Fine dining for brunch and dinner. Iconic site built in 1931. If nothing else, plan to drive by the Mimslyn Inn to see where the wealthy and elite from the days of old danced and partied the night away.

Great sandwiches, drinks, and sides for your hiking picnic. Call ahead for faster pickup service or dine outside in the beer garden at one of their picnic tables. Sometimes they have live music. Beer & wine served. Our favorite sandwich is the salmon BLT but you have to ask for it, as it’s not always on the menu.

Perfectly cooked local steaks. Seafood is good, too. They do not serve top shelf drinks, FYI. You will get a great meal here for a very reasonable price.

Our favorite nearby winery. About 30 minutes from our cabins, just over the mountain. Enjoy the Chardonnay Reserve amongst the chickens, horses, and dogs. The owners are lovely. Old Rag hiking trail is just a few minutes away (but we recommend the hike first, then the wine tasting).

Gorgeous views and an interesting collection of wines. The owners are from Lebanon and have brought Lebanese flair to the county. They even sell olive oil from the family's olive trees back home. Take a walk on their trail and say hello to the sheep and rolling creek.

Home grown at its best. Their 100 proof bourbon whiskey will melt your buds and put hair on your chest. Drink it! It's good for you. For the daisies, stick to the sweet potato wine.

Hand crafted drinks with fresh ingredients using their rum and whiskey recipes. Great vibe. Food truck. If you’re lucky, you’ll meet Kaia, the owner’s German Shepherd. Kids welcome.
