Weβve heard a few ghost stories about the Knoll, and weβve even had a few first hand experiences. Shockingly, we managed to capture all paranormal activity on camera (pictured). Happy Halloween! ππ»

Today we took the long way home β because how could you rush past those Blue Ridge views? πβ¨ We pulled over to breathe in that crisp mountain air, crunch some leaves, and chase every golden color of fall. Cozy cabins, bold reds (the wine and the leaves π), and vineyard vibes are calling our name. October is Virginia Wine Month, and weβre ready to sip, swirl, and soak it all in! π·ποΈπ₯

Dark Skies Nelson Alert β¨π«β¨π«β¨
The Orionid Meteor Shower is reaching its peak on October 21β22, and the night sky is about to light up with shooting stars streaking from Orionβs constellation.
This annual celestial show, created by dust and debris from Halleyβs Comet, can bring up to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies. The best time to watch? After midnight until dawn, when Orion rises high and the sky is darkest.
Find a quiet spot away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and just look up β the universe will do the rest.
