Hotels in West Virginia

There is no single answer, because it depends on what you want to be near. The areas with the widest choice are Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, Berkeley Springs, Elkins, so those are the best places to start if you are looking for options rather than one particular spot.

Most of them are in Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, Berkeley Springs, Elkins and a number of smaller places besides. Selecting a location shows everything listed there, along with the attractions nearby and how far away they are.

Rates move with the season and the particular weekend far more than with the county. Peak fall color, the ski holidays, Bridge Day and the Gauley release weekends are the most expensive dates everywhere, while a midweek night in March is generally the cheapest. Each listing shows the starting rate published by its owner, and the property's own booking page sets the final price.

For an ordinary weekend, booking a few weeks in advance is usually enough. For Bridge Day, the Gauley release weekends, peak fall color and the ski holidays, the better properties are reserved six months to a year ahead, and in the smaller towns near those events there is rarely a second wave of availability.

Some are and some are not, and the policy is set by each owner rather than by BookWV. Where a property has told us, the policy appears on the listing. Where it has not, the property's own booking page or a phone call is the reliable answer, because pet rules are the detail most often changed without the listing being updated.
