What's cookin' at Small Axe Farms? Hiker-hunger portions of homecooked goodness, of course! We're the perfect place for those in need of a good rest, a tranquil setting, and a family-style dinner.

We have two private rooms with double beds and plenty of "barn space" accommodations available for your night off the Appalachian Trail or Blue Ridge Hills and Hollows bikepacking route. Our Airbnb apartment (complete with a private bathroom and mini kitchen) is now open, too, for those wanting a luxury upgrade (book through Airbnb link unless same-day reservation)! We also offer dinner and breakfast for overnight guests at all the accommodations levels.

Message us for rates or check FarOut/AWOL guides. Call ahead for a reservation (required); must reserve before 3pm for dinner (earlier is better). Vegetarians and Vegans welcome. We can also accommodate dairy, gluten, egg, allergies, etc.
