Serenity on the Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway is now open.

We are just steps to the Parkway, minutes to Stone Mountain State Park, Doughton Park, New River State Park, and at the edge of the Yadkin Valley Wine District, the list of activities are endless including sitting on the deck or by the fire pit watching the view go by. The view has been said to be “The best view in the Blue Ridge”.
Serenity is secluded and surrounded by dozens of undeveloped acres for you to roam. Your only neighbors are the wildlife.

This spacious 2400 square foot home is yours while you play in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Hike, visit local wineries, dine in one of the highly rated restaurants in Sparta or just come to relax. You will not want to leave Serenity.

Bring the family to Serenity on the Blue Ridge Parkway and enjoy all the comforts of home with all the amenities for the outdoorsman. Walk out the door for some of the best hiking in the state at Stone Mountain State Park or go down to the New River and enjoy canoeing and kayaking and while you’re at it get in some golf at the New River Country Club (other clubs nearby include High Meadows Golf & Country Club, Roaring Gap Golf Course, Olde Beau Golf Club, Deer Creek Golf Course and Stone Mountain Golf Club). For those that just want to relax, enjoy some of the finest wineries in the state in the Yadkin Valley Wine Country or do some antiquing in the numerous antique shops in the area. Sparta and surrounding area enjoy some of the finest Bluegrass music in the world with Merlefest happening every year just down the road In Wilkesboro, NC or at the Muddy Creek Café and Music Hall in Sparta. Have a rest day before you start Cycle North Carolina "Mountains to Coast" Bicycle Ride in October or before you ride the Parkway. When you are finished with all of that just sit in one of the rocking chairs on the huge deck and watch the view go by or tune in a movie on the 55 inch Smart HDTV with free Sling TV, NETFLIX and Amazon Prime video, Free WiFi internet and a 200 DVD video library. Put out some deer corn and watch the deer come up and feed just outside your door and hear the turkey gobble as they walk by. Everything you could want is at your beckons call. Initially built to accommodate 2 golf foursomes this 2400 square foot, 4br (2 Master Suites), 3.5 bath home makes the perfect vacation spot for families or group of friends. One of the Master suites is on the main floor so those with mobility impairments won't have to contend with any stairs to enjoy the deck, family room, dining room, kitchen, and private bath. The full kitchen has all the cooking utensils a cook would need including an outdoor gas grill. This is your spot. Make it your home away from home.

Relaxing and Remote location

Family getaway

This is a great place to relax, get away, be as active or as inactive as you want. It is close to antique places, Yadkin River Valley wineries, places to hike, and just great views to sit and enjoy. My brother and sister-in-law have stressful jobs, and they were thoroughly relaxed. We've already booked our next stay.

Great weekend getaway!!

This is our third year (we are active and retired teachers ) staying at Rocky Acres ! We love everything about the place! It is so relaxing enjoying the view from the porch, playing corn hole, watching the deer, hiking on the parkway, visiting Sparta. The beds are super comfy and Steve is very good to work with. We’ll be back next year!!

Beautiful Property and very comfortable

Comfortably fit 8 of us and our long haired chocolate mini dachshund. We were in the area for a wedding so didn't get to enjoy everything about this lovely getaway. Would have been a great destination all by itself. Great communication from owner. Highly recommend it!

Late April Visit

We had a group of five visit in late April for four nights. The place has a great setting and a great view. It was spacious and clean and well set up to accommodate a group of our size or an even bigger group. Our host, Steve, was super responsive and very helpful answering questions and providing suggestions. I am happy to recommend Steve's place to others.

The house has a beautiful view and everything we could have wished for. The hosts have really been thoughtful in providing a wonderful experience and lots of good information.

Everything we had hoped it would be...

Our little family reunion couldn't have asked for a better location to relax, reconnect, and enjoy some beautiful views and mountain air. Thank you Steve for sharing your property and being so easy to reach if necessary. If you stay here, make it a point to go to Stone Mountain Park and slide down Widows Creek Falls!! Kayaking the New River was only 30 min away as well. House has everything you could possibly need for your stay and then some. We enjoyed every minute!!

We enjoyed a great week in Sparta! We were so pleased with the cabin! Spacious and perfect accommodations. Every comfort of home! It snowed the first night we arrived - a first for the Florida kids! We picked up deer corn while antiquing and like clockwork, deer visited us every morning and evening. Our time was peaceful and relaxing - we had the opportunity to really relax and enjoy.

Beautiful, Relaxing Mountain Retreat

The 7 of us (teachers) had a wonderful time at Rocky Acres! It is secluded and quiet. The view was amazing...something you will never grow tired of. It was so fun to curl up and visit and DE-STRESS! There is plenty of room to spread out and relax. We had snow Friday night and it was a treat to wake up and see snow on the mountain peaks. The owner thought of everything! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and the place was super clean. There were plenty of blankets, games, and movies, etc. We shopped in Sparta on Saturday and rode the parkway for some beautiful views. We are already are planning our return trip for next April. Thanks Steve for a wonderful place to unwind and get back to nature!

A Great Getaway

We all (5) enjoyed our stay. The "cabin" is truly a mountain getaway as we crossed the eastern continental divide in Roaring Gap to get there. That's not as daunting as it might sound as the NC mountains aren't all that imposing, just green and lush this year. The bedrooms were comfortable with a good number of bathrooms. The main living area is pleasant and spacious. I particularly liked the wooden beams on the high ceiling. We had plenty of room to spread out and several in the group took rocking chairs out on the deck. Overall it was a pleasant relaxing stay including a foray into Elkin on Saturday for the annual wine festival. The only problem we had during our stay was that one member of our crew couldn't get cellular coverage. The rest of us were fine and of course we all connected to the WiFi.

We rented the house for a brother’s weekend getaway. Steve was very accessible re: communication (access codes, how to use amenities on property, etc). The location is excellent, the property is well-maintained & well-stocked…kitchen appliances, cooking utensils, plenty of bedding, even fire starters & seasoned firewood for the outdoor fire pit are on-site.
