Overall a great stay! My family of 9 was staying for a wedding close by. It was so cozy inside like staying in a log cabin. All the little extras made it special like having a fire pit and trails to explore. Food lion is only 25 min away for easy food trips. I’d love to come back with the family!

The house is beautiful; the interior design makes it feel like a cabin. The rooms were big, is definitely pet friendly. The outdoor space is lovely, and the walk and proximity to the river were very pleasant, plus the weather was great. The host was very attentive. I would love to go back and spend more time and would definitely recommend.

Quaint, quiet getaway!

This house was such a treat to stay at! Very charming inside with a wonderful fire pit/seating area outside. A trek through the field down to a beautiful small river where we caught lots of little fish. Over all it was a lovely experience!

The home was incredibly cozy and unique. We really appreciated the thoughtful extras (Keurigs, cozy comforter, etc.). The location was wonderfully secluded. The only “negative” was that there was no internet service. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Birthday celebration

Our experience was very good. The rental was smooth and the house was perfect for our event. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and spent the day in Nelson County. We were four couples in all and the house was perfect for winding down for the evening. The house was was so beautiful and quaint that we wished we would have spent more time enjoying it and the property. We hope to plan more events in that area and hope the house will be available!

Great place to stay during events at Oak Ridge!

This property is great for 8 or less people (with some sharing beds). Due to the structure of our group, we moved two mattresses to the living room so four grown men did not have to sleep next to each other in the loft. There are seemingly some problems with electrical/lighting as none of the lighting in the laundry/dining area near the bathrooms worked. We moved a lamp into that area to compensate. Faucet in kitchen needs to be replaced as it sprays everywhere except where you need it to. The outdoor area was nice and we made a fire in the fire pit each night.

Wedding stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved the cabin. Only complaints, showers were a bit small and the beds weren’t great as I have back issues. But other than that everything was wonderful. Great location to our wedding activities and venue. Also the host was very responsive and left a nice welcome for us!! We hope to be back again.

Nice Mountain Getaway

Nice location, convenient distance to apple orchards, wineries and grocery store. Only thing it lacked was a TV and Wi-Fi service. Cell phone signal was hit or miss. However, it was a mountain getaway, and some may be trying to escape those amenities. I would stay there again.

Lovely getaway

The house is very cozy and well equipped. We enjoyed gathering around the fire pit, hiking nearby trails, visiting local wineries and playing cards at the large dining room table. The kitchen is well stocked and perfect for cooking up a big meal for all guests. The house is wonderful, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more.

The best kind of rustic!

Charmingly cottage in a beautiful setting. Our family (11 of us) gathered here to celebrate a milestone birthday and could not have chosen a better place. The house is nothing less than adorable. It’s got that rustic mountain vibe you want in a Nelson County getaway along with those convenient comforts you need. Our favorites: sitting by the fire pit under the Milky Way, those porch swings, morning coffee and a walk down the path to the creek. Owners were very responsive, and had firewood and s’more fixins ready for us upon our arrival. We hope to return!

Perfect place for a reunion!

We could not have picked a better place to reunite with our son after almost two years (he's been stationed in Spain). The house was beautiful, quiet, and spacious. It was also well-stocked for cooking meals at home, and the patio/grounds afforded lovely outdoor eating. Plus there were ample bedrooms and bathrooms for six adults. The area is also convenient to some great hikes (try Crabtree Falls Trail), multiple breweries/wineries (check out Devil's Backbone Brewery), some yummy takeout (Blue Mountain Barrel House and Smokin' Barrel Restaurant), and many historic sites (Appomadox, Monticello). Thank you, Renee for sharing your soapstone quarry bungalow. It was just what we needed!

Beautiful getaway!

The house is gorgeous...all the wood throughout truly makes this house unique and special! We enjoyed roasting marshmallows in the firepit, playing in the river, and spending time connecting as a family without all the typical distractions at home. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and preparing meals. And the property owner was always very responsive and helpful whenever I had a question. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Getaway, Just What We Needed

We loved this charming, unplugged location! We brought our three young children to the cottage over spring break and were impressed with how quaint everything was, even better than the photos. We had so much fun exploring the nooks and crannies of the house, discovering the trail down to the beautiful river, playing games in the living room, and doing all the fun, slow family activities that we had time for without the interruptions of email, etc. The hosts had done a great job anticipating almost every need, and it was a very cozy place to spend time. We would love to know more about the history of the nearby quarry and how the cottage was originally used.

Amazing Property

This, by far, was one of the most amazing places I have stayed in using VRBO. It was extremely clean, very well stocked and such a nice, serene place to spend time with friends and family. I would absolutely stay here again!
