Sightseeing

The most marvelous place! A stroll down the trail will take you back and forth across the creek as it rambles over rocks. You will find a formal garden in the English style, collections of conifers and holly, a native wetland trail, a fruit and vegetable garden, and a desert garden hidden behind the stone wall. If you are a master gardener or know nothing about plants, you will enjoy your time here! It is free and open to the public daily.

Our area is known for its amazing pottery. In fact, if you drive along Pottery Road you can visit pottery after pottery each with its unique style. If you are lucky you might even catch a potter at work on his or her spinning wheel. This is a fun trip and a great way to spend an afternoon.

Wonderful walking trails. The Sandhills is home to the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker. Ask in the welcome center if they can to point you toward marked trees that house this rare bird..

Southern Pines - Quaint Downtown

My completely unbiased opinion is that this is the best downtown in America! Down town is 7 scenic miles from us. At the end of Lakebay Rd. make sure you turn left on Youngs Rd to see the miles of horse farms. You won't be disappointed in the beautiful drive on the way to town!

Aberdeen/Southern Pines Shopping Strip

The main shopping strip for our area is 10 miles south on the edge of Southern Pines and Aberdeen. If you travel south on US 1 and then right on Hwy 15-501, you will find big chain stores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants and popular restaurants.
We usually try to get here on weekdays. Good food, big portions, reasonably priced. I think it is a hopping bar scene on weekends...

Located on the pinehurst harness track this restaurant is full of history. It is small and friendly with lots of local southern flare. It is a popular after Church stop. Remember you are at a horse track.. the mix of dressed and casual is part of its charm.
