Welcome to Iola Farms! This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in a picturesque valley on 106 acres just on the north side of Bristol, VA. There are plenty of activities to do such as hiking, fishing, swimming and tubing. You can visit the cattle from a safe distance or relax and read a book while listening to the sounds of the river and cattle. There is over a mile of river frontage to explore with the fishing pole, or you can break out the swim gear and go tubing from one end of the property to the other.
The master bedroom has a queen size bed suitable to sleep 2. One bedroom has a bunk bed with a full-size bottom bunk and a twin-size top bunk suitable to sleep 3. The other bedroom has a full-size bed, suitable to sleep 2. The living room has a pull-out couch suitable for 1 adult or 2 children.
Full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, dishware and cooking utensils. Kitchen table seats 6- 8. Patio table on the porch with 4 chairs and grill.
We have Starlink High Speed Wireless Internet and WIFI. Currently there is no land line. The only cellular signal that works out here is through Verizon. Other cellular services can be connected through the WIFI.
Master bath has a removable shower head, 2 vanities/sinks. Guest bath has a tub with shower and single vanity. Linens, towels, sheets and blankets are provided. There is a full-size washer and dryer.
The property is hidden over a ridge, so after you crest the driveway, you will be pleasantly surprised by the amazing views. The driveway is dirt/gravel with some bumps, so you'll need to take it slow and easy. Cars that are low to the ground are not recommended. SUV's and Subaru type vehicles will not have any problems. This is an active cattle farm so there are cows and may be caretakers on the property. During the spring, summer and fall you can enjoy most of the riverfront without being disturbed by the wandering cattle. The river is fenced off along the entire property with several points to access the river. The cattle are not pets. Do not try to pet or feed them. You can drive from one end of the property to the other to picnic, swim, hike, watch birds or take in the views of the mountains.
The property is 45 minutes from the Bristol Motor Speedway, 40 minutes from Abingdon where the famous Barter Theatre and Virginia Creeper Trailhead are located. The Carter Family Fold is about 20 minutes away. And the famous Devil's Bathtub and waterfall is also about 40 minutes away. The nearest convenient store is about 15 minutes away.

We have visited here three times and hope to be back for another stay. It is welcoming and relaxing. Sitting on the porch listening to the cows moo. At night counting the fireflies and stars. My son called this his heaven on earth. The owners are amazing, quick to respond and accommodating. Thank you for everything!

We visit the area frequently to be with family who love near by, enjoy the beautiful scenery (mountain and river), and get away from hectic city life. Iola Farms has become our go to location. It is amazingly peaceful and we never leave without wishing we could stay just a little bit longer. This June trip we took our two dogs and my husband’s parents. All four loved it! And all four were very interested in the cattle…..from a distance. We enjoyed morning porch sitting in the cool mountain air. The river is just a short walk away and perfect for wading and throwing in a fishing line. The blackberry brambles are full of berries this time of year.Can’t wait to go back in December for the austere version of Iola Farms….just as beautiful!

Short stay while traveling through
If you're looking for a remote getaway, this is it. Walking the property looks like pictures on a postcard... gorgeous! We were only staying for a day while traveling through the area, but the house had everything we needed and was a great place to stop and relax.

Peaceful Country Retreat
We wanted a relaxing stay off the beaten path and we got it.
Kids loved seeing the cows and enjoying the lazy river.
Quaint small town nearby, with a great experience at the Carter Family Fuld and a short drive to Natural Tunnel State Park.

Great Time
It is a beautiful spot nestled in the river valley. Stay was very quiet and relaxing, perfect for the weekend my brothers and I wanted to spend with our father. The river was slow and shallow enough that we could spread out from the access points and work our way around by wading, and everyone (except me) caught fish, from smallmouth to catfish and bluegill. It was great to unplug for a few days and watch the cattle grazing from the porch when we weren't fishing.

A Piece of Heaven
If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful vacation look no further. This location is perfect for a getaway in the mountains with beautiful views, a fun float down the river, and roaming the property with the cows. The house was clean and stocked with anything you could think of - down to a dog bin in case you ran out of supplies. Owners are very responsive and accommodating to anything we needed. Will absolutely be making this a yearly trip!

