West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort!
The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)

The site felt tucked away enough to have our own tiny world for the night. We explored, took way too many pictures, sat around, and just enjoyed being somewhere that made slowing down feel easy.
There were so many small, beautiful details around the property that made it fun to wander with a camera. It felt less like we were just renting a campsite and more like we had found a little hideaway someone had been kind enough to share with us.

The campsite was clean, comfortable, and clearly cared for, and the hosts made us feel genuinely welcome. It was the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy the outdoors without feeling crowded or rushed. We left relaxed, refreshed, and already talking about coming back.

Lisa, the host, came down to check on us and was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. She also shared some great recommendations for local restaurants and entertainment, which we really appreciated. It sounds like she is open to hosting group events as well, so definitely reach out to Lisa to see if she can accommodate your needs.
And for anyone wondering about the bridge leading to the property-it is very stable and felt completely secure crossing it. The internet was also surprisingly strong.

Overview
About
One of West Virginia’s most beloved parks, Chief Logan State Park is surrounded by rolling crests and valleys, with 18 miles of hiking trails winding out from basecamp. Some are great for mountain biking, others for snapping photos of wildflowers and fauna. They vary in intensity from relaxing, to worthy of a carbo-load, but even if you work up a sweat the park has an outdoor swimming pool with waterslides to cool you off (the pool hosts several “pool bashes” in the summertime, complete with DJ!) An outdoor amphitheater at the park puts on The Aracoma Story regularly, a play about the tribe that formerly occupied the area. There’s also a wildlife center for observing black bears, bobcats, owls, hawks, wild boar, and reptiles native to the region, and a Kanawha Class locomotive on display for train enthusiasts. Even if you can’t make it to any of this limitless recreation in the warmer months, the park is worth a drive-thru in December—they get really into Christmas lights, great for a scenic sunset drive capped off by whimsical holiday cheer.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Chief Logan State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth perfect for outdoor activities, though it can be crowded. Winters are less ideal, with cooler temperatures and fewer services available.
Know before you go
- Check the park's official website for any alerts on closures or safety advisories before your visit.
- Ensure you have a map of the park, as cell service can be spotty in remote areas.
- Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the diverse terrain.
- Be mindful of the local wildlife; keep a safe distance and do not feed the animals.
- Take advantage of the available facilities, including picnic areas and restrooms, to make your visit comfortable.
