Old Rag Mountain backs against our property and can be ascended either from the National Park entrance and parking lot or via bushwhacking from the West edge of The Lodges property. (see Area Activities/Hiking tab for more detail)

The nearest winery is Ducard Vineyards at just 4 miles. The second closest winery is Sharp Rock Winery at 4.1 miles. (see Home/Local Favorites tab for more detail)

The Little Country Store is located just 2 miles from The Lodges at Etlan. It has basic items like cheese, ice cream, limited can goods, sandwiches, beer, soda and chips. For more substantial items you must travel to the Food Lion which is 12 miles South in the city of Madison. Most guests bring their food when they arrive.

Local phone calls are free, but it will be necessary to bring along a calling card if long distance calls are necessary.

Cell phone coverage is very spotty and is highly dependent upon your carrier. AT&T seems to work sometimes, followed by Verizon. Sprint seems not to be currently functional.

Both lodges have satellite Internet service.

Due to the legal liability associated with firearms and with livestock and neighbors in proximity, we do not allow the use of firearms on the property.

We acknowledge that many pets are well behaved, but we have had several pet instances and our grandchildren are severely allergic. Therefore we do not allow pets.
