The story
The east end of the inn, including the dining room, is the brick house John Withrow built in 1834; beams in the dining room, lounge and lobby were reclaimed from outbuildings thought to be livery stables. The Hock family bought the property and has run it as a hotel continuously since 1929, adding the main section and west wing designed by Walter Martens, the architect of the Governor’s Mansion in Charleston. The Hocks furnished it with 1800s antiques collected around the Greenbrier Valley. The inn stayed with one family until current proprietors Sparrow and Aaron Huffman bought it.
