Excellent Host

We stayed at the Holly House a in June 2025. The house is a cute old house that has a wonderful screen porch. I contacted the host because I accidentally locked myself out. He was very polite and called back to make sure we were able to get back in. He’s a very nice gentleman. The house is in a quiet neighborhood. Which was what we were looking for. Just some down family time. We also took a little drive to the Omni Homestead and walked the little town. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Holly House is a great property that is suited for a family stay in beautiful Bath County. If you’re into the outdoors, stay here where you’re close to spectacular views, pure nature, quiet and friendly people. Our host Patrick was very attentive and responsive.

Great last-minute getaway

This property worked very well for a quick trip to the Bath region, which has been on our wish list for a while. It is an attractive property in a quiet corner of Bacova, conveniently located to the nearby towns and Lake Moomaw. The owner's farm is located right across the street, and as a bonus, they offer the opportunity to hike and fish if you are so inclined. We highly recommend taking advantage of this - if anything, the property is makes for a nicer and more interesting day hiking than the parks surrounding Lake Moomaw.

Great house, great location!

We had a wonderful fall visit to Bacova. The home was perfect for our needs. We traveled from Ohio to meet our daughter who was on fall break from UVA Law School. We were able to bring our 2 chocolate labs and enjoyed hiking the trails on the owner’s property. The leaves were just starting to turn so the landscape was beautiful. The home had more than enough space and the kitchen had everything we needed for us to cook meals. The trail maps and other local information available was a nice touch and super helpful. The house was conveniently located for us to explore Moomaw Lake, The Homestead, and Hot Springs. We’d definitely rent again!

Lovely well-maintained house w/ plenty of room for family of four

Very clean, well-maintained house w/ 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths (plus extra shower in basement) and well-furnished kitchen, living and dining room provided plenty of room for family of four adults. Plus nice open-air deck and screen porch for two pets. Highlight is the access kindly provided by owners to miles of well-maintained walking trails through forest & fields on their sizable mountain farm property a few hundred yards up the road. Location also quiet and pleasant and very short drive to Warm Springs and Hot Springs. Recommend Garth Newel classical music center, Waterwheel and Garden Cafe restaurants in Warm Springs, Bacova Beer Co in Hot Springs, and the northern end access to Jackson River Trail 13 miles south on Rte 687 at Natural Well in Alleghany County.

Bacova Va 2023 trip

We had an excellent experience staying at the holly house for 5 days. The house had plenty of room and all the creature comforts of home you would expect. The use of the owners farm trails, creeks and adjacent river lot made for easy hikes with the dogs and fun on-property experiences. We took advantage of Homestead amenities and booked a kayak trip with the local guide. Good times and many thanks to Pat for opening up the property for renters to utilize. A real treat!

Escape to beauty and a cooler climate

The renovated farmhouse is in a a tiny community a short distance from the Homestead Resort. We loved the open lower floor plan as all our guests had comfortable seating. The kitchen area was well stocked. The screened porch and large deck were so relaxing to sit on and enjoy the scenery. A highlight was the trail offered on the owners' property. We enjoyed walking in the forest along the brook. The upstairs had 3 bathrooms and great water pressure in the showers. We loved it!

This property has everything you need if you want a quiet retreat. The decor is lovely and well-appointed. The beds are comfortable. I even took a nice bubble bath! There's plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in the area as well. Taking a drive to the overlook of Lake Moomaw is a must and hiking on the owner's property is quite a treat as well! Our family enjoyed our stay here and hope to return again in the future. The atmosphere of this home is so warm, welcoming and tranquil!

Fabulous House

The house was lovely. The area was beautiful, quiet, serene. Wish we had another day or two to enjoy it more. Came to Holly House with my mom, sister and two sisters in law to enjoy a day soaking at Serenity Garden at The Homestead. The host was great and even helped me find his walking trails although I I would not consider it an easy hike and I think you should let people know that. My only other minor complaint is the upstairs shower curtain was a bit moldy. It needed to be cleaned or changed. Would definitely stay here again!!!
