Find Places to Stay in Independence on Airbnb

Terrific hideaway for home base or quiet R&R. The house is amazing, full of wonders past into present. Enjoy the porch, the quiet, the breeze. Amelia is great with communication and the house is exactly (but better) as described. Great for solos or several.

For a girls road trip, this was a perfect little home away from home. A true gem in a small town with so much history, you have the entire place to yourself but are only minutes from practical amenities such as gas as food. We particularly enjoyed the privacy off the main road and saw chipmunks and deer each morning. Definitely an older place but that’s part of the charm of historic places. We would stay again if in the area!

The best

This was my second stay at Granny's. It was the perfect home base as I explored the area and looked for a place I might buy as a permanent home. Tucked up and away from the road, you really get a sense of privacy - with the exception of the pond's occasional heron, a bald eagle flying overhead, or slow moving cows in the nearby pasture. Amelia was incredibly kind and helpful during our communications and interactions. Wi-Fi is good enough I could work remotely and end the day with the occasional Netflix binge. A truly special and lovely spot. Make sure to take a walk up the hill to get even more views of the rolling hills surrounding the area.

Great place. Our third visit and this time for 2 weeks.

We loved our stay here. I think we spent most of our time sitting on the front porch taking in the view, relaxing in the hammock, and enjoying the pond. Amelia went out of her way to make our stay wonderful!

Beautiful house and land. A+ host! Could not ask for a better, more relaxing place! If you are looking for a peacfull mountain getaway, this is the spot. Lots of great hikes, trails and swimming near by too.

As a person on the hunt for her own homestead, this place was 100% the type of place I aspire to one day have. The house is set far back from the road so you can’t see it, and passing cars can’t see you. The sound of cattle in the background and the occasional croak of a frog. A great porch to watch the clouds and appreciate the landscape. A field to walk in. And really good WiFi? I couldn’t have asked for anything more...I will say I had a very hard time finding the silverware but that’s because I’m a nincompoop (it’s very obviously on the kitchen table but I spent many minutes checking and re-checking drawers because I am silly).

This was our second time staying at the silo and both experiences were outstanding. There's so many ways you can enjoy your experience at the Silo. From quiet country serenity to soaking in the natural beauty hiking in nearby Grayson Highlands State Park, we had a wonderful time. When you step into the Silo you can sense the love and meticulous craftsmanship that went into building and decorating it. Karen is a wonderful host with so much energy and a great sense of creativity and fun that is reflected both inside and outside. We can't wait to come back again, and we're sure you will feel the same way too after your visit.

Karen and Bill are architectural geniuses! This place is amazing! Many thoughtful touches! Amazing 360 degree view of the moon! Will definitely visit again!

You may be reading all the reviews and thinking to yourself is it really THAT magical and lovely? And the answer is unequivocally, without a doubt 10000% yes! The property is beautiful and serene, the silo is stylish and unique and fun, and Karen and her family are incredibly welcoming and lovely! I can’t recommend this place enough. It was the perfect relaxing getaway. The story of how the place came to be is amazing and makes you appreciate it that much more. If you are looking for one-of-a-kind accommodations where you can unwind, do yourself a favor and book here. You’ll also have access to great hiking about 45 minutes away in Grayson Highlands State Park! We are already planning our return trip.

Great hospitality,super clean top notch rental ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you have stumbled upon this Hallmark gem you should consider yourself lucky and book immediately. Even the drive to The Silo is one that makes you take pause and soak in the open spaces. Upon arrival to our Dream Getaway, we were greeted by the most enthusiastic cats. Karen and Bill are the loveliest people who invite you into the magical world that they have created filled with fresh air, unmatched craftsmanship and a 360 view from your bed (and a balcony overlook!) make you want to cry from its beauty. The stunning hiking trail of Grayson Highlands State Park was gorgeous in the winter season with a frosted dusting on everything (and we are eager for our next trip back to see everything in bloom). There is a story and purpose in every cozy detail and we are so appreciative to have gotten to live the experience.

My husband and I stayed in the silo for a few days for a winter vacation and this place was just AMAZING!! Having the rays of sun wake you up each morning and falling asleep to the moonlight it doesn't get much better. The hosts are very welcoming and easy to chat with. The Christmas decorations made you feel like you stepped right into a hallmark movie which I love. The place is only about 20 to 30 minutes away from all kinds of shops and resturants. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to truely relax in the country side. We hope to visit again.

I've been staying at B & B's for over 5 years and have found Karen's Dream Rock Silo to be the best. The location, incredible view of they're creek, mountains, and the warm feeling of being "home" as you relax in your comfortable space, makes for great experiences in themselves. Karen and Bill made us feel like family. This was truly a hallmark experience.

This was my best Airbnb experience ever, the place was well designed and very detail was thought of very carefully. Plus, Karen and Bill were an outstanding hosts.

Karen and her husband have built a lifes work here and decided to share with others. They were the kindest and most considerate hosts and their spaces were cozy and very thoughtful. Thank you so much for sharing this special place.

Karen went above and beyond. When I first met her I thought she was extremely sweet. A few months ago I was trying to find somewhere to elope in the mountains and when I asked her about ideas she offered to let us have it there. By all means she is like family and I can't imagine my life without her and her Dream Rock Silo. My husband and I will always come back!

