Bath County, Virginia and the rugged Allegheny Mountains — where back roads lead, life unfolds, and nature opens wide.
Find unique dining and serenity-laden sleep in just about every corner of Bath County. From continental cuisine in a restored gristmill in Warm Springs to a quick lunch al fresco along Hot Springs’ Main Street, dining options are wonderfully varied. For a sweet night’s rest, you can turn in at an isolated cabin in the woods, a Victorian bed and breakfast, first class hotel, or rustic Alleghany mountain lodge. |

idden quietly in the serene Allegheny Mountains of Virginia, Bath County is a seclusion lover’s paradise. With 89% of its landscape still covered in mountain forest, Bath is a place where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, with family, with yourself, and take a gentle journey on the back roads of the mountains and the back roads of time. Here the George Washington National Forest, Douthat State Park, and Warm Springs Mountain Preserve offer hundreds of thousands of acres of stunning Allegheny Mountain vistas, waterfalls, streams, and quiet woods.
High culture meets the mountains in Bath. At Garth Newel Music Center, settle in for an evening of fine music by the resident chamber quartet, or explore dozens of art, antique and craft galleries from the fine art and military collections of the William M. Grover Galleries in Hot Springs and Bacova to the Appalachian crafts of Sugar Hollow Creations in Millboro. Bath offers art and collectibles of all kinds.
Long before European Americans came to these mountains, Native Americans considered the region now known as Bath as a sacred space.
