Close to town, the college and a beautiful serene surrounding

Outstanding privacy given its close proximity to downtown and UVA wise this beautiful ranch, 3 BR, 2 Bath house is all your large family needs for a wonderful stay in the lush Virginia countryside. Large living room for gatherings, piano, TV, internet for entertainment. A comfortable front deck and covered porch provide outdoor dinning opportunities or just time to view and relax among the deer, meditation pond and peaceful views of an endless meadow without close neighbors. As per popular request we have added a large BBQ, an outside firepit, basketball goal with balls and other outdoor activities including corn hole and a fantastic tree swing.

We have a three night minimum stay but would possibly consider two nights to previous renters or under special circumstances. Its a large property to be having folks only staying two nights. Please reach out if you would like to review.

We can support special events as long as the overnight guest count is not exceeded. Special events will require a bit more cleaning fee and a few basic rules to follow, please reach out to discuss.

Perfect Location, Wonderful Space
We were at this home for a week, and the size of the property allowed us to spread out and have plenty of room for everyone. The deer in the yard, the amazing star gazing, and the mountain bluebirds made this a mountain top retreat really special. This was our second trip to the property, and we were so relieved it was available for our trip!

Disliked: Amenities
It was mostly nice. We had a hard time adjusting the heat. But after I figured out how to turn the fan on automatic it was okay. The bed in the master bedroom was terrible. Everyone likes sleep number bed nowadays. I never slept a wink while I was there. The refrigerator had been written up before we got there and still had not been fixed. It freezes everything you put in it. Unacceptable. The yard was partially mowed. Very high grass where you stepped out of the car. One rail on the porch deck was very loose and dangerous to lean against. And let's not forget the spider on the bed in the bedroom and all of the spider webs hanging from the eaves around the house. Terminix might be a good idea. I have a prosthetic leg and a handicap shower would come in very handy. I actually felt that my $ would have been better spent at the Best Western. That's where we plan to stay next year.

The house was great. Dated, as other reviews say, but absolutely spotless. Everything was just as listed and very comfortable. The back yard area was wonderful. So nice to come in from work and relax out back while watching deer and bunnies play! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if in the area. The host was responsive and always made sure all was good!

Wonderful Stay in Wise!
We had a wonderful time in Wise. The house was exactly how it was described. There were a lot of little touches that made it feel like we were staying with family- extra blankets on the bed, trial size toiletries, and things in the kitchen you might have forgotten. It was a great stay!

Great time & Great location
We were in Wise to watch my daughter play softball but Mother Nature cancelled our games but we did get to see a UVA Wise basketball game which was awesome. House is a mile from the school so super convenient. The house was clean, and we were quite impressed with all the 'extras' that are not typically part of a rental house. It was a chilly weekend but we loved looking out over the beautiful lot. It was a great stay and we will certainly book again !

Wonderfully Convenient, Beautifully Situated
This property is a wonderful throwback to the home I grew up in. While it is not updated with new colors and such, it is clean, warm and in very good shape. The owner and their people could not have been more accommodating. You are close to everything, yet given the acreage, somewhat secluded. I will be back as much as they will have me.

Nostalgic country home
This property was amazing for our stay. The seclusion is nice, yard is big and we also experienced wildlife. We love the covered porch. We spent the evenings playing board games and just talking around the fireplace in the living room. The only reason I did not give this home for stars is because the mattresses and all of the bedrooms were really firm. So much so that I had an achy back each morning. lots of extras are included by the owner such as linens, pots and pans, and there was even some food in the pantry (a few little things). Close to the city of Wise and other surrounding attractions. Will definitely stay again!

Home away from home
Our group was three adults and three kids (6,7,9). This property was perfect for our family to spend time together and it also offers plenty of private spaces. The kids loved playing outside (they all said the tire swing was their favorite). The smart tvs were convenient for movie night (even when the kids wanted to watch something different, there’s plenty of room for that too). The kitchen had everything we needed and was well organized. I had to work remotely part of the time and I had no issues at all with internet speed. Family vacations can be hectic even when they are fun and this house really made our week easy and relaxed. The kids didn’t want to leave. We were in the area to visit friends and see the sights, every place we wanted to see was within an hour or so of the house. You can tell they take a lot of pride in the guest experience here. Just fantastic and we would love to come back on a future visit. It is an older home but I absolutely love the style of home and it has stood the test of time. Nothing dated about the experience! Check in and check out was easy, great communication.
