The Springhouse is about 15 minutes from West Jefferson and 45 minutes from Boone.
Area ski resorts and amusements like Tweestie Rail Road are about an hour to 90 minutes drive. Remember that mountain miles can take a bit longer due to curvy roads. If you experience motion sickness you may need to take extra precautions.
Opening dates and times vary greatly depending on the season so please check for up to date details to ensure accuracy.
During the winter months a vehicle with all-wheel or four-wheel drive are recommended to easily access the gravel driveway at the Springhouse.
