Hello all
I’m starting to plan for the fall and I’ve had several groups request dates for retreats and small groups of 10 or less
Let me know if you would like to get away for a weekend and spend some time in The Blue Ridge
The Fall is by far my favorite!!

This is Crabtree Falls which is the tallest Falls East of the Mississippi. Its a challenging hike but the vies are spectacular. If you make it to the top, you can connect to the trail that takes you to "The Priest" which is one of the most well known views in Virginia.

This is a picture of the back of the house and its highlighted so you can see our fire pit. It's old school so you need to bring your folding chair. It's an awesome place to have a meeting, tell tall tales and figure out who knows the most about astronomy.

This is a Picture on the top of Spy Rock. It's a 1 hour, easy hike, beginning at the fish hatchery and winding up the mountain to this awesome 360 degree view. We normally pack a lunch and sometimes bring music. It is common to visit with other hikers and their pets. We have never been up at night but its on the list.
