Whether you are looking for a quiet place to relax and get away from the routine of daily life or you seek a special place to recharge and reconnect with loved ones, a visit to the Pill Box offers you the ideal escape. During the summer months we are a thriving girls’ camp where this serves as the healthcare facility; the rest of the year we are the ideal getaway with a host of recreational offerings and gracious accommodations. The Pill Box is an utilitarian building.

The space
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to relax and get away from the routine of daily life or you seek a special place to recharge and reconnect with loved ones, a visit to the Pill Box, located on the pristine waters of the Cowpasture River, offers the ideal escape.

The Pill Box has three bedrooms with two twin beds and one bedroom with a queen bed. There is a covered porch and is climate controlled. There is high- speed internet access. (Sleeps 8)

The Pill Box serves as the camp's healthcare facility during the summer months and so this accommodation does not include a kitchen. Included is a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven/air fryer combo, and a double plate countertop electric burner. There are many restaurants you can visit or order take-out from. There is no "dining area" or "living area" however there is a large desk with some folding chairs which the guests may use. There is no TV located in the Pill Box. Please see the photos included in the listing.

If you have a larger group, please contact us about additional housing.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the scenic Cowpasture River frontage - great for swimming, canoeing or tubing. Guests may also enjoy hiking, basketball, tennis and volleyball. (The net on the tennis court has been taken down to store for the winter months)

If you plan on taking a canoe out on the river, we ask that you wear a PFD at all times and to canoe upstream and float back down and to get out at our beach area (where you put in). There is nowhere to pull out as you go downstream as it leads to private property. Please place the canoe back on the rack when you are done. We do have PFD’s that will fit a teenager however, you may want to bring your own to make sure you have one that fits correctly for an adult or small child. The river is within a short walk. We ask people not to park in the grass or down at the river.

Other things to note
This is a tobacco free property. Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the grounds or inside buildings.

We have a great deal of respect for nature and do not allow fishing or hunting on the property and firearms are not allowed on the property at any time.

This is not a pet friendly home.

Bath County has a 10:00pm noise ordinance. Please be respectful of our neighbors and other families staying in the rentals close by.

The posted speed limit on the campgrounds is 10 m.p.h.

Verizon works well. AT&T is spotty. We do have Wifi you can connect to.
