135 Acre Multi-Home Creekside Estate. Pets and Events are Welcome!

Welcome to Mountain Sun Estate! Our 135-acre home is the perfect place to escape the stresses of city life and gather with family and friends. This nature lover's paradise nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains has something for everyone. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the front porch as the sun rises over Young’s Mountain and wild turkeys forage in the pasture. Take a leisurely walk around the barns and meander through the gardens, immersing yourself in the tranquil surroundings. For those who like a bit more excitement and adventure, wade through the creek to look for salamanders and crawfish or explore the miles of old logging trails that wind through the property (as well as the thousands of acres of state forest bordering our property) taking in the hemlocks, oaks, and rhododendrons that grace the landscape. End your day with cocktails on the back stone porch as the creek rushes by and the sun dips below the mountains.

THE SPACE:

The main residence is a masterfully designed sanctuary, seamlessly integrating modern comforts with the natural beauty that surrounds it. With panoramic windows that frame the picturesque views of the forest and creek, the main house is flooded in natural light, creating an ambiance that blurs the line between indoor luxury and outdoor splendor. The spacious living areas provide ample room for relaxation and connection. The expansive kitchen invites everyone to gather and bond over family recipes.

Wonderful Stay
I stayed here with my extended family, with ages ranging from 2-77. We had an amazing time. Lillie and Adam couldn't have been more accommodating. They attended to our needs and the communication was great. The river below the house is beautiful and we enjoyed playing in it, fishing and sitting by it listening to the water. The house had everything you could need and was labeled so well. We did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning.

Mountain Getaway
We were greeted with fresh eggs, produce, and the most delicious blueberries I have ever tasted. The property was absolutely wonderful and exactly as advertised. Kitchen was an absolute dream, well equipped with just about any appliance you could need to cook. Everyone had fun at the creek and the youngest love wading in the water. Perfect spot for a family vacation.

Nothing Short of Amazing!
If I could give this vacation home ten stars, I would! This property is an absolute vacation dream. It is exactly as pictured in the photos, yet it is so much more. We arrived to fresh veggies out of the garden and fresh eggs out of the coop. That was unexpected, but very appreciated. On our first night we had s’mores down by the fire pit and we grilled the second night. On night three we decided to take family photos and Lilliana came over and graciously snapped our picture! If you are looking for a place that has lots of room for running around and playing outside, then this is your place. There were lots of games to play in the game room and the house was fully stocked. You name it, they have it, and more! I cannot recommend this place enough. You have to book it!

Everything was perfect. Lillie was the kindest host ever. Everyone in our group enjoyed the beautiful home and setting. Some highlights include the creek, the well equipped kitchen, the gorgeous sunroom, the adorable bunk rooms, and picking berries with Lillie.

Amazing Outdoors, Spacious and Comfortable Interiors
This property is a hidden gem! I’m fairly certain it was the best vacation rental we’ve ever booked! From the breathtaking view down the pristine front lawn, across the meadow to the mountains out the front…to the sounds and sites of the large, active creek in the back with boulders to climb about and explore, mini waterfalls and pools to play, fish and cool off in….to the quaint screened porch overlooking the water that allows you to be outside under shade with a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable and away from any pesky bugs…..to the large, clean and well-stocked kitchen that invites you to prepare gourmet meals (never have I felt so comfortable cooking in someone else’s kitchen!), which also includes two refrigerator/freezers, two dishwashers and two sinks - plus the full kitchen in the secondary house….to all the space you have to spread out between two houses, outfitted with comfortable king beds and linens in each bedroom, en suite bathrooms and a clever bunk wing with three separated bunk rooms (6 beds total) sharing a bathroom. But the best part was the hospitality shown by the property’s hosts and caretakers. I’m leaving so much out because there are too many amazing things about this property! You will NOT be disappointed! We had 6 adults, 6 kids ages 6-13, and two dogs. Plenty of room and space. Tons of screen doors and windows to let in fresh mountain air and listen to the cascading creek. They have scooters/ bikes for kids, plenty of games, books & ping pong.
