''I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life... and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.'' - Henry David Thoreau. Well you can do a lot of living and test your skills in the great outdoors at this rustic mountain getaway. Great spot right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, near the National Forest, hiking trails and the Pedlar River Fishing Preserve. Lots of activities await, or just relax & enjoy the peace & quiet of nature. It's a quaint little getaway that has been the center of family gatherings, hunting expeditions & camping trips offering affordable fun and many memories. Take a cue from Thoreau and savor living simply or slip over the mountain occasionally for more refined ventures at Sweet Briar or Lynchburg.
