This multi-level 5bed/2bath home is the perfect family home. The home boasts a massive octagonal porch with a table for 8 and unobstructed views of the mountains. There is plenty of parking for at least 6 vehicles. A full-size washer and dryer are located in the hall bath.

Two bathrooms with touch screen mirror lights and rain shower heads are located on the ground level. The house has heating and air conditioning, as well as ceiling fans in every room. Outside on the property, you can wonder along to the upper pasture for quiet, private walks with incredible views, or head out to the 2 ponds on the property for catch and release fishing. Watch the sun set behind the mountains while warming up by the portable fire pit in the front yard until it becomes your own private planetarium to watch for falling stars. Bocce ball and corn hole are also available to play outside in the yard. We are pet friendly but require a pet fee. This property is great for a family reunion or gathering! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I'm happy to help. Your only problem staying here is ...... you might not want to leave!

We love the house. It has plenty of room and loads of parking. My family has outgrown one house but this house is perfect for some of the family and for everyone to gather for meals and such. Always look forward to our trip to Alleghany county.
We stay in a lot of placesand this was by far the most beautiful place. This is in part the fantastic gazebo attached to property with view of mountains. The owner is clearly focused on their guests and you simply can not go wrong booking this place. You will love it!!!
The home and property were amazing. Everything was as described and more! Well equipped kitchen with everything needed. The deck was amazing. Sitting out at night with the Mountain views was incredible! Beautiful home, we hope to come back again.
Nice property, quiet, and great views. We were indoors while Tropical Storm Debbie rained for a full day, but we were able to enjoy ourselves with games and napping. A bit of a drive to get into Sparta for provisions and dining out..
We had 3 generations of family staying here. It was perfect. My mother is 91 years old. Lots of flat area for her to walk easily. The downstairs area in the house was easy for her to navigate. We put the younger generation upstairs. Easy access to hiking, the Blue ridge parkway and Stone mountain state park. We plan to come back next year. Loved it
Our family had an amazing time here! The house is spacious, clean and well appointed. The property is gorgeous with beautiful views.
The host was gracious and very responsive. We hope to come back soon!
Our stay was wonderful; the house and property are amazing. The owners communication was timely and helpful. It is a large property and can handle many people. We found it just right with our family of six. Everything was clean and comfortable. The ponds are great for fishing and the banks are clean and easy for helping little ones to fish. The views are great from anywhere on the property. We hope to make our visit a yearly stay.
Absolutely loved the privacy of the property and the views! House is very well kept and not too far away from Sparta for restaurants and such. Would highly recommend!
Incredible!! We felt safe, comfortable and cozy, just like home. The home’s provisions are perfect!! Even the grill!! The windows allow for immensely enjoying the beautiful view!! Rocking chairs are provided on the most amazing porch!! The grounds are just spectacular!! And sitting around the fire pit at night , gazing at the universe of stars was just stellar!! The most stars we’ve ever seen, what a peaceful experience!! Except, of course, for a very peaceful and quiet nights rest. Julie, our host, goes above and beyond!! We loved how clean the home was and the towels (!!) , I’m sure we were enjoying a spa retreat!!! Missing it already !!!! Thank you Julie for sharing this incredible retreat !!!!
The property was a great experience and so was the Mayberry days, We had a small problem with yellow jackets swarming from a nest under the window and found 10 in one bedroom. Also on the porch the railing going down the steps broke on my elderly sister and caused her to fall. She was not hurt but I need to contact the owner and cannot find any contact number. If you could provide tht to me I would appreciate it. I want to inform them of these 2 items. I talked to the property manager and she said I should talk to the owner and inform them just so that they would know what happened to the railing. Otherwise we really enjoyed the house and had a great time.
Beautiful property and is well maintained. We had extended family get together. Lots of room for children to play. Lots of space to get some alone time when needed. Pet friendly. We enjoyed our stay and plan to come back next year.
The house gets the big things and the little things right. The kitchen was roomy and well equipped, the table seats 10 easily, the furniture was comfortable, everything was clean, the property was beautiful and well kept. We did not bother to drive to the state park, we just walked the paths on the property; the ponds were frozen but still fun to walk around. The meadows and woods were secluded and private, but the drive to Sparta was only about 20 minutes.
