Heart's Desire-3 bdrm/2ba country home with amazing views
3 bedroom, 2 bath house with pool. Close proximity to tons of outdoor adventures! Spend your days hiking, boating, or fishing at any of the many nearby lakes and hiking trails, then take a dip in the pool. Enjoy a meal in the fully stocked kitchen and watch the sunset over the mountains around the gas fire pit. Note pool closes September 19, 2024 and will reopen in May of 2025.
I have stayed here before - and I returned for the same happy experience. The property is perfect for a quiet stay: immaculately clean, very comfortable furniture, completely equipped with all the modern - and new - conveniences, great views, entertaining animals, and a great pool. Although I am traveling alone to take advantage of the pool and quiet reading/work time, this house would also be great for a group. I plan to be back again one or twice next year.
We had such a wonderful vacation here! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. We (especially the kids) loved the pool. The views were gorgeous. Renee was great with any questions we had and was quick to answer. We would love the opportunity to stay at Heartâs Desire again in the future!
Perfect location, beautiful home, an ideal spot for swimming and rest.
Exactly as described. The home is beautiful, well-appointed, and extremely comfortable. Spacious interior, with all conveniences. The location is outstanding. Beautiful views, and an excellent pool and pool house. The swimming could not have been better! Looking forward to staying again!
We vacationed at Heart's Desire during the July 4th week. The home is as advertised. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Extremely well stocked kitchen with every gadget you might need for your stay. The rooms are spacious with a very nice, large, dining room table that will accommodate larger families for meals, or as we used it for a puzzle table.We especially enjoyed sunset. The front of the home faces West and every night around 8:15pm we would pour a drink and sit on the front porch to watch the sun set behind the mountains.The home is situated at the end of dead end gravel/dirt road that is well maintained. It is very quiet and restful since there is no through traffic on the road. There are two other homes along the road and they belong to the hosts which makes it very convenient if there are any difficulties during your stay.The home backs up to heavy woods behind it and to the right while the front of the home faces a large open valley with cattle pasture. While watching the sunset in the evenings we would often have cattle grazing near the fence which was a special treat for our dogs since they are "city dogs" and had never seen or heard anything like a cow before. Almost every night we would also see off in the distance a good sized herd of deer that came out to graze as well.Speaking of deer, we would also see them often in the backyard where they came out from the woods to graze on the grass.A perfect home to "get away from it all!"
Our stay was seamless and the house was great for our group. We were celebrating our daughterâs graduation from Sweet Briar College and it was not only just the right distance from school but, a spacious and clean home with fantastic views!! Simply PERFECT!
We had a great time at your beautiful home. We had our furbabies there and they loved roaming around the property. Everything was well stocked,comfortable and clean. The best part of this beautiful property was there were no people around!!!! We can't wait to plan our next stay in the summer. Thank you and your family for allowing us to stay đ â€ïž
I had such a wonderful time staying at this cozy house hosted by the friendliest host Renee! The house has all the basic necessity and is very well organized! There where many small and considerate details that made our stay extream comfortable.There was even a speaker set up by the pool, creating the perfect ambiance for relaxation and fun. The host's warmth and excellent communication made us feel so welcome, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. It's definitely a place we'd recommend to anyone seeking a fantastic getaway!
Absolutely gorgeous views of the mountains from the front porch! The house was just as beautiful and fully stocked with any and everything we could need, including tons of pool toys that my boys loved. It was a great getaway from our normal NoVA living. Not far of a drive to get any groceries or food either. The Amherst Corner Restaurant was also a great find when returning back to the house after a day spent out in Lynchburg! Renee was always responsive in the very few times I needed to reach out, which was great. I could not recommend this place enough and would definitely stay again.
Very relaxing week in the country. Lovely big clean house with comfortable beds and multiple places to sit and relax. Views outside were amazing. Pool was so big and clean and refreshing in the heat. Couple of small things maybe to take care of. Shower in small bathroom didnât work so the whole gang had to traipse into our bathroom. Wee mouse in pantry but I understand itâs the country. Grill in pool house was very dirty. Small problem with ac but was fixed very quickly. All in all a very happy stay and I look forward to returning!
We stayed at this amazing property for a long weekend. We wanted to just get away and relax. That is what we did! The house was amazing. Everything was labeled and easily found in the kitchen, The house looks as if the hosts had spent hours researching what the perfect rental would need and it showed. Everything we needed was there. We just showed up with clothes and swimsuits. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home. (Including our dogs) The pool and pool house were above our expectations. There was a fridge and floats there for us to use. Our dogs loved being able to run around in the big yard. We will be going back again!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was clean, well-stocked for kitchen and pool use, and big enough for all of us to spread out. We spent many hours in the well maintained pool and pool house. The view of the mountains is beautiful and it was all birds, butterflies and deer walking through the yard. The host was very responsive. Just a lovely place, I highly recommend.
The owners have thought of everything! The pool house is stocked with corn hole, large cooler, portable speaker and charger, bug repellent bracelets, mini fridge! We hung out a lot at the pool and pool house. Even ate dinner down there. The house is on a very private lot with stunning views! Binoculars were even provided on the front porch.We visited Ankida Ridge Vineyard, definitely worth the trip up the mountain! Overall we had a fabulous time and would stay here again! We miss the pool already!
The house, view, and pool were perfect for our family getaway! We greatly enjoyed the view from the porch and patio sitting area.
The pool and pool house were loved and perfect for hanging out with the kids!
The house was clean and well furnished. We would recommend it!
The host was very responsive to fix the couple of small issues we encountered.
The house was neat and tidy, very comfortable with plenty of space, and a fully stocked kitchen! We had everything we needed for a lovely 5 day stay in the country. We went into town to meet friends for dinner and to pick up groceries. Otherwise we just played in the pool, read on the large front porch, watched the sunset, and RELAXED! It was the perfect stay for a family who was exhausted from a busy week in D.C.
We stayed at this property for 4 nights over Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 large dogs (Great Dane and German Shepherd). The kitchen was spacious enough for us to lay everything prepped and ready for the big day. The communication with the property manager was phenomenal - prompt, courteous, and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
