This was our third time staying and each time gets better. Our only setback is that the parkway is being repaved so we were not able to get on but besides that everything perfect. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

This property is Simply the Best!!! Beautiful Mountain View’s out the front and acres and acres of state land out the back to walk or discover (as long as you can walk back up the steep edge) We have attended the Sparta Apple Pie Festival 2 years in a row. It did not disappoint. BUT… This house is perfect for people, children and pets!! And to top it all off, Steve, the host, responds immediately to texts. He is the long distance tour guide, and has an answer to any and every question. He treated us like family, both years we stayed! 5 Stars for this VRBO!

Peaceful with breathtaking views
This is our second stay at this beautiful home. Secluded and peaceful with an outstanding view from the spacious deck where we enjoyed our coffee most mornings. The mountain ranges in the distance, changing of the leaves and all of the sounds of wildlife surrounding (mostly birds- but you may get lucky enough to see deer as well), the view never gets old, even on a rainy day. The sunsets from this location are phenomenal! The house is spacious enough to accommodate my family (including children ranging from toddler to teen), my in-laws and brother-in-law to all relax separately or gather for meals, games, etc. From a wide variety of kitchenwares to the super comfortable beds, the warmth of the living room and our favorite part- the deck, this home covers all of your needs, just bring groceries, coffee & wine and you're all set for a good time. The house is super clean and located within decent driving distance of many places- from in-town Sparta to Mt Airy to Meadows of Dan. Even taking a day to visit family in WV was a decent drive. We look forward to returning again.

Our recent stay was absolutely amazing. Everything was just as the pics online showed. The views were even more beautiful than we imagined. The house was extremely comfortable for everyone. Great bedrooms, large family room and kitchen. The deck and those rocking chairs were much used by the family. Overall great experience!

Best rental, Ever
My sisters and I went to the mountains to relax, regenerate, and decompress. We brought our dogs along. This property was perfect, with beautiful views and no close neighbors. Steve was a very responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for anything more. We will go back again and again!

Late April Visit
We had a group of five visit in late April for four nights. The place has a great setting and a great view. It was spacious and clean and well set up to accommodate a group of our size or an even bigger group. Our host, Steve, was super responsive and very helpful answering questions and providing suggestions. I am happy to recommend Steve's place to others.

Best Mountain View
Upon arrival we were all overly impressed with the mountain view from the cabin. It was secluded, yet only a 15 min drive to the store. We had an incident and the owner was super easy to contact, quick to resolve and made sure to resolve all issues and concerns. The cabin was an excellent size for a large family. Close to many mountain hikes. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back again.
