Potomac Local Interests and Guidebook

A great place for connecting with nature in an open and fresh air environment.

Amazing picturesque views of a local natural wonder. Take a walk to the Billy Goat Trail, view the magnificent waterfalls crashing down into the Potomac River, while viewing the opposite shore across the water, which is the state of Virginia. Herons, deer, frogs, turtles, owls are just some of the plentiful wildlife you will see.

Another great local restaurant, where you can go and enjoy the colorful conversation at the bar, watch a game, or just hide in one of their super comfy high backed booths and dine in privacy. The kitchen is very accommodating and will custom prepare to your liking.

What a jewel! The inside dining is very intimate, and boasts a roaring fireplace and charming quaint furnishings. Home away from home. The C and O tow path is across the street, and one could park and enjoy a brisk hike, then wander over to Angler's and enjoy one of their famous burgers or other fabulous cuisine. The outside dining terraces are nonparallel and when lit up at night, looks positively magical. Could be romance in the air...??

Another great suggestion, for pre-prepared meals, for those nights when you just want to dine in and watch a movie.
