View from the Top: Where to Celebrate Mountain Day
This year, we celebrate Mountain Day on Saturday, December 11th. It's an opportunity to embrace and reflect on the majesty that mountains bring to our lives, and our real estate agents can't think of a better place to do that than the Morgantown, WV, area.
After all, mountains are in our blood here in West Virginia. It's the only U.S. state that lies entirely within the Appalachian Mountain range, and has the highest average elevation of any state in the East. If you're in West Virginia on Mountain Day this year, be sure to check out one of these amazing mountain hikes that are close enough for a day trip from Morgantown.

Home Search: Should You Buy That Log Cabin?
Many people dream of getting away from it all and living in a log cabin far from civilization. Who wouldn't want to live surrounded by mountains and forests?
Of course, the reality is that living in a log cabin isn't for everyone. It comes with some very real challenges as well as some amazing benefits. So before you decide to go off the grid and buy that rustic log home, our real estate agents want to make sure you understand the pros and cons.
Pros of Log-Cabin Living
- Energy Efficiency
Wood is a great insulator. That fact, coupled with the thickness of a typical log cabin's walls, translates to excellent energy efficiency year-round. Log cabins trap heat inside during the winter months and are equally effective at sealing in conditioned air in summer. Wood also naturally absorbs heat during the day and radiates it at night, reducing the need for forced heat or air.
