Restaurants and bars

Kitchens, not concepts

Breakfast runs early for people leaving early, and something is always open late.

Appalachian · $$$

Grimpanela

Trout, country ham, sorghum and beans, cooked with far more care than that list implies.

Tavern · $$

A fire, a long bar, forty Virginia beers and a pot roast that feeds two and a half people.

Breakfast · $

Open early for walkers. Biscuits, eggs, apple butter and packed lunches to order.

Cocktails · $$

A hundred and forty bourbons and ryes, a fire, and deep chairs facing the glass.

Private dining · $$$$

Twelve seats in the restored springhouse, one menu, booked by the room.

Practical

Every kitchen keeps an allergen matrix at the pass and every menu is available in large print. Tell whoever seats you and they will tell the kitchen.

Welcome everywhere except the gaming floor and the bars after 8 PM. There is a proper children's menu rather than three fried things.

Full vegetarian and vegan options at every venue, not a single substitution, and gluten-free bread made rather than bought in.

There is no dress code anywhere. We ask for smart dress in one room late in the evening and we ask it kindly.