This is my second time back, and it will absolutely not be my last visit to Dream Rock Silo. And again, like I did in August, I stayed at the Creekside Bungalow. Sitting by the rushing creek on my favorite bench, steps away from the bungalow, provided such a restful sense of peace. This magical place has completely changed, for me, the definition of "vacation." When I am here, surrounded by mountains and incredible, pastoral views of countless acres of pastureland, with complete silence other than the melodic symphony of the ever-flowing creek, chirping birds, and winter's breath of chilled wind, my "me time" is more of a holistic sabbatical rest physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Grayson Highlands is one of several great hiking spots less than 30 minutes drive away. The Dream Rock Silo property is tucked away about a mile or two off the main highway, on great, well-maintained gravel roads, which also make for terrific early morning or sunset jogs or walks. My whole being exhales "ahhhhh" in pure, tranquil delight...so much so, that I have already reserved multiple trips for this coming year, even though, the easy commute is 5.5 hours from Chattanooga. Well worth the journey. Every. Single. Time.This slice of heaven, has once again set the standard of what a great AirBnB stay should be, thanks to the wonderful hosts, Karen and Bill, who consistently make me feel like I have come "home." I am, without question, grateful.

This has to be one of the BEST Airbnb’s I have ever had the pleasure of staying in! Karen and Bill have made a unique, cozy and beautiful space to share and we will certainly be back.

If you need a peaceful and relaxing getaway with a unique touch, Dream Rock Silo is the place to go. Karen and Bill are excellent hosts. You can see how much hard work and love they have put into their place. We appreciated them sharing their beautiful home. They were always available, quick to respond and provide recommendations, if needed, but also gave us our privacy. The Creekside Bungalow was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed relaxing in the rocking chairs on the porch and listening to the water flowing through the creek. There were also great hiking trails with incredible views nearby that we enjoyed as well. We hope to return to Dream Rock again soon.

This is a beautiful place to stay nestled in the rolling mountains of rural Virginia. Perfect place to be close to nature but enjoy a comfortable place to stay. Karen and her partner are super friendly and have made a really lovely spot with their renovated barn. We arrived late but they thoughtfully left us fresh eggs from their chickens and bacon so we'd have breakfast the next morning. The cows grazing nextdoor and the well landscaped garden and creek make this a perfect place to relax. There's also a short hike one can do on the property. Independence is the local town (15 mins away) and had a fun farmers market we went to. Karen was up on all the local events and had helpful tips. They also had a firepit with smores going that evening which was really lovely. Hope to come back!

Kare is a great host! She made us feel at home and part of her extended family. The room is great, has everything that we need, even Wi-fi ;) My family hopes to get back there soon as we enjoyed a lot the time there.

Karen is so kind, sweet and warm caring person. We had such a lovely and inspiring time at dream rock silo and can’t wait go back! Thanks for delicious strawberries, and eggs! looking forward to visiting again.

Karen and her family are amazing. They made us feel very welcomed and comfortable in their home. We will definitely return!

We had an amazing time in the rooster room over New Years, the place is lovely with plenty of little extra touches that enhance your stay! Our 3 year old daughter was so happy to feed the chickens, play with the dogs and cats and just be out in the lovely garden. We really look forward to come back in spring!!

Dream Rock Silo is literally what dreams are made of! Karen went above and beyond to make everyone feel special and have a wonderful time. So many thoughtful touches throughout that were just for us. Everything all over the property has clearly been well thought out and just so unique and fun. We loved it and hope we can book again if she ever has any openings after the word gets out about this magical place!

I've stayed on a flower farm in Maui and an oceanfront villa in Jamaica. I've seen some incredible sights but NOTHING holds a candle to what my family and I experienced at Dream Rock Silo this past weekend. The location was perfect, the grounds were breathtaking and the accommodations were gorgeous (and so thoughtfully decorated!) but the real magic of this place lies in the family behind it. I've never felt more at home or welcomed than they made me feel. I could write a novel about this oasis, but words can't possibly do it justice. Do yourself a favor and discover this getaway for yourself!

Karen is wonderful and the property is even more beautiful in person! The place was spotless! It was my friends birthday and Karen planned something special just as a thank you for staying with her. Everything was a hit and I would recommend this place to a friend. When people find out about this place, its likely they will stay completely booked and people will have to plan much further in advance than I did. Thanks again Karen and family!

The Dream Rock Silo is truly an amazing place inside and out. After reading the newly featured article in the local paper and getting the full tour of the place it really made us appreciate not only Bill and Karen as people but their story on how the place started and all the work they have put into it. Everywhere you look on the property you can tell they have busted their butts on making their dreams come alive. Their attention to details will really blow you away. The landscaping is beautiful with colorful flowers everywhere and the sound of the creek alone will make you feel so relaxed and welcomed. It took no time at all to know that we wanted to come back as soon as we could. If you are looking to stay at this masterpiece, don't hesitate to book any of the rooms because you will not regret it. It's a beautiful place with beautiful people who are masters at their crafts.

Really this is a Dream Place You have , neat clean locations , you are surrounded by nature ,fresh air , fresh water ,you would feel happy the moment you see the entrance of castle

Amazing space and beautiful surroundings. Truly a magical place, Caroline is indeed a superhost and her place was unbelievably catering.

Second stay at the falls house. A spa-like retreat that must be experienced. Cozy, amazing accommodations. Caroline is a gracious host & very easy to communicate with!

This place is truly paradise! The waterfall in the back is absolutely stunning & an amazing sight to look at. We literally sat in the chair looking out at the waterfall for hours and the sound of it is so relaxing! Definitely secluded, no cell service & no tv but it was absolutely perfect for us. Best weekend we have ever had and the most relaxing!! We will most definitely go back and suggest everyone to check this place out!