The property was awesome and enjoyed by the whole family.
We loved the peaceful setting and wide open space. The covered porch was perfect for our large family.
This property is exactly as described and pictured! We had a wonderful time with children and grandchildren and plan to go back next year!
We have been vacationing in the Sparta area for over 40 years and love it there.
The host was great to work with!!! Thank y’all for sharing your Blue Ridge Park home with us.
Jane and Clyde and family
We loved our vacation at Bluestone and would rent again in a heartbeat!!! The house and property met all our expectations and was absolutely perfect for our family. Julie was great to answer questions and keep us informed. Highly recommend this beautiful mountain home!
If you are looking for peace and quite along with privacy this rental is for you! The covered porch was so enjoyable to have every meal outside along with the comfortable rockers to enjoy our morning coffee with the view of the mountains. The owner and property manager was very prompt in responding to our questions and request for additional firewood. Great hiking location and abundant fish catching. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This was a super clean house along with great WiFi connection. We hope to definitely be back.
If you want a place that is truly private, tucked away off the Blue Ridge Parkway with acres and acres of trails, ponds, meadows and beautiful views, book the Bluestone. My family stayed for a long weekend to celebrate my dad’s retirement. We had the best time and built so many memories. I could sit on the porch all day and take in the beautiful view. And the kids had so much fun making smores, rolling down the hills, fishing, and playing yard games. This property is magically….truly special. We will be back!!
Beautiful, comfortable, calming. No one wanted to leave, the outdoor space was perfect and that is where we spent most of our time. The deck has the most amazing view. We did take a wander up to the hill above the deer feeding area and can I say it took our breath away. Thank you for sharing your home. If you not one for commercialized vacation destinations and appreciate unspoiled surroundings Blue Stone will not disappoint. The only suggestion is to be aware of the drive up to the house- we were all on HD Road Glides and it was a bit slick after it rained. Drive is steep and although packed gravel it did get a little muddy in the rain. We will be keeping this property on the list to go again. Loved it!
What a Beautiful and Relaxing place. The house and location is perfect for a nice relaxing getaway. Everything was as pictured and more. Immaculately clean with an open inviting living area. The outdoor deck and yard is great to sit and enjoy the view. Everyone loved the place and wants to plan a trip back
Julie was very helpful and flexible with us. The house is exactly the way it is in the pictures. Very big and spacious and well equipped with all the essentials. Beautiful property and landscape. The land and mountains and trails made for a beautiful family walk and wonderful pictures to create beautiful memories. If I had to mention a con it was only be that a few of the kitchen utensils are outdated already and when we arrived on-site the grill in the back was extremely dirty. Besides that I have absolutely no complaints. I would definitely recommend staying here and would even love to stay here again at another point In time.
Beautiful property with trails and amazing views! The house easily accommodated the 9 of us so we were able to have some great family time. Julie was quick to respond when we had questions and provided extra firewood as needed. We'd definitely recommend and stay again.
Thank you for a beautiful location, timely and thoughtful communication, and easy stay! The house has everything one needs to relax, go for walks, cook great meals and sleep well! We especially liked the candles, firewood, soft towels, rocking chairs and view!
only complaint was didn't find the instructions for the heat till Sat nite
loved the property and the house

About the host
Hosted by Julie Pitcairn
My grandparents were from Elkin and I spent my summers here. Both my parents are from NC and this place is my " favorite place to be".
Why they chose this property
The views and privacy are unmatched but at the same time a short drive into Sparta, Mt. Airy or Galax. The colors for the fall foliage are incredible. We love coming for the holidays and cutting down our fresh Christmas tree.
What makes this property unique
The porch and its views will blow you away! Close to Stone Mtn. Park for hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway is right outside your front door. Visit Mt. Airy and see where they filmed The Andy Griffith Show. Visit North Carolina Wineries! Summertime had Music on Main in Sparta. 60 Miles from Winston Salem and 90 from Charlotte. Come relax in the mountains
