Many of the resort’s new experiences are<br />

created to enhance the enjoyment of the natural<br />

environment. A prime example is Sunset<br />

at the Secret Place which begins with transportation<br />

to the top of Chalybeate Mountain<br />

for panoramic views of hills, meadows, and<br />

lakes. Then guests relax with wine and a delicious<br />

snack while watching the sunset from<br />

their top-of-the-world perch.<br />

Also new, a guided equestrian tour meanders<br />

along meadows and trails with picturesque<br />

views of the Appalachian foothills<br />

on the way to the top of Sulphur Mountain.<br />

Pursell Farms stables its own horses on the<br />

property now and offers a children’s petting<br />

zoo at the horse barn.<br />

An archery course with targets planted<br />

along trails, an axe throwing facility, and stargazing<br />

have been added to pickleball, paddleboats,<br />

walking and biking trails, yoga, bocce<br />

ball, pool, and sundecks. And many guests<br />

consider cooling off at the Spring House Spa<br />

an activity, too.<br />

A robust calendar encompasses dinner and<br />

a show with singer-songwriters, book signings<br />

and readings by authors, culinary programs,<br />

and the resort’s most popular art event,<br />

“Paint Your Pet” where guests take home a<br />

portrait of their beloved pet created that<br />

evening. Events are posted on Facebook at<br />
