ON THE RIVER AND IN THE FOREST
The Shavers Fork is a stocked trout stream, and fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and tubing start right out front (bring your own gear). Stuart Recreation Area is just 1.6 miles away, and Stuart Memorial Drive over Bickle's Knob leads to fire-tower views, hiking trails, and quiet cross-country skiing in winter.

GOOD TO KNOW
- Check-in after 4 PM, check-out before 11 AM
- Bed linens are provided and beds are made when you arrive. Please bring towels for the bath, kitchen, and hot tub, or add them for a fee.
- Internet must be requested when you book, because it's arranged ahead, and there is a usage fee. It isn't suited to gaming or large downloads.
- Summer cooling comes from fans and window A/C; the mountain air and river keep nights cool.
- Winter roads can be snow covered, so 4-wheel drive is best.
- No campfires, since floating embers are a danger under the trees.
