A quieter town but there are things to seek out, and the chip stand is excellent! Go there via the tiny village of FallBrook, if you like a meandering drive, stop in Lanark for some fresh roadside chips, eat at the park-in river bank nearby, then come back home Balderson to grab ice cream and home-made cheese at the old Balderson Cheese Factory. While there, check out the beautiful Amish Furniture shop! This is a regular 'local' thing to do on a Summer afternoon when we need a break from the heat. :-)

Sightseeing
Our guests really enjoy the trails here, especially Eagle's Nest Hike. The view at the top of the mountain is awesome! It's about an hour drive from us. You go through Lanark so grab some fresh roadside french fries on your way!

Food scene
Such great, homemade food, made simply and always served with a smile. The place where locals like to go. Breakfast, lunch, supper or snack-time! Take-out window or dine in. They bake all their deserts, and sell pies and cakes uncut so take home a treat for the family! If it's "Newfoundland Jiggs Dinner" night, you're in for a special treat!
