I've been coming here all my life. The Manor House has recently undergone a much needed face lift. It looks great. The craft center has sone beautiful pieces and the grounds are well kept. Dont come without your camera.

Can you bring your dog to this area

Patsy Wilson | Oct 16, 2019
Tom Bowers | Oct 16, 2019

Absolutely. It's a great spot for bringing dogs, and many people do. The gift shop and ranger info station adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway do not allow dogs inside, but the many trails are great for hiking or strolling with dogs, especially on the lower part around and near Bass Lake. I've never done the one mile hike around the lake without seeing someone with a dog.

Are the leaves changing in the mts.

Judy JACOBSON | Oct 16, 2019
Cheryl Clark | Oct 16, 2019

Are there trails wide enough for a pony cart? Are horses allowed on some of the trails?

Nancy Yesko | Nov 19, 2021
Bill Rand | Nov 19, 2021

The trails are definitely wide enough for a cart, they were originally designed for a carriage. I have definitely seen horses on the trails though I've never seen a cart.

There is a large hay field with hill that people sled near the Cone grave site. Park at manor house on blue ridge parkway, walk through tunnel under parkway then up trail to right. Walk bu is about a mile. There is sled area at base of Beech Mountain ski area.

Be careful ogff donations to rennovation. They have promised painting rennovations for well over a year and they haven't even started scraping. They're is so much peeling paint that they will be lucky if the whole thing doesn't rot this year. It is shameful