This space is pure magic. The quiet, the beauty of the waterfall, the deer that visit the yard are so special. Caroline has decorated the home in such a stylish but comfortable way. This is a great place for a romantic get away or even a solo trip for someone wanting peaceful solitude. We can't say enough good things about it. There are restaurants near by but we cooked simple meals in the kitchen and never left.

This was the most wonderful way to get away in the mountains for a few days. The falls were amazing and the cabin had everything needed to rest and relax. We will definitely be returning.

I booked this place for my parents to have a getaway weekend for moms 71st birthday! They absolutely loved it, as I knew they would. The told me the falls were just amazing and they loved the little cabin!

It is truly such an amazing little spot! Second time booking, will be returning again. Awesome house in a beautiful setting!

Wish I didn’t have to leave lol pictures didn’t do the views any justice something that can only be mentally captured. But highly suggest too try & capture it all. I love this secret hiding spot very peaceful will definitely be returning in the spring. Caught some snow so I couldn’t really enjoy the outdoors like I wanted too but the house was more than enough fun wasn’t bored not once even without any service. - p.s.: caught pretty good service in Wytheville about 40mins away from the home.

The House was Great property was very private with deer coming from the woods to drink out of the river. Even more beautiful in person. Only 1 bathroom and 1 large bedroom upstairs with 2 beds and a bunk bed. Since it was only my husband it was great. Would definitely recommend to others, and stay again ourselves.

Perfect remote, peaceful property. Simple stunning! Love it and hope to return some day!

Beautiful cabin on the waterfront. Love the open yard!!! We had a blast flying kites, bubbles, grilling and sunning in the porch. Would love to stay again!!!!

Awesome little cabin on top of a mountain with an amazing view.

If you want a place to decompress in Southwest Virginia this is an excellent place to do it. The views are excellent, the cabin was cozy, and the fresh air is hard to beat. Also if you're into geology at all there are some neat rock outcrops right in the front yard. Check this place out.

Photos do not do the view justice. Porch swing is incredible. Fantastic getaway. I hope to return soon!

If you want privacy, incredible views and a cozy place to come back to after hiking, this is the perfect place. I got a surprise snow storm while up there but had no issues and enjoyed myself during a much needed retreat.

I would highly recommend this air bnb. Host kept house very clean and had detailed instructions of the location. She answered my phone call and help with all questions I had prior to stay. Very sweet lady with an incredible place to stay!

The view here was breathtaking. I stopped in for a few nights while I was working in a nearby town. I would love to visit this location multiple times in the future especially on vacation!

Wonderful Cabin, just the right size. Everything you need for a secluded getaway. Amazing views!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It was clean, cozy, and the view was spectacular! Make sure you stop at a grocery store before getting to the cabin as it a good drive from the nearest grocery store and everything closes pretty early in the nearby town. I think it would be very convenient if there were a small welcoming basket awaiting you upon arrival. This could include things such as bottled water, coffee, and a few snacks; especially for those who are driving from far away and getting in late. There was a coffee maker and coffee creamer, but no coffee so we had to leave the next morning and drive about 45 minutes round trip to get coffee. This is obviously not a big deal and the host does say in the description to bring your own food. It is just nice when Airbnb hosts go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, which those items suggested above do and are relatively inexpensive. Other than that, the stay was great. Just make sure you come prepared!

Linda's place was awesome, and we were incredibly comfortable after a long day of hiking. She had thought of everything for the space, it was so clean, and we took her suggestion for a local place to eat, which was fantastic.

Perfectly laid out space. Very comfortable. Easy access to downtown or Stone Mountain

Great room with nice shower. Pretty new as all paint and carpet looked great. Linda gave quick feedback to our questions. Probably stay again when in that area.

Linda's place is really nice with a great view only a block from a nice park and 2 blocks from downtown. She is very accommodating and this place is a bit of country setting right within town!

Our stay at the barn was great. It was nicer than we expected. Very private. We didn’t see one person while we were there, which we loved😊 We were giving detailed directions and found it very easily in the dark which is good given its remote location. Would definitely go again!

Very relaxing, just what we needed.

Our recent stay at Joan's River View Getaway was our first trip using Airbnb. Joan is a fantastic host and made our first stay a truly effortless experience. Her place is amazing and she made the whole process a delight. Check-in/out was super easy. Joan provided us with very clear and concise driving directions, as well as great directions for entering/exiting the property. This little gem of a place is perfect if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, peaceful, opportunity to re-charge your batteries. Joan's place is very clean, neat, and tidy. The property is nicely secluded, yet you're only minutes from town should you need supplies, or if you're looking for activities. My husband and I enjoyed watching the little bit of snow that fell, the birds roosting in the tree near the porch, and the beautiful stars on the clear nights. The New River is just a very small walk away for the house so it would be great for those warmer months of the year! All-in-all we were extremely pleased with River View Getaway and we hope to stay again in the future.

Joan was quick to respond to our reservation and a needed change of date. The place was perfect for a child-free getaway, though kids might enjoy all the space to play outdoors. Loved walking along the river and in the field. Bed and pillows were super-comfortable. A fun selection of family games was provided as well. We'd love to return!

Beautiful stay. As secluded and peaceful as it gets! The place was very clean and the hosts were very friendly and provided great communication. Would definitely stay here again.

Can’t recommend highly enough. You’d be hard pressed to find a more spectacular location and the apartment is beautiful/extremely clean. It was hard saying goodbye to this unique spot.

Its the best air bnb i have stayed in to date, its beyond beautiful..i would stay here time amd time again, a must must see

Cool, rustic seclusion with great river views!

Josh's place was wonderful! The location cannot be beat, the space was clean and comfortable and Josh was quick to answer any questions I had. We will be back!

