Tranquility & cows

Natural beauty everywhere you look. The house is gorgeous and the guest house is comfy. The sunrise is magical here— and the variety of birds is delightful. Close to the warm spring pools for even more luxuriating. Beautiful all around. Bring groceries and a large water jug as grocery stores are not too close.

Magic in the Mountains

We just had the best weekend at The Bend House. It was grand in a cozy way that was completely comfortable and warm. Everything we needed was provided and all of us immediately felt at home. My favorite things about the house were the 360° mountain views, the gorgeous stone fireplaces stocked with dry wood for evening fires, and the large windows and French doors that graced nearly every room. It was too cold to enjoy the screened porch or stone patio, but I imagined how magical it would be in the spring and fall. Thanks for hosting us so graciously. We’re already planning our return trip.

Wonderful Family Weekend

The Bend House is a perfect location for a family gathering. The house is so comfortable and beautifully decorated! The kitchen has everything and more than we expected. We enjoyed walking over the property and down by the river. This home is very private but close enough to Hot Springs that a trip out is easy! The host was wonderful and responded quickly to my questions and was very friendly through her communication! We all talked about returning in the summer!!

Peaceful, clean and thoughtfully equipped home

The home was particularly clean inside and out. Even the windows were clean - and there are a lot of windows and patio doos with windows. Speaking of patios, there are three! My favorite rooms were the dining area with wood burning stove and the den with an exceptional library of books! The landscaping is gorgeous and drew hummingbirds and lots of butterflies. The kitchen and four bathrooms were stocked with extras including coffee, spices, paper towels, toilet paper and all toiletries. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

The comforting seclusion of the mountains, forests, fields and streams truly set this property apart. A 165-acre estate ready to be explored. Outdoor activities abound with hiking, biking, trout fishing or simply relaxing by the pristine swimming hole.

What makes this property unique

The 360 views of the Blue Ridge Mountains can be seen from every window of the house. The screened in porch in the backyard is the perfect place to relax. Lush gardens surround the house where you can find hydrangeas and other flowers blooming.
