3 Bedroom House in Mendota

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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: So many great things about this property...the first--it was spotlessly clean! Plenty of towels, soap for the dishes, everything needed to live there for several days. The location is very secluded, for 95% of our time the cattle were our only neighbors. We loved the peace and quiet! We enjoyed fishing, caught several bass. (don't eat them due to warnings of toxicity). Out dog enjoyed the fenced yard & got plenty of exercise. We would definitely return in the future. All aspects as advertised in the property description--driveway is steep up and down. We did fine in a Ram 1500 4 WD truck. I would not want to drive a car up & down it. We have Spectrum cell service so we had to drive several miles to access it. We did connect through WIFI & were able to text elderly family members that way, to keep in touch. Due to the wifi restrictions we had minimal internet connection. Direct TV was available & had many channels. I highly recommend this place if you don't mind seclusion and giving up internet for your time there.
