About this property

Cabin amongst the trees

1 bedroom secluded cozy cabin in the trees. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a chance to get away on your own and unwind, or an office away from home!

Enjoy a drink on one of the cozy rockers in your private screened in porch. You may get lucky and spot the herd of deer, the flock of geese or the array of local birds and other wild animals.

The cabin is well situated on our property with its own private drive. You will definitely feel secluded and within your own space. Relax on the queen size bed and enjoy a selection of streaming on the smart TV.

10 mins from adorable downtown Waxhaw. Enjoy a nice stroll around the local shops or grab a bite at one of our many local restaurants. Just to name a few:

Blue Door Diner- great for sandwiches or excellent pre-packaged meals, Marcella is one of the owners and very friendly!

Provisions- great local, eclectic diner known for their Reuben sandwich and selection of local tea and coffee. You can also explore the aisles of unique grocery store items.

The Tap house- excellent bar with nice outdoor seating and occasionally live music during the weekends. Also enjoy the delish food truck in the outdoor patio, awesome burgers, fish and chips!

Great Getaway Cabin

The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway with my partner! The hosts did a great job ensuring the property was clean and comfortable and we were even lucky enough to meet one of their dogs! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay close to nature.

Amazing Getaway

This Property is amazing I went for some peace and quiet time and it was absolutely that and then some. The owners were very hospitable and just genuinely good people who really care about their guests and it shows from the time you enter the property. Cabin amongst the trees is a must have experience.

Great Find !

Glad we found the Cabin in the Woods. We’re coming home from Florida and did not want to stay in a motel. The cabin was very inviting, very clean, and bed was great. Loved the big picture windows to watch the deer. The owners were quick to answer our question. Great place to rest and relax.

I hope all my future experiences with Vrbo are this good.

A clean, quiet and well maintained property. We arrived after dark and the approach and entrance was well lit and felt safe. I can't think of anything that could have made the stay any more enjoyable. Watching the dear come up next to the house that first morning while enjoying a great coffee was amazing. I whole heartily recommend.

You must stay!

Five star all the way! We can’t express enough what an awesome place this is. The cabin is awesome! The amenities were great! The warm welcome inside with special touches just for our occasion were so sweet & thoughtful. The host are the best we have yet to experience. If you don’t stay here, you’ll be missing out on an awesome experience. While enjoying our (provided) morning coffee, we got to watch a couple deer eat & play. Thank you so much for everything Mr. & Mrs. Van Galen. The world needs more people like you. God Bless. 💚

Everything as advertised and more

So many great things to say. The property wasn't just clean, it was immaculate. No dead bugs on the screened in porch (I've seen that at other places). There's a fan that made warm Charlotte nights feel very pleasant and lights if needed. The inside is wonderfully intimate, but for the small size, you feel like you're in a castle. Huge windows look out over nature and there's lots to observe. The bed is super comfy, the shower is nice and roomy, and the pictures don't show it (yet) but there is a stove to cook on and plenty of room to manoeuvre. I never felt cramped, and can't imagine feeling cramped with two. Which there were! The best part of listing is Midge! The property comes with a no charge pet companion service. Midge is sweet and loving, and for the low price of a good bellyrub will be your companion all day until called for dinner. If you're looking for a quiet setting that's no more than 15 minutes anything you'd want to get to, this is a great place to stay. Richard and Pamela were wonderful hosts, and very responsive. They make it easy to check in and check out. I don't have a single negative thing to say. 5 stars all the way!!!

Excellent! This cabin was just what we needed for our wedding anniversary weekend. The cutest cabin! Very clean and everything we needed. We loved the wooded area and the deer roaming in the mornings. Not far off the road but enough to where it was very private. The town of Waxhaw was great! We enjoyed walking around and having dinner there each night. We spent the day in Charlotte and visited The Billy Graham Library and shopping. We were greeted by Midge the owner’s dog. The sweetest! Great stay!

Practically Perfect in Every Way!

Beautiful, Love the views, simplicity and special touches.I'd read other reviews and wasn't surprised by neighborhood school's playground and baseball field noises, or the main house being fairly close (although I never saw the residents or any other houses for that matter). The dog stopping by was a lot of joy, as was sitting on the porch listening to song-birds and watching fireflies at night. Very much nestled in the woods of a very nice neighborhood. I'd love to reserve a long weekend at least 3-4x a year if I actually lived in any of the nearby cities! It's a perfect retreat from chaos.

Visiting my dad

Came to this lovely getaway while visiting from the Pac NW. The 10/10 stars are warranted. Space is delightful, surrounding property peaceful, host super responsive, and access to downtown Waxhaw just a short 10 minutes drive. Covered, screened in porch perfect for listening to birds & crickets. Blackout shades mean no waking before you’re ready. Would gladly stay again.

Short stay while visiting family

We booked this little cabin because we were visiting family nearby. We arrived and returned in the dark each night. The cabin is lit up nicely, the host’s recommendation to pull in rather than back in was much appreciated and followed.We didn’t spend much time there during the day, so never explored the wooded lot. We did enjoy the view from the couch area and screened porch while having coffee in the morning.The cabin is well built and is tucked behind a home in a neighborhood. While the cabin is in sight of the home, shades are provided for all windows on that side for privacy. Based on the write-up from the host, we thought we would see their pets outside, but never did. We did get to watch squirrels and birds each morning.We always bring our own ground coffee when we travel, but this place didn’t have a coffee pot for brewing. It did have a Nespresso machine and they provided 5 pods, which only gave us enough for 1 day. We are not familiar with the Nespresso and did purchase some at the grocery, but they didn’t work in the machine because they were the wrong size/type. So be prepared for that.The cabin is near a school, so also be prepared to hear the loud noise of the game announcers. We didn’t mind because it reminded us of being home, but if you expect quiet in the early evening, hope there isn’t a game!We will book here again the next time we visit our family. It is in a great location for us and we really enjoyed the cabin.
