The outdoor pool is the social hub from Memorial Day through Labor Day, complete with a diving board, volleyball court, and the kind of afternoon that stretches longer than you planned. A basketball court sits just beyond, and pickup games are a regular fixture.
Inside, the lodge hosts dinners, dances, and private events in a space that can accommodate everything from birthday parties to retirement celebrations. The full bar keeps the conversation going after lodge meetings, and the kitchen crew has been known to put out a spread that draws members in from three counties over.
Community service runs year-round through meal delivery programs, scholarship fundraising, and local disaster relief efforts. Members get access to all of it, plus reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country, which means that RV trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway always has a friendly stop along the way.
