The Lafayette Inn
The Chesley Creek Cabins...
Have been coming to the mountains and staying at these cabins for about eight years. Yep, that's quite a few years.
Chuck and Stu own a few hundred acres on the mountain and have a terrific good-sized log cabin there. Fifteen years ago they built their first rental cabin. Since then, they've added three more. Basically, the mountain is fully? wooded just like a forest. Well, not sure what a forest is, exactly, but you know what I mean. Mountains covered with trees.
They hacked out enough trees to put in the cabins.
This is the first cabin I ever stayed in. I had always thought of cabins as crudely built where you have to bring your own sheets and stuff. Well, I'm sure you can see from the photos that this is surely not the case with their cabins.

The Little Shop on Main Street...
When we first visited The Little Shop on Main Street the three good-sized rooms were packed with antiques, photos, paintings, prints, and gifts of every discription all nicely displayed. A few months back the owner, a former real estate agent from Illinois, Lillian Baird, turned the back room into a lunch room. It seems the restaurant was so well received, that Ms. Baird, who has lived in Stanardsville for twelve years and owned The Little Shop for two years, converted another room. As I best understand it, they serve breakfast and lunch and on Sundays have a brunch.
