Description: Rocky Gap Lodge is out in the mountains in the western part of the state. It has been awarded the AAA Four Diamond award and you might think you have to catch a flight to a remote island to enjoy all it has to offer. It has an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a spa, and what seems to be a gazillion activities that include geocaching, bike and boat rental, horseback riding, sporting clays, rock climbing and rappelling. If that’s not enough to work up an appetite, think about local and regional ingredients, farm fresh eggs, and locally produced fish and meats. When you like an organized approach to your visit, check the resort’s calendar for wine dinners, murder mystery events, live music, and holiday specials.
