VCU Elderhostel in Natural Bridge
Experience the ever-changing moods of this secluded mountain valley retreat, from the bloom
of spring to cool summer breezes to forests flaming with brilliant color and the serenity of winter. Explore caverns,
woodlands, the beautiful Blue Ridge, the ancient nature-sculpted masterpiece called Natural Bridge, and its spectacular
setting that Thomas Jefferson called the most sublime place on earth. VCU's site at Natural Bridge is just minutes from I-81
on Route 11, south of historic Lexington.
The Natural Bridge Inn & Conference Center, a national landmark hotel, features fine
dining, onsite classes, double occupancy, singles extra charge, private baths, hiking, tennis, and seasonal indoor pool.
