The River Cabin
Met family at the river cabin close to Christmas and it’s such an amazing little hideaway. The river wraps all the way around the property and you can hear it all day long. Such a peaceful little place!

Peace and Quiet
We stayed at this beautiful cabin for 5 nights in October 2023. If you are looking for seclusion and to unplug, this is the cabin. Everything mentioned in the description is accurate and we found the cabin to be furnished comfortably and beautifully with little details galore. The coffee area was spectacular and everything you could possibly want was provided to make a great cup of tea or coffee. Sit on the porches and watch the wildlife walk through the yard. Daily we saw turkey and deer. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Wifi was fine for minimal use but take note that there is no cell signal so turning your phone to WiFi calling worked for texts and calls. The walk down to the creek was steep so I recommend good walking shoes and perhaps a walking stick for stability (provided on the porch). Once you get down to the water, sit on the rocks and just listen and watch. The sounds and sights were so soothing. You can hear the rushing water just fine from the porch for those not able to make the walk down. We will definitely return to this lovely piece of paradise. While in the area, go to Floyd, Meadows of Dan, Chateau Morrissette winery and just ride the back roads and enjoy the scenery. Beautiful part of VA

Fall Getaway
We were lucky enough to find this cabin available for an October weekend. The cabin is beautiful and welcoming. It felt more like we were visiting friends than renting. Watching the leaves fall while listening to the creek was so relaxing and a perfect way to unwind. The beds are comfortable in the house is well equipped. The directions were spot on, and we had no trouble locating the property. Communicating with the owner was extremely easy and they were very responsive. Communicating with the owner was extremely easy and they were very responsive. Our only regret is that we were only able to stay two nights. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional!
Beautiful cabin and surrounding property. Remote, private and peaceful. Large, roaring creek on 3 sides, but the side at the back of the cabin is the most beautiful. Everything that we needed and more. I would definitely stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Harold

Host profile image
This cabin is constructed of reclaimed tobacco barn logs from West Virginia and Virginia by my uncle. Sitting on the back deck, listening to the stream, enjoying the clear, crisp mountain air is so peaceful. Even though there are lots of wonderful places to explore nearby, this setting may entice you to never leave the cabin!
