Discover Blue Vistas Cabin! This Romantic Mountain Hideaway is perched high on a hillside with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our Cabin is set up like a duplex with two units - East and West. The parking area is shared and each unit features its own private hot tub, screened porch, private entrance and amenities. Located on 14 acres of privately owned property, you'll delight in Star Gazing from your Private Hot Tub and waking each morning to the Natural Beauty of the Blue Ridge! Only 2 minutes from Shenandoah National Park and the Swift Run Gap Entrance to Virginia's Skyline Drive.

Inside you'll find all the comforts of home - plush towels and robes in the bathroom and quality bedding on top notch mattresses to assure a wonderful nights sleep. You'll need it - because there is so much to do and see. We are a short drive from dozens of wonderful Virginia Wineries, only minutes from Shenandoah National Park, home of Skyline Drive where you'll be amazed by the hundreds of hikes to choose from - waterfalls to peaks and vistas - it's all just a few miles from your door. We provide all the hiking guides for the Park, picnic basket and backpack too.

If History is your passion, this is the perfect home base for visiting Monticello, Montpelier and several nearby Civil War sites and Battlefields.

We invite you to unwind, relax, get back to nature, and reconnect with one another in our beautiful mountain hideaway.

                            My sister and I booked a weekend in Cabin East, hoping for a chance to reconnect and unwind. The second we walked into the charming, cozy cabin, we knew we had picked the perfect place! From the beautiful view, to the screened porch, to the quant architecture, to the huge comfy king bed, everything had a sense of charm to it! Obviously, our favorite part was the hot tub (particularly under the stunning starscape at night). Blue Vista Cabins afforded an opportunity to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (no cell service, which I loved). And Charlottesville was only a 25 minute drive away. I loved this place so much that I have already booked my next visit!

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

                            "Just one more day!" That is what we're saying as we pack up to leave this cozy little hideaway. This has definitely been our sweetest anniversary celebration yet. Now we're trying to think of all the reasons we need to come back and celebrate something else. The little living room with the cozy settee to relax in, and the wonderful, plush King-size bed were our favorite spots. Not to mention our excursions to the hot tub every night. We came here with hopes of gaining some quality time together, to relax and rejuvenate our tired bodies. We leave having fulfilled all the above and more. Thank you for providing a place of respite. You will see us again. God's blessings to you all.

                            Thanks for an amazing weekend at this beautiful cabin. We had a great time and really enjoyed everything, especially the hot tub. Thanks so much for the recommendation of hiking Bearfence Mountain trail, it was truly an out of this world experience. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks for everything!

                            We LOVED this peaceful, beautiful piece of heaven! The Cabin is filled with so many wonderful, artistic touches - it was fun finding new touches throughout the day. The hiking is sublime - so close to the cabin, it felt like it was a part of it all. Thanks for a great stay.

                            We were happily surprised to find this little cabin online and even more delighted once we got inside! This was the perfect little getaway for us to reconnect for our 5th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed touring the wineries and hikin gby day, and relaxing in the hot tub and watching movies by night. A mini home away from home! Thank you for all the wonderful surpirses when we arrived and for all the comforts we could have needed. Hope we can come back someday! And the pottery is delightful to use and see displayed around!

                            What a beautiful place to spend the first few days of married life! The cabin was more perfect than we could have hoped for...we felt right at home. We look forward to coming back soon!

                            We truly enjoyed our stay in Cabin West. We planned a last minute getaway to the mountains and these accommodations were amazing. The jacuzzi was perfect after a day of hiking. Thanks so much for the perfect little cabin, we look forward to returning again.

                            Thank you for sharing this little get away with us! It was exactly what we needed to unwind and celebrate our 2nd anniversary. We enjoyed the quiet and all the little creatures - butterflies, frogs, bunnies and deer! The hot tub was a perfect way to end each day and the bed was comfortable. We will tell others about this cute little place!

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 1999

                          About the owner: Alun and Norma are retired professionals who now have a life of pottery, gardens, grand children and the rental of mountain cottages and homes they have restored. Alun located in the Blue Ridge Mountains 27 years ago when he retired from being a USCG Lic. Captain. Norma joined Alun here in the mountains in 1994 after a background in social services, education and psychology. She takes particular pride in furnishing and decorating our properties for the maximum enjoyment of our guests.

                          Why the Owner Chose Stanardsville:
                          We had driven by this property for many years on the two mile route between Blue Ridge Pottery, our business and home. Located on an outcrop of Greenstone, a precursor to Jade, this property looks all the way up Lydia Valley to Skyline Drive. In addition to the outcropping of massive igneous rock this property has active springs, fish filled ponds, and views of the Blue Ridge and Hightop Mountain. When a For Sale sign was posted we bought it the same day. Two years of hard work transformed it from an abandoned building to a modern, comfortable accommodation with two rental units - East and West.

                          The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
                          Some properties have beautiful views of the Blue Ridge, few are nestled high in a mountain valley surrounded by woods, springs and ponds, and are literally a part of the mountains. This mountain hill farm has become a comfy place to use as a base camp, it is ideally located on Rt. 33 and only one mile from the entrance to Shenandoah National Park. Four Presidential homes, 25 wineries, numerous battlefields, and all the outdoors of the National Park are within a one hour driving radius.
