Our group stopped by on a very busy Saturday afternoon, but were able to quickly get our beers and find a table outside. And while we were all a little nervous when we saw how many of the beers were IPAs (none of us are fans), we all were able to find something we liked. In fact, two of us are now huge Choco Blanco fans, and took a bunch home with us!

We are so glad we visited the gem mining at Lilypad Village. Karen and Jim made the visit really enjoyable, telling our grandchildren all about the gems they had washed from the bucketful of sand and rocks. We took a 2 year old, a 3 year old and a 6 year old and they were all enthralled by the experience. As it was raining, we were delighted that it was under cover.
4. Long Creek Falls

The drive in was the hardest part! The trailhead is 5+ miles down a narrow gravel road with many hazards. Once we got to the trail it was an easy and scenic hike ending with a beautiful waterfall where the kids played in the creek. It’s 2 miles out and back and was no problem for us and our five and seven year olds. There’s a little incline on the way in but nothing strenuous.

Experience the Blue Ridge Mountains by horseback with Adventure Trail Rides! Choose from the Valley Trail, a great beginner's ride that's easier on the bum! Or, take a Fairy Cross ride, where you'll dismount and hunt for legendary Fairy Crosses. Other favorites are the Picnic ride by the creek, the evening Sunset ride or specially arranged Romantic and Proposal rides. The experienced guides will match horses to personalities, so you may be paired up with Diesel, Cupid, or Teaspoon! Back at the barnyard you can feed the chickens and relax in a rocking chair.

We really enjoyed this short hike with our dog, especially being able to soak our paws in the cool river! The dirt road to the parking area is very ROUGH, lots of holes to dodge & tight turns. We made it in our minivan, but it was not easy.
