Secluded Mountain Lakehouse, Pets Welcome

Enjoy this beautiful and completely private vacation rental in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Comfortably Host 14 people in this 3 bedrooms plus bonus with 3 full bathrooms, and open Living Room/Dining Room with wood-burning stove. All front windows have stunning view on this amazing private lake and forest.
All pets are welcomed but must be disclosed in your booking message and additional charges apply. ($100 each pet, limit of two pets)

Hardly a day goes by without seeing all the wildlife this luxurious retreat has to offer after some strolling along the creek or exploring in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the perfect place for a get-a-way vacation with the family or friends on 50 acres of private land. The Lakehouse is supplied with amazing mountain spring water from the Artesian well. We provide a three-person canoe to relax and explore on the large stocked lake. Due to the liability, no swimming in the lake is allowed. The whole lakehouse is wheelchair accessible. No firearms allowed on the property without approval from owner. No soil disturbance with any off road vehicles or ATVs. Open fires are prohibited, except in the designated fire pit.

Private Parking

Owners are available 24/7 by phone or email.

Located within minutes to downtown Galax, New River, New River Trail, Grayson Highlands. This area is famous for the Bluegrass Fiddlers Convention, the Blue Ridge Music Center and the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. 5 wineries within 30 minutes, 10 within 1 hour of this property.

The half mile long gated private driveway to the Lakehouse is part compacted gravel and part asphalt. Speed should not exceed 10 miles per hour. We recommend four wheel drive from October through March.

Gated driveway. Code provided within 24 hrs of check-in. Landscapers may access the property to perform their quick maintenance during your stay. We do our best to schedule around guests but they have to work on mother nature's schedule more than ours.

This is the first time we've rented a place to stay coming from out of state and this place could not have been more PERFECT!! The owner thought of just about everything anyone could ever want or need. It was very clean and comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, just PERFECT! Thank you so much for letting us come and stay while we attended family reunion events there in Galax. You made us feel so welcomed and you were so helpful with the checking in and checking out. The family members who came with us loved being there and said they would give it 10 stars review! It was so wonderful, and we hope that you'll let us come again some time. Thank you! Again, it was PERFECT!

Work trip

We stayed here last year when we came to spay and neuter in Galax with our mobile clinic and enjoyed the hot tub after long days. Slept well in comfortable beds, and cooked in well stocked kitchen and ate around the big table.

Very nice quiet location

When it says secluded that it is. Very nice & quiet to be able to watch the deer around the pond & listen to all the other wildlife. They only thing we thought was they could of brought in a little fill in some spots cause if you would go one side of the driveway in the dark you would of fell off to a deep hole

It was a beautiful house and location. It was quiet and very relaxing. The owner provides all the accommodations you will need plus a lot of extras. We loved the fishing from her canoe and caught and released several fish every day. We will definitely return.

Relaxing

The house was amazing as well as the location. It was so relaxing and serene. The only negative is the AC. It was in the 90's during our stay and the house stayed around 75 except for 1 early morning we were able to get it down to 71 by opening up all the doors and windows. Other than that it was wonderful.

Beautiful space

We met at this property for my mother’s Celebration of Life. It was lovely ❤️ the water and trails were soothing and a calm place to step away when needed. The bedroom situation is odd with all rooms other than the main suite being pass thru connections. We made it work and would have preferred doors on the bathroom as opposed to curtains 🤷‍♀️ The access road was difficult for some of our attendees but most made it. The kitchen set up was great for a gathering and well stocked with dishes and utensils. Thanks so much.

Great Getaway!

Our family wanted a getaway that was far enough away from everything but still close enough if we needed it. The house was exactly as advertised! It was super spacious and beautiful! The pond was fun to fish in while there was a fire going nearby! Lots of wildlife and relaxation! The thermostat was broken when we got there, so there was no heat, but communication with Alex was very consistent and it was fixed the very next morning! Same with the internet, a critter had chewed through the lines so there was no internet connection. We let Alex know and It was fixed the very next day! The property had everything we needed, including space heaters, and more and we will definitely be staying again! Loved it!

Beautiful location and house

Overall the location was beautiful and so was the house. The kitchen was a good size and the deck was very nice. The driveway was a bit treacherous and rough. The single floor was very helpful The house worked well for us with one exception. We were four couples and the one bathroom was between two of the bedrooms with no door, only a curtain which made it pretty awkward. We were also surprised there was no railing on the deck especially since there was a significant drop off. Because we were all adults it wasn't a problem but we could see some potentially serious issues if children were staying here.
