Bright Cafes, Cobblestones, Fine Accommodations and Shopping!
The model for this is the Village at Stratton Mountain [click to view] in Vermont, although the Village at Afton would be on a smaller scale. Guests would be able to stay in rooms and suites above the retail spaces.
Update: Lynn [SWAC Girl] just suggested that the residential units above the retail space should be for year-round living. You'd have the views like you were living in Wintergreen but you'd be living in a village. Also you would have an easy drive to Charlottesville, Waynesboro or Staunton. [Next]
