With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Beckley, 30 miles away, has to offer. Friendly Chapel Church, Tamarack Conference Center and Raleigh County Courthouse alone make the drive out worth it. Wytheville is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and home to a range of fascinating things to see and do. Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre, Galewinds Amusement Park and Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum are only the start.
