- Today we travel to our favorite hotel and resort, The Greenbrier. The Greenbrier is Americas Resort and I think America's best resort. This is where you stay in America. The Greenbrier is located it White Sulphur Springs West Virginia. The resort sits on 6,500 scenic acres in the Allegheny Mountains. People have been making the journey to White Sulphur Springs because that waters here have been know far and wide to be healing. The Greenbrier is the place where presidents and royalty stay, being that it is the #1 hotel in America. The Greenbrier has had guests such as Davey Crockett and over 26 US Presidents! In World War II this luxury resort was turned into a hospital. When the was was over the Greenbrier hired famous American designer Dorthey Draper to renovate the grand resort and give it a bold new personality. Draper worked her magic by adding bright colors, oversized patterns and an artists touch. Every room in the Greenbrier is over the top.
There is so much to do at the Greenbrier. Make no mistake, Golf is King and this resort. The Greenbrier has 3 championship 18 hole courses, a prestigious gold academy, and courses designed by Jack Nicholas. My family is not into golf, so we sign up for the ancient sport of Falconry. We are able to get up close and personal with Big Birds of prey hawks, falcons, and owls. We learn about the different birds and the sport of Falconry. Falconry is the training of birds of prey to not hunt for themselves but to hunt for their trainer or falconer. We all got to participate. And had an opportunity to have one of the magnificent birds land on our gloved hands.
Mr. Travel Bug and his friend also signed up for the Sporting Clay Course. Their is also horseback riding, Jeep off roading, mixology and painting classes, white water rafting, mountain climbing and so much more.
I find that my favorite thing to do is relax in the Greenbrier Spa and take in the waters. This is one of the oldest spas in the country. They have been performing hydrotherapy treatments for 250 years and other spa services.
There are so many places to choose from to eat. Drapers Café, Sam Sneed's, a sushi bar, pizzeria. The hotels main dining room is jacked required for it's old school dining experience. Prime 44 is the resorts signature steak restaurant. And let me just say if you are ever lucky enough to visit the Greenbrier, their 5 onion soup and lobster mashed potatoes should not be missed.
What really sets this resort apart is the underground bunker. The Greenbrier offers tours of the bunker daily. The bunker was a US secret for over 30 years. it was a secret bunker that Congress was going to live in if DC was ever under nuclear attack. The man who owned the Greenbrier also owned the railroad. When ever anyone in government would travel by train, the government would crazy over pay for their ticket and that is how they funneled the money to build this massive underground bunker. The Bunker was discovered in the early 90's by a Cleveland man, a professor. The professor was doing research on Hiroshima and how the only thing to survive the bomb was a bank because of its giant blast door. The professor then began to research the company that made these doors able to withstand a bomb and looked up their clients. It turns out, The Greenbrier the #1 hotel in the USA, purchased 3 of these blast doors. What!!!! So now that the cat is out of the bag it is open for tours.
Come see why this is our favorite place and America's best resort and hotel. The Greenbrier truly is Americas resort.

As someone who has lived in White Sulphur Springs Yall should see it at Christmas time Gillespies does a amazing job. The trees are adorable. The hotel is very cool!
We should!!! It’s the best and everyone who lives there is so nice!!!
Agreed bc I also live in the white Sulphur springs and it’s so pretty during Christmas time!!
Life is good at the Greenbrier!
The bunker, its relation to the government and the fact that the resort had so many government visitors is by far what makes it so interesting as a place and as a chunk of serious deep diving. Awesome place.
For sure!
Such a cool and beautiful place! I'll be honest, I love the decor and wish I were bold enough to try some of it at my house, lol. I'm not, though, so I just went with white. 😂 So excited to see that 1K by your name!! Yay! Well deserved. Also, loved your son's moves at the bowling alley.
I love the colors too & would love it in my home ! … Carleton Varney also did the decor at Grand Hotel Mackinac Island where we are going back to soon!
At least one in Every State!*!
Very great sharing and another beautiful place
Stay connected 🍧🍧
Great tour & narrative! Thanks!🎉
Congratulations on 1 K subscribers!! 🥳 Whoo hoo!
What a beautiful place. It's easy to see why this is your favorite place!
This place looks so cool 😎 I can see why it’s your favorite 👍
Love it
wow its wonderful place❤❤❤❤❤
before I liked your video there where 76 likes. I play a video game called fallout 76, and the game used West Virginia lore to design a post apocalyptic world, and it includes a recreation of the Greenbrier hotel, and you can get into the bunker.
Thanks for this!!!
Congratulation on the 1K subs!
West Virginia is one of the 7 states I have yet to visit. I’ll keep this in mind b/c someday I’m going to get there
YOu asked what our next goal is and it's to vacation in all 50. My husband, oldest kid and myself all have 2 to go. Little guy has 12. Idaho and Montana. Gonna try to make it real soon. If you've been to either let me know what you did.
@@DoodletheTravelBug Well, I've never been to Idaho, it's one of the 7 I haven't been to. As for Montana, my only stop was 2 years ago when I drove up there while visiting Devils Tower. I drove into the state, took a picture of the sign, got gas a little bit further up the road. Got on another road and was soon in South Dakota. If I was headed to Montana, I think I'd be looking up some of the historical places, such as Little Big Horn and the Lewis and Clark sites
You need to go sometime I’ve been once. It’s sweet man! Gorgeous property and lots to do
@@themanwiththevan2611 Definitely plan to get to West Virigina at some point; just am unsure as to when
By the way, Congratulations on 1000 subscribers!
This place looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing! So interesting about that bunker too!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. You have been one of the most supportive people we have met through all this. I very much appreciate it!
@@DoodletheTravelBug you're so welcome!!
I have never heard about this place. Considering you have gone to so much, it’s huge that this is your favorite! This room is huge and very pretty. Rosalie has so many stuffies where ever she goes. Your voiiceover is so good on your videos. But no way on falcon catching. Arcade and bowling is more my speed. My wide would be more of a Spa person. That pool is no joke. Out of all the channels I watch in all of CZcams, I discover more new places from you guys. I told my wife if I won the lottery, I would get a secret luxury bunker.
Great video and explanation about this resort! I’m thinking of going next month but trying to decide which room to choose. Do you remember what room type you stayed in? Loved the look of being inside a birthday cake😂
Happy travelling 👍😊🙏
Thank you! 😃
This place is a little bit awesome!
I've been to The Greenbrier many times, although it has been a long time since I have been there. The beauty that surrounds the hotel is most impressive. It was about 15 years ago that I took a tour of the bunker. I got the impression that we were only shown a small part of it.
If you’ve been many times, then you did something good in a past life because it really is something special! And I think you are right about it only being a small part of the bunker!
Mantab mantab... 😊👍👍

❤Already like it as the underground nuclear bunker, amongst many things, was discovered and developed by a Professor from Cleveland-Case Western University-who came up with the idea to build a secret bunker like that. The Browns knew what they were doing!
That's a luxury hotel in fallout 76
“This is Not It” Plausible Deniability as well as “This is it” Redirection!!*!!
That place is hideous inside
Holy smokes. I promise you it is not. It transports you to a different time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Enjoy your weekend
@@DoodletheTravelBugI live in White Sulphur Springs I LOVE IT
It’s gorgeous! I’m remodeling my home and using the greenbrier as my inspiration!
Ugh that place looks dated
It’s kind of the vibe! It was designed by famous designer Dorthy Draper.
