Prepare to be awed by the geological wonders at the Natural Bridge and Caverns (deepest on the East Coast) at the Natural Bridge State Park, only 1 short mile away. A little over a mile from the Park, visit the Natural Bridge Zoo for animal education. See their video on www.naturalbridgezoo.com. Across the road, the wacky Dinosaur Kingdom II for great family fun. It's a strange combination of history and prehistory. Website at dinosaurkingdomii.com. Head north again on US Route 11 another 3.1 miles and find the Virginia Safari Park. Their website shows their many attractions and also, hours and rates on www.virginiasafaripark.com. Check out the penguin pool, tiger territory, petting area, walk-through free-flight aviary, and kangaroo area. Practically, across the road is the Pink Cadillac Diner where you can travel back to a simpler time when Elvis was king! You can't miss the authentic "Pink Cadillac" parked by the side of the road. This is also a favorite of the locals. Then only a hop and skip from the restaurant is Halcyon Days Cider Co. and the Great Valley Farm Brewery Co. Check out their websites for these relaxing, beautiful, and special places to chill, on halcyondayscider.com and greatvalleyfarmbrewery.com. Did I forget to mention the Natural Bridge Speedway on Dry Well Road just minutes away? See their website for special events at www.nbspeedway.com. Swimming and fishing are available at Cave Mountain Lake only 11 minutes away in Arnolds Valley. Also there, hike the trails and see the Devils Marbleyard. And if you didn't get enough nostalgia at the Pink Cadillac, see a movie under the stars at the Hull's Drive-In in Lexington. See what's playing and what's on the menu at www.hullsdrivein.com. What a vacation! Natural Bridge is also convenient to Lexington, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Buchanan, Buena Vista, and Glasgow for many more attractions. Note: please check for availability due to Covid-19.

This was such a fantastic stay. The house is so clean. The views are beautiful (especially the sunrise over mountains) The property is up on a hill which is lovely because it gives it more of a private feel. There’s a lot to do inside which is awesome for kids and on days when it’s not the best weather outside. I 100% recommend this property. Would absolutely book again.
We had a lovely time. The home, location, and setting worked well for us. Friendly and accommodating host made the trip even better. Huge thanks to the host! Beds and furniture were comfortable. I wish we had more time there.
We had a great stay at the place. We came down for a wedding and it was less than 10 minutes from the location. I recommend the market up the road for lunch.
My daughter and loved the property, the amenities, and location! Being nestled between Natural Bridge and the Blue Ridge made access to great hiking extremely easy. We loved the ping pong table, the pool table, and openness of the floor plan. The kitchen had everything we needed for dinners in, but Lexington proved to be really fun for food too!!The hosts were very communicative and even provided detailed handouts via email prior to arrival!!All in all, we loved it!!
Property was exceptional. Great location for everything we wanted to do. Host had atleast one of everything you may have needed or forgotten. Will stay here again.
Great stay at super charming house in a great location
Exactly as advertised and had everything we needed and then some. We skipped a hike just to enjoy the house a bit more. Phyllis and Melvin were excellent hosts. Check-in and check-out couldn't have been easier.
We had the best time at this incredible house- it had literally everything we could have needed and then some! Spotlessly clean, exactly as described, easy to get to, and so much to do! Best vacation rental we’ve ever had! Be sure to check out the Natural Bridge General Store just around the corner!
We flew in for Liberty Graduation. Great house, beautiful views, quiet area, awesome host!! We had time to hike to Lace Falls and see the Natural Bridge. Must do! We also ate lunch at NattyBs General Store just down the road. Great people; Great store!! You want to stay here.
This is the best house we’ve stayed in. Comfortable and homey. Great place to relax. Close to the Natural Bridge and several great local dining places. The game room was great for the rainy times. Beautiful views. We enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property
We have lived in this area all our lives. We have admired the house and the setting for years. We never dreamed we would someday own it! When the chance came to buy, we were delighted to be able to make the purchase. It was a dream come true!
It is a beautiful house and we have furnished it with love. The former owners took good care of it and we are carrying that tradition forward and striving to make it even better!
The close proximity to such great adventurous, historical, geological, and magical spaces make it a natural as a vacation rental!
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, two of our greatest founding fathers, have walked these same landscapes and were awed by them. As well, many people from around the world have been attracted to, and visited this beautiful spot. Their curiosity is well-founded!
Here, the Shenandoah Valley narrows in this special place, bringing two ancient mountain ranges close to provide breathtaking views! This landscape cradles special, river-rich, inspiring natural geological spaces for all of us to treasure and enjoy! Do not miss this journey!
What makes this property unique
Beautiful view and park-like setting, close proximity to many historical, interesting, and fun spots to visit.

All new furniture, mattresses, bedding and towels, bought in 2020. Clean, comfortable, sanitary, and restful!
