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.

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.
