Love the cabin. It was our 6th year coming this time of year. Usually the cabin is stocked with toilet paper and firewood but this year we ran out and had to go to the mountain store. The first year we came there was a Christmas tree in the loft but they don’t put one up anymore. The pig that comes to visit did not disappoint. My grands love the pig! We didn’t see any other animals like in the past. It’s still our fave place to come spend quality time together as a family.

We had an amazing time at the guest house. The property is amazing-very private, beautiful, and the owners provide plenty of activities to do. The kids enjoyed the fishing and the kayaks and the pigs that came by to say hello! We still definitely recommend to family and friends. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great family weekend!

Our family stayed at this cabin for the weekend. It’s nestled on a beautiful piece of property with views of the mountains, a small lake and animals- farm and wild! The cabin was spacious. Our kids loved the basement with games. The bedrooms fit us well. Only complaint in the bedrooms were squeaky beds; otherwise, very clean! We ventured to nearby hikes and towns. Thank you and we hope to return soon!

No WiFi as Advertised !

Listing for property actually says under amenities: "Available in the house: WiFi" We contacted the owner while there and we were told there was no wifi at the property. We would not have stayed at this property had we known there was no wifi. As a matter of fact, we left a day early. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!

Fall in West Augusta VA is AMAZING

My family and I are from the DC area and wanted to spend a couple of days enjoying the Fall colors and mountains. This booking didn’t disappoint. The owners are amazing and the 900+ acres to enjoy were wonderful. The owners even delivered more firewood when we ran out after having a nice big fire the first night. They even stopped by to share some great info about where we could go see some great local sites. We sat by the fire in the family room and watched a movie. We made a bonfire outside and played corn hole(which they provided). They even have folding chairs for guests. We canoed in their biggest lake and skipped rocks. We enjoyed their bison and pigs. We took pictures every where we turned. The cabin awesome! It is a little dated but very clean and everything you need is provided. We made breakfast both mornings and dinner once without any issues. The beds were comfortable but the box spring squeaked a lot. You can hear when people are moving on them. There is absolutely no cell phone service or WiFi which was scary at first but very enjoyable as me and my family unplugged for a couple days and actually enjoyed each other. We would go back to this wonderful place and I’m sure my three daughters ages 16,14 and 8 won’t forget this memorable trip. We are thinking of a spring time trip here!!

Fantastic Stay!

WOW! What a great weekend! 65 or 70 on Friday made for a great hike & evening outdoor fire, then woke up to about 3" of snow on Sat. morning. Cabin is nicely appointed, beds comfy, great fireplace inside with wood stacked & waiting for you. We were greeted by "Ferdinand" the pot belly pig and were fortunate enough to meet Luke while walking around the property. What an inviting couple :-) Morning especially picturesque with sun rising over the mountain, steam coming off of the pond, and a Momma cow & her two babies running across the field. Truly a wonderful place and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for everything!