The house was exactly what we expected! It was very clean and very close to downtown. The beds were very comfortable and clean up was easy. We appreciate that there were towels, toiletries, and bedding provided!

Very nice place, very friendly host

Great place in a great location!

This is the perfect place to stay in Sparta. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and welcoming and located close to downtown. Josh was very quick to respond, helpful with local recommendations and made our stay enjoyable.

The storybook cottage is a wonderful home located in the heart of Sparta. The cottage was very clean and spacious for the entire family. The fenced in backyard is a great touch for kids or pets. Within walking distance to the Crouse Park, Farmers Market, and Main street that includes some great spots for coffee (Becca's backwoods bean) and dinner (Main Street Pizzeria & Taphouse was a favorite!!) . For about the same price as a room at the Allegheny Inn this is an exceptional value.

Hosts were quick to respond and made the check-in/out process very easy. The home was clean, centrally located, and had plenty of towels and cookery. This is an older house with the related quirks you might expect. I was there for business and hope to stay again next year!

We arrived to the cottage after dark but it was easy to find. The cottage was a great fit for us we enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit. There was plenty of space for us to relax. We were traveling with 3 adults and 2 teenagers there was plenty of hot water for all of us to shower. There was a farmers market that was open Saturday morning beside the house.

Nice views, cute and relaxing house.

A wonderful rental in a wonderful location! Danielle is a great and accommodating host.

It is such a beautiful location!

Stones Throw cabin was a wonderful place to get away from it all and unwind. We loved the watching all of the wildlife ( domestic animals included)! Danielle has equipped with all the comforts of home.

We had a great weekend here. The location was beautiful and quiet. The house was spacious with plenty of room for our party of 5 and our children loved running and playing in the yard. Was close to lots of great places to get outside and explore. Made for a very relaxing getaway.

Beautiful peaceful location! Very clean! A wonderful hostess that makes you feel so welcome. She has thought of everything. Directions made it easy to find. Will definitely stay again & recommend to friends. Even more beautiful than the pictures. Awesome place to stay for kayaking. Close to several boat landings.

This pretty cabin had it all- simple country charm; every amenity you would expect to see at home; comfortable beds; a lovely view of the countryside with its rolling hills; and enough wildlife to keep you entertained for hours. Located on the New River, we were lulled by the sound of the river as it flowed nearby. While not isolated, the property was quiet and relaxing. Eclectic restaurants were easily within a reasonable drive. If you like the outdoors, canoeing, kayaking, or fishing you are within an easy drive of three state parks, Grayson Highlands State Park, New River Trail State Park, and a short drive south, in North Carolina, Mount Jefferson State Park. Danielle provided good information for the surrounding area. Would I stay here again? YES, YES and YES!!!

This place was very quiet and relaxing for us. We stayed two nights and took in a concert at the Blue Ridge Mountain Center. I would easily stay here again.

Everything was exactly as stated in all the details about the cabin. My family and I were very happy with our stay. I recommend this cabin if you are seriously looking for relaxation, peace and quiet!

A wonderful cabin to relax and enjoy some relaxing time. The cabin had 2 full bedrooms, one bath and space for 6 to stay. The property is large, and the house includes a front and back (screened in) porch. There is also a fire pit behind the house. The kitchen has full appliances to cook if you choose to do so. The house has a TV with a DVD player and nothing more. It’s what you should do on a nice trip such as this: disconnect, relax, and have no use for WiFi of cell service. Communication was great, quick, and thorough. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a relaxing weekend. Hikes and outdoor walks are available in driving distance.

The cabin was an excellent place to stay and we look forward to staying again ASAP.

Great cozy spot to unplug!

Great place to visit for the weekend. Very relaxing, calm and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and the cabin was very clean. Kayla made our rental process and stay very simple and enjoyable.

Secluded cabin in the beautiful mountains! We saw deer, lovely sunsets, and wild turkeys! We loved grilling out and then relaxing by the campfire. Kayla provides many brochures of local attractions and this was so helpful for us to enjoy our impromptu “hurrication” as we fled from Hurricane Dorian. We would definitely recommend this cabin to those looking for peace and quiet and/or quality time with loved ones.

This cabin is absolutely amazing. It’s peaceful and serene with a screened porch and a fire pit. The stars are gorgeous without city lights. It had everything we needed.

My family and I enjoyed ourselves

Perfect getaway.

Enjoyed our stay, we will be back...it was a must needed house in the woods away from everything. The coffee and baked bread was delicious. Thanks for everything!

Great place for a quiet getaway. Super clean, everything was in wonderful condition! Will definitely be back!

We can not wait to come back!!!! WE LOVED IT!!!!

If you like fishing and or a quiet spot in the NC mountains this place is for you. Great location with a scenic walk down to the river. We will return.

This place is quiet and secluded but yet close to town. Make sure to take time to enjoy the fishing pond.

Our stay was exactly what we needed. Peace and quiet! Check in was super easy! The house was spotless and very cozy. The kitchen was stocked with everything a cook would need to prepare a good meal. I love cooking, the kitchen was awesome. He stocks good coffee to! I have to havCommunication with the owner was super easy and he replies fast! Even to a simple question about acquiring a trout stamp lol. I decided to get one! It would have been my luck to be the first guest to meet the local game warden haha! There is a past story there lol! Let's just say I learn from experience!

