A warning about using GPS!

We do not recommend using your GPS for driving directions, as many roads are incorrectly marked in the navigation system and inputting our address will take you on a wild ride. Instead, we recommend using Google maps (address above). Many prefer to travel the Blue Ridge Parkway route only May through October since the road closes often in winter.
