Comfortable house on a country road running through Jefferson National Forest, about 10 minutes from Appalachian Trail, 30 from Roanoke -- like staying in a cabin but with better facilities. Nice patio area with Christmas lights and enclosed structure you can sit under to stay out of rain or sun, next to a rushing steam you can see and hear from inside the cabin. Lots of birds, great for sketching and painting. Don't miss the trail through the woods along the stream. Make sure not to run the microwave at the same time as the bathroom fan, but when that tripped the switch, Sean immediately responded to my message and sent someone over to fix it in minutes. Highly recommend.