Our experience staying at River Hill Hideaway was wonderful, and exceeded our expectations! The home is secluded and in a beautiful setting...fishing in the pond, the short walk to the river with the rope swing that we all enjoyed (brought out the inner kid in us), and enjoying our morning coffee on the deck were just a few of our favorite things. The kitchen was well stocked, and we loved that towels and bed linens were also included. Having access to a washer and dryer after a day spent tubing on the nearby New River was also a huge plus! Joel was awesome and quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be returning guests!

Waking up and watching the 🌅 from the deck. We could not count all the cute deer we saw grazing out front 🦌 LOTS of natural light from all the windows. Couches were crazy comfortable. HotTub was sparkling clean. Plenty of fun board games and puzzles 🧩 Great Entertainment system both upstairs & downstairs. Horseshoe setup out front with grill and patio. Should I even mention the master walk-in shower and tub?! 🔥🔥🔥 Hosts even left us marshmallows and chocolate for s’mores 💜 A+++

The pictures don’t do it justice - it’s a very beautiful and spacious 3-story home. There is always something to do between the hot tub, games, and outside areas. We loved this house so much we decided to stay an extra day and I think that says enough! Zach was very helpful and quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again!

The space is lovely for a weekend off the grid. I finally got to unplug and unwind. I would definitely come back and stay again. There was a small issue my first day, but Zach had someone over to check it out in 2 hours. Everything worked out and Zach was a great host.

Our weekend at The Peach Bottom Lodge was perfect. The cabin is lovely and was even nicer than we expected. It's remote location is incredibly beautiful and peaceful, we felt recharged after our relaxing stay. The open floor plan made for a wonderful place for everyone to spend time together. The patio and hot tub were also enjoyed . A sweet and thoughtful touch - they left us a s'mores platter to use with the fire pit :) Needless to say, our kids were very happy as well.

Absolutely beautiful cabin in a nice, private setting. We saw lots of deer while we were staying there, and we were able to have a nice campfire while looking at the stars as well. The cabin was very clean and very nicely decorated, and had everything we possibly could have needed, including a nice selection of tools for the kitchen as well as games to play with the family. We stayed with our two young boys, but there is plenty of space on different floors and 3.5 bathrooms, so there would have been room to share with more adults or another family as well. We had to book last minute because of a family emergency, and the host was super understanding and very quick to respond. I would highly recommend this cabin and we hope to stay here again. Thanks again!!

Perfect place for a weekend getaway. Great hiking in close proximity. Very accommodating to us and our dog, loved the place!

Lovely cabin, quiet neighborhood, super clean and comfortable!

This place is remote, quiet and very relaxing. It's a pretty large space, the wrap around porch is great and the views were gorgeous. Definitely shop before you arrive as it is quite a distance from the nearest store. This place was a great value and we will definitely stay here again in the future.

This cabin was clean, had a great mountain view from living room and we loved the open floor plan. We were able to use our personal pass code for Netflix and loved the quiet gated community. The hill views to get to Grayson Highlands State Park from this cabin were beautiful. Loved seeing the New River not too far way from cabin. We recommend this cabin to anyone.

What a gorgeous location! Off the path but close enough to visit many places. Accommodations very clean. Had a great time.

Nestled in a quiet cabin community in the beautiful North Carolina mountains, My Little Cabin was a wonderful retreat from the noise and hustle and bustle of the city. No need to bring your own water... The spring water from the tap is cold, delicious, and better than anything out of a bottle. The wraparound porch is a true wraparound, and we spent most of our time sitting on the back porch, enjoying the gorgeous view of the valley directly below, and of the mountains as far as the eye could see. The area is heavily wooded and would be a festival of color during the early fall. We were there over Thanksgiving and the leaves had already fallen. There is a beautiful river that is a short drive or long walk away and it if you like to fish, it would be ideal. Even though you'll be in the mountains, you'll have the best Verizon signal you've ever had! But the cabin offers free WiFi and satellite TV, so you probably won't need your phone for much. In reality, there is so much peace and tranquility that you might not even want them. If you can, bring all the food you'll want for your trip with you. The kitchen is nicely appointed, including a full sized refrigerator, stove and oven, microwave and a coffee pot. There's even a toaster. You can go into town if you want to, but it's about a half hour trip through very steep and winding roads. The scenery is beautiful though, so it's a very enjoyable trip. We much preferred spending time in and around the cabin. We took our dogs with us and they absolutely loved the area. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin and would happily rent it again.

This was a beautiful place in and on the mountain.

honestly loved this cabin. I already want to go back!!!! :'( the views are incredible and the cabin itself it big and comfy. I look forward to coming back here very very soon

A great place to stay with a wonderful view.

We enjoyed our trip down got to spend some time with the kids and grand babies. This home has some wonderful views.

We would like to thank Kay for making our Thanksgiving a memorable one.The place was really nice and very clean, it has all the conveniences of home. We had a great time in Sparta and the surrounding towns. Thanks again.

This is the best bang for your buck in North Carolina. Definitely the best view from an AirBnB I’ve experienced! Clean home, quick responses, beautiful inside and out. I can not recommend this place enough, stunning!

A nice clean home with a relaxing setting. Kay is so responsive and helpful.

Quite, clean, and wonderful.

I arrived at 11pm and had to leave at 930am for personal reasons. So my time was limited. But overall great place to stay.

.

We really enjoyed our stay at Iboya’s place. She was very nice and welcoming. The location was perfect and everything was great!

I enjoyed my 2nd stay at Iboya place im working in the area and I rest very well. Would definitely recommend staying there uf you are ever in Sparta. Convient close to everything

I have most certainly enjoyed my stay .Im in town on working and really enjoy my stay in Iboya accommodations. Great hospitality and really nice family. I will definitely be back .

