Buena Vista
(1 Stop & Side Trip!)
Sometimes the best travel
companion is furry, four-legged,
and happily wags his tail. Perky
ears and smiling snoots will love a
visit to Lexington, Buena Vista, and
Rockbridge County where there are
more than 75 pet-friendly places to
enjoy, including 40 places to stay.
Bed and breakfasts like Fox Hill Bed
& Breakfast Suites and Hummingbird
Inn offer enticing pet amenities
while cabin stays such as Amanda's
Cabin at Lazy Acres and Pond View
Cabin at Steeles Tavern Manor make
for comfortable, at-home relaxation.
National brand accommodations
and area campgrounds also
welcome your dog.
Enjoy a local beverage with wide
open spaces for your pup. Coffee
lovers will find award-winning beans
and a special dog walking area at
Lexington Coffee Roasters. Walk
through the grapes or enjoy a wine
flight at Jump Mountain Vineyard
or Rockbridge Vineyard & Brewery,
which is known for live musical
entertainment on Sundays. The
views and the brews at Great Valley
Farm Brewery & Winery are topnotch
with room to bask in the sun
or toss a frisbee.
If frisbee and golf had a love
child, it would be disc golf, and the
new course at Glen Maury Park is
the place to tee off and give it a go.
The park is also a great place to
fly a kite, let your pooch cool off in
the Maury River, or walk along the
Riverwalk.
The iconic limestone arch and
20. Chessie Nature Trail-the sevenmile,
former C&O rail line-connects
Lexington and Buena Vista with a walk
or run.
Bonus Visits

and 1831.
* Roll onto or hike alongside the Blue
Ridge Parkway for spectacular
views along " America's Favorite

nine miles outside of town; take the
opportunity to step onto the storied
path that connects Georgia and
Maine.
8 LEXINGTON | BUENA VISTA | ROCKBRIDGE
namesake of Natural Bridge State
Park is a show-stopper, and a
natural wonder your leashed pet is
welcome to visit. Speaking of shows
and stopping, catch a film on the
big screen at Hull's Drive-In, a blast
from the past complete with an old
school speaker to hang from your
window.
Wandering is essential and
the paths at Tantivy Farm are
enticing. Amble along in search of
the waterfall, a lovely sight sure
to delight. Do stop and smell the
lavender.
