Our Story

The Vance Toe River Lodge was originally built in 1919 as the T. B. Vance General Store. After trading hands through the years and seeing its fair share of abuse it ended up in the hands of our family, the Youngs. Using every weekend as an opportunity to come up to the mountains from Greenville, SC and work, we slowly transformed the run down building into the beautiful site it is now. Finally we made the big move from Greenville up to Plumtree in order to put all our energy into the Lodge as well as other things like agriculture and opening a campground.