This is a very nice bungalow, not for the "tall" . Pictures do not do justice to the unique and personal style. Extremely clean! More room than I expected. Bathroom - Hot water with good pressure. Lots of blankets along with electric F/P heater to stay warm while sleeping, works great. Extremely clean.

If you are looking for a simple, homey private spot with basic accommodations, Iboya’s space could be for you. Mostly, if you want to meet some incredibly kind and very welcoming people, this could be for you. Last, but not least, if you want to stay with someone who is well thought of in the charming town of Sparta, this could be for you! If you are looking for luxury or elegant appointments, this may not be your place. Thank you for a special stay, Iboya!

Iboya was a wonderful host. Her place is very cozy and in walking distance of restaurants and shopping. We will definitely stay there again!

Probably the most unique house we have stayed at with Airbnb—enjoyed the cozy attic space! Iboya and family were very friendly.

Very friendly and inviting. Location is central and convenient!

Great hosts, beautiful space, quiet and private in a rural space but felt like a high-end hotel.

A lovely house to stay in for a weekend trip. It was the perfect size for our family of 3, and had everything we could have needed. Central to Galax and Independence, so it didn’t take us long to get where we wanted to go. Kathy was a wonderful, thoughtful host!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Kathy's place. It was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. We will stay there again soon.

Sweet and comfortable home! Location is the perfect blend of rural setting but within 10 min of Galax. The cows were fun to watch and only blocked the driveway once :) Plenty of supplies in bathroom and kitchen, beds are comfy, and wrap around porch is lovely! A great stay!

Amazing location, a perfect place to retreat and relax!

Evergreen Escape is a beautiful place to getaway. The home itself is very cozy with great amenities. We felt right at home with all the extra personal touches. The view is absolutely beautiful, and the hike is worth it! The view is amazing from the top of the mountain.

Great hike on property. Johnny was helpful when needed! Many thanks.

Incredible property! The hike from the house to the top of the farm has incredible views, although it is a tough hike for the inexperienced. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

I wasn't sure what to expect as there were no reviews at the time I reserved this location. I'm glad I went for it though! The house was spotless, which I'm a stickler for. Easy to locate with GPS. Gracious host. Great location close to Sparta and Stone Mountain State Park, but secluded enough we only saw the yard guys on Saturday. The house is basic, but very comfortable. This was not an issue for us but be aware that it's not a fully stocked kitchen (i.e. spices, large selection of cookware) but if you come prepared you'll be fine. There's also no dishwasher, again not an issue but some folks may ask. There is a Keurig with K-cups which was most appreciated. There is a portable fire pit which we enjoyed after getting wood at the Lucky station up the road. One of the best parts of this house is the ability to do a 500' inclined hike from the front door. Such a wonderful hike with stunning views if you make it to the top (I'd rate it a moderate level for most hikers). For those liking less strenuous walks, just walking to the end of the gravel road will get your heart rate up while still enjoying nature. We loved our stay and hope to be back again soon.

Quiet, clean, and newly renovated. Thanks!

Great place as an alternative to a hotel. Peaceful and one of the best views you are going to get. Very clean and comfortable. Great place if you are looking to take your dog. It is very rustic and value for money with a view like that.

Mary’s place is just like described. It’s peaceful and cozy. Check-in and out was a breeze.

Amazing view, peace and relaxing place in nature.

Beautiful and peaceful forest surroundings. The New River is nearby with excellent swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, and fishing. Nice place. We will probably visit every year.

Great place for a relaxing stay away from the noise! Beautiful view and gracious hosts!

We will absolutely be returning to this location! The view was spectacular and so calming. We unexpectedly did not get service (with AT&T) but not only did that help us unplug but our hosts came to check on us and were able to provide a personal hotspot! Mary and Andy are incredibly nice. They give you plenty of breathing room but also give you peace of mind with what’s in the area. They even invited us (with no pressure) to their home down the river to watch the sunset. Mary makes the BEST homemade ice cream. It was such a treat and really above and beyond expectation. The home we stayed in was clean and spacious. Full kitchen allowed us to pack a cooler and bring food for breakfasts and lunches (we explored for dinners). Home included basic such as a cooking set, plates, cups, utensils, etc. The deck already had chairs to sit in and there’s even a fire pit on site! Trails around the property are great for all levels of hikers. Some harsh inclines but they quickly become forgiving. Plenty of areas to stop and soak in your surroundings. We did see deer occasionally, normally off in the distance and they didn’t cause any bother. Overall great weekend and we look forward to booking another trip!

This was the BEST cabin I have ever stayed in. My husband and I are camping and glamping enthusiasts. We have visited many cabins across the US and this cabin is, by far, my new favorite place. The setting is absolutely beautiful. Quiet, secluded, yet close to town. The river is absolutely beautiful, and there is a perfect swing so you can sit and watch the river flow. We took a short walk one morning and enjoyed a visit from the neighbor's cutest (sweetest) french bulldog. The town of Sparta was right down the road. Due to timing, we were not able to visit this time around... But for future visitors, we highly recommend Muddy Creek Cafe (8 mins away) for some of the best local music available in NC. Stone Mountain was only 25 minutes away and we enjoyed an entire day of hiking. After a day of hiking 10+ strenuous miles, a hot shower and a warm bed are crucial. This cabin met those needs amazingly. THESE BEDS WERE SO COMFORTABLE! The pillows were comfortable. You know what? When can I just move in? I want to just live here forever. This cabin is just magical.

