I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a weekend at Singletree Gun & Plough and hope to repeat the experience soon! Not far up a humble gravel road in quaint Stokes County is this non-pretentious cabin and lodge retreat. Although the views of Moore’s Knob and the Blue Ridge Mountains from the main lodge’s front porch, where I spent many hours reading, laughing and enjoying a cold beverage with several new friends are substantial enough to allow for some boasting, the folks at Singletree are not sort the sort to put on airs. Johannah, the nature-enthusiast proprietor of the establishment, was kind enough to take a group of us on a morning hike down one of the many secluded and private trails along the property to the James River where we walked along the shoreline to greet some passing kayakers; Johannah stopping along the way to tell us about the wildlife, different plants and trees. If you are someone like myself who enjoys being outdoors, on the river or just not surrounded by crowds and concrete go see Johannah and Bill at Singletree!
