Welcome to the Central Shenandoah Valley! We are close to everything for which the Valley is famous! Try a walking tour of the old City of Harrisonburg or see the Grand Caverns-originally known as Weyers Cave. If you prefer active pursuits, try trail rides at Keezlenutten Farm, or bike the many beautiful rural roads past farms and fields around the largely Old Order Mennonite settlement of Dayton.

The early German settlers Anabaptist traditions of the simple “horse & buggy” life are still practiced today. Visit the Dayton Farmers Market for baked goods, handmade candy, crafts from local artists around the world, old time bulk candy and much more!

Spend time on the links at our outstanding public golf courses including picturesque Heritage Oaks Golf Course, award-winning Packsaddle Ridge Golf Course, and the sporty Lakeview Golf Course with its 36 holes. Try some of the best fly fishing in our mountain streams and ponds with local advice and guides from www.blueridgeangler.com or www.mossycreekflyfishing.com . And we just are minutes from the hikers’ paradise- the Skyline Drive.

If your interest is in history, you might consider visiting the American Civil War battle fields of Cross Keys or Port Republic. Or visit the Augusta Military Academy’s Museum.

Like shopping? The Shoppes at Mauzy provide primitives and antique reproductions and the Factory Antique Mall. You can find a treasure at James McHone Jewelers and at Rocky’s Gold & Silver & Antiques. Both specialize in estate jewelry and excellent prices! Purchase seconds and overruns from Mt. Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg and more at the home of LDA Creations, Silver Lake Mill, also located in Dayton, Va.
