Reviews
Snug and welcoming.
5/5 Next to woods and river. Love the bear and country style decorations. Really liked that the back has about and acre that is fenced in so that the kids can romp around! Sat by the river as the sun went down and it was magical.
VERY NICE -- Will come back with fam!
5/5 A very nice place, comfy and homey, with great views, peaceful, and close to state parks and lovely small towns. Woods and little river in back, Blue Ridge Parkway and other parks are close by.
Nice place to relax in the mountains, but...
4/5 The place was very nice, but the river in back isn't good for white water rafting, just wading and fly fishing.
Sparta
5/5 Lovely home and beautiful surroundings!
