The Pence Springs Resort
A Historic Destination, Reimagined
Tucked along the Greenbrier River in southern West Virginia, Pence Springs is being thoughtfully revitalized into a boutique destination rooted in heritage, wellness, and nature.
Originally developed in the early 1900s as a mineral spring resort, this property once drew travelers seeking its renowned healing waters and refined atmosphere. Today, it stands as one of the region’s most compelling opportunities to bring a historic destination back.
The Vision
Pence Springs is being reimagined as a 40-room boutique resort that blends the elegance of the 1920s with modern Appalachian design.
The property is being thoughtfully restored to honor its history while introducing a new standard of hospitality in southern West Virginia. Every detail—from architecture to experience—is designed to feel timeless, grounded, and intentional.
The Experience
More than a place to stay, Pence Springs is designed as a place to gather, unwind, and explore.
Guests will have access to a full-service wellness spa, outdoor pool, and an upscale restaurant rooted in Appalachian flavors. A speakeasy and cigar lounge will nod to the property’s Prohibition-era past, creating a layered, immersive experience that blends history with modern comfort.
The Destination
Surrounded by rivers, trails, and some of the region’s most visited outdoor destinations, Pence Springs offers a deeper connection to place.
Outdoor experiences like horseback riding, hiking, and lawn activities are woven into the stay, while thoughtfully designed spaces allow for weddings, retreats, and intimate gatherings. With proximity to the New River Gorge and a growing tourism market, the property is positioned as a destination in its own right.
Built for Where Travel Is Going
Travel is shifting and people are seeking:
Authentic places with real stories
Nature and space to disconnect
Elevated experiences without large-scale resorts
The Pence Springs Resort sits at the intersection of all three—combining historic character, curated experiences, and a destination setting that can’t be replicated.
