The Holly House was a beautiful, clean and comfortable home. The views were gorgeous and we really enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the property was. The owner was friendly and answered questions quickly. Everything you could need was provided. We would definitely stay here again :-)
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.
The property was an excellent escape, and exactly as pictured. The whole family enjoyed exploring the property, fishing and day excursions around the area. We will be back.
Thanks!
we were there for our oldest granddaughter wedding just a few miles away.
this home was perfect, clean, well organized and just felt like home from the start.
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.
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.
Peaceful location with beautiful views of the countryside. Comfortable beds, close to a convenience store and plenty of fish in the ponds. My children were thrilled with the fish they caught and loved playing with the owner’s dogs when we walked to their trail. Also a great spot for star gazing.

This is an absolutely beautiful house, inside and out! We loved the open downstairs, screen porch, and outdoor front porch! The bedrooms were wonderful, two with private baths! We had family staying next door at Hemlock House so we were able to bring other family over for dinner in both houses! Very close to Hot Springs and Warm Springs. Wonderful hiking trails! Love love love this place!
Each year, my family gathers for Christmas and the week after. Family includes my husband, 2 adult children and their Dad. We look for a special place each year that will give us space and closeness! Holly House was just great and we will be back! Host was terrific to work with from start to finish!
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.
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!
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!
The Holly House was a great place to stay while our family explored Bath County and the surrounding area. What a beautiful spot for a family vacation.

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!
we all really liked this place. nicely decorated, comfy furniture, bedrooms were good as well. it was clean and well kept. the house is not on the river, which we were confused about.
it does, however, have a nice fire pit area that we were unaware of. patrick the owner was responsive to my questions which was appreciated. i would recommend holly house.
Such a great location - access to hiking / fishing
The highlight of this trip is definitely the prime access to fishing the Jackson River and hiking the owner's property. The house has a wonderful wood stove that we used the entire time. Great spot in the mountains!
