About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Private Creekside Family Home. Yard, Game Room & Deck
Holler Hall is a peaceful, family-friendly mountain home set beside a private creek just minutes from Sparta. Guests return for the privacy, the sound of water from the porch, and the layout that works beautifully for families.
Why Families Love It
• Large yard + private creek (about 150 ft from the house) • Covered porch overlooking the water • Basement rec space with sectional, games & shuffleboard • Bunk room for kids (sleeps 4) • Fully stocked kitchen & dining for 8 • Fire pit + outdoor seating
Parents relax upstairs while kids enjoy their own space downstairs — or everyone gathers for movie nights and puzzles.
Wildlife sightings are common in spring and summer: deer, hummingbirds, fireflies, and even the occasional heron along the creek.
Location
Quiet and private, yet minutes from: • Downtown Sparta • The New River (tubing & fishing) • Blue Ridge Parkway • Stone Mountain & Grayson Highlands
If you're looking for a private mountain property where kids can explore and adults can truly unwind, Holler Hall delivers.
Upstairs: Where Mornings Begin Slowly
The upstairs level is the heart of the home — bright, open, and perfect for shared meals and slow mornings.
Upstairs includes:
King bedroom with plush bedding and woodland views
Queen bedroom ideal for couples or additional guests
Full bathroom with walk-in shower (no tub)
Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need for cooking family meals
Dining table for 8 — great for games, puzzles, and long conversations
Living space with curated décor and warm, inviting colors
Large covered porch overlooking the creek, the most-loved spot in the entire home
Many guests say they spend most of their time here — sipping coffee in the morning, watching birds flit through the trees, reading in the afternoon light, or ending the evening with a glass of wine under the stars.
The porch alone is a vacation.
Downstairs: Family Lounge & Kid Paradise
The downstairs level is designed for relaxing and having fun — especially for families with children.
Downstairs includes:
TV lounge with a roomy sectional sofa (also doubles as extra kid sleeping space)
Game & puzzle table
Shuffleboard court painted on the floor — a guest favorite
Kids’ bunk room with two sets of twin bunk beds (sleeps 4 comfortably)
Laundry room for longer stays or muddy mountain adventures
A covered patio just steps from the yard and creek
This level gives everyone room to spread out. Parents can relax upstairs while kids enjoy their own space — or everyone can gather together for movies, puzzles, and games.
Guests consistently comment on how well the layout works for families, giving kids plenty to do while adults unwind.
Outdoors: Your Own Private Mountain Retreat
The outdoor spaces at Holler Hall are what make it truly special. The home sits on a large, quiet property surrounded by trees, water, and wildlife. You don’t share the creek with anyone — it is yours to explore during your stay.
Outdoor features include:
The Creek:
Just a short, easy walk from the house. (about 150 feet) Kids love it. Adults love it. Dogs love it.
Wade in, skip stones, read by the water, or simply sit and listen. Many guests say the creek is closer to the house than it looks in photos — “even better than expected.”

Coffee in the morning
Lunch by the water
Painting, writing, reading
Watching the kids splash and play
Romantic creekside dinners
Tree Swings for Kids

We had a great stay here. It was quite and comfortable and clean. Our host was responsive to any questions we had and check-in was easy. The fire pit and creek was wonderful too. We will definitely be back.
All the amenities, yet with a country charm. So colorful and comfortable. Sitting on the back porch with the mountain breeze made it hard to leave and explore everything Sparta had to offer. Nice shops, great dining options, and the scenery just riding along the mountain roads. A great time!
We really enjoyed our stay at your property. The scenery was great and the area is very private I would recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway from the everyday grind of life. The property was in great shape and I love the creek in the yard. We had a wonderful time taking walks and enjoying the mtn air. The family and I are looking forward to planning our next trip there.
The property was even better than advertised. From our first peek inside the property, we could tell that this was going to be a getaway filled with relaxation, comfort, and amazing family time. Not only did we enjoy the magnificent view from the fabulous porch, the inside of the house was just as relaxing. We plan to visit again soon!
Beatiful remote property with complete privacy. Enjoyed the views of the woods and creek. Property was clean and as advertised. Very reaponsive owners. Town of sparta had multiple restaurants, grocery store, etc. Everything we needed. Wpuld recommend
We had a great time at Holler Hall and Drew & Lacey were excellent hosts. The kitchen was well stocked with whatever utensils you might need and the lounge area downstairs was excellent for spending quality family time. We traveled to the area to go tubing on the New River and Holler Hall was the perfect place for our family to stay and unwind.
We saw deer, a heron, hummingbirds, turkeys, and met the friendly neighborhood dog Sam. We'll definitely check if Holler Hall is available next time we're in the area.
We had a wonderful stay at Holler Hall! It's even better than we expected. The creek is lovely and much closer to the house than it appears in the pictures. We hope to retirn soon and highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay. Nothing compares to the beauty of this area. The home was perfect. Lots of interesting pieces, fantastic surroundings. There are a lot of cool things to do and see within an hour. Ziplining, lavender farm, fiddlers conventions, floating the river, bike rides, hikes galore, shopping and sightseeing.
The property is in a very private location near sparta. It was a nice stay. Our only constructive feedback is the AC system did not cool the house. After talking with the owner it cooled a bit but still needs review. As a note we stayed during summer months. Thanks!
