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!" Guest access Check-in is at 4pm. We offer self check-in using a keyless entry pad. The code will be sent to you shortly before arrival. You'll park in the driveway and enter through the side porch door. There is a shallow step at the door threshold ~ otherwise your space is step-free. Other things to note We are both artists, so you'll be surrounded with our original artwork, as well as that of other local artists. 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 3-minute drive to downtown Bedford, where you'll find all the conveniences of the world's best little town. We're a 10 minute drive from the National D-Day Memorial (open daily 10-5) and from Claytor Nature Center, 15 quick minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and about 30 minutes from Smith Mountain Lake. If you'd like to hike to the top of the mountain you see from the deck, Claytor Nature Center and the Sharp Top trail head are both just 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 beautiful propane fire pit, or cook a four-course meal in our fully-equipped kitchen. Read a book and 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 and very safe 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.
