Overview

Whitetail Hide-Away is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Bedford County. It is nestled in a private, wooded setting with a mountain creek behind the cottage.
This makes for a great romantic get-away. It is very popular with couples on their honeymoon, celebrating anniversaries or just looking for quiet secluded place to rekindle the flame. It is very private there are no other homes nearby. If you're looking for scenic, peaceful place to retreat from everyday stress this is it.
This cottage has spiraling steps to the upper and lower floors. It has a full bath on the upper level. The upper level has a queen-size bed. The living room has a queen size sleep sofa. The lower room has a full size bed. Please bring your own linens, pillowcases & towels.
The lower level also opens to a covered and screened patio with a 5-person spa in which to relax. We are meticulous in cleaning and maintaining our spa.
We do not use the "Book it Now" feature with HomeAway because they charge the visitor a 9% fee for using that feature. We have to pay an extra $200 per year to HomeAway for not allowing them to charge our guests the extra fee. We strive to keep our cabin affordable. You won't be disappointed staying at our cabin. You will enjoy the peace and quiet, soaking in the hot tub, grilling on the deck while be serenaded by the creek and just kicking back!

Why Michael Ashworth chose Central Virginia
We bought this property because it had many qualities that I knew would make it a great get-away. First is location. There are no other homes in sight. The closest in one direction is over 1/4 mile and in the other direction over one mile. Too many vacation get-aways are jammed up together and offer no privacy or peace. Another attractive is how cozy the cabin is. It's an A-frame and not a sprawling mega-house with no personality.
What makes this cabin unique
This property should be specially attractive to guests because it's directly handled by the owners. We want our guests to have the same quality vacation we expect when we travel. We encourage and welcome our guests to call us at any time while staying here if they have any issues or need any information about the area. Since, cell phone service is limited in the area of the cabin we welcome guests to give family members our home and cell numbers in case family members need to contact them in an emergency and we will gladly go and relay the message.

Wonderful!

Nice, simple and private. Just what we were looking for
The cabin is obviously well maintained and you couldn't ask for a better location if you want privacy. The trade-off of a little extra packing (bring your own linens) was worth the lower price and then some. There was an issue with the key when we arrived, but it was resolved fairly quickly so no problems there.
The kitchen had everything we needed and more. With 2 young kids (4 and 6) it was nice to find a family friendly cabin. We always got the natural bridge safari this time of year and wanted to find a place to stay instead of a long drive to/from. It was nice to get to the safari refreshed and have a quiet place to return to. We had everything we needed and a very enjoyable trip.
A couple of "quirks" you should be aware of that are not really negatives, but were something of a surprise. The stairs are narrow so tall or wide shouldered folks will find it tight. I wear a 42 jacket and I found myself turning at an angle going to the lower level. Not really a problem going to the upper level as the stairs are open. The driveway is tight if you are in a big vehicle. I.e. a 4 door, long bed pickup. You can turn around, but it takes a number of up/backs and is much easier in daylight. Also, there is no/limited cell reception. My wife's work phone had 1 bar and our personal phones had no service so if you need to stay "connected" this may not be the place for you.
All in all, we would recommend it to anyone and hope to use it next year for our safari trip.
Best part of our vacation!!
While looking for a place to stay on our vacation, I was so worried I wouldn't find anything that would suit all of our needs like this place did!! The cabin was a adorable as the pictures and it had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect and much needed after all the walking we did around Natural Bridge and Lexington! The owners were very easy to work with and made the entire process very simple!! So happy to have found this perfect little getaway! We will be back to stay again very very soon!!
wonderful
We had a great time ,very relaxing.
Amazing
Beautiful house our girls weekend was made better
ABSOLUTELY A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!
Wow I don't even know where to start. This cabin was simply so beautiful and the most homey, cozy place I could have ever visited. I am ever so Thankful I had found this place, within only a weeks notice. It had everything we were looking for, from the Astonishing Moutain Views, to undwinding in the hot tub after a busy day. I thought it was the coolest thing ever how the hot tub was right outside the door from the second bedroom which was downstairs. Also the hot tub is screened in which was perfect on a rainy day. There was A/C units on both Top & Mid level. Which the one on top was perfect for people who need noise or like it to be cold when they sleep, ( like me) haha. The cabin is VERY CLEAN & you can tell it has been very well kept. Nothing beats waking up early and watching the sunrise on the back deck! Also there is a grill so comes in handy if you plan on grilling out. Also the creek that sits right behind the cabin is just ever so peaceful. I can honestly say this was by far the best cabin experience I have ever had. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from the world we all need to at times and this is the place to do it at. Plus the Landlords are the most sweetest, understanding people. They were so awesome, I really appreciate everything they did for us. It's so nice to see theyre still real genuine people out here. Hands down couldn't of asked for a better weekend this weekend was one for the memory books.! We hope to be back soon :)!!

Just the setting we were looking for!
From the first moment we contacted the owners, our experience was first rate. Good communication gave us proper expectations, and upon arrival, everything was exactly as advertised. The cabin is clean, secluded and there was much more space than I expected. We absolutely loved the hot tub. There are great attractions in every direction, more than we were able to take in during our first visit. We can't wait to come back!
