The original stables (above) were lost in a fire and replaced with 'the old stables' (below) in the early 1900s. These stables were critical to the hotel operations when transportation depended on horses. The building stored carriages and horses that were used to transport guests and was known as 'The Livery" for equestrian and then motor service during the era of train transportation. The hotel also provided equestrian activities such as fox hunting, trail riding, dressage and jumping.
In 2012 Bath County declared it a 'nuisance structure' because it was unsafe to occupy. It was decided to demolish the structure to make way for future development on the site.
