Overall Score5.0/ 5
Peaceful, relaxing, nature filled, great hiking, good food!Been here three times over many years, always nice. One stay was in a cottage, twice at the lodge. Have hiked Old Rag and White Oak Canyon and Old Blue Ridge Turnpike. Have really enjoyed the breakfasts, dinners and sandwiches. We live by the beach and really enjoy escaping to the mountains.
