Once a boardinghouse for lumberjacks, the Bright Morning Inn in downtown Davis, WV has operated continuously since 1988. This fully-renovated historic property has 8 guestrooms (including one suite) each with a private bath, and a 48-seat restaurant. The guestrooms have rustic pine floors and are furnished with turn-of-the-century antiques, original artwork, handmade quilts, and rag rugs.
Bright Morning Inn offers a unique opportunity for an outdoor-oriented owner/operator who desires a return to a simpler and laid-back lifestyle. The Inn has a complete, commercial kitchen and is open to the public for dinner. There is an opportunity for a new owner to greatly expand the offerings of the restaurant while enjoying the additional income from the guestroom rentals.
The Inn accommodates a friendly assortment of hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers who are attracted to the many miles of nearby trails. There are abundant opportunities for rock climbing, caving, hunting, fishing, and whitewater sports. The 800,000 acres of Monongahela National Forest that surround the Inn are a naturalist’s dream. Day trips may be made with ease to nearby wilderness areas, Blackwater Falls, Caanan Valley, Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, Spruce Knob, and Seneca Rocks. The ski resorts of Timberline, Canaan Valley, and White Grass are only minutes from the Inn, and the Blackwater Falls State Park is within a mile.
In summer, the Bright Morning Inn is surrounded by lush perennial and herb gardens, with temperatures rarely exceeding the mid 80’s. In winter, its side yard receives 150-200 inches of snow…a scene that gives a whole new meaning to the words “snow play”.
This property is For Sale By Owner. Bright Morning Inn is offered, turnkey, for $650,000. The 4-bedroom owner’s home across the street is available for $175,000. Owner is willing to consider financing.
