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 />
