About this property
Lodge at Laurel Fork - Secluded Mountain Retreat on Cold Water Trout Stream
5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bathroom Custom Log Home - Sleeps 14
**** High-speed broadband internet - enables video streaming (on personal devices or great room TV via Amazon Fire Stick (with your personal Amazon account and subscriptions) - Netflix, Prime, ESPN, HBO, Hulu, YouTube, Disney, etc), gaming, downloads, etc. ****
*** Ask about our repeat guest discounts. ***
** Perfect for groups coming to FloydFest, the famous Hillsville Flea Market, Galax Fiddlers Convention. **
* Nine acres added to the property, for a total of 12 acres to roam and explore, including a trail up the mountain to a large flat area at the top to explore, picnic, camp, star gaze or relax as well as additional river frontage on native trout stream for fishing and enjoying the cool, clear mountain waters. We have recently added / upgraded many amenities including a fire pit, gas grill and hot tub. *
Dog, child friendly modern home located on bold, native trout stream with relaxing sounds from the waterfall and surrounding forests. Sit in front of the fireplace or enjoy breathtaking views and sounds of nature from the expansive deck furnished with multiple tables, chairs, a gas grill and a hot tub for six. This 4150 square-foot home sleeps up to fourteen comfortably and offers year-round appeal for a variety of guests, including fishermen, hunters, skiers, golfers, couples, family/group reunions and visitors traveling to FloydFest, Virginia Tech or Martinsville Speedway. For those guests that must stay connected, the house has high-speed broadband Wi-Fi internet, Satellite TV, a landline and cell phone booster.
Located a short distance from Olde Mill Golf Resort, Primland Resort and Chateau Morrisette Winery and Restaurants. Situated near the New River in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this mountain retreat is only 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway at Meadows of Dan, Mabry Mill and Fancy Gap. Golf, swimming, boating, antiquing, winery tours and horseback riding are all within a few miles. Great areas for fishing, hiking and biking are available on site.
This mountain home is a perfect place for viewing fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, attending NASCAR races in Martinsville and exploring country and bluegrass music, local food, arts and crafts in Floyd. Located two hours from Boone and other ski resorts in North Carolina and less than 25 miles from Mount Airy (aka Mayberry), this home is a great base for visiting a host of scenic places. The Labor Day Flea Market in Hillsville every September is the largest in the U.S. and the Fiddlers Convention in Galax held every August is the oldest and largest in the U.S. Primland Resort, Chateau Morrisette Winery and the restaurant at the Olde Mill Golf Resort offer fine dining experiences within a radius of at least 10 miles from the property.
** Pets welcome (dogs only, 2 dogs maximum, with $100 pet fee per dog). **
** NOTE ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY TO OUR HOME: our gravel driveway from the paved road to our home has some curvy and steep sections, as is normal in the mountains. There are "speed bumps" that help with water run-off and driveway erosion during storms. SUVs, trucks, and higher clearance vehicles have no issues. Low clearance sedans (as some members of our team drive) or sports cars may rub on the speed bumps, so crossing at an angle and / or near the ends should help. Even without 4WD you will be fine, put your car in Low and go slow if needed. **

About the host
Hosted by Kim Smith
We are a family that loves to travel and explore new and exciting places all over the world and have a special fondness for the Blue Ridge Mountains of SW VA.
Why they chose this property
We visited this property as guests for many years and with a little luck and perseverance we ended up purchasing the home and mountain acreage to steward and shape and share with our valued guests.
What makes this property unique
Getting away, solitude, fellowship, relaxing, recharging, unplugging, immersing yourself into the scenic and private surrounding mountain terrain.
