Virtual Tour of The Greenbrier Resort, Part 2

Let’s continue our virtual tour of The Greenbrier Resort, located in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia! There is such a rich history with this resort that I couldn’t possibly begin to scratch the surface of it, but be sure to read up on it sometime.

Why are we “touring” The Greenbrier? Because my upcoming release, Undercut, is partially set at The Greenbrier. This romantic suspense novella releases October 3 in the Kill Zone: Ten Deadly Thrillers boxed set. Read more about the TEN bestselling Christian thriller/suspense writers in the set and pick it up for 99c for a limited time here!

And now, let’s head back to our tour. As you might recall, last time we stopped after my husband and I explored the grounds behind the main building. Today, we’re heading INSIDE…and I figure we’ll need one more tour day to share even a third of what we saw!

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE GREENBRIER RESORT, PART 2:

Since it was such a hot day when my husband and I visited The Greenbrier, it was a relief to head inside the air-conditioned main building to check in. We made our way past the upscale shops that line a wide hallway–there’s a handmade chocolate shop, a Ralph Lauren shop we wished we could afford, a jeweler, and much more. Also on the lower level is a spa, an Aveda hair salon, a bowling alley, a movie theater, and a pool area. Find a list of the shops at The Greenbrier here.

We passed some relaxing lobby areas, like this one:lounge area greenbrier

And Draper’s Restaurant is a delicious place to eat, although we didn’t eat there this time around. The decor is one-of-a-kind, designed by Dorothy Draper:

 

When we checked in, they offered us glasses of iced peach sweet tea, which was a refreshing treat. Then we headed up to our room to settle in. It was so uniquely decorated!

I tried to stage a couple of pictures with my first-in-series romantic suspense novella, Out of Circulation, that is also partially set at The Greenbrier. As you can tell, I’m no staging pro, but don’t you love the color of this lamp? And there’s another pic of the view from our window:

Next, we wanted to catch the tea that is offered in the afternoon, so we wandered downstairs. Here’s a pic of the entryway (check out the metal chandelier–I just love it):

And I’ll share a few pictures of the main interior rooms at The Greenbrier. There are plenty of comfy nooks where you can settle to drink your tea, although it did get crowded:

The piano began to play, and we made our way to the tea and dessert spread in the central area.

AND we’ll have to cut it short there, since I’ve shared so many pictures today! We’ll do one more tour day next week, when I’ll share pics of our tea and the wedding planning room! Come back for the continued virtual tour of The Greenbrier Resort!

    This place is on my “bucket list” . I have family members who have vacationed here numerous times. My husband would love the golf and I would love to sit in a chair with a good book and enjoy the view.

      You all would LOVE it! It’s well worth saving for, even just a one-night stay like we had! The golf course is beautiful.

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
