GUESTS WILL HAVE USE OF THE ENTIRE UPSTAIRS. You are likely to see farm workers on tractors or trucks, but the farmhouse will be yours. Due to its semi-remote location, there are a few things to keep in mind: *The WIFI works well, but it is not quite strong enough for streaming and working remotely. We recommend downloading anything you'd like to watch ahead of time, casting from your phone, etc. *Cell phones will work well *We promise to resolve any unforeseen maintenance issues that may arise as quickly as possible, but ask for your flexibility in understanding the limitations to being a semi-remote location. AREA DAY TRIPS: Popular day trips include hiking in the Blue Ridge Parkway, visiting the Appomattox Courthouse, Natural Bridge, Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, Virginia Safari Park, visiting Smith Mountain Lake and Liberty University's Snowflex Center (year-round skiing & tubing). Hosts are available through messaging or phone should a need arise. The farmhouse is located in Rustburg, VA. The small town center of Rustburg is 7 minutes from the house, where you can find a grocery store, a few restaurants, pizza takeout, etc. It's an easy 20-25 minute drive into the city of Lynchburg, which has all the conveniences and dining options you could ever want.
