Capon Springs and Farms in
High View (WV)

It's a rustic old school resort. The familes that manage Capon are all wonderful people. We have going to Capon for about 32 years to celebrate my Mother in laws birthday. My mother in law went with her parents.

A magical family vacation that manages to feel like a total throwback to the “good old times”. The baked goods are divine, the customer service is outstanding and the vibes are perfection. Added bonus, the kids ran free and feral and met a pack of kids they’re now calling their besties. Everyone is welcomed into the Capon family. I’ve never had so much time to spend with my spouse on a vacation. Our extended family lingered over meals and connected at the golf course. Everyone had a great time!

I have Stayed at Capon Springs Farms many times over the years. Every experience is unique and wonderful from my childhood to my children’s experience, Capon is a part of our family experience and consciousness. Jonathan makes everyone feel like they are really special. Margy and her team at the front desk are so welcoming. We can’t wait to get there and we always hate to leave. Capon is a beautiful paradise.

My sister and I took our niece and nephew to Capon Springs and we were not disappointed! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and offer more than enough to do for children of all ages. We stayed a week and still did not do everything offered. The grounds are rich in history and hospitality. The food is incredible! The rooms are average but you won't spend much time in them anyway. Take some extra cash to experience the spa sessions because it's worth every penny. We highly recommend!

This place has become such a haven for my cousins, sister and me. We have been meeting yearly to take four days of true rest. We love the staff, the location and the overall vibe of Capon Springs.

Being at Capon Springs is like coming home to me as I have been vacationing there for 55 years; starting as a teenager. I love that Capon has stayed as it was with homemade meals, offers sports ( including golf) and other outdoor games and special evening activities. Plenty of beautiful trails and natural areas to explore too. Relaxation is a outcome of each visit!

Capon Springs is a uniquely wonderful family-oriented resort. It is quiet and peaceful, set among creeks, mountains and hiking trails. There are plenty of organized activities if you are looking to be entertained, ranging from gentle sports competitions (golf, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, ping pong) to the spa (massages and hot spring baths) and group activities (local musicians, campfires). It is also a throwback to a simpler time, with no TVs and wifi in limited areas, so families actually spend their time at Capon speaking with each another. My family has been coming to Capon every summer for four generations and we love it. I've noticed some chatter in these reviews about a future wind farm. I am not concerned about that. Capon has been a family-run resort for over 90 years with a firm set of values and very little change. We have known the owners personally for many decades and we know how deeply they care about the resort and the surrounding community. We trust them to take great care of our little slice of heaven for many generations to come.

Capon is a rustic and beautiful place. Anytime we visit we feel like we are arriving home. The staff is welcoming and always express how happy they are to see us. Meals are homemade, delicious and unique in their own way (eggs to order, campfire hotdogs and Thursday dinner on the hill are some of my favorite foods to have there). We enjoy all the activities the resort has to offer. It is such a great place to get away, unplug and spend time with friends and family.

My family has attended Capon Springs for over 80 years. We enjoy disconnecting from technology, being in nature, and relaxing. Family style meals and comfortable lodging add to the experience. Staff is warm and welcoming. I enjoy my yearly trips!

Capon is a magical place. My family has been going for a week in the summer my entire life. The beautiful hikes, spring-fed pool, relaxing spa, and stocked game room give opportunities for family members of all ages to enjoy themselves. It is rustic and historic with top notch hearty food and special traditions. I can’t recommend a stay here enough to anyone looking to reconnect with nature and relax with family.

Capon Springs is my home away from home. For over 50 years I have visited this resort and it is my place of refuge and restorative energy. The beautiful buildings, grounds and peaceful atmosphere are accompanied by caring co-workers and delightful guests. The true care of the guests is a feeling that has been passed down through multiple generations. Each person, the land and the springs that keep this place thriving, are critical to the atmosphere at Capon Springs. I am happy to have been essentially raised with the Capon Spirit and love handing this down to my children. As adults, they too find their yearly visit important, as the peace and spirit of Capon continues to be a part of them.

Almost Heaven! A hidden gem of a hideaway in the West Virginia mountains. Music in the trees, 18-hole golf, hiking trails galore, all meals included, and the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. Wish I could give it 6 stars :)

Many years ago my husband and I were married at Capon Springs and Farms, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Jonathan officiated our wedding, which took place on the golf course with the most amazing view. Unfortunately, the resort does not offer their location as a wedding venue, they made this exception for us because of our families history and connections to the community. They also graciously rented their meeting room to us when we needed a space to meet with clients, an exception they made specifically for us. This was incredibly helpful for our business. We are truly grateful for what the resort has done for us. However, we are very disappointed in Capon Springs & Farms. What was once a beloved part of our community is now actively working against the interests of local residents. By partnering with and facilitating the industrial wind turbine project—one that threatens our environment, property values, and way of life—they are prioritizing outside corporate interests over the well-being of their neighbors. I can't imagine it remaining the wonderful destination and resort that it is now with turbines towering over the land and dominating the skyline. The peace and solitude we cherish in Capon Springs as full-time residents will surely be destroyed. It’s disheartening to see a place that once stood for peace and preservation now complicit in a project that will forever scar the landscape and harm the community. We hold no claim to anything at the resort except for our memories, and it is sad to think that where we were married could be overshadowed by turbines, literally directly above that spot. If they had been there before, we would have never chosen that location for our wedding.

