One of the options I would certainly entertain is staying in one of the motel rooms at Yokum's Vacationland, Senaca Rocks, WV. One of the things that concerns me about a cabin is every year a large number of the members that are interested in attending the T Rally back-out in the last few days, or just do not show-up. If someone were dependent on having one or more cabin-mates and they do not show-up that someone gets stuck with the cost of the whole cabin. With a hotel room, at Yokum's or anywhere else, if some riders do not show-up I am only responsible for my one room, the same as if I were travelling alone.

Smokehole also has reasonably-priced motel rooms with queen-size beds, phones, TVs, and maid service. I would be willing to stay there too if others like their rooms or cabins better. Smoke Hole's 900 sq.ft. Riverside cabins sleep up to 6 (two bedrooms and a loft with 2 queen and 2 twin beds), have wireless Internet, a pool, a fully equipped kitchen, maid service, a fireplace, grill and a picnic table for $139 on Thursday night and $169 each for Friday and Saturday night. There is a 2 night minimum. The only jacuzzis at Smoke Hole are in the Riverside Honeymoon Log Cabins and the Honeymoon Suite in the Motel. Those accommodations only have 1 bed.

At Yokum's you can get cabins with a large jacuzzi tub or outdoor hot tubs. Their new cabins with the outdoor hot tubs have 2 bedrooms and a loft with 1 queen, 2 full size and 4 twin beds for $200 per night. Wireless or high-speed Ethernet access is available.

Camping is available at both Smoke Hole (with full hook-ups and cable TV RVs, no tents, are $25 on Thursday night and $35 each on Friday and Saturday night), and at Yokum's (tents are $5 per night, pop-ups with electricity are $15.50 per night and RVs are $17.50 per night).
