$3.8M Grand Vue Park New Cabin Construction Begins

MOUNDSVILLE — Four new cabins are coming to Grand Vue Park in Moundsville.
General Manager Craig White said Monday that the $3.8 million project will be conducted by Colaianni Construction of Dillonvale.
White said the new elevated cabins will be similar to the existing tree-top cabins, while the two other cabins will be ground-level.
“All four will be two-bedroom cabins,” he said. “”All will be state-of-the art with hot tubs on every deck. All will have the comforts of home; you won’t be roughing it.”
White noted Colaianni Construction will begin mobilizing to start work around May 4. The cabins are slated to be complete by the spring of 2027. Colaianni is the same company that built the treetop cabins 10 years ago.
Two of the new cabins will be located near the park’s traditional cabins and two others near the treetop cabins. In addition to hot tubs, all four cabins will have “beautiful views,” “high-end furnishings” and “upscale amenities,” White said.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held recently with several officials in attendance including White; Marshall County Administrator Betsy Frohnapfel; Wayne Hardy, Marshall County Park and Recreation Board member; Commissioner John Gruzinskas; Commission President Scott Varner; and Woody Yoder, Marshall County Park and Recreation Board member.
The Marshall County Commission is providing $1.4 million toward the project. Commissioner David McLaughlin was not able to attend, but issued a statement on his social media about the project.
“The County Commission is wholeheartedly dedicated to not just supporting, but actively driving the current and future expansion of this amazing park. Exciting times lie ahead,” he said.
Betsy Frohnapfel, administrator for the Marshall County Commission, said the mission of the commission has always been to help Grand Vue Park become self-sustaining.
“The commission has been blessed to be able to provide full or partial funding for many revenue producing amenities, including these four new cabins,” she said.
The park’s offerings include a swimming pool/aquatic center, RV camping, tent camping, picnic shelters, cabins, playground, miniature golf and aerial attractions including ziplines.
White said the park opened its Treetop Villas 10 years ago and they have been busy every weekend since.
“It’s hard to get a weekend right now. That’s one reason why we wanted to increase the cabins at this size,” he said.
White also anticipates the park and its amenities will be even more popular with local vacationers if gas prices continue to rise. People wanting to take a one-tank trip that is an hour or two hours from home can visit Grand Vue for a “quick family getaway,” he said.
