Alice's Restaurant is a few minutes' walk away, and some households can take a combination pedestrian/equestrian trail all the way there. The Town of Woodside has promised to improve the trail with grading and handrails but, as of spring 2021, has not given us a construction schedule. Alice's hosts an annual Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning for children (here's a photo), and a formal Valentine's Day dinner (make reservations!). It's owned by brothers Andy and Jamie Kerr, who grew up nearby and bought the restaurant in 2002. Alice's also sells Christmas trees in late November and December.
The Mountain Terrace is an event space across the street from Alice's Restaurant and within walking distance. They occasionally feature tasty special events. Here's the menu from the January 2018 buffet and the February 2018 buffet. They offered a St. Valentine's Day dinner with optional wine pairing in February 2019.
Next to The Mountain Terrace is the Skywood Trading Post, our closest convenience store and gas station. In late 2018, the Trading Post remodeled their produce and dairy section (here's a photo) and now offers daily soup or chili selections.
If you are willing to drive a few miles The Mountain House offers Michelin Star dining, in a rustic, roadhouse setting.
