Cheat Mountain Club
was built in 1887 by the Cheat Mountain Sportsman’s Association
as a private hunting and fishing preserve. Just before the
association’s
50- year lease ran out, the lodge was purchased by Western
Maryland Railroad. In 1964 the lodge was purchased by Mower
Lumber Company
to be used as a hunting lodge and private executive retreat.
The lodge remained private
until 1987 when four families with a common interest in the mountain
purchased the lodge and opened it to the general public.

In 2002 the lodge was transferred to seven families who continue
to keep the spirit of the Club alive by offering the same wonderful
West Virginia hospitality that has made CMC on of the most
unique mountain retreats available in
the mid-Atlantic, if not the country.”
