Anyone looking for lodging with a heaping helping of retro will love Coolfont Resort outside Berkeley Springs. This property reflects back on a time when families traveled to a single destination for their summer vacations and didn’t leave until vacation was over—these were often places that offered a little something for everyone all in one place. Coolfont does that and more with comfortable lodging, an on-site swim center, a restaurant and lounge for the adults, hiking trails galore, and a 12-acre lake. 3621 Cold Run Valley Road, Berkeley Springs, 304.500.0500, coolfont.com, @coolfontresort on Facebook
Koolwink Motel in Romney is another roadside pit stop that wayworn travelers love for its devotion to simpler times. It’s been in the hands of the same family—the Mauks—for almost a century, although its appearance has evolved over time from the single-structure “tourist home” that first welcomed visitors in 1936. The Mauks characterize the place as a “modern facility with a retro feel,” offering simple rooms and reservations by telephone only. For a truly authentic vintage motel experience, check out Koolwink on your next journey through the area. 24350 Northwestern Pike, Romney, 304.822.3595, koolwink.com, @thekoolwinkmotel on Facebook
