If you’re driving along U.S. 219 in West Virginia, following the winding path of the Tygart River in southern Randolph County, you may notice the mammoth golden log building on the roadside in the small community of Mingo. Inside the beautiful lodge you'll find the owner Will Fanning eager to tell the story behind his family's creation. The inn was born out of tragedy, a late night fire in 1997 destroyed the original building that Fanning and his visiting father from Ireland were sleeping in. Tragically, Will's father perished, but Fanning with the help from his 2 sons built the existing sructure out of love and honor of Wills father. Offering 20 tastefully decorated guestrooms and a full service pub, The Brazenhead has become a destination for travelers visiting Snowshoe Resort and offers many nights of live music as well.
