About Atkins
Tucked into Southwest Virginia's Holston Valley, Atkins is a quiet rural community in Smyth County surrounded by classic Appalachian scenery. Situated along Route 11 and Interstate 81 just east of Marion, the area provides convenient travel across the region alongside a relaxed countryside pace. Rolling pastureland, tree-covered ridges, and the Middle Fork of the Holston River frame the neighborhood, creating a scenic backdrop for daily life.
The community has deep historical roots, highlighted by the Old Stone Tavern, an early 1800s limestone landmark that once welcomed pioneers heading west. Today, Atkins offers a peaceful, close-knit environment with plenty of open space, mountain views, and easy access to outdoor recreation at nearby parks and hiking trails.