Amazing! This was our second visit to Marc’s place and we had a nice Valentine’s Day getaway! It was cold (in the teens) but the cabin stayed very cozy! We will be back this summer to enjoy the river and some fishing!!

Awesome place for a quiet weekend getaway!

If you want a place to turn off and take it easy, a place that is minutes from the best coffee shop on the mountain or nature is your thing. You have found it here. Marc is a super-host that has an amazing response time. Definitely will be making this a weekend hideaway.

Excellent getaway cabin! The area is peaceful and relaxing as you sit on the porch or river swing. Having everything readily available and on hand makes it very easy to not have to leave. Highly recommend for quiet vacation in the mountains.

The cabin was lovely, property is secluded feeling which was just what I wanted. The star gazing was lovely. Cabin was equipped with extra camp chairs to sit out by the fire or on the cover porch or gazebo. It was perfect for a birthday getaway for myself and boyfriend. We enjoyed our time together and the cabin was a sweet space to celebrate and enjoy nature. I did fly-fish and didn’t catch or see trout this time of year but the scenery was beautiful and I’m nearly as happy walking the stream and enjoying the scenery as when I’m catching fish. The heaters were plenty sufficient to warm the place while lows were upper 20’s at night during our stay. I would stay here again. Marc was quick to answer messages with questions as I was trip planning.

Wow. Absolutely wow. I’d give one star for accuracy if only because this stay was sooo much better than expected. So secluded and quiet, but extremely well appointed and comfortable. We couldn’t tell from the listing but there is a covered pavilion with a porch swing down by the river! Amazing. The cottage is very new and everything is clean. Would definitely recommend this stay again.

This stylish cabin is just as photographed. We enjoyed the contemporary interior and location near the babbling brook.

Mandy's home is spacious and well-stocked. Our teenage daughter loves to bake and found all that she needed to make pies, cookies, and cakes for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had extended family join us for a meal and there was plenty of room to entertain. The beds were comfortable and we walked to local restaurants and the grocery store each day. It was a great trip and Mandy was a flexible and accommodating host.

Such a beautiful home! Right in town, yet quiet and peaceful. Perfect house for large groups. Nice open spaces. Super clean with everything you’ll need. Mandy is great with responding to anything you send her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 5* all the way!!

Eight adults and two young children were very comfortable in Mandy's beautiful home. Parks with playgrounds were nearby for our grandchildren. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The people in Independence stores and restaurants were very friendly. The kitchen is very well equipped as each couple prepared delicious dinners.

Mandy Place was amazing! Beautiful views and all details fit the character of the home perfectly. Loved the big kitchen and all the large dining spaces. We would totally stay again.

Mandy is attentive, kind, responds quickly and is seriously the best host for which one could hope. The beds in the home are INCREDIBLY comfortable and are incomparable to those found in hotels or many other rental properties. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and the bathrooms are filled with plush towels and personal toiletry items. Independence is a lovely town chock full of welcoming and friendly people who will always have a smile at the ready. We really cannot say enough about the house, hostess and town!

Mandy was great to communicate with. The home is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely large spacious home! Better than pictured! Great location! Host was accommodating and helpful!

This home is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Scenic views in the backyard and a bright and sunny home. Mandy was super accommodating for my situation and is a great host!

My family of 3 enjoyed Joel and Mandy's place so much that we didn't want to leave! We felt welcome the minute we arrived when we were treated to homemade banana bread and pumpkin bread still warm from the oven. The place was spotless, the kitchen was well stocked, there was a nice entertainment center, the bedrooms were spacious, the linens and towels were new and luxurious, and the beds very comfortable. Joel responded immediately to any questions or concerns we had. We loved meeting and interacting with the farm animals, especially the alpacas! Joel's family lives directly above the rental space, and Joel was worried that we might be bothered by the overhead noise. We DID hear noise, but not between the hours of about 9 PM to 7 AM, so it didn't disturb us. I would highly recommend Joel's place, and if I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Sparta, I would love to stay there again.

We had a great time! This was exactly what we needed.

Beautiful property, spacious clean rooms and Joel is available if you need anything.

Nice place. Quiet and beautiful view

Joel's home was a great escape from busy life. The scenery, especially with the backdrop of fall foliage, farm animals, and a Christmas tree farm, would make anyone's stay a very charming one. His home was very clean with plenty of room and beds (too many for a group of 4), entertainment on TV, as well as a well-stocked kitchen. The home-made pumpkin and banana bread, fruit and coffee for the morning was a nice touch. I had a few questions about where to eat and what to see, and Joel provided quick and thoughtful responses to all of them. If you're traveling to the mountains and want a cute, homey place to stay, this is the place!

This was our second stay at Joel’s place, and we had another great stay. I stayed here with my wife and 4 kids, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The space is very comfortable and homey. The hosts also give you good privacy if you wish or are willing to interact with you and show you around their property (we haven’t done this yet but hope to if we stay here again). The check in is extremely easy and Joel is very responsive to any questions you have or anything you need. It is all around a great place to stay and Joel is a great host.

Will change the way you look at the world in a positive way. Heaven had to be near by, felt like the stay was Like a dream, did not want to wake up from it. If you are looking for a great place to relax, great family to be around, then this is it

Joel's place was right out of a travel agency booking company. It offered beauty. It offered quietness. It offered a homey touch. It offered adventure not too far down the road. And everything put together made a memorable time for me and my lady.

The cabin, Haven on River, is a great place. Amazing location, the cabin is sparkling, it has everything that you need for relaxing time.

This cabin was amazing with the views and how clean it was. Will definitely stay again

A beautiful, private and peaceful cabin! This was our second visit and I’m sure we’ll be back!

