East Dailey, WV

East Dailey is a quiet mountain hamlet nestled along the Tygart Valley River in Randolph County, with the Monongahela National Forest right in its backyard. Home to fewer than 500 people, it offers a peaceful rural setting where river views and wooded hills are part of daily life. Most homes sit along scenic backroads just off Route 219, keeping residents within an easy ten-minute drive of nearby Elkins for shopping, healthcare, and dining.

The community also has a unique spot on the map thanks to the annual Old Timers Reunion, a legendary Labor Day gathering that draws cave explorers and musicians from across the country to the local campground. For the rest of the year, East Dailey returns to a slow, friendly rhythm where neighbors enjoy fishing the river, hiking nearby trails, and taking in the quiet beauty of the West Virginia highlands.
