Be among the first to experience our inaugural season. Reserve your Mountain Retreat today.
Perched atop the mountains of southern West Virginia, the Gopher Ridge Mountain Lodge offers an unforgettable blend of rustic elegance, refined comfort, and authentic Appalachian hospitality.
Here, panoramic Ridgeline Views stretch across both West Virginia and Virginia, where vibrant autumn colors paint the mountains and winter storms gracefully roll across distant peaks before drifting into the valleys below.
As evening settles in, gather around the fire beneath a sky filled with stars as lightning bugs dance through the cool mountain air.
This isn’t simply where you’ll stay. It’s where you’ll want to return.
Whether you’re preparing for an early morning hunt or enjoying a well-earned afternoon nap, your Private Retreat Suite offers the privacy, comfort, and quiet that define a true mountain retreat.
Some of the finest wildlife encounters happen before you ever leave the lodge.
Step onto the Observation Porch with a fresh cup of coffee as trophy bull elk bugle across the mountains during the fall rut. Watch whitetail does and spotted fawns feeding peacefully just outside your Private Retreat Suite. Wild turkey, songbirds, colorful autumn mornings, and unforgettable mountain sunrises are simply part of everyday life at Gopher Ridge.
Nature doesn’t stop when the hunt is over.
Business doesn’t always stop for hunting season—and at Gopher Ridge, it doesn’t have to.
Whether you’re extending your stay or simply checking in with the office between hunts, you’ll enjoy dependable high-speed internet in one of the most peaceful work environments imaginable.
Host your morning meeting from your Private Retreat Suite. Answer a few emails. Then step onto the Observation Porch, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and watch elk cross the meadow before heading back into the woods.
Some retreats help you disconnect. Gopher Ridge helps you reconnect—with your work, your family, and the outdoors.
