Our favorite dinner spot within walking distance. Everything on the island-inspired food and cocktail menu is delicious and the portions are generous! Try the Spliff Cake for dessert. Gets very crowded at dinner and during lunch rush - they will stop taking to-go orders when they get busy. We recommend going in the late afternoon (2-4pm).

麥斯帕奇
Max Patch RoadThe most beautiful sunset spot. Bring an extra warm layer even in summer, it’s windy!
A must-see spot for autumn foliage that’s a relaxed <1 hour drive on the parkway. Bring a swimsuit if you enjoy an ice cold waterfall dip! In late summer you’ll see people picking blueberries - it’s ok to eat a handful, but please don’t bring buckets to fill - the bears and other local fauna rely on this summer bounty to survive the mountain winter!
