Summer in Bedford County is a step back in time. Since the mid-1800s, travelers have flocked to our mountain springs to escape the summer heat, and today, that tradition of summer trips to the countryside lives on.
Whether you’re walking the sun-dappled streets of our 18th-century downtown or exploring the living history at Old Bedford Village, the season of adventure (capped off by America’s 250th birthday) is officially here.
Summer is the peak of our “living history” season. In the 19th century, the nation’s elite escaped to the Omni Bedford Springs Resort to conduct the nation’s business in the cool mountain air. Today, you can walk the same shaded colonnades.
Forget the digital screens; summer here is about tangible history and classic American fun.
Our trails weren’t originally built for recreation; they were built for survival, trade, and the expansion of our early country.
For photographers and storytellers, Bedford County offers a “vintage-modern” palette unmatched in summer light.
Our history is rooted in the soil. Reap the rewards of our harvest with picking opportunities and farm-to-table produce all summer long.
Whether you’re escaping for a cozy weekend, planning a family adventure, or looking to recharge at a relaxing resort, Bedford County offers the perfect backdrop for a refreshing winter getaway.
Stay in one of our charming inns, mountainside lodges, cozy b&bs, modern hotels, or relaxing resorts.
