Secluded Mountain Cabin, Lakefront, Hiking, Fishing, Relaxing

This cozy, rustic, mountain retreat is situated on four secluded acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It is also only fifteen minutes from the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway for lovely drives or numerous other hiking trails. There are several Civil War battle sites within easy driving distance, for those history buffs in your family.

If something romantic, peaceful, or adventurous is what you are seeking...you have found it!

Relaxing

Me my wife and my brother was so stressed from working we had to get away. Ive been looking everywhere to find a place that was right for us then we found the cabin with a private lake. The whole weekend we enjoyed being away from people technology and enjoyed being with each other.

Great Escape

We spent just 3 short days in this cabin. The location is beautiful and so lush in the spring. The opportunity for some casual fishing in the pond was fantastic. We appreciated the air conditioner, full kitchen, and collection of DVDs.Nothing super fancy but a lovely spot for a weekend escape to the mountains.

Spent 4 days here with my fiancé and two friends , and we absolutely loved it, it was so relaxing and refreshing , the property is gorgeous Only negatives i have to say , if youre bad at following directions (which i was given) you end up on a very hard to pass road and will likely get stuck if you dont know what youre doing .. if you follow the owner directions properly you get a very easily passable road (like i said , my fault not theres but just for anyone in the future that makes the same mistake lol) also theres no ceilings on the bedrooms .. and definitely could use a second fan but all in all , it was an amazing experience <3(:

Wasted vacation

Evidently rustic means trashy, trash all around the property trees, falling all over the place, just waiting for the next one to fall through the cabin not as advertised took forever to get into the cabin because things were taken care of properly

Pleasant Fall Stay

We wanted to see fall colors and enjoy some cooler temperatures, and we got all that and more. The cabin is nestled in the trees and right next to a small lake, very picturesque. Check in was opening a padlock on the mailbox. The cabin is a nice size for 2 and is nicely equipped for meal prep, relaxation and unplugged enjoyment.

Wonderful getaway cabin

Perfect cabin for relaxing, unplugging and hiking the nearby trails! The cabin has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved that we could cook full meals in the kitchen and there were plenty of pots, pans and utensils. The wood indoor stove is top notch, we loved having cozy fires at night. There were some games, books and DVDs at the cabin which were great to have on hand to relax.The view of the surrounding area and stars at night are stunning. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns and of course going to Shenandoah NP. This place is exactly what we were looking for- cozy, secluded, and romantic.The hosts were very responsive and kind, and provided great directions and instructions. We would love to come back again.

The perfect Valentine’s Day weekend getaway

Our stay at the cabin was everything we hoped for. No cell service? Check. No WiFi? Check. Beautiful scenery? Check. Secluded? Check. The cabin is in wonderful, rustic condition. The deck and stairs looked fairly new and felt very stable. It was stocked with everything we needed, including cookware, towels, bedding, movies, and games. Using the fireplace was awesome and incredibly easy to clean up with the tools found onsite. Communication with the owners was seamless and prompt. Their instructions on how to locate the cabin were spot on. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
