About this property

This luxury peg, post and beam timber-frame cabin sits on top of a ridge on 43 unspoiled acres. Note: the driveway is steep and front wheel drive is recommended.
Quiet, secluded with spectacular mountain views all around. Explore the walking trails on the property that lead to the Top-O-The-Ridge where you can see the North Carolina side of the Blue Ridge off in the distance. Follow the less strenuous get-away trail which will lead you to an intimate view of the peaceful valley below while relaxing in an Adirondack chair or on the A-frame swing. Maybe just head down the ridge to Helton Creek, which borders the property, and enjoy the sounds of the bold stream or try your hand at fly fishing for some of the native or stocked trout. Or...just sit on the porch and enjoy the vistas. You may never want to leave!
This beautiful home has 3 porches, each with spectacular views. Enjoy dinner or a warm fire outside on the back deck. Build a roaring bon-fire in the camp fire pit overlooking Grayson Highlands State Park. At night the stars are magnificent! Inside, sit on the large hearth of the nearly 30 foot stone fireplace and soak in the warmth and sounds of another crackling fire.
Indulge in the many activities close by. Lily Ridge is just 10 min. from the Virginia Creeper Trail and only 3 miles from Grayson Highlands State Park. Local attractions/activities include hiking, fishing, biking, horseback riding, music, and festivals throughout the year.
West Jefferson, NC is 25 min away where there are a variety of restaurants from BBQ to fine dining. Enjoy local art work, shops and antiquing. Nearby, enjoy the ambiance, a glass of wine and fine dining offered by the River House located on the North Fork of the New River. There are several golf courses located in West Jefferson and the New River is a beautiful place to canoe, tube or kayak.
In the other direction over the peak of Whitetop Mountain, is Abingdon, Virginia, a vibrant and quaint destination and home to the historic Barter Theater. Abingdon is a short 45 minute drive along the famed Crooked Road Music Trail. Explore the town, try the original Tavern which has been in continuous operation since the 1700's and visit the Abingdon Winery on the way there or on the way back to Lily Ridge.
Boone, NC is an hour from Whitetop as well as the quaint community of Blowing Rock. Shop, ski, rock climb or zip line. The choices in and around Lily Ridge Cabin are limitless.
We manage the property personally to make sure your stay is an enjoyable and memorable experience! We hope you will consider staying with us soon!

Family gathering for Grayson Highlands Race

The cabin/house was beautifully situated, both for access to Grayson Highlands State Park and to take advantage of deck sitting with beautiful views. We enjoyed all the conveniences of the fireplace, fire pit, grill, and short hike to a crest for even more beautiful views. We woke up the first morning to 7 deer we could watch as we drank our coffee!

Family Time Cabin

My family was able to spend quality time together at this beautiful house. The kitchen was perfect for cooking breakfast, the dining table excellent for puzzling in the bright morning light, the living room for catching up with one another by a fire, the downstairs den for movie nights, and the outdoor paths and porches for beautiful views.

Epic family holiday getaway

This beautiful place was the perfect venue to bring our family together for Thanksgiving. It was exactly as described, had plenty of needed amenities and the layout gave each of us a separate space of our own. Important things when cooped up due to weather. Would definitely recommend! Owner was responsive and kind. The fireplace was fantastic and we enjoyed many games at the table. The sunrises were stunning! I could go on, but ai think you get the picture.

Mountain Paradise

The house and location are spectacular. Easy access to Grayson Highlands and a nice and relatively easy trip to Lansing and West Jefferson, which should be your go to places for food/etc. Rt 58 truly earns it's Crooked Road name, and should be avoided if you need to get somewhere quickly or have car sick prone passengers. Laurel Valley Rd is a good alternative and can be reached via Whitetop Rd. We have been to this area a lot, and we will be coming back to Lily Ridge again!

Peace talks on top of the mountain

This home was more beautiful than the pictures. It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The kitchen has everything anyone could ask for -it is state of the art. The tub and the bath salts and the soap were so relaxing. The master bedroom and bathroom downstairs was superb. We played games and watched movies on TV while eating popcorn downstairs. The decor throughout the house is Aesthetically, beautiful and well decorated. Little things like the CD player to play background music and the beautiful couches with the fireplace and the checkerboard table or just a little added, plus’s. Outside decks are beyond words, I swung and read my Bible every morning while listening to wildlife. We sat out on the other side and watched the sun come up every morning while drinking coffee. We made a fire in the fire pit there every night. We had a picnic at the fire pit on the ground, and we walked on the hiking trails, where we sat with the fire one night and then the other spot- we sat and looked at it, nature and pitched her shoes and swing. It was wonderful. Just listening to wildlife and being so secluded, was so peaceful and calming. Location was great because we went up and road the creeper trail starting at White top and we went to Highland Park. We hiked there and saw the wild ponies. It was fabulous. If you don’t rent this place, you are missing out on a gem!!!

