Fernando left us our 77th 5 star review on AirBNB! He stayed with his Family for the New Year Holiday and enjoyed his visit to nearby Raffaldini Vineyards & Winery.

"Peter was an extremely good host. Made sure we had everything we needed and had some great recommendations to the local wineries and shops. We had a great time at Raffaldini. The property is on a hill with beautiful surrounding mountains and a trail to the river down below. Extremely relaxing and very peaceful. Highly recommend it!"

Elizabeth left Bramabella.com our 73rd 5 star review on AirBNB. She was staying with us for a wedding at the local wedding venue Big R Orchards - Wedding & Event Venue. She was also kind enough to share these beautiful photographs of the main waterfall with us.

'We were in town from Ohio for a family Wedding at Big R Orchard and Peters place was the perfect place to stay! Very clean, comfy beds and gorgeous surroundings. Our favorites were taking a hike to the waterfalls and drinking coffee on the rocking chairs on the porch. Peter was flexible with check in and very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you Peter for a memorable stay at your beautiful home!'

We received our 72nd 5 star review on AirBNB from Sam who came to Bramabella.com for a girl's weekend that consisted of wine-tasting at the local vineyards and reveling in the beauty of Nature.

'This place is absolutely stunning. It was great for a girl's trip, also great for recovery 🤣 after the wine trip! There are so many amazing local vineyards, check them all out! You walk in and immediately feel comfortable. It's very cozy, very homey, everything you could need is there. Just get some groceries and set yourself up for a good time! The outdoor aspect was 10/10, locations great, and Peter was incredibly responsive. Would stay here again!'

I am so excited that this event is unfolding at Bramabella.com this weekend, a place that I often refer to as 'The Holy Land.'

Our guest, Diane, who is such a kind and wonderful person, is on her second visit to Bramabella.com . She stayed with us during Thanksgiving previously, but wanted to experience the property in the height of Summer and blueberry season, so she booked a second time. Here are two stunning pictures that she shared with me from her trip this week. The first is of blueberries that her grandson picked for the Family down in our mature blueberry orchard, which is 300 bushes. We planted an additional 1,200 which will be ready in a few years, maybe even by next Summer. And the second is the most photographed area of Bramabella, the main waterfall, which one might call our 'piece de resistance' of the Estate.

We received another 5 star review on VRBO from Beth who stayed with her Family at Bramabella.com during the height of blueberry season where we allow our guests to pick for free. We now have 1,500 blueberry bushes on the Bramabella Estate with 300 of those being mature, and with plans to plant another 1,000 or so soon.

'I couldn’t have more wonderful things to say about our stay! We were secluded enough to feel unplugged and enjoy nature, but also close enough to town for quick store trips and an occasional meal out. We picked blueberries right off the trees which were delicious and my 3 yr old said it was her favorite part! The hike to the waterfall was so cool and also accessible for my toddler and 70 yr old parents and even my sister who had knee surgery 6 weeks ago. It was nice to have nature right outside the door. My kids, husband and I stayed downstairs which was so nice so that we could have adult time upstairs without the kids being bothered. Our monitor worked great even though I was worried it may be too far. The first day I noticed our water pressure was very low and I messaged Peter and he had it fixed within a few hours! The showers were great after that! We truly had such an amazing visit and I would recommend staying at Bramabella to anyone and everyone!'

We received another 5 star review on VRBO from Danielle.

'A Beautiful Mountain Vacation

Our family had a wonderful stay at Bramabella. This home is better than the pictures.. open and airy and lots of space to spread out. It is beautifully furnished and has everything you need to enjoy time with loved ones. The owner has paid close attention to every little detail, and was quick to respond to any questions/concerns that we had. We were lucky to enjoy the ripe blueberries!! We will be back again for sure.'

'And speaking of Wilkes County hospitality, a heartfelt thank you to Bramabella Vineyards in nearby Moravian Falls, our lodging sponsor for this round.

Their five-bedroom Airbnb is nestled on a 40-acre property with a gorgeous view and everything our team needed to unwind and refuel—including a well-equipped kitchen and grill, both of which we made good use of for our Sunday and Monday night judges’ dinners.

In season, Bramabella is home to more than 1,500 blueberry bushes (yes, guests can pick to their heart’s content), and they also sell honey from bees that pollinate the berries, plus beautifully made local blueberry jam handcrafted from the vineyard’s own harvest. And just a ten-minute stroll from the house? A serene stream and waterfalls you’ll absolutely want to make time to explore. I know I’ll be back!'
