ACE Living A Healthy Remedy

My name is Margie and I have epilepsy. It sounds like a dirty little secret when so simply put, which is how I have felt about my seizures for most of my life.

I don't like divulging this one major health problem of mine even to close friends. I can't take the sympathetic looks and cooing reassurances from people who don't know what it's like to wake up in an ambulance with EMTs shouting rapid-fire questions.

Another (Very Affordable) Lodging Option At ACE

The New Cedar Cabins have arrived.
 
Cabins? When you hear cabin at ACE, you generally think deluxe - hot tubs, bathrooms with hot showers and all the fixin’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love to stay
 in luxury too, and the “deluxe” accommodations at ACE exceed my standards.

But for just a night or two during a whirlwind two days at ACE, sometimes
 all you need is a place to keep your hot dogs cold and lay your head at
 night.

Waldo Wants You To Vacation In His Retirement Home

Waldo, here. Yup, it’s true, ACE and the stables are my retirement home. See, the New River Gorge is the Grand Canyon of the East, but I got my “professional” start in the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

I kid you not. See, mules as trail and pack animals have a long history in the Grand Canyon National Park. For more than 100 years, we have been the best way for thousands of park visitors to venture into the canyon and visit Phantom Ranch, one of the main tourist destinations.

ACE Is Where The Rubber Meets The Hot Tub

Most of us have only been on the guest side of renting a cabin. You show up and everything is there, ready to go. But who's behind the scenes making sure that your unit is in tip-top shape? After all, folks move in and out every week and sometimes every day.  Needless to say, it takes its toll on furnishings and amenities.

Well, a few folks at ACE have been toiling over one particular reoccurring cabin issue - hot tub covers. Yes, they are a thorn in the side of many guests because they are heavy and hard to move while attempting to enjoy the hot tub. And for ACE staff, they just don't hold up to expectation and require lots of repairs. In the past four years, we've spent thousands of dollars replacing hot tub covers to try to keep them at least functional for our guests. Well, no more!

Take Your Sweetheart To ACE For Valentine's Day

Posted by: ScottP in zipline canopy tour, romance, reservations, New River Gorge, Canopy Tour, Cabins, ACE Adventure Resort on Feb 9, 2010

My Google Calendar is overloaded with things. Deadlines. Appointments.  The last thing I want to worry about is a made-up, fake holiday like Valentine's Day.

You will not see me going out and buying a Ground Hog's Day card.  To me, Ground Hog's Day is a movie, not an occasion. And Arbor Day.  Is it ironic to buy an Arbor Day card made of paper from a tree?  It totally challenges my newly discovered green attitude. We are killing trees to make cards made of trees for a fake holiday about trees. Confusing.

But I digress.  This is about February 14th, and how ACE has just what you need for this so-called holiday.

ACE Is A Winter Wonderland For West Virginia Vacations

I'm very fortunate to be allowed to live at ACE year round, and winter is one of my favorite times of the year.  Crowds of hungry birds, flying squirrels and other critters replace the many guests. When the snow flies, it is unbelievably quiet here.

If we get too much snow, the ACE crew clears the roads on property so everyone can get in and out, and the highway department does a fantastic job of keeping the road into ACE cleared.

And I, too, have my own hot tub — sitting in your own, private hot tub while the wind and snow are blowing all around you is a magical experience.

Rafting, Yes — But Camping?

Posted by: ScottP in fears, facilities, camping, Cabins, ACE Adventure Resort on Aug 31, 2009

When people speak of camping, I scoff.  It is truly a foreign language to me.  And I speak to gung-ho campers daily.  But it doesn't stick.

They love the outdoor cooking.  The tent sleeping.  The fresh morning air.  Say what?

I am trying to camp at the end of August and am really conflicted about it.  My friends, Katie and Phil, are bringing a group, and I feel the peer pressure to camp.  2 nights.  Outdoors.  Help.
