"In The Country" Store & Eatery

Year after year, the wonderful people of Damascus, Va extend to the hikers that pass through town a level of kindness and hospitality that is rarely seen in today's world, and this warm welcome has earned Damascus the moniker "The friendliest town on the Appalachian Trail". This warm hospitality is often first received at the very first business that many hikers visit upon entering the town: "In The Country"! In The Country is the type of place that makes one feel at home after weeks or months of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The Eatery offers a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy some of the very best food to be found anywhere along the trail, and you can finish off your meal with a delectable treat from the Ice Cream Shoppe - a great way to relax after a hard day on the trail. If you wish to send a gift back home or simply pick one up for yourself, the Country Store has plenty of crafts, antiques, pictures, candles, rustic framed signs, postcards and lots, lots more at very reasonable prices. Take your time, browse around, and treat yourself and/or your loved ones to a unique In The Country gift! The next time you find yourself hiking, biking or driving through Damascus, Va, be sure to set aside a few minutes to drop in at 409 Fritz Street and visit owners Bert and Brenda Snodgrass at In The Country.
