peaceful and serene setting. If you like there are a couple of oversize swings

Grassy Creek Cabooses is a great weekend getaway for your anniversary or
honeymoon. Or if you're looking for a romantic getaway you will find our
accomodations to be secluded & private. We are convenient (within 1.5 to 2
hours) to several NASCAR tracks if you are traveling for a race. Those tracks
are: Bristol Motor Speedway, Lowes Motor Speedway, and Martinsville
Speedway.
At night you can sit outside to see thousands of stars in the higher altitude,
ideal for star gazing / star watching. The altitude plus the darkness without
those bright vapor lights makes us an ideal location for folks that are into
astronomy. During the day you can walk around the 33+ acres and hike down
to Grassy Creek. There you can relax while listening to the rippling water in
the mountain laurel thickets.
Whether you're just stopping over while traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway or
as a home base for the many local activities you will find Grassy Creek
Cabooses to be a most enjoyable and memorable place to spend some time.

rates have remained unchanged since we opened in 2001 plus we have added
