Little
Dipper Hideaway , B&B and Campground Lots of Cyclists know already of the Campground and find it's location not quite right for the distance from Rock Creek. With the B&B however, we think that we are filling a need for quality accommodation and are the perfect distance from Midway, where a lot of cyclists start out. If I forgot to mention it before, we will serve dinner upon request. Also, we are excited to announce, that we'll be installing a hot tub later this spring. What could be better, than to relax your trail weary bones in the hot water of an outdoor hot tub. |
