Need to get away from the city hustle, lights and noise? Sit back and relax on one of our two decks and enjoy the expanding Piedmont Valley View, listen to the birds and watch the clouds create stories in the skies. On a clear day you can see the buildings of downtown Winston-Salem on the horizon just past Pilot Mountain. At night, just look up to gaze the Milky Way. Hart’s Desire is nestled just off the Blue Ridge Parkway centrally located between Galax, VA, Hillsville, VA and Mount Airy, NC (Mayberry) – 30 minutes each way.

Family Legacy Weekend
We wanted a weekend away with our adult children and spouses (no grands). This was the perfect getaway. The host was wonderful, property was great, home was as described! We lost power Friday afternoon through Saturday morning (10ish) but no problem as the house has a whole house generator! We had a wonderful weekend!

A Place with Hart and Soul
We love staying here. This is our second year staying at this home. Denise is always very helpful and quick to reply. The home is beautiful, the views are beautiful, and the memories that our family makes here are beautiful. I cannot recommend this place enough. This will be a place we continue to come to year after year. Denise takes extra thought in preparing for your stay here. You will not be disappointed with picking this home for your vacation spot. The view is breathtaking and a home is a place where any family, couple, or friends can make lasting memories whether it be enjoying the view together, taking a stroll, sitting by the fire pit with Smores, or just relaxing inside of this very comfortable and spectacular home. Go ahead, make the reservation, You will not regret it.

Anniversary Stay!
The Hart house was beautiful with an open, airy feeling with huge windows and a high ceiling. The view is spectacular! The kitchen is very well equipped and convenient. We were celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary in the mountains, which is our favorite place to be. In spite of a rainy and foggy week, we manage to get some hiking in, and loved going up the the Blue Ridge Music Center. The hosts were very quick to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Fabulous Mountain Getaway
This is an impressive house in a spectacular setting right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sitting on the deck, you feel as if you're up in an airplane looking down on the valley below. The house is spacious, the furniture is high quality, the amenities are first-class. If you're looking for a place to unwind away from it all, this is an ideal retreat. The owner Denise was friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing views, relaxing hot tub, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and a well-equipped house
The drive was worth the wait! As soon as we walked in, the view captured our full attention. The accommodations were more than adequate for our two families of four, and we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We spent our days relaxing in the hot tub, sitting around the fire, playing games, cooking, and enjoying our morning coffee on the deck each morning. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a few hikes on nearby trails and even traveled a little further north so the kids could see snow and went snow tubing. Check in and out was a breeze, and Denise was very responsive to inquiries. We would recommend Hart’s Desire to anyone.

A Home Away From Home
The Harts really went the extra mile with making our stay comfortable and extra specials. The view is absolutely breathtaking. We travel as a family to at least two destinations a year and this is one we will always remember and plan on coming back. If your looking for a family getaway, this is your place to bring your family back every year. Thanks for helping us make some great memories!
