From 1897 until The Great Depression, the Grand Hotel at Pence Springs was among West Virginia's most exclusive resorts. Today, it is among its most romantic inns. Custom-designed rooms and suites include private baths and unparalleled views of the Greenbrier Valley. After an invigorating day, relax among spacious porches, gracious parlors, or in the Cider Press Lounge. Opt for an evening of shopping, or catch a live performance at Carnegie Hall in the Lewisburg National Historic District. The elegant hotel dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, which includes trademark duckling, rainbow trout, and char-broiled black angus streak. The 400-acre plantation and its mineral spring have been featured in such magazines as Gourmet, Southern Living, and Mid-Atlantic Country. Recreation packages include hiking, golfing, biking, caving, and fishing and canoeing on the Greenbrier River. Check in is 4 p.m.; check out, at 11 a.m. On-site camping is also available. Also of interest, the adjacent Pence Springs Flea Market, on the old polo grounds, has attracted more than 135,000 annual visitors for more than 20 years of Sundays. The hotel is 20-miles west of Lewisburg and the State Fairgrounds on W.Va. 3 and 30-miles south of Interstate 64.

Restaurants, an outdoor pool, and a fishing lake make this one of West Virginia's best vacation destination parks. It earns our highest recommendation.
