Take the unwinding road around the mountainside, where you’ll feel like you’ve entered another place and time as the 19th-century Western town appears out of the breathtaking Blue Ridge mountain range, created millions of years ago.

A passion for the Old West, Western movies and live music—especially classic rock—inspired this 19th-century Western town replica, complete with a sheriff’s office, post office, bathhouse, blacksmith shop, stables, dress shop, cantina, general store and, yep, even an undertaker. At the heart of this 20-acre town, enter the Saloon.

Not just any saloon, an 1860s-style saloon with authentic Western artifacts (even the barstools are saddles).

With its Western ambiance, state-of-the-art technology and comfortable seating at period-style round poker tables (limited to 125 persons), this Saloon provides an exclusive hangout with the artists and for the musical experience of a lifetime. 

Adjacent to the Old West Town, a wave in the hillside creates a natural amphitheater where relaxed and rejuvenated musical artists from many different genres are inspired to play their best for guests taking in the stars, up close and personal and billions of miles away.
