This mountain property has been in our family since 1976. It was an active Bed and Breakfast for 10 years, from about 1984-1994. The owners, Harold and Trudy Spangler, were from Greensboro, N.C., where he worked as a pediatrician for 30 years before they both retired to be a mountain couple, and eventually agreeing to be hosts of a B & B. 5 children and 13 grandchildren have their fondest memories sleeping, playing, and passing a cool summer day and evening on the lawn and in the houses, seeing the fall foliage in the autumn, and enjoying getting away from the city.

Ann S. Vernon purchased this farmhouse in 1976

This property is right on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and leads to Roanoke, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and many historic sites, including Mabry Mill, Rocky Knob, Floyd, Mt Airy, Galax, Abingdon (Barter Theater), Virginia Creeper Trail, Fancy Gap, and Chateau Morrisette are close by for adventure and special events.

Stuart, and Fairystone Park, are not far away.

Clean mountain air and water. Absence of modern distractions, such as the telephone ringing and the chores of home. Time to read and enjoy the beautiful setting; stars brilliant in the night sky, sounds of birds and bullfrogs in the meadow and lake. Very close to major events in the summer and fall at nearby parkway and winery venues. Porches for sitting and rocking, decks for enjoying the lake, meadow and lawn for badminton and crocquet. Unplug from your busy home and work life to this quiet non-technological setting. Our motto is unplug and unwind. However, we have recently added DSL and have good Wi-Fi on the property.
