    CREEK: feel free to explore!

    FIELDS: The field behind the home to the tree line is yours to explore. You may on occasion see a farmer coming up the driveway or working in the field.

    Due to its remote location, there are a few things to keep in mind:

    *The WIFI works well, but it is not quite strong enough for consistent streaming. We recommend downloading anything you'd like to watch ahead of time, casting from your phone, etc.

    *Cell phones will work well when connected to the wifi.

    PARKING: there is plenty of parking on the gravel driveway for vehicles of all sizes (boats, RV's, etc.)

    MOBILITY: For any guests with mobility issues, there is a side door that can be used to eliminate any steps into the home.

    PETS: We allow up to 2 well-behaved dogs per stay for an additional $100 fee per dog. Here are the requirements:

    Dogs must be up to date on flea & tick treatments (proof provided upon request)

    Dogs are not allowed on the furniture

    Dogs will be crated when owners are not present

    GUESTS WILL HAVE USE OF THE ENTIRE HOME! You are likely to see a farm worker on the driveway or in the field on occasion, but the farmhouse will be yours.

The home was absolutely breath taking on the inside!!! It also had everything you would need to prepare a meal in the kitchen with a open concept. The entire house was clean from top to bottom and The host was amazing. My daughter was graduating and they took time to hang a congrats graduate banner, it was so beautiful. They also baked us some cookies with a warm welcome note. If you're into nature they have a trail close by that my sons went on a hike and enjoyed. They also have a awesome patio and a beautiful deck you can go outside and enjoy. I would definitely stay again.

Our host’s kindness and attention to detail stood out most. He went above and beyond to help us with everything — from recommending local bakeries for our wedding cake to suggesting nearby hotels for our guests and sharing everything we needed to know about the area. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches that made our wedding weekend feel extra special.

Wonderful country setting. An older house that has been completely refurbished but retained its original charm. The kitchen and great room have windows all around so you can see the wildflowers and butterflies up close as well as the mountains in the distance. It’s easy to get to and you see no other residences from this house. It has a rooftop deck that’s wonderful as well. Plenty of space for my family, and it was incredibly clean when we arrived.

The house is beautifully renovated with decor worthy of a Southern Living spread! Gorgeous views of mountains and flower gardens. Pretty pond for fishing. Close to lots of local things to do: Safari Park, Natural Bridge, Blue Ridge Parkway, and quaint downtown Bedford where we spent a rainy day exploring the shops. Easy drive for any type vehicle. No four wheel drive needed. Highly recommend!

Amazing house in a stunning setting. It is rare to stay at a VRBO where the pictures truly don’t do the house and location justice, but this one exceeded our expectations on all levels. From the incredible kitchen, to the multiple wildlife viewing areas, to the expertly curated furniture, comfortable beds and entertaining areas, this house delivers a premium experience. The serene, pastoral setting with Terrapin Mountain as a backdrop is just stunning….we have stayed up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it doesn’t get better than this. The hosts are friendly, easy to reach and definitely go the extra mile to ensure their guests are happy and well pampered. Highly and thoroughly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

Highly recommend staying at this gorgeous home in the mountains! It was clean, cozy, and so relaxing. The massive wrap-around porch with rocking chairs was serene and peaceful. Huge open area in the kitchen and family room allows for entertaining and hanging out while experiencing the beauty all around you. The three bedrooms were very spacious and the rooftop lounge area was enjoyed by all of us. Driving distance to Liberty University is about 35 mins but a beautiful drive. Only thing I would mention is there were a lot of lady bugs inside upon arrival but that is to be expected this time of year and was easily taken care of and did not alter our weekend at all. Host was easy to get hold of. Definitely would stay here again and hope to soon.

A slice of Heaven

Rest, relaxation with top notch care! Pulling up to the house was like a picture in a postcard! Then walking in and seeing the class of 2025 decorations was the cherry on top!!! Jeffery was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Our only suggestion would be to add blinds to the upstairs bedrooms but outside of this was beyond perfect and we can’t wait to come back soon!

Amazing Mountain Retreat

This house was everything we could have asked for and more. The location was amazing. It was secluded at the foot of the mountains, which made for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It was quiet and peaceful. It was also centrally located to area attractions, such as, natural bridge, VA safari park, Lynchburg, and the natural bridge caverns. The house was very spacious and extremely well appointed especially the kitchen. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax. Having a house of this caliber certainly made our trip much more enjoyable.

I left a piece of my soul at this property on the front porch. Lovely location and the place was spotless and updated. We will be returning. Must rock on the porch again to the whisper of the weeping willows and see the stars at night—the view of wildflowers while you wash dishes in a five-star kitchen is unparalleled. If you choose this property, you aren’t choosing a house for its proximity to a Walmart or the many choices for food delivery. You are choosing a first class rental for tranquility and natural beauty with finishes that also make your bougie side happy.

