Make a reservation at Immersion Escape Rooms and transport yourself into another place and time. Connect the dots and follow the clues to save yourself and your party from certain doom!
- Winter Hikes – Charlottesville is located near some truly excellent hiking and natural scenery. Take a scenic drive to nearby Shenandoah National Park and be whisked away into a winter wonderland. Check out their guide to day hikes where you can narrow down the more than 500 miles of trails offered at the park. When you’re done, continue on Skyline Drive through the park for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and beautiful scenic overlooks. If you’d like to stay closer to the inn, we recommend a visit to the Ivy Nature Center, Mint Springs Valley Park, or the Saunders-Monticello Trail at Kemper Park (where you can view the famous Monticello).
