Nearby Davis West Virginia was voted by Men's Health as one of the coolest little mountain towns in the country. It's sister town, Thomas, is notable for live music, galleries and a thriving community. Note that the high elevation of this Valley means the climate is more like Maine or Southern Canada/summer days very rarely get beyond 80s at their hottest and evenings dip down to 50s or low 60s, even in July and August. Much more natural snow in winter than anywhere nearby given that the high elevation, large Canaan Valley catches the most southern Great Lakes effect weather. This is also a dark sky area and I get my best sleep here!
