Wander & Rest Tip
Enhance your action-packed afternoon in Elkton by taking a scenic country drive back toward your Wander & Rest property. On your way back from the fairgrounds, satisfy your appetite by pulling over at local favorites along the route, like Jim’s Place for some classic, hearty comfort food, or drop into Dunkin’ right off State Road 207 for a quick afternoon iced coffee and sweet pick-me-up. After an exciting day out in the sun and dust of the rodeo arena, return to your property to wash it all away and melt into total luxury—soothe your body with a deep soak in the hot tub, detoxify in the peaceful sauna, or enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim in the heated pool.
