The riverfront stretch of land that forms Saint Albans and Cross Lanes encompasses two charming West Virginia communities. Residents looking for a rental in either Cross Lanes or Saint Albans frequently cross-shop the two locales thanks to their similar proximity to outdoor destinations like the Kanawha River and State Forest. The river bisects the area, providing locals with clear views of its water as well as fishing and boating opportunities.

Saint Albans and Cross Lanes is also thought to be one of the longest-occupied settlements in the continental United States. Some artifacts found in the area date back to 7,900 B.C. The two towns hold 11 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Today Saint Albans/Cross Lanes has become an outdoor destination for kayakers and anyone else looking for fun on the river, both residents and visitors.
