Although Floyd is our "urban" center, time spent at Mountain Song Inn, a Virginia bed and breakfast high and secluded in the Blue Ridge Mountains, will transfer your thoughts from the harried and complex to the simple grandeur of the outdoors. Sights, smells, and sounds of the country soothe, relax, and make you glad you came apart for a season... Mountain trails, if you are a walker, will lead you to streams, deer haunts, beaver dams, pileated woodpeckers, even eagles from time to time. Outdoor photo-ops abound: You never know what Nature may present for the readied aperture.

At the “edifice”, itself, inn activities can keep you busy—if you want to be busy. We have three large decks, two of which are completely covered and, of course, face the mountains. There you can rock in lazy rockers, swing on the deck swing, lay or snooze in a great hammock-for-two (or one), and there, accomplish nothing, or something—like reading or just look at the mountains till you doze off… Several bistro tables and chair settings allow relaxed deck seating for viewing, snacking, or a cool drink. A large checker set, with 3” diameter native wood checker pieces and checkerboard atop an old whiskey barrel, offers a new slant on an old, timeless game. The rear deck is heavily covered with matured wisteria vines—the glory of the spring, but nonetheless wonderfully verdant thereafter, flourishing ‘til late fall: a canopy of sheer green. This deck faces tiers of mature plantings that create a remembrance of Eden, as it were…

On the inn’s north side a large screened-in porch with wonderful mountain vistas offers you opportunity to snack, or just spend time.

The Great Room of the inn is probably its focal point—an eclectic mix of contemporary country furnishings, magnificant antiqued-style pool table (and you can play w/o pay—no quarter needed!), selective lighting and interesting appointments. A window wall faces the mountains. Window seats that can actually be comfortably slept upon flank either side of the huge-stoned wood burning fireplace—sorta like “camping”, inside. (Have done it often.)

A den/library/study is adjacent the Great Room and can be closed off for private TV, stereo CDs, or quiet reading. The ample and diverse library is available for your exploration.
