But anyone here will tell you its essence goes much deeper. Our story is carved into the hills. It sings in the treetops and flows with the rivers and streams. It resonates through the people who call this place home. When our visitors spend time here, they feel it. The warm welcome and genuine small-town charm. The tranquility of slowing down and taking time to breathe. The pleasures of being pampered. The sense of serenity and renewal that come from simply reconnecting to nature, to each other. The Greenbrier Valley is where you go when it’s time to get back to the things that matter—health, well-being and relationships. It’s luxurious and very down-to-earth all at the same time—part soothing, refreshing oasis; part lush, natural playground. So when it’s time for a relaxing and rejuvenating escape from the every day, we invite you to the Greenbrier Valley. It’s the perfect place to #SimplyGetAway. Kara D.
