The Blue Ridge Suite sleeps 4, the Overlook sleeps 16 and the Pool House can accommodate 4. Bruce's Barn is a century old, modern barn with a capacity of 150 guests. This listing is for the Lodge only.

Enjoy sweeping mountain views, hiking trails down to the Rockfish River, a huge deck and fire pit, swimming pool with lounge furniture, a huge kitchen with amazing gas range, multiple common areas for hanging out, and of course wonderful star gazing on clear nights!

A little bit of history:

The original deed of Avon Hill was granted by the King of England and has changed familial ownership only three times since the mid-1700s. At one time, the Avon Hill land totaled 1300 acres. Today 105 acres remain. The original house at Avon Hill burned in the early 1800s. The current homes date from the mid 1800s with many improvements. After ground-up restorations of all of our buildings, and continuous additions and upgrades, the Avon Hill Lodge compound is ready for your visit. Perhaps the most lasting and beautiful impression left upon Avon Hill Lodge visitors are the English and American boxwood gardens. In 1932, the property owners loaded 22 flatcar trains with boxwoods which today are part of the landscaping of the Governor’s Mansion in Williamsburg, Virginia. The “hill” is still maintained today as a boxwood farm.

Amazing!

Amazing property - clean, comfortable, and spacious! Pool was great, and we had plenty of space to spread out in the main house. The music speaker system in the house was impressive. Would definitely recommend.

Wow! Both sunrise and sunset are beautiful from the patios!

The pictures do not do the mountain views justice. Beautiful home with a very quiet and private location. All the amenities that you need, including trash bags, coffee filters and things you forget. The property manager was attentive and helpful with quick responses. Thank you for a great weekend away!
