Despite opening Friday, the resort plans on more than doubling its capacity. Once the resort is complete, there'll be around 30 cabins available in total as well as a spa as part of the $20 million project.
Managing Partner of Valley View Cabin Resort, Chris Waters, said the cabins have been open since December, but they waited until the weather got better for the ceremony. He said that there has been a great amount of interest in the resort since opening and that the natural beauty of the area is something to behold.
'This is one of the most beautiful places in West Virginia and even the East Coast,' Waters said.
Officials with Valley View said that a night stay at the resort costs around $175 in the off-season and $350-400 in the ski season. You can go to Valley View's website to see its current offerings.

Philippi honors Civil War legacy with Blue and Gray Reunion
PHILIPPI, (WBOY) — The 2025 Blue and Gray Reunion in Philippi concluded on Sunday with a staged reenactment of the Battle of Philippi, the first organized land engagement of the American Civil War. The event capped off a weekend filled with historical reflection, community celebration and cultural enrichment. Throughout the weekend, the town welcomed visitors with Civil War encampments, living history demonstrations and guided historical tours, offering a glimpse into the life and experiences of soldiers and civilians during the 1860s. During the reunion period reenactors, dressed in authentic military and civilian attire, brought the era to life with portrayals and battlefield demonstrations. Historic Washington Irving Middle School honored with farewell tour 'This is what started it all, so you know, once this was over, the battle was on and of course it got worse after that. You know, there wasn't a lot of injuries and stuff, people killed here but it was an important battle because it was indeed the first land battle of the Civil War,' a resident of Philippi and an impersonator of President Abraham Lincoln Carl Swick said. 'Our covered bridge was used to access the supplies to get to, you know, the North to the South.' Held annually, the Blue and Gray Reunion commemorates the Battle of Philippi, which occurred on June 3, 1861. Sometimes referred to as the 'Philippi Races' due to the hasty retreat of Confederate forces, the battle marked a significant early Union victory and helped solidify Federal control over western Virginia. 'The importance of being able to retell these events, and the stories, and the people who are in them, when you have a point of reference from where things started and where they've gone it helps you understand some of the reasons behind things, why things are the way they are,' a living history story teller of the life of James Robison who was a surgeon for the 16th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Chad Benson said. 'History teaches us where we've come from and a lot of times where we are headed. So, if you know what we intend to do, you have a good idea of what we're going to do, or what we should change.' The battle, though small in scale, reinforced Union morale and contributed to the eventual formation of the state of West Virginia in 1863. Spectators gathered in town to witness a recreation of the Union forces' pre-dawn surprise attack on Confederate troops, which was an operation led by Colonel Benjamin Kelley and Colonel Ebenezer Dumont.

This wild and wonderful state is an underrated gem for family vacations
'Family Travel' is a five-part series showcasing the best experiences and destinations for young families looking for an escape. If you'd like to contribute to our future reporting and share your experience as a source, you can click here to fill out this quick form. OAK HILL, West Virginia ‒ Extreme sports like whitewater rafting and rock climbing may seem like something best left to adults, but in West Virginia's New River Gorge, outdoor adventure can easily be an activity for the whole family. Guided excursions can be tailored to everyone's skill level and ability for those who want to go all-out, but there are less-extreme ways to get in touch with nature along one of the world's oldest rivers, too. Here are just some of the reasons West Virginia should be on your list if you're looking for a family-friendly outdoor vacation. Is it worth staying off property? What Disney, Universal guests should know. Affordability and accessibility are two of the big benefits to getting outside in West Virginia. Hiking and biking trails in state and national parks are free to access for everyone who visits the state, but even for more intense guided excursions, the prices are a good deal. (There is also an entry fee for Harpers Ferry National Historic Park.) 'We're definitely one of the most affordable destinations,' Lindsey Funk, a public relations assistant at West Virginia Department of Tourism told USA TODAY on a recent visit. 'Hiking is probably one of our most family-friendly activities.' Funk said there are plenty of short hikes, like the Endless Wall trail, which can be done in just a few hours, though guides are available for hire as well. For more intense activities like whitewater rafting and rock climbing, families may prefer to hire a guide to keep things safe. 'With a lot of those guided trips, like, in the Gorge specifically, you can kind of tailor it,' she said. 'There's a family-friendly option that's more of afloat, and then there's a more intense trip for more experienced people.' ACE Adventure Resort is one of the guide outfitters, and charges $99 per adult for a full-day guided family trip with rapids up to Class III on the New River. On that excursion, kids ages 6-11 go for free (one per full-fare adult), and youths ages 12 and up are charged $79.99. Cruise cabin math: When booking two rooms makes more sense than one For comparison, the Colorado Rafting Company charges $159 per person for a full-day guided excursion on the Colorado River. Pricier and more intense excursions are also available. Depending on conditions, rapids in some sections of the New River can hit Class IV or higher. West Virginia is also home to professional circuit bike races and other events, which Funk said attracts spectators and encourages more families to try outdoor activities. Outdoor adventures in West Virginia are available in many parts of the state, but the New River Gorge is certainly among the biggest draws with the most options for activities. Charleston, the state capital, is about an hour north of the National Park there, and other cities closer to the park include Fayetteville, Beckley and Hinton. The closest major airport to the New River Gorge is in Charleston, WV. Amtrak also serves the area, and of course, cruising the country roads is an option as well. Funk said that families should think about what their lodging priorities are when they book, because there are options at all different price points from traditional tent camping to boutique hotels. Because the Gorge is so accessible from Charleston, staying in the city is a viable option, too. 'The thing would be families to decide what they want their lodging to be like. If they're wanting more of a remote cabin, then staying in in the Gorge is best. Whereas if they want more of these city options, they could stay (in Charleston) and just go to the Gorge for a day trip.' Funk said that outdoor adventures aren't limited to the warmer weather months in West Virginia, either. 'The seasons is a big thing that we appreciate here and is interesting to a lot of other people that we are a four season destination,' she said. "We have beautiful fall foliage, but then we have ski resorts and snow in the winter, so people can try out a season-specific activity if they want to.' This story was updated to refresh headlines.
