Photos and Description of this Bedford holiday house 5BR Mountainview Vacation Rental Bedford, Virginia USA

Elmo's Rest is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, at the foot of the Peaks of Otter. In the early 1900's, Elmo Johnson and his wife Freddie lived and raised their family in the house. They planted their first apple tree in 1919. The secluded home is in the middle of 250 acres of orchards, lush pastures, and shady woods. It's located 1/2 mile from the nearest dwelling. It's surrounded by the animals that you would expect to find on a self-sufficient farm of that era. Animals include cattle, horses, burros, dogs, cats, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and turkeys. From the first blossom of spring, to creek wading in summer, to the last crisp apple of fall, to the snow-covered hills of winter, there is a time for you to relax or to be active. The property boasts three ponds for fishing, creeks for wading, 'deer' trails for walking and hiking, and wonderful rolling land for cross-country skiing.

Review Submitted: August 6, 2005 Date of Stay: July 2005
What a wonderful place to just get away! We have stayed several times and it is the perfect place to relax and get back to family and a time that was simpler. Our whole family tries to go every year, about 10 of us at a time. Danny and Nancy are just wonderful host. Everyone should try it, or not and we will keep it all to ourselves (ha ha). Love Ya, The Odoms and Pates
