The Shenandoah River is just down the hill. 1800-acre Sky Meadows State Park and a State Wildlife Management Area consisting of 4,000 acres, are nearby neighbors. Once a 1950's motor court motel and The Blue Ridge Restaurant, the restored main building could be a three bedroom residence or unusual vacation Air BnB.
