Galax Vacation Homes

This picture was taken on Main Street in Galax, Va. These are fiddles that spell "Love" in four glass shadow boxes beside a music store called Barr's Fiddle Shop which has been in Galax for 40 years. Fiddles are one of the main instruments that mountain music is based on. When this music first started it was called hillbilly music which then later was called blue grass. When I saw this driving down Main Street, I knew that I wanted to take a picture of it because of the musical aspect and the history behind it. Because I have had a lot of experience of the Appalachian mountains, bluegrass is something that "characterizes a mountaineer", especially the older generation. This picture represents the love that mountain people have for this musical entertainment. This is shown through the annual Old Fiddlers Convention which occurs an entire week in August for the past 82 years. This event gathers thousands of people from all over the world who all share the love of Bluegrass. #appalachianechoes

Experience nature, right by Hillsville, Va. a few ft from a stocked creek.

Hillsville

"We had a lovely stay! The creek and the area is beautiful. Lots of firewood was provided so we sat out with a fire both evenings and really enjoyed cooking on the pellet grill. Our dog had a great time. We were cozy warm inside and enjoyed hearing the creek at night. There were people staying at the campsite nearby one night and they were great neighbors. Lots of various provisions already there and everything you might need to cook."

Top Galax Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn and Suites Dobson

10/10 Excellent

"Yes! Spotless Room! Nice staff. Coffee maker!!"

Sleep Inn Wytheville I-77 and I-81

10/10 Excellent

"My family has stayed here several times. The people are so friendly and kind, the hotel is always clean, and the breakfast is great! (Good coffee, plenty of different creamer options, teas, waffle makers, oatmeal with toppings, eggs, biscuts and gravy, cereal, etc.) Bed was comfy too. I also accidentally left my night light in my room and the staff found it and called me with in minutes of my departure, to return it!"
