The Mingo Saloon & Lodge.

Set along West Virginia’s scenic Seneca Skyway, The Mingo Saloon & Lodge trades the standard roadside motel blueprint for a character-rich mountain retreat. This 20-room log cabin lodge is wrapped in 4,000 square feet of covered, wheelchair-accessible porches complete with swings and Adirondack chairs, which serve as the main entryway to both the uniquely furnished guest rooms and the communal spaces. It is a highly practical base camp for Appalachian adventures—from fly fishing to motorcycle touring—offering dog-friendly rooms and easy access to the region's ski slopes and historic railroads. Downstairs, the on-site saloon and restaurant anchor the social scene, serving up hearty, homemade comfort food in a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere that is distinctly West Virginian.
