Fun Tiny Cabin

We really enjoyed the beautiful tiny cabin and it's proximity to Grayson Highlands. The cabin was well equipped and had a great sunrise view. The short walk to the stream was nice, too.

Deep into Virginia

The place has all that is needed except for: a comfortable mattress in the main bedroom, a can opener that works, and unbroken sturdy firepit chairs. We were very close to fun creeks and parks to explore, so we did. And It was nice to rest in a cool place after a full day of fun in the summer heat.

Amazing place for rest after hiking

We used the cabin as our base for a hiking / bouldering experience with the multiple options within minutes all around. Great set up for the three of us. All the little things we needed in the kitchen and so many things to make the stay super enjoyable and comfortable. Plenty of space to lounge and stretch out after long days of hiking.

The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The description provided is accurate. It is located a short distance from Grayson State Park and I highly recommend taking the time to explore. The community arcade was a fun little way to keep busy while at the cabin. Overall it was a great experience! I would recommend this cabin to others and will be visiting again.

Great for a long weekend getaway

Had a blast, enjoyed hiking Grayson Highlands State Park. The arcade was very cool unfortunately weren't able to check out the drive-in theater due to poor weather conditions. The only thing I wish I knew about ahead of time was the neighbors dog molly free roams all the adjacent homies from hers. My one dog isn't great with other female dogs but luckily my friend was their to help distract Molly when my pup needed to go outside or to leave with us.

It was one of the best family experiences we’ve had. The house in fact didn’t save an effort to provide comfort and convenience for their guests (us). The property has almost all possible amenities you would want. The idea of running it smart through the smart assistant (Alexa) made it very easy and convenient. Heater are everywhere there even a washer and a dryer. The arcade room is another story. It made the most fun for the whole family. I will really consider staying there again. Thank you so much.

We WILL be back...

Location, peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, all you could possiy need. We chose Rumple's Retreat at Highland Hideaways for our 2 week stay so we could visit 8 different state parks in SW VA. Since we camped near Natural Bridge and Lynchburg on both ends of the trip, we brought way too much. Really, a suitcase and a grocery store visit enroute is all you need. Oops, and a rocker for the front porch time; there is a table and chairs though. A couple of not such abig deal things about this beautiful cabin: - be patient with the door lock responding to unlock - morning in the summer comes around 5 to 6, due to the window coverings or not. The loft is really bright. We have a dog, so that was not much of a problem and on some mornings we wanted to be on the trail early. - Alexa sometimes talks with her mouth full, so she is difficult to understand or hear. - Water is delicious straight out of the tap. We were out too late or in bed too early to get the opportunity to use the fire pit or grill.

Disliked: Communication

There was no communication regarding check in instructions prior and no one is on site when we got there. I could never get anyone to answer the phone at check in time. We followed all the suggestions and the place was never warm. Woke up all night freezing. No heat in the bathroom at all. Towels were very small and rough. The blinds in the bathroom had missing pieces as well as blinds in other windows. Therefore we didn’t feel at ease there. It’s January and it is cold of course and there was a thin bedspread on the loft bed. No extra blankets. Sheets were very cheap with lint all over them. Listed as an 2 bedroom but I don’t consider the loft being a bedroom. No door, no closet and no where to put your clothes away. Also very narrow spiral staircase. It’s very hard to take things up and down. They says it sleeps 8. There is only 2 beds and a couch. They list a fire pit as an amenity but was full of snow no one got it ready for guest and there were no chairs to even sit in. Lastly the arcade was accessible but most of the games were not even powered up and there was absolutely no heat in there so who would want to be in there anyway. Very disappointing experience. It was not worth the extra fees. Would have been better off at a hotel.

Short stay

Got away for a few days. Cabin very nice and clean. Very small but fine for the 2 of us. Nowhere to put your clothes except a hanger next to the bed. There is a dresser but it was full of other things. Bed was very comfortable. Everything was provided that we needed. Arcade was nice but mostly everything had a cost. We enjoyed the free air hockey😊 . Had a hard time locating the “drive in movie theater” but finally found the screen on the backside of the arcade. Might be a good idea to tell people exactly where it was located. Not sure we ever found the trout stream. We did find a nice little stream on the road to the right of the property but unsure if this was the place mentioned to fish. We went to the state park which was really lovely and also visited Abingdon and Wytheville. We saw a show at the Barter theater which was awesome. All in all a nice trip but unless you are an avid hiker, not much to do in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Highland Hideaways

Located in the Blue Ridge Highlands of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Highland Hideaways is comfortably situated on the Virginia and North Carolina state line in Grayson County, VA. The Grayson Highlands are home to the highest peaks in Virginia. The Virginia Creeper Trail, New River, and Grayson Highlands State Park are all in close proximity to our property. Most of our cabins are within a short distance of each other. For larger groups, it is possible to rent multiple cabins together.

Highlands Hideaways has direct access to Grayson Highlands State park via the trailhead across the river, following Wilson creek you will see cascading waterfalls less than half a mile up the trail.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as a vacation home to get away from busy day to day work life. I enjoy fishing the trout river next to the property, and hiking on and off the trails in the back of the property. The area is quaint, with a few local stores, Christmas tree/pumpkin farms sprinkled over the hilltops. The sound of the stream in front of the house can be heard from the porch.