A beautiful home in a quiet location

A group of girlfriends and I stayed at this home from 9/30/22-10/2/22. It was the weekend that the remnants of the hurricane hit our area and it was raining non-stop. But that did not damper our stay one bit. The house was perfect for being stuck inside all weekend. It's large, so everyone had ample space to be alone if needed, lounge, dance, play games, etc. The kitchen was by far my favorite part of the home. It is a chef's dream! Everything you think you might need, you'd find there. Even things I don't have in my own home. And that gigantic island in the middle of the kitchen was my favorite place to gather with my friends. Sitting on the patio or the deck, soaking in the tubs, or staring out at the mountains (or cows!!!) off the deck was just so serene. I did explore some of the grounds while wearing rain boots and a poncho and it's just beautiful. I highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed.

A magnificent stay

We had a fantastic time at Terrapin Mountain! We felt like we were living in a photo shoot for an magazine. Bright, light and cheerful. The huge kitchen had many thoughtful extras, from the soda stream to the well stocked chef tools. Every window beautifully framed the stunning flowers or mountains. We enjoyed the second floor deck overlooking the pastoral scene, both day and night, as the stars were so clear and bright. The happy cows even had adorable calfs that frolicked and played. The two bathrooms were luxurious, and both had stand alone soaking tubs, as well as elegant showers. The sheets were so soft, and the bed itself was perfect. The WiFi was sufficient to run our predownloaded Netflix shows. This house was so lovingly remodeled. The blend of old and new was harmonious. While there were only two of us this trip, this house could handle a larger group easily. This is a rural area, so we would encourage you to plan your meals more than you would elsewhere, as it is a bit of a trek to a grocery store. The hosts were terrific too. They were very responsive when an issue came up, and fixed it with great speed and care. We were very impressed. We look forward to returning with friends soon!

This property is clean, beautifully furnished, comfortable and in an absolutely gorgeous area of Bedford County, Virginia. Sipping morning coffee on the front porch, while listening to the sounds of birds was nothing less than heavenly. If allowed, I would award this property more than 5 stars.

Great ... until something goes wrong

Nicely renovated 18th century farmhouse in a great rural location. Spacious and airy with lots of windows and a rooftop deck. Kitchen well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, with new appliances. Lots of couches and chairs and a big dining table. We contended with an increasingly strong foul odor throughout the weekend we were there, apparently coming from a taped-up refrigerator in the entryway mud room. It was noticeable at the dining table adjacent to the mud room and we could not find air fresheners or candles to mitigate the smell. I attempted to contact the owner (through the "We're always here for you ... 24/7" customer service I paid for) but did not get a response until we had returned home. A disappointing downside to an otherwise enjoyable weekend away.

So Amazing !

I have never used the word amazing so many times ! From the minute you pull up to the farmhouse and walk up to the front door it’s already amazing . Once you step inside it’s just a beautiful view to take in . Everything is clean and perfect . Loved the welcome basket of treats and loved the book of information about the house , restaurants , hiking and other attractions . The field in the back and watching the cows ! The upstairs deck - amazing ! The company that handles the renting - made everything easy and totally stress free ! Will definitely tell others about this house and hope someday to return . A most peaceful place to be !

Dream stay for hikers, bikers, kayakers, and chefs

This beautiful property sits at the foot of Terrapin Mountain. Avid hikers can walk out the door and walk to the trailhead. (Be forewarned: it is a serious hike!) Any anyone can enjoy Terrapin views from the deck, living room, or kitchen. Speaking of kitchen, this house is a chef's dream. It wasn't just well-stocked; it is better outfitted than our home kitchen - and we love to cook! We brought our ingredients so that we didn't have to find a grocery store - and feasted. This home is 5 miles from the lowest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway, where it crosses the James river. I didn't look for drop-in points for kayaks since we didn't have ours with us, but imagine that there must be nearby locations. We'll plan to kayak next time we come back. The nearby hiking is excellent. Otter Creek Trail (at the James River crossing) is short, easy, and beautiful. Thunder Ridge (a few miles south on the Parkway) is moderate, and offers great views at the trail head and from Apple Orchard Mountain. Speaking of Apple Orchard Mountain, it is the highest point on the Parkway - which means that cyclists can do the 12 mile ascent from the lowest point on the Parkway to the highest point - and then descend again. The road is beautiful, and there are many vistas along the way: highly recommended. A few final comments on the house: It is well-designed for rest and retreat. The ONLY television in the house is upstairs facing a love seat. The beautiful dining table can comfortably seat 12. The living room is bathed in light by floor-to-ceiling windows - perfect for reading. The kitchen is open, inviting, and also bathed in light by counter-to-ceiling windows. The rooftop deck has beautiful views of Terrapin Mountain. Why would anyone want to sit in front of a screen when surrounded by this beauty? My hat is off to the designer/decorator.
