About this property

2 miles from NB State Park, James River, hiking trails and trout fishing!

Beautiful Contemporary brick home on 1.93 park-like acres including mature hardwoods. Squeaky cleaned to protect from Covid-19 according to CDC guidelines.
Cathedral ceilings with massive solid wood beams. Front windows to ceiling to enjoy stunning views of Blue Ridge Mountains--also viewed from large bay window in dining room.
Comfortable with new furniture, mattresses and bedding throughout house. Also, updated HVAC heat and air conditioning upstairs. Electric heat downstairs. Cozy propane fireplace in living room.
Upstairs has 3 lovely bedrooms and oak floors throughout and two nicely renovated full baths--master bedroom bath with shower and hall bath with tub and shower. Spacious, newly renovated kitchen with stainless appliances, including new dishwasher and electric glass top range with convection oven feature. Large solid oak dining table seats 6 and counter height table in kitchen seats 4.
Fun family room in basement with plenty of comfy seating, pool table, satellite TV, small refrigerator, and nice desk to work from. Also, renovated 1/2 bath, laundry room, and another room with table tennis, electronic stationary bicycle, and another work desk.
Outside, fabulous landscaping in a private, park-like setting with mature hardwoods, large evergreens, boxwoods, shrubs, flowers, all surrounding a lovely, cozy gazebo, from which you can enjoy steaming coffee while you admire the view of the Blue Ridge. Enjoy grilling out on the slate patio beside the wood deck in the peaceful atmosphere.
Prepare to be awed by the geological wonders at the Natural Bridge and Caverns (deepest on the East Coast) at the Natural Bridge State Park, only 1 short mile away.
A little over a mile from the Park, visit the Natural Bridge Zoo for animal education. See their video on www.naturalbridgezoo.com. Across the road, the wacky Dinosaur Kingdom II for great family fun. It's a strange combination of history and prehistory. Website at dinosaurkingdomii.com.
Head north again on US Route 11 another 3.1 miles and find the Virginia Safari Park. Their website shows their many attractions and also, hours and rates on www.virginiasafaripark.com. Check out the penguin pool, tiger territory, petting area, walk-through free-flight aviary, and kangaroo area.
Practically, across the road is the Pink Cadillac Diner where you can travel back to a simpler time when Elvis was king! You can't miss the authentic "Pink Cadillac" parked by the side of the road. This is also a favorite of the locals.
Then only a hop and skip from the restaurant is Halcyon Days Cider Co. and the Great Valley Farm Brewery Co. Check out their websites for these relaxing, beautiful, and special places to chill, on halcyondayscider.com and greatvalleyfarmbrewery.com.
Did I forget to mention the Natural Bridge Speedway on Dry Well Road just minutes away? See their website for special events at www.nbspeedway.com.
Swimming and fishing are available at Cave Mountain Lake only 11 minutes away in Arnolds Valley. Also there, hike the trails and see the Devils Marbleyard.
And if you didn't get enough nostalgia at the Pink Cadillac, see a movie under the stars at the Hull's Drive-In in Lexington. See what's playing and what's on the menu at www.hullsdrivein.com.
What a vacation!
Natural Bridge is also convenient to Lexington, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Buchanan, Buena Vista, and Glasgow for many more attractions.
Note: please check for availability due to Covid-19.

We felt right at home!

This is the most comfortable home! We felt right at home right away. It is equipped with everything that we might have wanted and more! There are so many thoughtful touches that made our family visit here just right. We ate more meals in that we had planned just because it was so cozy to be there, and the spacious kitchen and dining room made it so easy. The beds are very comfortable, and the living room is great for deep conversations and naps! The bathrooms are great. Downstairs is filled with fun games -- a pool table, ping pong, foosball, and more. The yard and surrounding areas are beautiful. A magnolia tree was blooming in the front yard when we arrived, so inspiring and springlike. We had a little dog with us and the yard was good for him. We were there during a lunar eclipse and the deck right off the kitchen made a wonderful place to watch it and the stars. The area beyond this house has lots of interesting things. We particularly enjoyed the Virginia Animal Safari. The owners of this home went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and enjoy our stay. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We loved our vacation in this place. We are so grateful.

Family Thanksgiving gathering

Our family had a wonderful stay! The property is accommodating for grandchildren to great grandparents. The children enjoyed playing outside in the leaves and playing games in the downstairs game room. The kitchen is the most well equipped of any VRBO weve stayed at. We prepared a delicious feast for lunchtime and again for supper. Food, fun, and fellowship......a good time was had by all!!! The property is clean and well furnished and was decorated for the fall season. Thank you for making our family's gathering very special!

Perfect country getaway

This house was perfectly located off the highway far enough for peace and quiet, but close enough to get to and from. Did a lot of sightseeing from the Natural Bridge to Roanoke to Lexington and beyond. Highly recommend for a family as there are several rooms to choose from. The yard is beautiful in the morning, perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee. Had all the Things we needed and house was very clean and cozy. Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

We enjoyed this stay so very much. The house and property are beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen is awesome. I love to cook and we had several family meals together while we were there. The grandchildren LOVED the gameroom in the basement and they could go out in the yard and play (safely). We could eat outside on tge deck and enjoyed the gazebo, as well. Absolutely awesome property!

Why they chose this property

We have lived in this area all our lives. We have admired the house and the setting for years. We never dreamed we would someday own it! When the chance came to buy, we were delighted to be able to make the purchase. It was a dream come true!

It is a beautiful house and we have furnished it with love. The former owners took good care of it and we are carrying that tradition forward and striving to make it even better!

The close proximity to such great adventurous, historical, geological, and magical spaces make it a natural as a vacation rental!

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, two of our greatest founding fathers, have walked these same landscapes and were awed by them. As well, many people from around the world have been attracted to, and visited this beautiful spot. Their curiosity is well-founded!

Here, the Shenandoah Valley narrows in this special place, bringing two ancient mountain ranges close to provide breathtaking views! This landscape cradles special, river-rich, inspiring natural geological spaces for all of us to treasure and enjoy! Do not miss this journey!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful view and park-like setting, close proximity to many historical, interesting, and fun spots to visit.

Lovely landscaping with gazebo, large deck with roll-out gate to keep small children and pets contained, wheelchair ramp, pool table, ping pong table, electronic exercise bike, and large family room, spacious kitchen, living room, & dining room.

All new furniture, mattresses, bedding and towels, bought in 2020. Clean, comfortable, sanitary, and restful!
