Feb 8-10: I spent two blissfully quiet nights at
Fairy Stone State Park, in Stuart VA (about 58 miles south of Roanoke). CCC-built log cabins spaced along one end of the lake. Miles of hiking trails, and a special spot at the far north end of the park to hunt for the tiny and elusive "Fairy Stones." The cabins look rustic, but they are comfy-cozy with heat, lights, hot water, and fully equipped little kitchens. I will definitely be back, and recommend this hidden gem to couples or families looking for an idyllic weekend getaway.

| No cell, no internet, no TV -- just the warmth of a crackling fire and a good book. |

| Wintertime, and the hiking is easy... |

| A sweet little waterfall -- created by fairies for sure! |
