Plan your visit with THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN around these favorite mountain activities. Most are ongoing, but there are a few that are perennial favorites.
Of course, not even these wonderful events can best lying on a hammock on the porch of your Cabin at Celo, photographing wildlife in one of the lean-to's on the manicured hiking trails, relaxing by the trout ponds, enjoying a cookout at one of the 4 pocket parks, sharing stories around the campfires or fire pits with family or friends, relaxing and unwinding by the largest waterfall within this sanctuary setting, camping out with your children or grandchildren in the reserved area for homeowners...
Our special summer visit package for 3 days/2 nights at an historic B&B for $99, and a dining certificate to the nationally acclaimed ten-table Knife and Fork will allow you time to choose your home site, home, or cabin while getting to know our hometowns and the salt-of-the-earth people who live here.
Remember your favorite summer camp?...a beloved small hometown?...a simpler, slower lifestyle and time?...Remember when summer was magical?...It still is...Come back home...The mountains are beckoning.
