Approximately 45-60 minute drive. Do an early morning hike to the Falls. The hike is fairly easy, although there are lot of steps. The Falls are beautiful. There are multiple other trails too (look at All Trails App). Visit the town of Davis afterwards for a meal. Quaint “old west charm” that is revitalizing with restaurants, breweries, an ice cream shop, and boutiques. North of Davis is the town of Thomas. Cute little riverfront town with little boutiques and shops. We ate lunch there recently at the "Farm Up Table" restaurant. Food was delicious. On the way, you will pass Mountain State Brewing Co. We have not been there, but locals seem to like it. Cute little river front t. Just north of Thomas is the Fairfax Stone, a surveyor's marker and boundary stone at the source of the North Branch of the Potomac River. The original stone was placed on October 23, 1746 to settle a boundary dispute between Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron and the English Privy Council concerning the Northern Neck of Virginia.

Seneca Rocks is one of the most unique and intriguing rock formations in the area. The vertical rock face is a favorite for experienced climbers. (1 hour drive) The store across the street is a local favorite.

Smoke Hole Cavern is located near the Smoke Hole Canyon from which the cave takes its name. It is located on WV 28 just west of Petersburg (45 min drive). Local lore has it that the cave was utilized during Prohibition by moonshiners. There is only one entrance into the caverns which made it secure and with an ever present supply of fresh water it was a perfect place to produce moonshine. Great stop on the way to the Greenbank Telescope. VERY large retail store and food is available.

Located 1 1/4 mile from Creekside, on South Fork Rd heading towards Moorefield, is Stump Run Farm. Stump Run Farm is like a trip back in time to simpler days. The property, cabin, and museum are a must see for anyone wondering what life was like in the untamed frontier of the mid 1700’s. Stump Run Cabin is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The owners are friends of ours and are very knowledgeable of the history of the property, including a land survey by George Washington. They are willing to share their stories and allow a visit to their property, as long as they are available. Please let us know ahead of time if this is something that interests you.

Built in 1847, when West Virginia was the western part of Virginia, the hotel was known as the Moorefield Hotel Company and the stockholders included Charles Carter Lee, eldest brother of Robert E. Lee. After the Civil War, it was operated by Captain C. B. Mullin, who made it into a renowned hostelry famous for its food. During Captain Mullin's tenure in the 1860' and 70's, known as the Golden Days of Moorefield, old hotel registers indicate that many men of note and distinction were guests. The building carried the name "The Mullin Hotel" for over 80 years. The restaurant is on the lowest level with brick walls and beamed ceilings. The food is decent and it's worth the trip to experience the atmosphere. There is almost nightly entertainment: from blue grass to karaoke. The hotel is also home to the Hardy County Historical Society Museum. 104 South Main St, Moorefield, WV, 20 mins drive.

Newly renovated Inn and restaurant in neighboring town of Petersburg. We went there twice the first week they reopened and both times the food and drinks were delicious. Outside covered patio and fire pit area is spacious. Beer selection great. 203 Virginia Ave, Petersburg, West Virginia 26847, about 30 min drive from Creekside. Less miles if you drive over the mountain (left out of driveway) but first 10 miles of road are 1 lane and curvy. More miles, but quicker through Moorefield.
