Lodge Rooms, Cabins, and Cottages

Try looking for lodging at The Inn at Canaan, Timberline Resort, or Black Bear Resort. We placed room blocks using “BMWRA” for inquiries. In early summer, limited rooms were available at all locations.

Also consider securing an Airbnb rental with Best of Canaan. They have been alerted that several hundred motorcycles will be coming to the area. They suggest you mention that while booking so that you don’t find yourself climbing a steep gravel drive to get to your accommodations.

Details and other ideas:

Inn at Canaan – 4.6 miles/8 minutes from the rally site. Use code BMW to get a reduced rate on select rooms and apartments.

Black Bear Resort – 8.6 miles/14 minutes from the rally site. The BMW RA has blocked off rooms and cabins for rally-goers.

Bright Morning Inn – 11.9 miles/17 minutes from the rally site. Hurry, this location books fast!

Blackwater Falls State Park Lodge – 13.9 miles/22 minutes from the rally site. Use code BMW to get a reduced room rate.

Best of Canaan – This is a helpful real estate company representing 100 rental properties in the area. When booking, they suggest you share you’re on a motorcycle, since some properties have gravel drives too treacherous for two wheels.

Airbnb – More options than we can count! This link will give you search results based on Canaan Valley availabilities during rally dates only, so be sure to change your parameters if your dates are flexible.

Tucker County Recommendations – There may be some overlap with previous recommendations, but it can’t hurt to explore lodging recommended on the official Blackwater Falls/Canaan Valley website.
