Hole in the wall place to eat. Almost scared to eat here because of the lack of housekeeping. It does have some of the best hamburgers around and the sweet tea is awesome! Not a ton of seating if you have a large group.

Golf
Bring your clubs and play 18 holes. I mean you are staying on the 13th hole so why not! If nothing else go to the clubhouse. The clubhouse view of the mountains puts mine to shame. Drive to the top of the hill in the back of the clubhouse and park there, then get out and take a look. They do have a restaurant inside open 7 days a week.
