The club is now privately owned and operated as The Mountain Lake Club. The Lodge (formerly the Clubhouse) was destroyed by a tragic fire on June 19, 2003. The investigation into the cause of the conflagration has stalled, likely for good. The owners lack of adequate insurance (30k on a structure valued at 1.5M) virtually guarantees the club house will never be re-built. In fact, the area is now considered Historic Ruins and is marketed as a space for parties, weddings, or other events. The Lake House was subsequently renovated and now provides the residents and the public a means of accessing the lake for fishing, swimming, etc. The surrounding community now consists of more than 1200 homes, most of which are inhabited on a full-time basis. The over of roads present are now maintained by the State of West Virginia.
