About this house rental

Welcome to Iola Farms! This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in a picturesque valley on 106 acres just on the north side of Bristol, VA. There are plenty of activities to do such as hiking, fishing, swimming and tubing. You can visit the cattle from a safe distance or relax and read a book while listening to the sounds of the river and cattle. There is over a mile of river frontage to explore with the fishing pole, or you can break out the swim gear and go tubing from one end of the property to the other.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed suitable to sleep 2. One bedroom has a bunk bed with a full-size bottom bunk and a twin-size top bunk suitable to sleep 3. The other bedroom has a full-size bed, suitable to sleep 2. The living room has a pull-out couch suitable for 1 adult or 2 children.

Full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, dishware and cooking utensils. Kitchen table seats 6- 8. Patio table on the porch with 4 chairs and grill.

We have Starlink High Speed Wireless Internet and WIFI. Currently there is no land line. The only cellular signal that works out here is through Verizon. Other cellular services can be connected through the WIFI.

Master bath has a removable shower head, 2 vanities/sinks. Guest bath has a tub with shower and single vanity. Linens, towels, sheets and blankets are provided. There is a full-size washer and dryer.

The property is hidden over a ridge, so after you crest the driveway, you will be pleasantly surprised by the amazing views. The driveway is dirt/gravel with some bumps, so you'll need to take it slow and easy. Cars that are low to the ground are not recommended. SUV's and Subaru type vehicles will not have any problems. This is an active cattle farm so there are cows and may be caretakers on the property. During the spring, summer and fall you can enjoy most of the riverfront without being disturbed by the wandering cattle. The river is fenced off along the entire property with several points to access the river. The cattle are not pets. Do not try to pet or feed them. You can drive from one end of the property to the other to picnic, swim, hike, watch birds or take in the views of the mountains.

The property is 45 minutes from the Bristol Motor Speedway, 40 minutes from Abingdon where the famous Barter Theatre and Virginia Creeper Trailhead are located. The Carter Family Fold is about 20 minutes away. And the famous Devil's Bathtub and waterfall is also about 40 minutes away. The nearest convenient store is about 15 minutes away.

I could live here! Quiet, beautiful. You can walk through the grass with no shoes. The river is wonderful. The girls (ages 5, 4 and 2) loved it. They said it is perfect, and they were never leaving. The guys had great fun fishing (ages 36, 12 and 12). I think the 12 yr olds caught the most. The home is nice, clean, and well furnished, kid and pet friendly. My daughter enjoyed sitting on the covered deck crocheting while watching the kids play in the rain. I enjoyed the peace and quiet of no traffic, trains, horn honking or sirens. This was our second stay here and we will be back. Thank you!

The property was as described. Very secluded with wildlife and good fishing. House had everything that was needed.

It is a beautiful spot nestled in the river valley. Stay was very quiet and relaxing, perfect for the weekend my brothers and I wanted to spend with our father. The river was slow and shallow enough that we could spread out from the access points and work our way around by wading, and everyone (except me) caught fish, from smallmouth to catfish and bluegill. It was great to unplug for a few days and watch the cattle grazing from the porch when we weren't fishing.
