What an incredible stay! My husband and I absolutely loved this peaceful mountain getaway. The home was beautifully designed with every thoughtful detail imaginable — from the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy porch and relaxing hot tub. The views were stunning, and the privacy made it feel like our own hidden retreat tucked up in the mountains. You can truly feel the care and intentionality that went into creating this space. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back again soon!

We recently spent a four day weekend for our anniversary at Little Bee Woods. This is our second such trip and as with the first, it exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and allowed us to cook our meals instead or eating out. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked as well. The first day of our visit, there was a problem with the internet. This is especially troublesome because the cell signal is almost non-existent. The owner came immediately and had the problem fixed right away. I believe our favorite part of the weekend were the times spent soaking and unwinding in the hot tub. We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend and look forward to coming back next year. Thanks again for opening your home to us.

The cottage was immaculate. Super clean, bright, airy. Kitchen was very well appointed. As the cook in my group, I loved cooking in this kitchen and wanted for nothing. Owners were super communicative and they provided an awesome check-in/out guide, kitchen guide and even gave us recommendations for activities and restaurants. Beds were super comfortable. Our front wheel cars did not have an issue with the mountain road, but if you come in winter months… FWD needed. View was beautiful. We can’t wait to come back!!

The farmhouse is in a lovely, quiet setting only a short drive to the shops and restaurants in downtown Sparta. It's also a convenient location for visits to several local wineries and the Stone Mountain and New River state parks. The place is spotless and nicely furnished. We enjoyed taking in the view from the front porch.

Slice of Heaven

This piece of property was amazing! It's even better than the pictures. My husband and I stayed for the weekend with our two dogs and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were even supposed to attend a concert that Saturday night and ended up skipping just so we could enjoy the outdoor space and the perfect weather we were fortunate to have. We are already looking for an open weekend in the fall to return to this wonderful location.

A perfect paradise tucked away in the NC mountains. It was spacious, clean and most importantly well stocked with most of the everyday kitchen items. The owner checked up on us several times and made sure all our needs were met. We maintained our privacy throughout the stay. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again.

Book The Stay!

We just got home from a four night stay and already can’t wait to go back! Sipping coffee on the screened in porch, looking at the stars while in the hot tub, and enjoying all the local spots was the perfect way to relax and reconnect. I also booked a massage with the massage therapist the owner suggested and she came to the house and set up the table on the porch. 10/10 experience all around!
