Preferred Hotel Partner
West Jefferson Hotel
Oak Hill Academy is partnering with the West Jefferson Hotel as the preferred hotel of Oak Hill Academy, giving families, alumni, and friends of the school a polished downtown stay while visiting campus.
The hotel is a restored historic boutique property in downtown West Jefferson with 17 guest rooms, OH Restaurant & Bar, gathering spaces, and walkable access to shops, galleries, and mountain-town favorites.
When you stay at the West Jefferson Hotel through the Oak Hill partnership, a portion of your stay is donated directly back to Oak Hill Academy to support the school and OHA students.
Why It Fits Oak Hill
A Stronger Home Base for Campus Visits
The West Jefferson Hotel gives Oak Hill visitors a stay that feels intentional instead of generic. Families can spend the day on campus, then settle into a downtown environment with dining, walkable streets, and a more memorable mountain-weekend feel.
That makes it a natural fit for admissions travel, alumni weekends, donor visits, family weekends, and any Oak Hill trip that deserves something more polished than a standard roadside hotel.
Stay and Support
Your West Jefferson Hotel Stay Gives Back to Oak Hill
Through this preferred-hotel partnership, your West Jefferson Hotel stay does more than give your family a place to sleep. A portion of qualifying stays is donated directly back to Oak Hill Academy to support the school and OHA students.
That means choosing the West Jefferson Hotel can help the Academy while also giving your family a better overall visit experience.
