Blue Ridge Mountain House: Sparta home with a view

The Blue Ridge Mountain House is located on seven hillside acres surrounded by nature. Enjoy watching wildlife and many birds from the wide porch or walking in the terraced yard. Private yet accessible, the home is located just minutes from vacation activities, such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking, birding, canoeing, fishing, dancing, golf, shopping, and music. Sparta, a short five mile drive away, provides grocery shopping, musical entertainment, local art galleries, and good food. The entire home is for guests to use. Even in rainy weather, guests can enjoy rocking, having meals, or relaxing in the hammock on the large porch. An office/work area is located in the master bedroom with access to printer. Guests have access to the large porch with gas grill that overlooks the Blue Ridge Parkway. In season, grapes can be gathered from the grape vine in the side yard. The terraced yard is great for walks or children playing. Seven acres of pasture surround the home that provide a great area for walks and exploring. A variety of games is available in the old fashioned ice box in the dining area. We strive for our guests to feel this is their “home away from home.” If needed, an office/work area is located in the master bedroom with access to printer. My local host, Tammy Crouse, lives nearby and is available if needed. Even though my home is in a rural setting, there are neighbors nearby but not too close. Entry to the Blue Ridge Parkway is only two miles from this home. Sparta, just five miles away, has a variety of activities such as Music on Main during summer Friday evenings, a Saturday Farmers’ Market, several art studios, specialty shops, and special festivals throughout the year. Local restaurants also offer a variety of music and entertainment. A vehicle is needed as public transportation is not available in our area. There is ample parking for 3-4 vehicles at my home.
