OUR LOCATION

elegance in the great outdoors

Sierra Vista is a 300+ acre estate conveniently located on US Route 221 (Forest Road), the main thoroughfare between the city of Lynchburg and the town of Bedford. We believe an easy to find location and great accessibility is essential for traveling family and guests! Our beautifully landscaped entrance on this well traveled road will not be a problem to find.

MEET MARIANNE

Lover of sunset golf cart rides, travel, eating out and a good glass of wine.

Virginia has been my home for over 30 years. I have embraced its captivating beauty, been enthralled with the splendor of the seasons and fell in love with a place rich in over 400 years of history. But it did not begin that way. Having spent the first 18 years of my life in Southern California, the heavy Spanish influence had a profound effect on me and still has a presence in who I am today. It is not surprising that a little of this has made it's way to Bedford County, Virginia. We are blessed now with a 300 acre sanctuary and in the middle of it, sitting high on a hill, a stunning 30 mile long panoramic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some say it is all in the name. A name gives purpose and meaning. It speaks of who you are and what you are. "Sierra" in Spanish means mountain range and "Vista" means view. Hence... Sierra Vista! It is our little bit of the great out west in the heart and foothills of Virginia. Come fall in love with our 'mountain range view' and let the handiwork of our Creator be the backdrop for your wedding or special event! 

MEET PUPPY

Yes, that is her name! Some might consider her a snob but we love her and she greets just about everyone at the door with her tail wagging. She usually disappears during wedding day festivities but is still boss of our home. In her spare time she loves long golf cart rides and enjoying the scenery at Sierra Vista! And of course, we adore pets and would love to have them part of your ceremony should you desire! 

Sierra Vista's official greeter and resident diva.
