About this property

Lake Escape - Private Getaway near Tygart Lake State Park

The Lake Escape is a charming getaway nestled adjacent to Tygart Lake State Park: a retreat that offers year 'round opportunities. This cottage is private yet steps away from the features of the park. Our property is situated just 0.8 mi from the Lake Marina, 0.4 mi from the swimming area, 3 mi from the Lodge Restaurant, and adjacent to hiking, biking, picnic areas and playground. Whether you are looking for peace and relaxation or prefer outdoor adventure the Lake Escape welcomes you.

Being a remote location, the house has water supplied by a well which can at times have a sulfur smell to it. For those who are used to public water this may be unfamiliar. It is safe and there is a large water dispenser and water supplied for drinking for those that prefer.

Great Place

We had a great time at the lake and the house was the perfect place to stay at. Great location being so close to the marina and the nature center that our kids enjoyed during a chilly morning before going out on the lake. Very friendly owner, very clean, no complaints across the board. We will be looking to rent this house again.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Mills

As avid travelers we have had the opportunity to see many parts of the world, but as lifelong residents of West Virginia we have found Tygart Lake one of our favorite spots for relaxing getaways, out of mainstream and full of adventurous opportunities. Our enjoyment of this area is what we want to share with you.

Why they chose this property

Lake Escape is very unique to Tygart Lake as it is one of a very limited number of properties that lies within steps of the State Park, as close as you can be to the amenities offered by Tygart Lake.
Lake Escape offers the shortest walk to the Swim Park (4min) and Marina (15min) of any dwelling near Tygart Lake. Multiple hiking trails are within a few hundred yards of the door.
The property is secluded in a wooded setting with lots of wildlife and privacy, and yet just a few hundred yards from the park road, nature center, and large play ground.
The lake road is an amazing, shaded, level road for exercise and recreation.
