Not recently, in 2000. Chateaux rooms are stunning. Food okay but sort of overpriced. The spa was still under construction so I didn't get to do that. I found the service sort of clueless. Still, the best around - except for the Greenbrier a few hours south.

What info are you looking for? This is an expensive resort and there is nothing else of similar quality nearby. Chateaux rooms are very spacious. Nice variety of activities. Spa can be top notch, depending on who you get, sorry I don't remember any names to ask for.Go see Falling Water, the Frank Lloyd Wright home that is near by.

Speedy,
I live about 15 minutes from the Resort. It is nestled in the Laurel Highlands, and I guess the term to describe the area would be rural. Couple of things you can do--As someone else mentioned, a few historic/notable places to visit: Fort Necessity, Fallingwater (as mentioned), and for a beautiful retreat, a 10-15 minute drive from Nemacolin is Ohiopyle Falls State Park, a great place to view rumbling falls, picnic, whitewater raft, bike/walk on the Yough River Trail (which extends from this area to near Pittsburgh and upon completion, D.C.), and hike. Another 6-8 minutes short trip heading West on Route 40, you will see Mt. Summit Inn and about 1/4 mile west where the Inn is located (atop Mt. Summit) is a grand view and lookout area where you can see from atop the Summit for miles. There are a few quaint country shoppes along Route 40 near Nemacolin as well. Nemacolin itself will offer much in the way of recreation with just about every available thing to do--bowling, swimming, the spa/fitness center, golf, crochet, riding, tennis, indoor shopping venue, etc. It is both a lavish and pricey destination.
