Awesome!

We stayed at Spring Lodge for our niece’s wedding at Wonderlust Acres. The house was great, the porch was awesome and Pat and Rich were fabulous. When I called them to let them know we had gotten in early and was wondering if we could get an early check in they did not hesitate to accommodate my request. My only complaint is…our stay was not long enough.

What a special place!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this beautiful spot. We were with good friends, and we remarked over and over about what a special, comfortable place this was. Our hosts were very attentive, and we were so sad our trip was cut short by us leaving quite early the last morning, because we missed their offered homemade chocolate croissants ❤️ Do yourself a favor, and book this incredible Spring Lodge.

Beautiful home and location. More space than the pictures do justice. A bit off the beaten path, while also close to great towns like Boone and West Jefferson. Already thinking about coming back in the summer to see the gardens in full bloom.

Beautiful setting

My husband and I loved the Spring Lodge! Very clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, relaxing front porch - what more could you ask for! The woods around the cabin were so pretty and peaceful. Rich and Pat were great to deal with. We want to bring the family back when we can.

Weekend work trip

We made a quick trip to West Jefferson to help my daddy with some property he was setting up for a permanent RV. The Spring Lodge was a beautiful gem for us to rest and relax each night for more work! Everything at the house was spectacular! Love the open layout - just wish we had of had more time to rest and enjoy the tranquility of the space. Rich & Pat were the greatest!

We had a very quiet and peaceful stay. The house was beautiful and just as advertised. The front porch view was super nice and the sound of the creek in the distance was amazing. The property was a little further away from everything than hoped but we made due.

Great Holiday Stay!

We enjoyed our Christmas getaway in this lovely home! I’m a cook and a baker and they definitely had just about everything I needed to make all of my holiday meals and baked treats. I appreciated the Christmas greeting call from the owners and all of the prompt responses to our questions. The house was clean, well appointed and a very joyful space to spend time in. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful!

This home was everything advertised and more! I have used VRBO numerous times, and this was by far the nicest home I have ever stayed in! Fully stocked from kitchen to baths to bedrooms. Comfortable in every sense. And communication with the owner was effortless. If you are looking for a comfy home in the mountains, you need to look no further!

Beautiful property but just far from most attractions

the property is very nice and spacious. but unfortunately far from most attractions. Due to the hurricane damage Blue Ridge was closed off and most driving distances are 40 minutes plus. The other downfall was the trash situation. We were unaware that would have to dispose of the trash away from the house to the nearest landfill. Fortunately you have the option of the cleaning staff taking it for you at a Fee cost.
