Located a short distance from Olde Mill Golf Resort, Primland Resort and Chateau Morrisette Winery and Restaurants. Situated near the New River in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this mountain retreat is only 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway at Meadows of Dan, Mabry Mill and Fancy Gap. 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.

** 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. **

Spacious and comfortable Home
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.

What a wonderful lodge
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.

Amazing place to get away from it all. A luxo cabin in the woods with all the amenities of home.
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!

If you want off the grid in the mountains ... You found it!
First some background: Wanted to take my family on vacation to the Blue Ridge Mountains. We had previously been to Gatlinburg, TN and wanted to see some other areas. Group was My wife and I, 5 adult children, their significant others and our 2 year old grand son. We all came from different states and met @ Laurel Fork. We trailered 3 motorcycles, had 6 total vehicles in addition to the trailers and threw in a couple family dogs for good measure. We are a big group with lots of stuff. The house easily accommodated all of us. There were enough beds with a couple left over. Granted some are twin beds, but everyone had a place to sleep. The house is clean, well appointed and has sufficient supplies to cook and feed everyone. Enough space in the bathrooms, the garage is huge - perfect for 3 motorcycles :) The hot tub is awesome on the deck, we spent several nights enjoying the stars in it. The deck itself is very large and has multiple tables and chairs to sit out on. Kim and Andy were really great hosts. They care about your stay and help you with any issues. Very responsive to emailed questions. This house is in a beautiful area with some of the best motorcycling in the US. I'll be back for sure someday. There are a couple things I wasn't quite prepared for: - They aren't kidding the house is way off the beaten path - 40 minutes to a grocery store - so make sure you make a good list!. There is a dollar general about 20 minutes away that has some grocery items (milk, eggs and some basic necessities) - The gravel driveway is tight, steep and has some speed bumps in it to divert the water off it. If you have a low clearance car it will be a challenge. We had no issues with 4 Subarus (3 foresters and a crosstrek) & my Toyota tundra. My one sons Impreza did bottom out some going over the bumps. No damage or anything and got up the hill fine, but anything lower might be problematic. We did get the motorcycles up and down the hill, but you better be confident on gravel. Fortunately our house is also up a gravel road so we have experience on it. If you don't you may want to leave the bike at the bottom. -The house has barely any Cell service and the WIFI is very slow. ATT or Verizon didn't matter. Because we had 12 phones it really couldn't handle our demands. It's satellite based so its laggy and streaming is impossible. You can do email and I'm sure with fewer people you could do some light websurfing. It made MC ride planning pretty tough.
