Anniversary Trip to Burrden Free Cabin

The cabin was wonderful! The bed in the master bedroom was high quality we slept wonderfully. Plenty of room for a big family or just two. Close to two great restaurants Red dog and River house Inn. Went hiking at Grayson Highlands - it was great and close by. We thought the host was very thoughtful with the little touches. Would be back again. 5 star for sure!

Amazing Cabin in the Woods

We have been going to this area for 4 years and have stayed in a different house each year and I have to say this was the best one yet. The location was perfect, very secluded and nice hills to walk up and down for exercise before enjoying wine on the deck. The house was stocked with anything you needed and Edward was a wonderful host. We will definitely look at this cabin again next year!

Edward, the owner was more than helpful from the very minute I booked and through the entire stay, checking in on us to be sure we had all we needed.

The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It was also spacious for our party of 7. They had basic condiments/spices, cleaning supplies, etc. They had deer food and we were able to see/feed many deer. The owner was extremely prompt and helpful about the area. We had a peaceful and relaxing week there and would love to return!

Wonderful home, well taken care of! Great, quiet neighborhood with plenty of privacy. Close to West Jefferson, but far enough to make you feel like you are away from it all.

Pleasantly surprised

We had never stayed in the area and were pleasantly surprised by the incredible, beautiful scenery surrounding the cabin. The views of the mountains and the river upon driving into the community were amazing. The cabin itself was also a pleasant surprise. Set in a forest of pines and mountain laurel, it was very comfortable with many amenities. We loved seeing and feeding the deer. We very much enjoyed our stay at “Burr”den free and we will certainly be back for a longer stay.

Annual family Laborday weekend get-away

The cabin was excellent, with most anything one might need or use. The kitchen was great. We really liked the "mountiany"decor, the nice wraparound porch/deck. We enjoyed using the fire pit & feeding the deer that came to greet us soon after our arrival. We especially liked the privacy & quite atmosphere of the location. Our family typically camps (we have travel trailers) but due to some health conditions, decided to rent a cabin this year for a more relaxing time & were so happy with the "Burrden-Free" cabin!

Spacious and Beautiful Cabin Surrounded by Nature

The cabin was well kept and inviting as soon as you drove up the driveway. This was more than just a place to sleep, the cabin was equipped with plenty of extra items to make you feel at home. We had plenty of space for our entire family to spread out among the levels and find our own peace and quiet. Outside, the cabin had plenty of areas to relax and enjoy nature(including the deer). Edward went above and beyond providing plenty of information about the area and was very communicative throughout the trip.

We hope the next time you and your family are in the area you will think of us. It was wonderful to host you guys!!

Favorite Vrbo Rental so far!!

My husband and I travel a lot. We use Vrbo for six to eight trips per year, and this beautiful rental is our favorite so far. It is in a beautiful gated community in Piney Creek, NC, very close to the NC/VA state line. The beds were the best we have slept in (better than our mattresses at home!); the showers were a delight to use. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have encountered - everything you could possibly need! And the leather reclining sofa was just what we needed after a full day of hiking each day. We loved everything about this rental!

Seclusion, wild life, and access to adventures

What a nice place to stay! There was a nice balance between seclusion and access to adventures in Grayson Highlands, Damascus, West Jefferson, etc. And then there were the deer in the yard and in the neighborhood! There are deer around where I live but I have never seen bucks with the velvet on their antlers but I saw 2 in the neighborhood! So cool! I also loved the layout of the house. It was so convenient to all be together but separate when we each wanted alone time.

Highly Recommended

Stayed at this property with friends for the weekend and we couldn’t be more pleased with the cabin and the whole VRBO experience. The cabin was clean and perfectly furnished for three adult couples. The owner reached out to me in the days leading up to check in with information that made navigation to the property effortless, access to the property worry free and enhanced the whole experience. In addition, he promptly answered the only question I had and stayed in touch throughout the weekend to make sure our stay was the best possible. A true five star deal. We look forward to returning to this beautiful area and this charming cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Edward Burr

Host profile image
Both are from the mountains, and now live in the Raleigh NC area. he is in emergency services, she in sales and service in the elderly care industry. We purchased the Cabin as a way to get back to the mountains when we can. Our goal is to share the spirit of the mountains with others.

Why they chose this property

After staying in this community a few years ago for a family event, we often thought if we ever purchased a home in the mountains we would consider this area. After viewing this home on a Saturday morning and realizing it was perfect, He purchased it without her even seeing it. The property sets on 2.5 acres wooded, seclude lot with plenty of wildlife that has a big interest in us humans. (especially if you have food)

What makes this property unique

This property offers several benefits such as the added security of being in a gated community, the cabin is very secluded, the wildlife is amazing. The house itself is 3 stories, with bedrooms and full baths on each floor allowing separation when you want it, and a large main floor for all to gather as well.
