“We had the most enjoyable lunch at Vito’s in Lovingston today!!! The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! Our server, Shelby was so awesome that we ask to speak to the owner, Sal to give her the great review she deserved. Longevity of staff speaks volumes for a business and most of the staff in Lovingston has worked at Vito’s for a very long time. We are looking forward to our next visit!!!”

“This place is the best kept secret around! Every time we go, we have a blast! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and it is so much fun! The food is incredible too! I just wish there were more places to stay nearby so we didn't have to always have a DD.”

“Great coffee! Bold smooth flavor! Super fast delivery!”

“Ermmmm any place playing Bob Marley with a line out the door deserves 5 stars. MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU MADE THIS SANDWICH 👌👌the two guys in there were fun too will definitely be coming back✨️✨️”

“The fried chicken is the best we've had, the sides are very good as well. We stop for lunch every time we pass through Lovingston. The counter service is quick and friendly, but this is a small space inside a convenience store with just a few seats inside and some wooden picnic tables outside.”

“I just moved out here and had this tonight for the first time and it was absolutely amazing Mexican food. I am a chef and recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food at a pretty good price as well”

“As a local who has been coming here for over 10 years, I can confidently say the food is amazing. The flavors are always rich and savory, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into every dish. While some people may see the owner as blunt, I’ve always experienced her as kind in her own way. The owner may be straightforward, but she works hard and provides great food every time. This place is a longtime staple in our community and deserves appreciation.”

“Stoney Creek Golf Course is a 27-hole Rees Jones-designed layout located about 15 minutes from the main resort. The layouts incorporate the native habitat and natural springs, and flow naturally with the lay of the land. Each course has generous landing areas, large, undulating greens, and a few forced carries. Unlike Devils Knob, Stoney Creek will have you hitting every club in your bag.

If you want to “ease in” to the golf course, start on Shamokin. Because of its location in the valley, Shamokin is relatively flat, which appeals to more golfers, yet it offers enough challenge to get a seasoned player’s attention. There are very few uphill, downhill, or sidehill lies. The course winds through hardwood forests and alongside meandering streams, with each hole presenting a different view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The par-3, 7th hole is Shamokin’s signature hole. Although the scorecard puts the yardage at 180 from the White tees, the hole plays considerably shorter due to the dramatic 150-foot drop from tee to green. The tee shot is exhilarating with the Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop.

The Monocan nine is the shortest of the three nine-hole layouts at Stoney Creek. The holes wind through pristine wetlands, hardwood forests, and along meandering streams, often offering breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As you would expect from a course in the valley, most holes are relatively flat, with few elevation changes. But what the course lacks in elevation change, it makes up for in water hazards in the form of creeks and lakes/ponds. When you combine the peaceful Rockfish Valley with the sound of natural flowing water and woodland birds, you can forget about those bad shots.

The par-3, 5th hole is the layout’s signature hole. It’s dubbed the “Paw Print” green and gets its name from the four pot bunkers that surround the green and look like a paw print. It’s challenging, too. Playing 148 yards from the White tees, it’s all carry over Lake Monocan to the small green.

The Tuckahoe Nine is pure mountain golf. Water comes into play on four holes, and the hilly terrain comes into play on nearly every hole. The surrounding landscape alternates between gentle meadows and bold, wooded slopes. Dramatic elevation changes require that you pay attention to your footing and stance, especially on uneven lies. If that doesn’t get you, the undulating greens might. No putt is truly a “gimmee!” Jones’ signature mounding serves as a buffer, preventing balls from running too far afield, while simultaneously creating risk-reward opportunities for those willing to attack the pin.

It's important to get off to a good start at Tuckahoe, which may prove challenging as the 1st hole is a 429-yard, par 4. The hill on the left side tends to guide somewhat errant tee shots back towards the fairway, but if your drive drifts too far right, it’s in the lake. A good drive still left me a long iron into the raised, sloping green that is protected by bunkers on either side.

No matter how good or bad you played, take a step back and take in your surroundings. Breathe that fresh mountain air and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.”

“I’ve been twice and both times were better than any music festival I’ve been to. Very well organized and ran. The camping is phenomenal that time of year in that part of the country. They take it a step beyond with the amenities and cleanliness they provide. I’ve already purchased mine and my wife’s tickets and campsite for this year!!”