I hesitate to say how much we love this place, because we don’t want word to get out. Please DON’T go. Don’t enjoy the gorgeous peace and quiet of this gem of a place. Don’t enjoy the option of completely disconnecting and possibly not even leaving the farm for the length of your stay. You definitely don’t want to enjoy sitting on the patio with your coffee for hours in the morning and listening to the amazing variety of songbirds and watching the hummingbirds bicker. You won’t enjoy reading, napping, building a puzzle, or walking down the gravel road to PawPaw beach. You definitely don’t want to tube down the river or bike or walk the Mendota Trail, nor do you want to enjoy the quaint and delightful culture and attractions of nearby Carter Fold, Abingdon, or Bristol. You won’t enjoy the fireflies at night, the deer grazing at first light, or the cows grazing peacefully around the farm. Nope. Don’t go.

Holiday weekend in Mendota
This farmhouse was a nice rural setting where you can really get away from it all. We found the isolation peaceful, but it was only a 10 mile drive to civilization. Be advised that you need to be careful when walking around the property about ticks. If you do that then you can wander around on this farm to pick blackberries or wade or float in the river at the bottom of the hill. The house was well-equipped and supplied.

Great peaceful getaway
House was very clean. Great secluded location. Loved seeing the cows and their babies. No cell service in area, but satellite wifi at house is very good. Bring muck boots to walk property to avoid stepping in poo. Bring food with you, not much in area to purchase food and drink. It is within 45 minutes of The Devil's Bathtub, Natural Tunnel State Park, Appalachian Caverns, & Bass Pro Shop.

My Heaven on earth
I could live here! Quiet, beautiful. You can walk through the grass with no shoes. The river is wonderful. The girls (ages 5, 4 and 2) loved it. They said it is perfect, and they were never leaving. The guys had great fun fishing (ages 36, 12 and 12). I think the 12 yr olds caught the most. The home is nice, clean, and well furnished, kid and pet friendly. My daughter enjoyed sitting on the covered deck crocheting while watching the kids play in the rain. I enjoyed the peace and quiet of no traffic, trains, horn honking or sirens. This was our second stay here and we will be back. Thank you!

Remote and quiet
Super quiet little gem out in the valleys. We enjoyed our visit very much! Well equipped place with a lot of thought put into things and some more than just the basics in staples and condiments which was appreciated. Do NOT attempt this place in a car with low clearance as they are not joking about the driveway. It is steep and has water control speed bumps that are no joke. There is also a very steep left turn at the top of the mountain that reminded us of a roller coaster! Internet worked very well especially considering how far away from civilization this property is. Definitely suggest arriving before dark the first time, but the quiet and solitude are worth it. Comfy beds and good water pressure. All in all a very solid stay!

Mountain High
This is a wonderful place to get away from it all and still be close to shopping and activities. Beautiful scenery. The river was cool and refreshing. Loved floating down the river from one end of the property to the other. Watching the cattle was interesting. We didn't bother them and they didn't bother us. We did have to ask them to MOOOOOVE every once in a while if they happened to be by a gate but they didn't mind. Property owners responded almost immediately when I messaged them on VRBO with questions. There are actually to houses on the property within walking distance and my cousins stayed in the cabin while we stayed in the big house. I would recommend this property to one and all.

Can’t wait to comeback!
This property has been the most secluded one that we’ve stayed at. The most relaxing one as well. Breath taking views direct river access with a cute picnic table and bonfire, there’s nothing more you could ask for. The farm workers were very nice and welcoming. This beautiful cozy home had everything we needed to accommodate our stay. Just be sure to go grocery shopping before you head to the house. It is a 30 min drive from when you lose service and 40 min from anywhere else like grocery store fast foods and gas stations. DoorDash does deliver but I met them at the entrance because the driveway is NOT for any car. Overall the stay was GREAT! We can’t wait to comeback and stay at this gorgeous property. Ps-My teens survived without their phones for Couple of days and wished we could stay longer. It’s a great place to get away from that running around and work life.

Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival
We had a great stay consistent with what one would expect of a beautiful rural farm in the mountains! As advertised, the driveway might give some pause at first but with ground clearance and taking it slow all is fine. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed walking to a nice slow part of the river to wade in and tube. The accomodations are as advertised and served all we needed. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard. Also as advertised, the cell phone reception is almost non-existant. The internet provided help to do the basics of email or mapping a location on GPS but nothing beyond that. We had a manageable 35 minute drive in to downtown Bristol for the festival. Would happily stay again if we find ourselves in a similar situation. Thanks!
