Cows!!! And amazing views

We had such a lovely stay here! The photos don't even do the views justice - or the proximity to the cows :) The trailer was spotless and very comfortable. 10/10 would stay again!

Beautiful!!

Stay was perfect! Loved the peacefulness. We were in town for a graduation and the seclusion and quiet was exactly what we needed to get away from everything. Enjoyed sitting around the fire pit. Has excellent wifi, especially for the area.

Relaxing

It was a great stay! We enjoyed the clean mountain air. The place was very clean and well stocked. We were able to cook our meals and we had everything we needed for our stay. The cows were fun to watch and the mountain views were great! Nancy even provided a dozen fresh eggs which were great for breakfast. We highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and Scenic Stay. Perfect for visiting the cideries/breweries.

The property is accurate to the pictures listed. We loved it. It's situated on a farm that's not near any sources of noise pollution. Nancy is very responsive to any questions or accommodations you might have. We were even supplied with an ample supply of firewood, so don't worry about bringing your own!

Great to get away from the hustle

The property was exactly as pictured and described. The location was great for running into Lynchburg or any of the surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay and waking up to see the cows grazing. Since we were in for Liberty University graduation and commencement ceremonies we would stay of a brief while and go back to Lynchburg. Having the solar lights on the property helped in the late evening when we arrived back. The dozen eggs were great... thanks for having us.

Relaxing getaway

Our family wanted a relaxing weekend getaway with an amazing mountain view and this property was it. I can’t express enough how CLEAN this house was. Not a spot of dust anywhere. It was unbelievable how clean it was. Everything you need in the kitchen was there. I appreciate the spices and soap. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper and paper towels. I also appreciate the extra towels left my the owner for the dogs. We normally bring our own, but it was nice having those as well since we came after a rain storm. It was the perfect place for a family of four. There were plenty of throw blankets for those chilly mornings. We hiked the Crabtree Falls trail and hung around the firepit. Thank you for a having wonderful house to stay in.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Massie

Host profile image
My husband, Grant and I farm over 250 acres which include cows, pigs and chickens. We love our place and want to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

There is no better view around. The access to the property is convenient even though we are in the country. Waking up in the morning to the mountains and the cows peacefully grazing in your front yard is truly an experience. The trailer has been outfitted with high end mattresses and bedding and furniture to ensure your stay will be a comfortable as possible. Near by there is a choice of fishing, hiking, road and mountain biking, breweries and wineries to try or just relax on the deck in comfy Adirondack chairs.

What makes this property unique

Stepping outside and seeing the mountains morning or evening is something few locations can beat.
