Escape to our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Fall asleep to sounds of Little Mary’s Creek, enjoy your coffee on the wrap around deck, or delight in exploring your own 7 acres in the forest. Our cabin is a cheerful, clean cottage to come home to- or decide to spend your days on property splashing in the creek and sitting out by the fire pit.

The space
Our cozy cabin is a new build that celebrates our relationships and planting roots in Virginia.

It comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed on the main level and 2 single beds in the loft. We are happy to accommodate a 5th guest on a trundle bed in the loft for an additional fee.

The eat in kitchen is fully stocked to prepare all of your meals. We provide organic coffee and teas, sugar, creamer, olive oil, salt and pepper. The bathroom features EWG certified clean shampoo conditioner and local artisan soap.

Unplug, explore, read from a carefully curated selection of books, or play a number of favorite games. Turn on the tv upstairs or the portable DVD downstairs to enjoy a variety of movies.

Our cabin is on the side of the mountain with some steep terrain and lots of natural elements outside to discover. The creek is a fun place to splash and explore.

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Remote, but not TOO remote - close enough to outdoor activities. The house was equipped with everything we needed for comfort and convenience. Lots of personal touches in the home.

Absolute wonderful little hide away. The cabin was clean from top to bottom. It had all the amenities you need for a comfortable get away with your significant other or a week long stay for a small family. The mornings were so nice and peaceful with the birds singing and the water rolling over the rocks in the creek. Definitely a great place to unwind and get back to nature. Highly recommended. I will definitely be booking for our anniversary trip next year and probably the years to come.

A lot of times you rent a place and when you get there it's not quite what you expected...but that is NOT the case here... Its even better in person..and the stream beside it is so relaxing. We hated to go out anywhere cause we just wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet. Thanks so much Alicia!

The cabin was very clean and accommodating. We felt extremely comfy and cozy in this wonderful space. My kids really appreciated the snack basket and all the board games. We watched a few movies and enjoyed the fire pit almost every night. My family explored the creek and the woods and loved the view, especially at sunset. At night, the sky was filled with more stars thab I ever see. If youre looking for a peaceful getaway in nature, this is the place. We would love to stay again next time we visit.

Absolutely beautiful stay!! This cabin is a dream! It is even more beautiful than the pictures portray. Just a couple of things to note- the cabin is heated and cooled by two mini splits and it stayed pretty warm inside. Secondly, I would recommend bringing your own pillows as they were not the most comfortable. Otherwise, this is a must visit!

The cabin was adorable and cozy and the area around it was gorgeous. It was too cold for much time around the firepit, but it was relaxing to just read and play board games. We enjoyed hiking at Crabtree Falls. It was a perfect Thanksgiving getaway.

Great cozy space. This is a fantastic location if you are looking for a remote spot to be off the grid. The creek is a huge advantage compared to other listings. As long as you are ok with no WiFi and bad cell reception, you will love it.
