Welcome!
A New Era Begins at Corton Lodge
In September 2024, a new era will begin as new ownership begins renovations on the historic site of the old Barren Creek Baptist Church and its surrounding lands. With a commitment to honor the rich history of the property while infusing it with modern amenities, we are dedicated to transforming this iconic location into Corton Lodge, a premier destination for guests seeking luxury and adventure in the heart of West Virginia’s stunning natural landscape.

Embracing Tradition, Inspiring the Future
We are deeply honored to steward the transformation of this cherished site. Our vision for Corton Lodge includes preserving the integral elements of the church’s architecture—such as the original hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, and the church bell in the steeple—while introducing contemporary comforts that guests will love. This blend of old and new is at the heart of the Corton Lodge experience, offering a unique retreat.
