Bedford Vacation Rentals
Between the Peaks of Otter and Smith Mountain Lake, in Virginia's Blue Ridge.
Bedford sits between the Blue Ridge and Smith Mountain Lake, and it carries a particular weight of history: the town lost more men per capita on D-Day than anywhere else in America, which is why the National D-Day Memorial stands here.
The Peaks of Otter are up the Parkway, and the lake is south.
