For a small business that literally took an abandoned property and rebooted it, this place is cool…read more Looks like it would be a heck of a place to heat in the winter though. Very fun aesthetic. The lady at the bar was friendly. The owner was okay...for there only being two customer vehicles here and just the other two customers besides us it was kind of a cold welcome. Worth a stop though for some snacks and good mead! My wife and I spent the day hiking at the nearby Otter River, so this was a welcome stop. I bought a 16oz etched glass bottle of Mazer mead, and another of the "Master" flavor. As somebody who has made hundreds of gallons of my own mead, the flavors were really unique. Varying alcohol content too if you're looking for something heavier (or lighter). I wouldn't suggest buying more than one "growler", as they were just etched glass bottles. Having grown up raising honey bees, it's really cool to see a place like this where the mission is to endorse honey and happy times with the mead bees help make. If you want a Quentin Tarantino feel and you're in the area, check it out! I'd like to give 4/5 stars but for a small business like this I'll send a little love

Honestly, can't say enough good things about this quirky, curated spot on the shoulders of Sharp…read moreTop Mountain. John Graham is a thoughtful host who has carved out a unique place among roadside inns. The Ordinary calls to a time of self-catered stays, where the point was not to dazzle you with breakfast, but to provide you with a beautiful spot where personal touches abound in the rebuilt 1790s cabin to stop and enjoy the world around you. Your private deck view sweeps down into the valley below the Peaks of Otter, taking in John's butterfly garden and personal beehives. Oh, he also runs a meadery out of the inn--lucky weekend guests get to sample and take home his fantastic products (careful, though, at 17% ABV, they pack a sneaky punch). If you plan on spending time in the Blue Ridge, skip the chain hotels and find Graham's Ordinary. Your spirit will be glad you did.

I had no plan to rent a boat but the fleet looked well cared for (almost new) and I jumped. The crew was really nice and helpful. I took out a "Tritoon"with a 200hp Yamaha. The lake is huge and there is some amazing sightseeing. I found a cove, anchored, finished up some work and then went for a swim. My 2 hour rental flew by and when I arrived back at the dock, the crew was waiting to help dock and replace my used fuel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For a spur of the moment adventure it was amazing. I highly recommend Bridgewater Marine.

What a wonderful…read morediscovery tucked on the crest of a Blue Ridge mountain with spectacular views and serene surroundings. The Lodge was so comfortable and hosts, David and Ginger McDonald, were so friendly and accommodating. It was the perfect respite from a tiresome and anxiety filled week of packing for a move. I slept like a baby in a bed so comfy I wanted to take it home. Although it was rainy and the fog kept us from exploring outdoors the warm ambiance inside the lodge and time spent with family made this a sweet and memorable experience. The lodge has been there for quite a while but David and Ginger, the new owners, are determined to make it a haven for guests and a destination for the area. They went out of their way to welcome us...even offering to drive down the mountain thru heavy fog to pick up our dinner we ordered! Totally unexpected and certainly above and beyond the duty of a host! Loved it! Can't wait to find an excuse to visit again.

They have a small exhibit inside that highlights the dam's functionality, and there are also outdoor paths to walk that offer great views of the dam and lake.
