Planning to visit T'line coming season. Anyone has recommendation on lodging / accomodation options? Likely it will be me and my ski friend, hotels will do.
(Last time I visited T'line was the Epic Gathering and the group rented a house.)
The Canaan Valley State Park Lodge works very well.
Thank you Jim. I thought about Canaan but when I searched on Hotels.com for Davis, WV, nothing came up. Closest ones are in Elkins, Petersburg from the website. Canaan website is not up and running yet. When T'line was opened, if not staying at slopeside houses, was Canaan Valley Lodge the only option? It'd be too long of a drive to make a same day trip, I'd prefer to stay overnight somewhere.
I stayed at CV Lodge several years ago in order to ski Snowshoe and Timberline when starting from Massanutten in early Jan. It was shortly after the complete renovation. Quite nice for the price. As I remember the diningroom was still open relatively late. Food was good.
It had started snowing as we were driving from Snowshoe in the late afternoon. Keep snowing overnight. Since I had my old 2WD minivan I made sure to park so that I could start by driving down a slope in the morning. We got powder turns at Tline. :-)
I'm hoping to make it back to Davis to check out the new Tline lifts and use Indy at CV.
Timberline has a small version of a hotel comprised of about 20 rooms. Contact them asap to get a reservation. They may not be set up to do that yet but worth the chance. Their small hotel will be about 50 steps to the lifts.

Thank you! That's good advice. I will shoot them an email and also call to find out.
I emailed T'line (email from website: info@timberlinemountain.com) last night and already got an email reply before 8 am today. Guess it saved me a phone call today.
Thanks so much for reaching out to us in regards to our hotel. We do have a hotel that is right by our quad lift with 20 rooms. We are currently still fixing up the hotel and not quite ready for reservations, but we are hoping to start taking reservations by late November. I will send you an email as soon as we begin booking rooms.
If you have any other questions, please let us know. Have a great weekend!

Good to know!

It looks like a 2-night stay is required for the Timberline Lodge, even midweek. Starts at about $170 per night.
CV Lodge allows a 1-night stay. Starts at $139 per night.

If CV would be running running a shuttle to and from the base at TL that would be excellent. But CV probably wants to try to keep everyone at CV for the skiing as much as possible.

Since TL is adding parking, I don't see it as much of an issue for a midweek stay. Of course very different on weekends.
Did you go to TL last season? Very different than before. I went back a second time as a day trip from Massanutten because I had so much fun the first time. Got to use a $15 credit for skiing midweek, plus the $10 credit left from leaving at lunch time the first time. That paid for my lunch.
If you’re interested in a house slopeside, Best of Canaan has some options. I know interest is picking up lately, so you may want to book quickly. We just listed a large house with them Slopeside at Salamander trail. Sleeps 16 — Grand Ole Apres.
Canaan Village Inn (formally the Village Inn Motel) has done a lot of building and renovations of late. Might be worth checking out.
If you don’t mind the drive, the Billy Motel and Bright Morning Inn in Davis are worth considering.
Prices for condo and house rentals on the mountain have gone up considerably so these off mountain options might be easier on the wallet.

Thanks for the recommendations.
Prices seem to be high in general for lodging close by Timberline and CV. For the CV Inn, the rates are $175, $200, $235 in January 2022 for 2Q or K depending on midweek, weekend, or holiday nights. A good sign for the local economy though.

Not likely to get single night stays at Best of Canaan, especially "slopeside".
I'm a fan of Black Bear Resort. They have smallish cabins on pedestals and most sleep up to 6. Full kitchens, wood burning fireplaces, and a lot of character. Some are better-appointed than others.
If this season is anything like last, you are going to have to book well in advance. I typically like to wait for conditions to be pretty well set before booking which usually gives you a week or so (more in an epic snow year). Last year I had to book some mid-week trips since I couldn't find anything on weekends.
Other considerations would be cabins at at CV and Blackwater Falls. Bright Morning Inn (I've been going there for over 15 years); new ownership and newly decorated; great breakfast and dinner too.

A shuttle from CV makes it possible to boot up at your room and step out of the shuttle at TL ready to rock. Driving means having to boot up after you get there, possibly from a far away parking spot. That defeats the purpose of staying AT the resort. If I'm going to drive, I'll stay somplece 30 minutes away for half the price instead of someplace 5 minutes away for double.. still having to find a parking spot and boot up there or at the base...
That weekend will be the first CVR will be open. They are going through a total remodel of the rental shop and it'll be a close call for that weekend. I work ski school there on weekends and opening day is projected to be the 17th. BTW, they are also doubling the size of the tubing hill with a second conveyor. Expect the skiing toby better as well with new management for skier services.
We will be staying at CVR that weekend, but our plan is to ski at TL (we are TL passholders). I wish CVR the best but we will be waiting a bit later in the season to check them out.

Are you saying there is a shuttle from CVR hotel to TL? I noticed a bus at hotel last season, but assumed it was only going to CV.
