10 mins from VIR! 3+ acres, SECLUDED treelined property, gentle slope to lake
Tucked up in the trees on 3+ acres, truly "get-away" from the everyday. Private driveway leads to a mountain house feel, when rainfall is at normal levels you will enjoy bubbling creek that runs the full length of the property. Enjoy coffee on the back porch, or unwind on the patio overlooking the woods. Walk down the gentle sloping lot for a true lake experience-fish, swim, kayak, or enjoy a drink on the dock viewing the entire Rainey Ridge cove into the main Hyco channel. Freshen up in the outdoor shower. Marina is only 1/2 mile away by land or water
Rocky Ridge is in a prime location, being only seconds off of the main rd, Highway 57. Convenient to VIR, it's ~ 8 miles or ~10 minutes to the racetrack. Less than a mile from Buoy's Grille, Hyco Lake Marina 2-3 miles from Ma Barker's Convenience Store & gas station, Dollar General for any of your basic needs/snacks/drinks, ABC store, and a "Twice the Ice" self-serve machine that sells discount 10/20 LB ice bags & filtered water.
Everything inside the boathouse is there for your use; floats, life jackets, bluetooth speaker, a couple of fishing rods, 2 adults kayak and 1 child's kayak to paddle up the cove towards the main channel.
We enjoy the indoor space almost as much as we do the outdoors! The upstairs, open floor plan is a great place for families to gather around the fireplace in the living room, over coffee around the kitchen table, or while prepping food at the butcher block island.
The rustic-finished basement is perhaps the best space in the house to enjoy - a wide open space, with Prince ping pong table, 65 inch streaming TV app; feel free to set up a card game, family board games, or a movie while the kids kick back in bean bag chairs. Some kids toys, books, and games will be available.
You can also utilize one of the 6 lockers that are in the basement to 'hang your gear' that was obtained from a former school. Feel free to place a sticker on it like the old days and leave your mark!
The downstairs bunk room is a nice, cool room for a group to snooze, and the bedroom across the hall is more like a 'cave' with a built in desk to use for work or placing your computer/electronics.
Wi-Fi equipped and live streaming apps on the basement TV - but as much as we can we truly use the time away at the lake to "digitally detox."

Had a very nice time and would go back but we had a few minor problems.1. Not enough towels for 5 people2. Thermostat was preprogramed and we had to continually reset when it got cold.3. Oven doesn’t work very well.Im not complaining, just pointing out some problems. As I said, would go back next year if available.

About the host
Your host
We are from Virginia and North Carolina and Love being at the lake but with kids activities filling up many weekends. We are now opening up our home on VRBO! We have rented it sparingly over the last few years on AirBNB.
Why they chose this property
Secluded, private road
What makes this property unique
3 + acres! In a cove that’s pretty quiet especially during the week. Weekenders in summer on other docks may be on site and enjoying water, our docks are a bit close to others
When the rain falls at normal levels, we have a creek that runs almost the length of the property a private entrance going down a hill, and in spring, summer, fall months it’s almost a “treehouse” type experience from the back porch
