Enjoy your getaway in a peaceful setting in this unique cabin built in 1840 with built addition, walk-around porch and deck. 3 streams surround the property with multiple walkway bridges to access the ample yard. Natural fire-pit with everything you need to enjoy a cozy fire (firewood provided). 4 bedrooms with sleeping space for at least 8 people (Queen bed, bunk bends, 3 futons, full cot). 2 full bathrooms, plus an exercise/yoga/meditation room stocked with free-weights, fitness dvds, mini fridge, and essential oils.

Only a 5 mile drive off the interstate, and nestled between Staunton and Harrisonburg: only 7 miles to Historic Downtown Staunton or about 15 miles to Harrisonburg (home of JMU). Massanutten Resort is only another 10 miles further from Harrisonburg (25 min drive).

Only 500 yards/0.3 mile walk to the access point for the Middle River for fishing, swimming, canoeing, tubing. A few houses are around but you still have privacy due to a big yard and trees surrounding the cabin. The small country road is in front of the cabin, but it is not very busy at all and there is a line of small trees to give shade and privacy to sit on the front porch and enjoy the sounds of nature, birds singing and the bubbling brooks in the back yard.

The space: Enjoy your stay in this peaceful setting. Sit on the front covered porch and listen to the symphony of nature, birds singing and the rain falling on the metal roof. Relax on the back deck overlooking the yard. The sounds of three bubbling brooks flowing from natural springs flow through various parts of the ample yard into the main stream at the back of the property. If you like, you can walk down to the stream and put your feet in, but it can be very chilly certain times of the year! Keep an eye out for the resident Bald Eagle that lives around the area. And in the early hours of dawn and late sunset you may see the friendly visiting deer in the back yard (or sometimes the front!). This cabin is my favorite place to be, whenever I am there I just feel calm and happy. It has all the charm of a rustic cabin in the country but also combined with all the necessities and not too far away from town (4 miles). Unplug your phone and enjoy the peace and comfort of nature surrounding you.

These rooms are small but there is still plenty of room for your bags and provided are luggage racks. Upstairs nook area has a Serta Sleeper Pull-down couch. This is the perfect spot to read a book with ample lighting overhead, or use as a sleeping area: laying down the back cushion it becomes a twin size bed.

Upstairs Main Bedroom has Queen Size Bed and another Serta Sleeper Pull-down couch. With this sleeper couch pulled down, the bedroom door will still shut (I made sure!) But you may have to pull the couch out from the wall slightly in order for it to lay down fully. Its very light and placed on furniture movers so its very easy to move.

***keep in mind, this cabin is not handicapped accessible. It has three levels and no bathrooms or bedrooms are on the main level.

***Also this is a rural setting so there is no wifi but I have installed a cell signal booster which works with major cellular plans: Verizon, Visble, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile. I have no problem streaming movies, watching YouTube videos, and general web browsing with my phone (I have Visble/Verizon). So if you have any devices that can use your cellular plan, you should be all set for any of your internet usage needs. The closer you are to the booster unit, the better your signal will be. The booster is in the living room to the right of the TV. But I have streamed a 45 minute YouTube video in the basement below and it still worked great.

***In summer months there will be window air conditioning units installed in each of the 3 upstairs bedrooms and one in the kitchen on the main level.
