Nice place for relaxing
This place is nice for walks next to the stream, you see cows horses and goats on your walk to the main orchard which also is nice to walk around. 20mins in the car gets you to a nice walk around a lake, or a decent hike up the mountain! Place is clean and hot tub was nice in the cool air, with deer on your lawn at night. Certain maintenance is slipping though, and it would be nice if these areas would be addressed as it makes the cherry on the cake, rather than biting into a shell left in the tasty cake. We cooked at home and struggled with the limited selection of pots and pans/utensils. Would I stay again, sure! Snag list for the owner: Shower door, BBQ ash catcher, Swing bench on porch, light bulbs missing bedside lamps, shed door, dish washer, front door latch, broken chairs around fire pit.

Needs more comfortable furniture!
Stay was for 3 couples. The house itself is great but the picture in the ad showed 3 chairs in the living room, there was 1. The 1 chair and the couch were very uncomfortable! Also, our friends had to change bedrooms because the queen on the back right was so uncomfortable they could not sleep. There was a problem getting any local channels for the guys to watch football, and apparently it was difficult for them to access any apps.

Mini Retreat
This home was the perfect spot for our mini retreat! Myself and three friends wanted a quiet location in nature where we could disconnect. It happened to be during a meteor shower, and it was the perfect spot to view the sky. The house was well-maintained, and offered many amenities. we were all extremely comfortable and felt very much at home. We had an issue with the air conditioner which was addressed very quickly by the house manager. The drive back to the home is on a gravel road so we would highly recommend you drive slowly, but it’s worth the drive and it takes you across a lovely stream. Highly recommend!

Peaceful and lovely setting
The property is located in a quiet rural setting. We saw more wildlife than people. The house is beautifully decorated and well-stocked with dishes and linens. The king suites are on opposite sides of the house, which is a good layout.

Fabulous Easter weekend!
We celebrated a family Easter weekend that included 8 adults and 4 one year olds. The weather may not have cooperated but we made the best of it and explored the area! The grounds and surrounding roads/creeks were fun to play on and lots of room to have an Easter egg hunt! The house was very clean and comfortable for our group! Bedrooms were spacious and beds were cozy! The property manager answered all communication within minutes!

Wonderful Place
We really enjoyed a long winter weekend getaway at Orchard View! Great views of the Peaks of Otter, we hiked Sharp Top in the morning and watched the sun set behind her grilling out in the evening. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed to relax and for 4 teens to have fun inside and outside. We’re relocating in the area when our nest becomes empty, we could live in this place.

Great spot for family and friends
We had two families with college aged children staying here for a long weekend over New Years. The house was perfect for the 8 of is. We had a lot of fun hiking at Peaks of Otter and exploring Bedford, and the host couldn’t have been nicer. She was very proactive in reaching out to us and responsive to our questions. Highly recommend this home!

Great family geataway
The house was very clean and as described. The front porch is amazing to sit and relax on. The property is great for a family to spend time together. The property management was quick to respond with questions and very helpful. We had 7 adults and 3 kids and the house fit us very well. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing and Memorable!
We had such a fabulous time at this property with our family all together. The pictures do not begin to define the beauty and elegance of this gorgeous place. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were home. The home embraces you with warmth and comfort, but does it all with a flair for refined detail and beauty. As a bonus, it was immaculately clean! The location was picturesque with such peace and tranquility. We could not get over how beautiful the stars were as we enjoyed the camp fire with smores, conversation, and laughter! It was a magical time, and nobody wanted to leave. This home was more than we could have ever imagined!
