Plan A Stay at this Retro Roadside Motel nestled a Small Adventure Town

📍Located along the “Appalachian Highway,” Route 32, The Billy Motel is one of West Virginia’s most hidden gems. Don’t let this pocket-sized, ten-room motel tucked within an old timber town fool you — both the motel and charming mountain town of Davis offer big personality, unique art, delicious food, and unmatched adventure.

✨ Originally built in the 1960s, this retro building received a facelift in 2025, combining modern amenities with The Billy’s one-of-a-kind nostalgic feel. The Ish Kitchen is the heart of the space, where mid-century style meets delightful cocktails and worldwide cuisine, topped off with live performances by local musicians. 

🥾 The best part about it? This slice of Almost Heaven overflows with outdoor adventure all year long. A prime four-season destination, Davis boasts unparalleled fall foliage and mountain biking routes in the autumn, scenic hiking trails leading to rushing waterfalls in the spring and summer and the East Coast’s longest sled run during the winter months. 

🌲 Perfectly positioned on the edge of the Monongahela National Forest, this small town serves as a gateway to recreation and is home to Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley Resort — two of West Virginia’s most iconic state parks.
