Mountain Lodge: Heated Pool 83°

Beautiful setting with spacious room for our get-away. Was exactly what we wanted. The game room and pool was a perfect addition for hanging out and having fun. One of the great surprises was sitting on the front porch watching the sun rise over the mountain.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain home! The house was clean, very spacious, and the beds were comfortable. There were so many great spaces to gather as a family or enjoy some quiet alone time. The deck was perfect for watching sunsets and spotting deer, and we loved all the thoughtful touches like games, books, beautiful flowers throughout, and even the super-friendly resident cat. The decorations made the home feel warm and inviting.That said, a few things kept it from being a full five-star experience. The property is advertised as a “hiker’s dream” with 78 acres, but hiking with dogs required extra caution due to barbed wire fencing (understandably for cattle, but it didn’t quite match the hiking experience we expected). Communication could also be improved. I didn’t receive responses to some of my questions before arrival, the check-in code came a minute after the official time when I had to ask for it, and the house rules weren’t sent until the afternoon of our second day. The trash instructions were also unclear. It seems like some of the automated messages just need better timing and explanation so guests know what to expect.Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return! Knowing these details in advance would have made the experience even smoother.

We loved our stay! The place was big enough to accommodate a lot of people and a bunch of young kids. The pool was a life saver for our hot summer vacation, and the house was close to everything we wanted to do (hiking at Natural Bridge State Park and the Virginia Safari). We roasted marshmallows, grilled out, and had plenty of room to eat big family dinners and have nightly game nights. We had a little leak problem happen in the basement game room, but the weather was nice enough to not need to use it and the owners came to check it out and help manage it while we were there. Would highly recommend this for a large group or family coming to the area!!

Kitchen was great. plenty of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc.Our only complaint was receiving the code for the lock to the front door 5 minutes before our arrival.
