About this property

Ready, Set, Relax! Sleeps 8+and pet friendly You may never want to leave!

Our property is located on 90+ private, walkable acres and is adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is a spectacular place to unwind and relax with long mountain views and plenty of privacy. Enjoy the property's serenity where deer and turkey are your neighbors. Stone Mountain State Park and the New River State Park are a short drive away to enjoy hiking, fishing, canoeing and floating. In addition, there are 40 vineyards within an hour drive and the property is less than 10 miles to Camp Cheerio.

This multi-level 5bed/2bath home is the perfect family home. The home boasts a massive octagonal porch with a table for 8 and unobstructed views of the mountains. There is plenty of parking for at least 6 vehicles. A full-size washer and dryer are located in the hall bath. The kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the goodies needed for cooking family meals. In addition to the massive table on the porch, you can also enjoy your meals on the large dining room table. Three bedrooms are located on the ground level and two are located upstairs. The master bedroom has a king bed, 2 guest rooms each have a queen bed, 2 guest rooms each have a full bed and the "kid-suite" attached to the master by french doors has a bunk bed with a twin on top, full on the bottom and a pull out twin trundle. Two bathrooms with touch screen mirror lights and rain shower heads are located on the ground level. The house has heating and air conditioning, as well as ceiling fans in every room. Outside on the property, you can wonder along to the upper pasture for quiet, private walks with incredible views, or head out to the 2 ponds on the property for catch and release fishing. Watch the sun set behind the mountains while warming up by the portable fire pit in the front yard until it becomes your own private planetarium to watch for falling stars. Bocce ball and corn hole are also available to play outside in the yard. We are pet friendly but require a pet fee. This property is great for a family reunion or gathering! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I'm happy to help. Your only problem staying here is ...... you might not want to leave!

Yearly family trip

We love the house. It has plenty of room and loads of parking. My family has outgrown one house but this house is perfect for some of the family and for everyone to gather for meals and such. Always look forward to our trip to Alleghany county.

Girls golf trip

Nice property, quiet, and great views. We were indoors while Tropical Storm Debbie rained for a full day, but we were able to enjoy ourselves with games and napping. A bit of a drive to get into Sparta for provisions and dining out..

Glade valley family vacation

We had 3 generations of family staying here. It was perfect. My mother is 91 years old. Lots of flat area for her to walk easily. The downstairs area in the house was easy for her to navigate. We put the younger generation upstairs. Easy access to hiking, the Blue ridge parkway and Stone mountain state park. We plan to come back next year. Loved it

Get away and slow down

Our stay was wonderful; the house and property are amazing. The owners communication was timely and helpful. It is a large property and can handle many people. We found it just right with our family of six. Everything was clean and comfortable. The ponds are great for fishing and the banks are clean and easy for helping little ones to fish. The views are great from anywhere on the property. We hope to make our visit a yearly stay.

Great property

We loved our stay here, it was very peaceful and secluded. The porch was beautiful and the fact that they had cornhole boards and football were a big plus. The only downside is that the grill was on the porch and we had to move it off the porch and back up there when we were done with it.

Great time, great property!

When our usual rental was booked for our family fall getaway, we had to find a new one, and chose The Bluestone, and couldn’t have been happier. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and was one of the best stocked kitchens of any we rented. The back porch is amazing as well, with plenty of room for all 11 of us. We loved exploring the property and the kids loved playing in the yard.

Great view and seclusion

I stayed a week here with my family and we had a great time. There was only 6 of us, but this house could comfortable hold much more. The property is beautiful with wild flowers everywhere. There were amazing views of the mountains, especially at sunset from the porch. Being away from everyone was definitely a great plus during the pandemic, but the house is also close to a lot of great vineyards, hiking, and kayaking. We all had a great time and would definitely recommend the place.

Porch of relaxation

Loved the house! You can see the mountains in the distance from the porch. Great breezes every minute of our early fall trip with friends. Wouldn’t suggest it for more than 4 couples due to only 2 bathrooms! But the house was spread out and clean! We hope to come back sometime!

Hidden Private Gem

If you are looking for peace and quite along with privacy this rental is for you! The covered porch was so enjoyable to have every meal outside along with the comfortable rockers to enjoy our morning coffee with the view of the mountains. The owner and property manager was very prompt in responding to our questions and request for additional firewood. Great hiking location and abundant fish catching. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was a super clean house along with great WiFi connection. We hope to definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Pitcairn

Host profile image
My grandparents were from Elkin and I spent my summers here. Both my parents are from NC and this place is my " favorite place to be".

Why they chose this property

The views and privacy are unmatched but at the same time a short drive into Sparta, Mt. Airy or Galax. The colors for the fall foliage are incredible. We love coming for the holidays and cutting down our fresh Christmas tree.

What makes this property unique

The porch and its views will blow you away! Close to Stone Mtn. Park for hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway is right outside your front door. Visit Mt. Airy and see where they filmed The Andy Griffith Show. Visit North Carolina Wineries! Summertime had Music on Main in Sparta. 60 Miles from Winston Salem and 90 from Charlotte. Come relax in the mountains
