We operate a Christmas Tree farm located on a high plateau in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. It is a beautiful, rural area with a temperate climate where temperatures are rarely above 90° or below 0° due to the 2600 feet elevation. Our basic business is growing premium quality Christmas trees for wholesale. We'd like to share the beauty and tranquility of the farm by offering a remodeled 3+ bedroom farmhouse for a week long vacation rental. |

Tranquil setting on a Christmas tree farm near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Floyd County, Virginia The Guesthouse was built by a Thompson family (no relation) in the 1920's. The parents and 5 children lived in the basic "2 over 2 house" - kitchen and parlor on the first floor, 2 bedrooms on the second floor. Some rooms still have tongue and groove, solid American chestnut paneling on the walls. The family operated a small farm and a general store just across the road. Over the years the house was expanded to add a separate kitchen, an inside bathroom, and 2 more bedrooms.
There is a full bath on each floor. The kitchen is fully equipped. Both the kitchen and bathrooms have been upgraded recently.
Please no smoking nor pets inside! We operate a Christmas tree farm on a high plateau in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia.

We bought the farm in 1986 and started planting Christmas trees. Since then we have gradually upgraded the farm house - new windows, new siding, rebuilt porches, added 2nd bath, and painted throughout - primarily for our family and guests to use while visiting. About 1996 we thought others might enjoy the beauty of the area and the serenity of the farm, so we started accepting short term rentals.
The front porch, which is partially covered, has a swing and rocking chairs. The enclosed sun porch, with wicker furniture, is an ideal place to relax.
