Golf, swimming, boating, antiquing, winery tours and horseback riding are all within a few miles. Great areas for fishing, hiking and biking are available on site.


This mountain home is a perfect place for viewing fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway, attending NASCAR races in Martinsville and exploring country and bluegrass music, local food, arts and crafts in Floyd. Located two hours from Boone and other ski resorts in North Carolina and less than 25 miles from Mount Airy (aka Mayberry), this home is a great base for visiting a host of scenic places. The Labor Day Flea Market in Hillsville every September is the largest in the U.S. and the Fiddlers Convention in Galax held every August is the oldest and largest in the U.S. Primland Resort, Chateau Morrisette Winery and the restaurant at the Olde Mill Golf Resort offer fine dining experiences within a radius of at least 10 miles from the property.

** Pets welcome (dogs only, 2 dogs maximum, with $100 pet fee per dog). **

** NOTE ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY TO OUR HOME: our gravel driveway from the paved road to our home has some curvy and steep sections, as is normal in the mountains. There are speed bumps that help with water run-off and driveway erosion during storms. SUVs, trucks, and higher clearance vehicles have no issues. Low clearance sedans (as some members of our team drive) or sports cars may rub on the speed bumps, so crossing at an angle and / or near the ends should help. Even without 4WD you will be fine, put your car in Low and go slow if needed. **

    Stayed here for a week with 5 adults, 2 dogs and 4 kids. It was perfect. A really magical place to bring family together.

    The property was all it was supposed to be. My wife and I along with each of our daughters and their families were there together. House is set up perfectly for that mix with each family having its space yet common areas were comfortable and all could get around the table. Area is fun for small town visits and proximity to Parkway made for some nice day trips. Fun in the hot tub and around BBQ grill. Comfortable evenings after kids went to bed. All went very well.

    My family (13 of us!) was comfortably accommodated in this lovely home. Everyone had a bed and there was plenty of room for alone time or family time, whichever suited the mood. The hot tub was a big hit, despite the warmer weather - and the trout stream was a fun place for folks to play or just get wet. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we made great use of the *two* laundry areas. The house was well stocked with board and card games and we spent many hours laughing together in the great room and relaxing on the large deck, enjoying the views. We didn't take advantage of the gas fire pit - the weather was too warm to sit around a fire and being gas we couldn't make s'mores! Nor did we climb the hill for stargazing because the trail was pretty overgrown since it's summer. The driveway was in great shape - my Prius was the only one of our four cars that struggled over the speed bumps. We did venture out to Buffalo Mountain and Devil's Den Nature Preserves on a couple of days, but were also content to hang out at the house, walking along the road or the stream or splashing in the water for exercise. It's a quiet country neighborhood with almost no traffic on the road and the house is situated well away from any other homes. There is a Dollar General that sells produce about 6 miles from the house but larger grocery stores were 20-30 minutes away. Overall this was the perfect place for a family gathering.

    The home was clean and had plenty of space for our group of 10. The hosts were very responsive to our notes and emails. The location was remote but gorgeous. We loved our nights in the hot tub.we were pleased with our stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for an escape to the mountains.

    Not much to say that hasn't been said in previous reviews, but reinforce the following: 1) The house is very comfortable and spacious. 2) The kitchen is well equipped and there is a lot of refrigerator/freezer space. 3) We did not need to contact the owners much, but when we did they responded quickly. Additionally, they were very proactive in their communications to us. 4) We had no problem with the driveway (2 sedans and 2 suvs) but I'll bet the owners have to put in a lot of work to keep it maintained. 5) In summary, we had a great family gathering at the Lodge and will likely be returning.

    This was a great home that is well equipped with the needs for an escape to the mountains and country. Quiet and tranquil. The homeowners were very responsive and communicated well. We’ll be back at this house in the future

    Our stay at Kim and Andys lodge was everything we could ask for in a vacation rental. The location has a beautiful view from the hot tub. It was not too far from town to get groceries. The space fit our large party for an unofficial college reunion and it is unanimous that this lodge would be a contender for another group vacation.

    What a true gem! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lodge at laurel fork and are looking forward to returning in the future with a few other couples to take advantage of all the cabin has to offer. This was an impromptu work extension stay turned opportunity to get a quick escape night in with my girlfriend. While it was more cabin than we really needed it turned out to be exactly what we wanted. High speed internet service allowed us both to get some work done during the day and the tranquil setting allowed a relaxing environment to enjoy a dinner and evening devoid of the normal distractions of daily life at home. The river provided a great chance for a hike without having to go anywhere and even a chance to catch a couple trout. While they were not dinner worthy the kitchen allowed us all that we needed to make a great meal and the jacuzzi was just icing on the cake so to speak. The hosts were incredibly responsive to the few inquiries we had while at the property and made sure we made ourselves and home and enjoyed the stay. It is definitely on the list of places to revisit for a longer stay and while I’ll have a better itinerary of local options to explore I can’t say I’d be upset to just relax at the cabin and soak in the skyline at sunset and sounds of the forest. Thanks for a wonderful weekend away!

    We had a great time. Family get together for Thanksgiving and everyone had a fantastic time. Rooms are well spaced out, plenty of common area, and large kitchen. We made some great memories there.
