Do you have 'Nature Deficit Disorder?'

Definition: the desire to sit inside and be entertained by electronic devices instead of getting into the great outdoors.

If so, this is the place to start kickin the habit - hiking, biking, swimming, skiing, golfing, birding, hunting, paddling.  The Blue Ridge Parkway is right at your fingertips from The Claiborne House B&B.  See the Sweet Mountain Laurel Loop on The Blue Ridge.  Smart View Recreation Area from the B&B go route 40-West and head out past Ferrum College to reach The Blue Ridge Parkway. Peaks of Otter is another wonderful place for a leisure hike with beautiful views!

We would like you to relax, but as you can clearly see there is no shortage of things to do and see in our neck of the woods!
