Little Slice of Heaven
Guest: Love a cottage in the woods
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Date of Stay: 04/04/09
Review Submitted: 04/14/09
It took just a couple breaths of the fresh mountain air before we relaxed into our 9-night stay at this little slice of Heaven..... The kids had a fun time riding bikes and fishing while the parents read, took naps, rested in the hammock, and relaxed. As other reviewers have said, you will want for nothing at this cabin. Just bring your food and clothes. The owners have taken care of everything. Also, these owners provide EXCELLENT customer service. We had a small problem with the oven - and they responded very quickly to take care of it! Thank you for sharing your cabin!
Owner response:Thank you Shelly! I am so happy you all enjoyed our cottage! That is my number one priority, that each and every guest has a wonderful, relaxing, vacation filled with special memories! Thank you Rebecca

Marvelous Mountain Cottage!

This cabin get-a-way is an absolute dream. Our family stayed here for the weekend to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, because he has always wansted to own a property on Craig Creek. This was a dream weekend for us . Our girls loved wading the creek, as did we, and trail-hiking, laying in the hammock and relaxing in the homey,clean and fully-equipped cottage. This cottage has it all! Nestled in the Craig Creek area of Virginia, with secnic vistas of the mountains in the backdrop and the creek right at the back door, this location is the ideal spot for getting away and truly escaping your every-day life, if you desire, although all the comforts of home are still amply provided in this darling mountain cabin. There is an inviting front porch with a foozeball table and charming "palm-tree" lamps for extending your porch enjoyment into "firefly" hour time, as well as several comfortable reclining chairs for relaxing too. Inside, it gets better! My 13 y/o was delighted to be able to watch some of her favorite shows(particularly since we don't have cable t.v.), and there were fresh linens on the beds, towels in the bathrooms to use and a washer and dryer. Cooking utensils and such were all provided as well, and all of the modern kitchen conviniences so that making a meal for your family is very do-able. The open kitchen and living room area is very family-friendly. There were great family movie selections and games to play. The decor inside was absolutely charming and very woodland style right along with the theme of where you are. There was a homey sense of wilderness that continued for you in the indoors. We wanted to spend more time on the creek than we did, but several hours a day was about as much as anyone could ask for. We took the canoe out for a spin several times, and our 8 m/o son was thrilled. Since the owner provided a johnny-jump-up for our son, we found that we needed to buy him one as soon as we got home for ourselves ( I had given away ours)! Our ability to spend time to get away here was limited, but we enjoyed every minute of it. We were able to literally leave a downtown Roanoke birthday dinner and with just clothes and port-a-crib packed, hit the road and enjoy our stay here. Our 8 y/o cried when we had to leave! It was great to see our girls up at almost dawn to play on the creek! Thank you so much for one of the best weekends we have everr had. Nora Bryant and family

Where do I start? From the moment we drove up we had a great time. We were looking for a quiet place to relax for the weekend and we were not disappointed. We found the cabin to be very cozy, neatly decorated and clean. We spent several days fishing, canoeing, relaxing by the firepit and laying in the hammock. We had all the comforts of home. On a personal note, we had the opportunity to spend some quality time with our two teenage children without the interruptions of "city life". Our evenings by the firepit were priceless. Thanks Mike and Rebecca for allowing us to spend some time at your beautiful cabin. There was one bad thing that we must write about......... LEAVING!. We didn't want to leave. We will be back as soon as time allows. If you get a chance to visit Rebecca's cabin you wont be disappointed.
Owner response:THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW OUR COTTAGE, YOU ARE WELCOME BACK ANY TIME. SINCERELY REBECCA

What a fantastic escape. We have been in the process of moving back to the USA from Portugal, and needed a family getaway. Becky's place was perfect. Not only was the Cottage comfortable with everything you could possible need, but the surroundings were amazing. We filled everyday with fly fishing, hiking, floating down the river, and eating Smores. We couldn't have imagined anything better!

Thanks so much for allowing us to spend our vacation at your cottage. We had a wonderful time. We went with anticipation of not much to do besides relax by the water but we stayed really busy. We found lots of hiking trails, walking trails, a fishing pond, a beautiful waterfall, The Swinging Bridge Restaurant was great. We had so much fun with the canoe and tubes. The kids had a great time just searching for minnows and crayfish! The cottage is beautiful and was very clean and comfortable. Next time I won't pack as much because the cottage was very well equipped! We have already had friends looking at our pictures and asking about your place. Thanks again so much. We made some wonderful family memories!
Owner response:I am so glad your family had such a good time at our cottage. You are welcome back anytime! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Sincerely Rebecca

We had a family reunion in this area and this cottage was an excellent place for us to stay (other family stayed nearby). The creek is scenic and safe for tubing, canoeing, and fishing. The full length porch (on the road side) is a great feature--cool and shaded all day with a lovely view of the mountains. You might try Swinging Bridge Restaurant in Paint Bank, VA. Good food and there's a general store, gift shop, and a pond where you can feed some BIG rainbow trout. We're still curious about meals at The Home Place on Rt 311 east of New Castle.
Owner response:Thank you Bill for taking the time to review my cottage. I am so glad you and your family had a good time and enjoyed your stay. I appreciate the way you left the cottage at departure. Its guest's like you that make my job alot easier when I have to get them ready for another vacationer. Sincerely Rebecca

We had a great stay, relaxing in peace and quiet in this very clean and well equiped cottage. Being right on the creek was the best.We brought our dog and it was great. Rafting a little fishing, sitting by the water, Awesome. Look foreward to revisiting this property in the future.
