Perfect Out of The Way Spot

Not that Ava is a busy area but the location of this property as described and on the edge of town. Our stay was very quiet and full of nature. We saw deer each day in the field across the road and the neighbors yard and there was a bunch of squirrels in the tree next to the house. Very peaceful to sit and watch them with my morning coffee. The home is perfect for a couple days or longer. I cannot think of anything they did not accommodate for. Hulu for streaming entertainment. We loved it and will be back every time we are in the area to visit family.

The view was amazing

Just out of town with an amazing view. It wasn’t quite ready when we got there, the host was still cleaning. Which was kinda awkward but she was very apologetic about it and made a trip back to bring us sheets for an air mattress. Overall a decent stay.

About the host

Hosted by Farron Shortt

Hi I'm Farron
I've owned the Ava House since 2008
It was always the idea to fix the old house up. This is the original Farm house to the area land you see around you.
Over the years we have slowly remodeled the house and we still have a few things before we are complete!
It's a continuous work in progress.
In 2019 we set out on our journey of offering The Ava House as a vacation rental for area travelers and we have loved it!
We live about 20 miles West of Ava on a Cattle Farm. If you need us we can be there fairly quick.
While we are new to VRBO we have gained much attention on other sites and maintained a high customer satisfaction rating.
We can't wait to show you why The Ava House is the best place to stay in the area!