Most of the reviews mention stunning views, tranquil mountains, and peaceful stay. These will be a thing of the past because Capon Springs & Farms has agreed to lease their property to OPC Energy Ltd. an Israeli-owned energy company planning to install 28 mega 696’ tall industrial wind turbines along Spring Mountain. While some five years in the planning, it was just a few months back when the project came to the attention of area residents. On future visits, you will wake up to the sound of a massive wind turbines and have an amazing view of massive metal fans.

@ Oliver Jones said in his review:“There is something about the rooms that feel unreal! When you wake up and you hear the music and the water flowing down the stream is just surreal.” This will be a thing of the past! Capon Springs & Farms has agreed to lease their property to OPC Energy Ltd. an Israeli-owned energy company planning to install 28 mega 696’ tall industrial wind turbines along Spring Mountain. This beloved natural landmark is known for its sweeping views at the Eagle Rock overlook and as a critical passageway for the famed Tuscarora Trail. While some five years in the planning, it was just a few months back when the project came to the attention of area residents. Oliver, on your next visit, you will wake up to the sound of a massive wind turbine and its environmental impact.

This is the most special place and my family's favorite weekend of the year when we visit in the fall! We have been visiting on the same weekend for 12 years now and we recognize about half the guests (now friends) who also come year after year! What an amazing gem of a place- the activities, location, food and fellowship are wonderful.

A relaxing place to be off the grid and on again if you really need to. Fresh food and recreation! Staff are kind and helpful! Great corn pie, blue ice cream that tastes like cookies and cream, amazing blueberry pie, fresh fruit and unique meals. I had an amazingly unique experience! Also great artwork and a unique decor.

Our family has been coming to Capon Springs for several years and always feel so safe and have plenty of things for each family member to do. The only bad thing this time was the bugs, it was very hot so we had the back door opened and there were some spaces where the bugs could easily get into the room. When we checked out we told the person at the check out area and she said she would have our rooms checked

We have been coming to Capon for over 20 years. Always a great time. We Golf, Fish, Hike and do some of the planned activities that Capon offers. The food is home cooking and always excellent. The service can’t be beat. Always look forward to coming back.

Always a great time at Capon Springs and Farms. The resort is great, and the employees are wonderful. They truly know how to create a fun environment for everyone. There are tons of kids activities (and adult kid activities). The food is really good, but I wish they still did family style. The golf course is great. And Pete is the salt of the earth!

We are so glad to have found the amazing place that is Capon Springs. Capon allows our young family to disconnect from all the distractions that today's world brings and instead focus on being present with one another against the backdrop of the beautiful mountains of WV. My kids (3 & 5) love the playground, the trails, the yard games, and the scheduled activities. The food is filling and delicious, no need for snacking in between the provided meals here! The friendliness of the staff and leadership is second to none. No phones needed, just a longing to be outdoors and to spend quality time with friends and family. If you've never been and are considering a visit, you won't regret spending either a long weekend or a full week at Capon Springs.

My family came here yearly in the 1990s, and it was so special to be able to share this unplugged and wholesome experience with my 8 year old son. With the added spa options & escape room, along with the reliably delicious & nutritious 3 meals a day, this is a summer escape that will leave you feeling recharged, refreshed, and reinvigorated for the pace of the outside world. I can't recommend Capon Springs highly enough, and going there was beautifully memorable for myself, and my whole family this year. Absolutely a gem in the DC area for weekend or week long getaways!

Thank you to all of the staff for helping to make our wedding weekend AMAZING! Every detail of service was appreciated (by all 80 of us!), from the sippy cups for our toddlers, to the care and attention to special diets, to the golf cart for our great-grandmother. We love this charming resort... the gorgeous setting, the family-feeling, and the fun and relaxing amenities. We can't wait to return!

I couldn't be happier with Capon Springs as my wedding destination this spring. My husband and I, along with many friends and family members, enjoyed a weekend of relaxation at Capon Springs while we married at a barn nearby. Capon staff was so friendly and accommodating, and they made us feel special throughout. I highly recommend this as a family getaway. There's tons to do and while you're there you feel like family!

I visited Capon Springs and Farms in early fall of this year. Trees were turning yellow and red, beautiful. I loved my stay. Every meal, they assigned the closest table from the entrance and a high chair for my baby daughter, same spot all the time. They gave us attention and cared about us. It was so warm and I am very appreciated. They have everything. Hair dryers, baby crib, etc. My room was old but well maintained and clean. Wifi was available near the main building, just fast enough to check emails and news, so do not worry about emergencies. The private spa and massage cost some money but they were fantastic. I would definitely come back Capon Springs when my daughter becomes old enough to enjoy outside activities.

I’ve never experienced a place like Capon. It’s the perfect reset our family needs. No phones, beautiful scenery, great food, kind people and all based around true tradition. You can tell the family keeping Capon alive truly has pride for their property and wants to share it with their guests. Every time I visit I wish I could share the experience with others. Thank you for another amazing set of memories!

Capon Springs is my favorite place on earth. My family has visited every year for three generations, and it is our most beloved summer tradition. It is the perfect escape from the stresses of day to day life, and when you’re there, you feel like family. My best childhood memories are at Capon, playing in the sand pit, walking along the creek bed, performing in the talent show, and stuffing my face with blueberry pie on the hill! I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks. Country roads, take me home ⛰
