The barn loft is a fabulous place to stay and well equipped, we had an awesome week of hiking and relaxing right in the heart of nature and the tranquil surroundings with views of Hanging Rock State Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains (we were spoilt for choice on views from the decking and the outside living space. Laurel and Jason and their family were absolutely fabulous hosts and gave top notch hospitality with a fountain of local knowledge and advice for activities in the area; they went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming, fun and luxuriously comfortable, we can’t thank you enough. We primarily chose the barn loft for it’s location, remoteness, wildlife, bird life, dog friendliness and close to some brilliant hiking trails. There are trails on site at the property which has 40 acres of land/woodland on its doorstep and also within Hanging Rock State Park (truly amazing) along with Pilot Mountain, Dan River (for kayaking) just to name but a few beautiful parks and recreational areas. It is easy to find and is close to King which is a small town with plenty of amenities and shops; there are also plenty of local farm shops to get fresh produce for your stay. We have saved this VRBO property on our trip list and very much intend to return to enjoy this idyllic setting and recharge with nature in its purist form and for the incredible hospitality. Thank you Laurel and Jason and family for all your hard work and generosity in making our stay so wonderful.