Just Beautiful!

The house and surrounding property is amazing. I can only imagine how this must look in the fall with the views. We did the Creeper bike ride which is always fun. This was quite an adventure. The driveway to the property is somewhat steep but not a big deal. If you want something different this is the one.

Beautiful property, but beware of pet odor

The main floor of the house is great, and the view is incredible. We had a great stay, but wanted to warn future renters of an odor in the basement if they plan on using every level of the house. We ended up only using the loft and the main floor because the smell was so pungent, but when we went to the basement it smelled strongly of animal urine. The smell was so strong we closed the door and didn’t use that part of the property for the remainder of our stay. Fortunately, our group was still able to use the beds left from that- but if we had been a larger group, it would’ve been very unpleasant sleeping down there. Also, the stairs going to the loft are extremely loud so if there are light sleepers it might be a problem. But if you’re traveling with pets and don’t mind the odor it would be a great fit.

Lily Ridge is a slice of Heaven

We've stayed in lots of rental houses, and Lily Ridge is particularly perfect for those who want to connect with natural beauty; the mountains of Southwest Virginia in this instance. The porches and outdoor seating options take advantage of the absolute gorgeous surroundings with spectacular views from every angle. The interior of Lily Ridge cabin is equally stunning with a great floor plan and so many inviting comforts. Our group of four loved so many facets of this beautiful house; including an absolutely wonderful music collection that served as the perfect soundtrack for our four night stay. This property gets 10 stars across the board.

Wish we’d had a week to stay!

We rented Lily’s Den cabin for two nights and hiked in Grayson Highlands State Park (one of our favorite places in the world!). The cabin was truly secluded and the views were just shy of 360 degrees. Being outdoorsy, we spent a lot of time on the deck and at a little side overlook with a swing and horseshoe pits. If traveling with a dog, as we did, note that you’ll need to bring a couple of gates to close in the deck area. We just kept our dog on a 20 ft leash and it was fine. The driveway is steep—we the recommend 4WD. But the long drive is well maintained and the views at the top are spectacular. We recommend Lily’s Den wholeheartedly!

Thanksgiving Stay

We visit the NC mountains several times a year. This house is beautiful! The most gorgeous 360 views of the Blueridge Mountains. There are several short hikes to areas on the property to enjoy. The owners have thought of everything. We will certainly plan another stay at Lily Ridge in the near future.

Peaceful Mountain Stay

The house was a beautiful rustic exposed beam structure with a great view of the mountains. We enjoyed eating out on the deck overlooking the mountains and seeing the deer that came up to the fence around the house. It is in a great location relative to the Virginia Creeper Trail and Grayson Highlands State Park, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a good place to relax and just listen to the wind in the trees.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Lange

Todd and Sheila Lange have been married for over 30 years, reside in Statesville, North Carolina and have three children, a 31 year old girl, a 29 year old boy and a 22 year old boy. We have enjoyed many happy moments in and around Lily Ridge Cabin and love sharing it with friends, family and guests. Was always a dream of ours to build a home in the mountains and we were fortunate enough to be able to do so. The home and property is near where Sheila's father was born and the Cole Cemetery below the property is named after her family. Lots of history for her and now the rest of us in the area.

Why they chose this property

See above. It is most of all connected to us and extended family and offers a complete and unspoiled retreat from the world. The views are spectacular and at night there is absolutely no light pollution so the stars are limitless. The other things is the connection to the roots of Country Music and Blue Grass legends. Even if you don't think you like Blue Grass Music, try some contemporary takes from Allison Kraus, Sierra Hull, Dan Tyminski or old acoustic classics from John Prine, Jackson Browne while enjoying the fire overlooking the mountains. Turn the overhead lights off and use the floor or table lighting to make your stay warm and cozy. Get a feel for Appalachia through the proximity of Lily Ridge Cabin to the roots of County Music.
