Our new 2100 sq ft. event center can be reserved for weddings, reunions, & parties. There's also a wedding arbor by the pond. It's out in the country, but worth the beautiful drive.

Take a swim or fish at nearby Lake Apalachia.

What a great Hidden Gem nestled into the mountain! The prices of this place where great for a large family budget stay. We stay at the Loft cabin and it was perfect for 2 teens, 7 littles and three adults. Really enjoyed teaching the young ones about batminton. We did all the things Paint ball, gem mining, wagon rides, golf, mini cars. The extras that this place has to offer are great. Our cabin was an animal friendly cabin and I was so surprised to see it as clean as it was. I couldn't even tell that a dog or cat has been there prior to! It was also super quiet and very family-friendly! They are very friendly and courteous and make sure that you have everything you need, great customer service.

The range was better than I expected, signed in several rifles and a handgun. Just bring your targets, staple gun ear protection and ammo. They have posted rules to follow. If you enjoy shooting, you will enjoy the range.
