p#) Lewis Mountain has several furnished
cabins complete with private bathrooms for a hot
shower. The complex also has a campground with
a store, a laundry and showers. This is the most
rustic accommodation option in the area short of
camping. Bear in mind many cabins are attached,
although we’ve never heard our neighbors here.

Founded in 1888, this beautiful resort has
fantastic views over the countryside, which is
unsurprising as it occupies one of the highest
points within Shenandoah National Park
(the elevation of the hotel is around 3680ft).
You’ll find simple, wood-finished rooms and a
full-service dining room, and you can arrange
horseback rides from here.

If you need a bit of caffeine or an internet
break, Gathering Grounds is the spot to stop
by in Luray. The coffee is served strong and
the pastries are all tasty, but what really sets
this place apart is the interior, a refreshingly
innovative, airy space that combines warm
artsy-hippie cafe chic with modern hip.5 West Main Market Deli^ $

pvc) Exploring Skyline Drive lends itself
to picnic lunches, and there are few better
places to pick up said lunch then the salad and
sandwich counter at West Main. The grilled
turkey and avocado is wonderful, while the fresh
garden salad kept us rolling all the way down

paddleboats all await inside this fanciful
campus. Bargain-basement campsite and
cabin prices don’t reflect the possibility you
might strike it rich while panning for gold at Old
Faceful Mining Company. For those interested
in passing by and peeking in, there are a few
oversized figures of Yogi and Boo Boo that are
ready-made photo ops.VIRGINIA.TRIPS.21
