Located in the central Blue Ridge mountains and foothills, the area is known for its mild climate due to the "Thermal Belt." Warm air settles and moderates the year-round temperatures, cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This phenomenon allows for outdoor activities and events to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
Local attractions include numerous equestrian pursuits including steeplechase, dressage, hunter jumper, and carriage driving events. Enjoy fishing, hiking and canoeing in the ten thousand acres of the Green River Game Lands. Drive the Pacolet River Scenic Byway or sip wine at one of our local wineries. Discover wild flowers at Pearson's Falls, widely considered one of the state's most beautiful waterfalls, or hunt for treasures in marvelous craft and antique stores dotted throughout the small towns and scenic roads.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Lady Astor, Sidney Lanier and David Niven were regular guests between World War I and II.
