	Your Truly Restful Getaway

What are Your Plans for the Summer?

by Stan Horst

Summertime can be a relaxing time, but for many of us, we fill it up with various trips and activities, all of which may be enjoyable. By the time school rolls around again, we're saying "Where did the summer go?" I know we've got a lot planned, from sports activities of our children, to a couple of camping trips, to a wedding, to mission trips for our kids. All kinds of things. You can bet that in between these activities, we'll be taking time to just relax and enjoy being together as a family.

What about you? If you're not sure what to do this summer, a trip to Cabin Creekwood can solve all of your family's ideas of a fun vacation. You can choose from history, theater, scenery, wineries, antiques, shopping, golf, hiking, horseback riding, and so much more.

There's so much to see and do around here that I haven't even done it all, even though I've lived here since 1995. Check out these recent articles from our website highlighting various activities that you can do.

Enjoy!

Blackfriars Playhouse, a Personal Review

I recently attended a production at the Blackfriars Playhouse as a chaperone for my son's 9th grade English class. We saw the performance of "Romeo and Juliett," and I must say I was completely amazed at the quality of this theater and show in the little town of Staunton!

The theater itself is the world's only reproduction of Shakespeare's original indoor theater. Read more...

Humpback Rocks, a True Blue Ridge Experience

Located near the upper end of the Blue Ridge Parkway, just south of Route I-64, the Humpback Rocks Recreation Area offers an excellent day's adventure for casual visitors or for hikers of all proficiency levels. The attraction for which the area is named is the massive and spectacular greenstone outcrop, or hump, located on the western side of Humpback Mountain near the summit. Read more...

Comments from our Guests

This was the first time me and my family have been here, and believe me, we dont' want to leave. Me and my mom love the woods and adore where we are at.

Our time spent here was fun and exciting. The local dog, Toby Jax, paid us a visit. He's such a good, well-mannered dog.

We hiked up a Blue Ridge Mountain, and swam in a lake. What we didn't expect was a storm. I'm glad it happened, though. That night we stayed up late playing games and cards. "Worst Case Scenario" is now one of our favorite games.

I'm sure we'll be back. Mountainwood cabin feels like home. Listening to Hank Williams Jr. and sitting by the bonfire was great fun. Thanks!

- The Galindo Family, Baltimore, MD

This is the first trip to Cabin Creekwood, but will surely not be our last.

We were both so impressed with how clean and even decorated everything is. So much quiet and peacefulness! This surpasses the beach vacations by far!

We'll tell all our family and friends how perfect this place is.
