Map & Owner's Profile
Laurel Point, Near Chateau Morrisette & Floyd with Long Views
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Meadows of Dan
While dating we visited a Christmas Tree farm in Meadows of Dan and loved it. We decided to get married there and in looking for a minister, we also looked for land. We wanted long range views and finally found a lot in Edgeview Estates just off Belcher Mountain Road.
In 2005, I was hating my job and decided to try one more backpacking trip. Went to the Smokies and came out with a couple of days left on my vacation. I decided to go up to our lot and take a sunrise picture that I could put in my office to keep my spirits up. I drove in early one morning and set up the tripod and waited for the sun. It was okay, but not a trophy shot. Packed everything up and headed back up Belcher mountain. Between my comings and goings, someone had put a for sale sign in front of Laurel Point.
I met the owners at the house and it was a glorious day. I think I could see Canada. I was known as a fierce negotiator but I was putty in their hands. I knew I had to have that house. They came down a little and I offered them my sweaty handshake. It takes nerves to buy a house without your new bride having seen it. Obviously all is well that ends well.
We decided that the worst thing we could do with the house is just let it sit there. We're 11 hours away and are lucky to visit 2 or 3 times a year. So far we have had excellent guests and feel good about sharing our house.
Hope you come and visit. It's beautiful during the spring, cool in the summer and spectacular in the fall. Notice I didn't mention winter. A little too cool for this Tar Heel converted Floridian.

Homeowner Response:
The house is large enough to handle many people, however, in the future rentals are for accommodations and not large parties. Our intention is to provide a relaxing home-like setting and is not set up for huge groups. Woodberry Inn (540-593-2567) and Chateau Morrisette (540-593-2865) have rooms for large parties as well as provisions for catering.

From Guest Book: The house was everything you said it was and more. The quiet was so relaxing and the views fantastic. My son and his wife absolutely adored it (and kept saying they sure hope we were coming here again). We had great fun at Oddfellas, the Woodberry Inn and Chateau Morrisette. We also had great meals in the "Laurel Point Kitchen". Thanks so much for sharing your treasure.

From Guest Book: Bill and Mary, your dream house is fantastic. The place has wonderful amenities and rooms that are so spacious and sereene - and so comfortable. We loved the deck and the spectacular view. I'd come back any time of year knowing it would be beautiful. We did the local sites. "Oddfellas" on a Friday night is a must. Thanks so much. We hope to return. (I shall return). P.S. When I first got here I slept dreaming the usual mixed-up, lost, frenetic dreams. After a few serene days and nights I dreamt sweet, happy dreams.

From Guest Book: We have so enjoyed our wonderful visit to this paradise. What a view and what a fantastic house. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would love to see it in spring. This is life as it was meant to be lived...Quiet contemplation. Beatuy everywhere and bluegrass music. It doesn't get much better. We love your house, your mountain, Patrick County and the Blue Ridge Highway. Thank you for the introduction to this area.
