Things to Do Nearby

This place is awesome and just a five minute drive from Eden. Layton’s R.V.F. (Rolling View Farm) specializes in horseback riding, riding lessons, and horse training. They have over 30 horses on the farm, most of which are the Haflinger breed.  These horses are a sturdy, good tempered breed with a beautiful golden coat and blonde mane and tails.

This place does NOT have the best pizza in town (go to CDs for that) but it does have a good selection of Italian and other favorites. It has a decent bar and a large amount of indoor seating. This is a good choice for breakfast as well.
