Welcome to Birdsong Corner! The main level of this bright and lovely brick ranch.
My husband and I have a lower/terrace level residence. Your porches, living space, and entrances are 100% separate from our sound-insulated apartment.
Step inside the sun-filled main level of this lovely house. In the summer both your front door and carport entrances are surrounded by vibrant flowers. Settle in and make yourselves at home!
Your entrances, porches (including the propane fire pit), and all living spaces are fully separate from our terrace-level apartment residence.
Our neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful, you'll enjoy a relaxing day on the porch, and a sound night's sleep ... use the light-blocking cellular shades and Dohm sleep machine or small fan to sleep-in, or open the windows to let in the mountain air, bird-song, and sunlight.
You have full access to the lovely main level of the home, aside from a storage room.
Two bedrooms (first offers one queen bed, second offers two twin beds, each have space for the *Pack and Play* available upon request).
Please note that we launder all sheets, blankets, AND bedspreads between stays. Your comfort and well-being is our top priority, so you will rest in 100% fresh, clean bedding.
We provide extra bed and bath linens ... light and luxurious, all fresh white, with dark cloths for makeup removal.
The kitchen is fully-equipped including glass-top stove/oven, microwave, coffee, and full-size refrigerator. The main living area is open-concept, flooded with lovely sunlight, and features a 65-inch flat screen television.
We are both artists, so you'll be immersed in our original artwork. Your own private gallery-stay! You'll find local art venues in our welcome folder.
When you're ready to get outside, follow the sidewalk for a 25-minute walk, or a 2-minute drive to downtown Bedford, Virginia, where you'll find all the conveniences of the world's best little town. Among them ... antique shopping, sweet coffee shops, city parks, a watch and clock museum, a knitting shop, a holistic foods and remedies shop, and a genealogical research library!
We're a 10 minute drive from the National D-Day Memorial (open daily 10-5), 15 quick minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and about 30 minutes from Smith Mountain Lake. Claytor Nature Center and the Sharp Top trail head are both just 10-15 minutes away! (And just 20 minutes to the beautiful Falling Water Cascades hike).
After your adventures, grab a 28-inch Benny's pizza to enjoy by the cozy new propane fire pit, or cook a four-course meal in our fully-equipped kitchen. Read a book or watch for deer in the cool of the carport, or spend the evening star-gazing from the deck (or better yet, grab some blankets and take in the night sky from our safe and spacious yard, portable telescope provided!)
Our neighborhood is beautiful for walking and biking, so feel free to wander the streets, and even walk to town for breakfast (Thursday through Sunday) or lunch (Tuesday through Sunday) ... we'll share directions and recommendations for good things to eat!
For a little exercise, take a ten-minute walk to get to "The Loop", and enjoy a 3 mile walk around Bedford, see some of its most historic locations ... feel free to ask the friendly locals who are also walking the loop for their recommendations, as well.
Whether you're in town to work, visit, celebrate, recover, relax, or explore, our lovely ranch home is a wonderful spot to land for a few days, unpack, and take a load off.
Guest Review: "The house is absolutely adorable! We felt comfortable and at home immediately! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the yard was perfect! We loved all the personal touches and lots of information about the local things to do. We will definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area!"
