Entspannen Sie sich in einer ruhigen Landhaus in den Blue Ridge Mountains

I really did not expect such a perfect vacation spot! Imagine staying in a well-equipped, modern home that has everything one would ever need, and yet, displays the way Americans lived a hundred years ago! The grounds are exceptional. The wrap-around porch was a welcome relief for our tired backs and feet after a rugged climb around Stone Mountain. With hardly any traffic, a morning cup of coffee was greeted by birdsong and butterflies. A jar of peach preserves was graciously left on the kitchen table by the owner. I carried extra towels and cloths but did not need them. The home is stocked better than any vacation home our family has ever stayed in.

I will say that we did not cook anything in the home so we used very few dishes, etc. (even though there was an ample supply), but I do not believe there is a dishwasher. If that is important to you, you may need to check amenities. But hey, who had dish washers 100 years ago? The home also is cooled with a few room air conditioners. Our stay was not very hot, but our last night, we raised our windows in the downstairs bed room and was cooler than the first night. The living room TV worked well, and there are games, etc. for guests enjoyment. As I don't care for a TV in the bedroom while on vacation, I didn't miss one in the master bedroom. I know there were several TV's upstairs, but I don't think we were able to get them to work. The owners were very accessible, but the TV's were not that big of a deal and we didn't want to bother them so late at night, so we didn't. We have learned in the past that it is usually operator's error, anyway! So, if TV is really important to you, I suggest you try getting them working early on in your stay. Our stay was very short, but truly one to be treasured. The home is close enough to downtown Sparta that getting great food is no problem. We actually ate at The Pines Restaurant twice. The food was good and the staff great. We even heard live music downtown of Friday evening. And, a local country store has great ice cream. The scenery, more breathtaking than we imagined! There was already some fall colors showing...all in all...one of the best times ever!