Beautiful place!!! Thanks for sharing your lovely home!!!

A clean comfortable place with lots of amenities and great view.

This place is off the beaten path. Very secluded. And has a gated entrance for that extra added secure feeling. The cabin is WELL furnished with all that you need. it is very clean and well kept. We didnt want to leave!!

A beautiful clean cabin nestled in a secluded spot overlooking the river. Ena was a great communicator and a gracious hostess. Her cabin is lovely with a great porch to enjoy the view. We can’t wait to come back for a longer visit!

This is most wonderful cabin! You would truly be missing out if you did not choose to stay at Heaven By The River. The cabin is pristine, the porch comfortable and inviting, the beautiful scenery welcoming, the swings and the fire pit by the river peaceful...we could go on and on. Book this lovely cabin and you will not be disappointed!

What an unexpected blessing to find this great apartment nestled in the countryside! Reggie was pleasant and helpful. This apartment was spacious and warmly decorated . The bed was very comfortable with lots of fluffy pillows. Horses and chickens and beautiful rolling hills add to the experience.

It is crazy that this was my Best stay at an AirBnB to date! I have stayed all over the country, including Vegas, Manhattan , etc. and this perfectly appointed, convenient and comfortable haven took the cake! I arrived very late to find a cheese platter and bottle of wine awaiting. Regina has thought of everything and during my one week stay I found myself finding excuses to make the quick trip back to this spot for a break and some relaxation! You will not be disappointed if you visit this great hidden Gem...however I will if you book dates I need l, as I plan to book my recurring quarterly visits exclusively at Reginas place! Daren

Very pleasant and easy to work with

Reggie's place is super: Cozily tucked into her house with a beautiful view of her field and horses. Regina was very helpful with our last minute needs and provided good information about what we could do in the area. I was there with two 11 year and they had a great time, proclaiming that they were ready to move in. Stone Mountain, just 20 minutes away, is a fantastic park. We went both days that we were in Sparta.

It is the basement to her home that has been converted to a 1 bedroom apartment. Just beautiful inside. Regina is super nice and it was a very pleasant stay.

Regina is an amazing person ! she has beautiful horses ! we felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay !

Regina hospitality is wonderful. The furnishing are clean and very comfortable. The room is actually the size of an apartment, is very private, with a separate outside french door entrance, looking over beautiful scenery. My son and I enjoyed the billiards table and relaxing on the leather couches. Stone Mountain state park was a very fun side trip. Thanks for recommending it, Regina.

Reggie’s place is awesome! Quiet peaceful and serene. Loved meeting this sweet lady and watching the horses in the field. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Bed was very comfortable (slept better there than home). Convenient to town, blue ridge parkway and local attractions and a hidden gem . Everything we needed was in this spacious apartment. Definitely a do again.

It is a very nice place, beautiful views of the river and mountains. It was really fun exploring the land around the house and a nice place to come back to after our days out.

We were looking for an escape from city noise and Laura's house was the perfect fix. The home is beautiful and the views of the New River are spectacular. Plenty of hiking trails around the Oracle campus if you're so inclined. One point to consider: cell service is hit or miss in that part of Grayson County, but that can be a good thing. Unplug and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend. Great place to stay in a very restful area of VA. Lodging is suburb. Not far from town and restaurants. Located on the New River, one of VA's top small mouth bass rivers. Bring your fishing equipment. Have a fun peaceful time when you visit here.

The house is really nice. The back deck overlooking the new river is wonderful spot for meditation watching birds etc. there is internet but there were storms in the area on my visit and service was spotty. Be prepared to unplug.

This is a beautiful get-away with and privacy. Laura is certainly a wonderful and caring hostess! She had breakfast items for us and the house was clean and spacious. Thank you so much -- we would certainly stay there again!

Such a fantastic place to get away from city life and connect with nature and gorgeous views! Nice full kitchen and everything we needed for a comfy stay.

We loved this beautiful and quite home on the New River. It has a spectacular view of the river and is a peaceful retreat! If you want to get away from it all, this is a perfect place.

A wonderful place to stay, very clean and comfortable, with magnificent views of the New River.

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay! We had a great time on the river bank! The view is just great and the wrap porch had plenty of seating. I personally enjoyed all the board games and pool table. The wood fireplace was an unexpected treat! The kitchen equipment is well stocked for cooking and there is plenty of seating in this well decorated and charming cabin! I just could go on and on how great this place is! Thanks for everything!

Had an amazing time!

My family and I had a wonderful time. I don't think there could have been a better way to spend the holidays with my family. Beautiful cabin with even better views. The cabin was so nice we spent days just locked up enjoying the cabin . 5 star for sure! Won't regret this place

This rental was great! Loved the beautiful river view and the layout of the home. Very cozy and the hosts added some nice touches of hospitality. The drive was a little tricky in the dark and they reached out to make sure we made it safely. Very thoughtful! We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome cabin right on the river. Among the best Airbnb hosts I've come across. If you dont own a cabin in the mountains on the river....you do now!!! We felt so at home. The cabin was set up in every way possible right down to the smallest detail. Stocked!!! Beautifully decorated!!! Amenities plus!!! Cant wait to come back the summer!!! You will have a great time!!!!

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Plenty of room for a party of 8. Loved every detail. Peaceful. Loved being near the river!

so beautiful and peaceful. So much to do - we couldn't decide where we wanted to "Hang out" because there were so many great spots.

Rest, relax and enjoy the gorgeous mountains. The cabin is a cabin of dreams. We all had an amazing time and will cherish the memories we made this week. We will be back!
