We are once again returning to the Inn at Mountain Quest in Frost West Virginia. The Inn at Mountain Quest is truly one of the best places we have ever traveled to. The Inn is located in Frost, West Virginia which is literally a crossroads. The nearest town is Marlinton, West Virginia which is 26 miles further west from the Inn. The Inn is a 126 acre farm located in a gorgeous valley in Pocahontas County West Virginia and is approximately 4 to 4 1/2 hours from Baltimore. There are many horses as well as other livestock on the actual farm. Their website is http://www.mountainquestinn.com.
The Inn has only 11 rooms total and we have a block of 10 rooms. Nine out of the ten rooms have 2 queen sized beds and one room has a king bed. The rate for the rooms with 2 queens is 139.00 per person per night. The rate for the king room is 149.00 per person per night. Each additional person in a room will add 30.00 per person per night. All rates are subject to 12% tax. All rates include a full breakfast served at the Inn on Saturday and Sunday morning. Each room is based on a certain theme and are truly well appointed. Please go to their website to check out the various themes of the rooms. To make a reservation you must call the Inn at 304-799-7267 and identify yourself as a member of the Baltimore Camera Club. You will need to give the Inn a credit card which will be used as a guarantee only. Individual cancellations received within 48 hours of arrival will be charged a one night penalty. After making a reservation please send me an email at olympus21209@yahoo.com so I can keep track of the bookings. If you are sharing a room with another member or significant other please advise me of their name as well.
IMPORTANT: Our block of rooms will be held until September 16. After that date you will need to call the Inn to check on availability. Due to the extremely rural location there are no other accommodations in the immediate area. The closest other accommodations are in the Marlinton area.
The Inn is once again serving dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings. We will plan a dinner - details to be advised - for our group on Saturday evening. You may dine at the Inn on Friday night or at another restaurant. Once again due to the very rural locations the nearest restaurants are in Marlinton.
Areas of interest include:
Beartown State Park - located 35-40 minutes away the park features wooden walkways through rock formations
Green Bank Radio Observatory - located within a few miles of the Inn
Cass Scenic Railway - located 40 minutes away offering gorgeous fall railroad journeys. Reservations are recommended.
Cranberry Glades Botanical Area - wooden walkways offer great views of the Glades in the fall. The area is 25 minutes away.
You can also hike the trails located within the area of the Inn. Some are quite steep but offer excellent views. The drives in the area of the Inn are also spectacular. Finding pullouts can be difficult at times but they do exist!
