About this property

Spy Run Hideaway is a 1/2 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway & pet friendly!

  • Spy Run Hideaway is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that is quiet and secluded on 17 acres that is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains full of wildlife. An experience here welcomes you to the serene mountains that include unlimited hiking trails, fishing at Montebello Pond, trout streams, vineyards that have wine tasting tours, and breath-taking rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Route 56 is well known by bicycle enthusiasts. Enjoy spectacular views and serenity from our large covered front porch where there is a gas grill and foosball table for family entertainment. The night sky is perfect for stargazing. Not to mention the peaceful evenings you could spend by the fire pit relaxing.
    20 minutes from Dollar General Market which offers food and much more 30 minutes from downtown Lexington or Staunton. Both offer an abundance of history, quaint locally owned shops, and fine dining restaurants. Lexington offers carriage rides through the historic town and is home of the Virginia Horse Center. You could enjoy free horse shows at the horse center.

Thanksgiving Break

This was an ideal getaway for a Thanksgiving break. Our group included several teenage boys who enjoyed the house as much as the surrounding area. We had a dog as well who also enjoyed the hikes! We were able to explore the local area and enjoyed using the kitchen to cook. All in all, we had a great break - thank you!

The house was clean and well stocked with anything you could need! Hidden off a dirt road, peaceful and quiet was just what we were looking for! We didn’t have cell service, but we connected to the WiFi provided and could text etc. The beds are extremely comfortable! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!! We truly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful

This house and property are beautiful. It is right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and is secluded and private. The owners have provided any and everything you will need, even wood to burn in the fire pit. The house was spotless, very dog friendly, and the owners are awesome and extremely easy to communicate with. There is a huge, beautiful front porch with rocking chairs and a grill. I had a wonderful time and I am looking forward to my next stay here.

Beautiful home

This home was perfect for the 7 of us and a newborn. It had everything we needed and more. We loved sitting on the porch in the am and evening. The weather was perfect except one day but that was ok as well. Thanks again for making us feel at home and hope to come back again soon. I call the Blue Ridge Mountains GOD'S Country.

Just like home (except for the person in the basement)

Secluded and quiet. While it was only my wife and me the property would be heaven for a large family or group of friends. Not luxurious but very comfortable and homey. My wife described it as “ like the home you grew-up in”. Very dog-friendly. The only negative and this really disturbed my wife was that there was another person in the house. She was in the basement apartment and kept completely out-of-sight but she could be clearly heard coughing, moving around, and playing the television. If this is explained in the property description I apologize for mentioning it but I don’t see any mention of this being a shared property.

Blue Ridge Mountain Family Retreat

We had a great time at Spy Run Hideaway! The kitchen was well equipped and we made good use of the gas grill on the porch. We spent most of our time in the huge covered deck or running in the front yard. Lots of great bird watching to be had. We had one night of bad storms and were excited to find there was a back up generator ready to go. We were prepared to “rough” it until power restored but instead we just limited our use of power to necessary areas and had a great night of games listening to the storm roll through. Things worth noting: the road in can be a bit winding, it’s on a mountain after all. Do not recommend driving in or out at night unless you’re really comfortable with narrow mountain roads. Phone service can be spotty, but there is WiFi, we liked the forced disconnect. The fire pit is up on a hill so bring head lamps for traversing that slope after a night at the fire. Skyline drive is a stones throw away and we enjoyed the close proximity. Lastly, I forgot my travel kitchen kit and the hosts were great about getting it sent back to me. That was hugely appreciated. We hope to visit this home again in the future and are thankful the owners share their bit of heaven.

The house was very nice! The rooms were great and it was well cleaned! We loved the screened in porch, it was good to sit in of a morning. Only one note, make sure you buy food before you check in or else you are going back down the mountain to get anywhere near civilization.
