There are reasons we return to the Fort Lewis Lodge near Millsboro,VA. Practically speaking the location is seemingly remote when you are there, yet it is surrounded by some outstanding riding. The setting is a beautiful valley, green rolling pastures, the Horsepasture River nearby, mountains on the horizons. The lodge, it’s cabins, and outbuildings blend with the surroundings. It is quiet, relaxing, accommodating and luxurious  

The Mill House

Your stay includes dinner and breakfast  The little bar opens an hour or so before dinner is served. The wine selections are good .

Meals are buffet style with a variety of foods some raised at the Lodge’s farm. Yermo has some pretty specific dietary needs and they go out of bounds to insure he is catered to and well fed.

The Fort Lewis Lodge is a great start to our mapping trip. We’ll see if any other places we visit can match the quality. Now for a good sleep. Tomorrow we get to work.
