Serenity Now!

I am so thrilled to have found this property …. The views, the quiet, AND our Golden retriever was happy! I grew up close by & my parents live around the corner so it made it easy to visit with them. There is easy access to all my favorite places downtown and the lake, aka Hungry mother Park. I cannot wait to come back and commune with my favorite VA backroads .

Great little escape near many small town gems

Melissa's property was a fantastic escape from my typical city living. You will find yourself surrounded by rolling hills, beautiful stars, and a peaceful quietness. The house itself is fantastic with every amenity thought of by the host. We enjoyed the small touches that were geared toward guests - we truly had everything we needed! The hosts were super communicative and easy to get in touch with if we ever needed anything. The internet was frankly amazing considering the remote location. Overall it was a fantastic stay! And even though it seems remote, you are still only minutes from Marion, Chilhowie, Abingdon, and Hungry Mother State park, so it is truly a great location all around.

To our really nice trip.

It's a really nice house. But the people that clean for you are not doing a good job. The floors were dusty, they hadn't wiped the shelves or anything it wasn't terrible but it wasn't like before. The Master bathtub is stopped up. There was mouse dropping in the master bathroom my brother in law wiped it out but it was like that again the next morning so you have a live in tenant. Lol. There were some bugs in the bedrooms to. The hall bathroom light was going out to. We used my husbands flashlight which worked good. And they put towels on the beds and they were still wet. Which made the beds wet. But those were little things. But th cleaners are slipping. The windows were also dirty with hand prints. But we really did enjoy ourselves. Thank You for sharing your home with us. We really appreciate it. We look forward to maybe next year coming back. God Bless you and your family.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Sikorski

We are a family of five from Central Florida. We are so excited to share our property with others as it means so much to us. We hope you enjoy the space just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Marion, and all of Southwest Virginia, is just so charming. The beauty of Appalachia is all around and small-town feel is perfect when you just need to get away from the craziness of life. With Hungry Mother State Park just less than 10 min away, you are so close to wonderful hikes, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and a swimming beach (in season).

What makes this property unique

Our property sits on one acre and you are completely surrounded by nature on all sides. The only neighbors you’ll encounter will be cows (on the neighboring property). Deer frequent the yard and it’s so amazing to watch them graze. The entire view across the street is just farm land. Cows, turkey, deer, and donkeys have all been spotted. Use the binoculars to get an even better look!
