About this property

Spy Run Hideaway is a 1/2 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway & pet friendly!

Spy Run Hideaway is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that is quiet and secluded on 17 acres that is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains full of wildlife. An experience here welcomes you to the serene mountains that include unlimited hiking trails, fishing at Montebello Pond, trout streams, vineyards that have wine tasting tours, and breath-taking rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Route 56 is well known by bicycle enthusiasts. Enjoy spectacular views and serenity from our large covered front porch where there is a gas grill and foosball table for family entertainment. The night sky is perfect for stargazing. Not to mention the peaceful evenings you could spend by the fire pit relaxing.
20 minutes from Dollar General Market which offers food and much more 30 minutes from downtown Lexington or Staunton. Both offer an abundance of history, quaint locally owned shops, and fine dining restaurants. Lexington offers carriage rides through the historic town and is home of the Virginia Horse Center. You could enjoy free horse shows at the horse center.

Very nice property nestled in the mountains with many great hikes nearby…tons of amenities. We had a wonderful time for such a short stay. The porch was a wonderful place to have a morning coffee and gather for an evening together. Stars in the sky were amazing. Would highly recommend!

The house was very nice! The rooms were great and it was well cleaned! We loved the screened in porch, it was good to sit in of a morning. Only one note, make sure you buy food before you check in or else you are going back down the mountain to get anywhere near civilization.

Excellent location for our needs! Secluded, peaceful and quiet, but close enough to the Blue Ridge Pkwy making travel easy. The kitchen is fully stocked with whatever is needed to prepare meals. The front porch was my favorite part of the house, so relaxing and restful. Mattresses were comfy. The Host is easy to communicate with for any questions that arise and is open and appreciative of feedback and observations regarding possible corrections for future stays. Love the beautiful, natural area! A gorgeous part of our lovely state.

Excellent property! There were plenty of towels and bedding, and a lot of extras I wasn’t expecting, such as coffee, and a very well-stocked kitchen. Everything we needed was available. There were even dog bowls. The property was clean, and checkout instructions were easy. Communication with the hosts was excellent.

We had a wonderful stay at Spy Run! The hosts were excellent with communication—responsive, helpful, and easy to work with from start to finish.The house itself was beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. Everything felt thoughtfully put together, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. There was also plenty of parking, which was a nice bonus.One of my favorite parts was the porch deck—the swing and seating area made it the perfect spot to hang out and unwind.I didn’t realize ahead of time how tucked away the property is, but even though it’s deep in the woods, the way the home sits on the hill makes it feel open, peaceful, and very inviting.Also—major appreciation for the coffee and creamer already there. That next morning cup was not just enjoyed, it was necessary and may have saved the day.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
