Great property. great owner!
This is a very comfortable property. The views are spectacular, both daytime and nighttime. All the open space is so nice and not having to worry about traffic sounds and loud neighbors is an uncommon luxury, especially at such an affordable rate. The host is awesome and helpful and the communication, is great! We would stay there again if we visited the area again.

Quiet Farmhouse
We enjoyed the Vaden Family farmhouse very much. It was the perfect peaceful getaway. The house was beautifully restored and cared for, with touches of the past like the stairs that look original to the old homestead, and newer fixtures in the bathrooms and kitchen. We especially enjoyed the cozy feel, the old black and white family photos, and the artwork of the homestead property itself. It was very spacious and serene. We enjoyed watching TV and playing trivia by the gas log fireplace, time spent on the front porch, and walking the beautiful property perched high enough to get some great views of Hanging Rock. The owners did a great job providing us with very detailed information about local places to eat and hike. We used their grill one night and enjoyed a local eatery in King another night. We hope to return in the summer or fall to see what the views look like when things have a little more foliage and color.

The best weekend getaway in the country!! Great for the doggos :)
We had the best time last weekend at the farm! The process of renting this home was so easy and we had great communication from the hosts. They gave us early check in and late check out, the house was very clean and the entry was simple! We had 3 guests Friday night and each had our own room and bathroom. Saturday night we had 5 guests and 2 dogs and we all fit very comfortably. Great kitchen, laundry, lots of games and books, comfortable beds. And 5 minutes from Hanging Rock State park where we hiked with the dogs. The VRBO property spans back for miles behind the house where we walked off leash with the dogs each day. I will definitely be back and have already recommended to my friends and coworkers!

Fantastic Farm
We had a great time at the farm house and Hanging Rock State Park. The house was clean and free of clutter. The kitchen was excellent and the foodies in our group appreciated the high quality kitchenware and small things like having plenty of kitchen towels. The house contains nice spaces / rooms for everyone to spread out and relax. The dogs enjoyed walking the nice trails on the property. Would definitely stay again.

A Peaceful Adventure
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet, beautiful getaway, or you want adventures in nature, you cannot lose by choosing this beautiful restored farmhouse and its grounds. It’s hard to narrow down to a few sentences how much we enjoyed our stay. It is the totality of all of the amenities, the views, the privacy of the well-kept grounds, the history and nostalgia, the well appointed, beautiful CLEAN, organized farm home, the proximity of fun things and beautiful adventures that made our vacation so special. If you choose to cook in, you will enjoy the beautiful kitchen and dining space. We will definitely be back. The hosts are very communicative and responsive if needed. I just can’t list all of the things that make this property so wonderful.

Hanging Rock Gem
Exceptional stay, exceptional property, exceptional hosts. Our stay was for a long weekend with family from out of state. Super clean and comfortable. Everything you need is there. Close to Hanging Rock State Park with awesome hiking, multiple waterfalls, and a lake with concessions and a great beach area. To be honest, we spent most of our time on the front porch enjoying the view. Great place to unwind and unplug. Plan to stay again in the future.

So Relaxing & Clean & Comfortable
We found this home to be relaxing and a perfect fit for our family. Location was very close to Hanging Rock State Park where we hiking several trails in. Hosts are the owners and have described the home perfectly. Beds were good. Full kitchen with everything you need for a full meal prep. Had a crockpot, night lights, football, and games. Has 2 living rooms one without a tv for games, reading or conversation. Cell service and internet was excellent. A very comfortable home.

Gorgeous!
Our family get-a-way was everything we had hoped. Beautiful home that was perfectly appointed with modern updates but historical charm. The house was impeccably clean and had every detail we could hope for and could have possibly needed. Owners communicated just before our stay that the washer was not working well so we could plan accordingly (still usable but tricky). Property was lovely with a great view of Hanging Rock. We spent most of our house time on the front porch. Our dog loved the walks to the creek and despite the heat, just wanted to be outside. This was my first time exploring the area and can’t wait to come back to visit the park again. Thank you!

Hanging Rock Hideaway
This home is so optimal for mountain get aways! EVERYTHING you need is at this home nd property. They only ask you to bring your own shampoo, and the rest is already there. We celebrated a graduation and birthday here and the hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Amenities out the wazoo, and breathtaking views make this the perfect home away from home. Extra clean, new appliances and even Alexa for us folks that count on her daily, like myself. Thank you so much for having us and we will be back as soon as the chance is available. It was truly spectacular for us all.

This farmhouse is so charming with ship lap walls and pine hardwood floors and all the creaks of a 124 year old house. Beautifully decorated and landscaped. The kitchen is well stocked and the views are tranquil. The host quickly responded to all communications. Close to hiking trails, wineries, breweries and My Airy. You will not be disappointed!!

Short Getaway for Hiking and Nascar Martinsville Race
This is a hard one to review. We loved the location and property! The mountain views were beautiful and relaxing. The inside of the house was fairly clean. Some spring cleaning of the mini-blinds, windows and porch siding should be done this year. Our major concern with this property is the stairs. Personally, I think they are an accident about to happen. We had a 1939 lake cottage for 20 years and know all about remodel projects & rustic homes. The stairs have no banister for the upper five steps. They are old, slippery and un-level with a quarter inch ledge at the top (you could easily trip on it and fall head first down the stairs with no banister to grab). The steps definitely need some kind of grip runner. Our dog actually fell and my husband caught him. The no-banister is definitely not up to code in our local building dept. There is an inch step in the hall leading to the BRs that needs to be made into a ramp. In the middle of the night, the little step bump is dangerous. Additionally, we had only a trickle of hot water in the master bath. We also tried to contact the host when we arrived, but they were out of the country so didn't get our message until the next day. They should have left a contact for us. Lastly, we arrived around 6:00 pm to discover no bath soaps. (With around 10 previous Vrbo rentals, we have never encountered this - so we had to make a 60 minute round trip on winding, dark roads for $1.99 soap bars.) Overall, we had a good stay.

Magical Homeplace
We loved everything about this property. Bryan and Francie have thought of everything. We love all the natural elements of the home that were kept in the restoration. It was fun to imagine what life would have been like living in that home in the 1900s as we sat on the front porch in the evenings. I'm a huge history buff and old cemeteries are interesting to me, so I enjoyed exploring the family plot on the hill. Our dogs had a fabulous time. They spent hours playing fetch. My husband went hiking through the property with one of our dogs while the other and I attended a nearby dog competition. The home was a great satellite spot to the competition location. The home is perfectly located for all your outdoor interests. We definitely want to come back and explore more of Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain. We ate out only one night, opting instead to get food from John Brown's and cook ourselves. The kitchen has everything you need. The night we ate out, we ate at Foothills Grill and Tap. Their beers are very well priced! Can't wait to come back! We cannot thank the hosts enough for a fabulous stay! (Next time we'd really love the original owner family member to come down and tell us stories! We hoped all weekend that we would run into her. haha)
