The cabin was as perfect as it gets. The location was quiet and peaceful, exactly what I was looking for. The host provided so many extras that there wasn't anything I was left needing. The inside had the most amazing decorations ever. I took a dozen photos of the inside just to show my wife. I hope to be able to stay again, and I would offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a great getaway.

Perfect Little Getaway Cabin

This was the perfect cabin for our long weekend getaway. The surroundings are peaceful with the trout stream just across the way and the lake up the mountain road. The cabin is immaculate and I love the way the owners have it decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the front porch is lovely. We had an excellent experience and if we find ourselves planning another trip to the area, we would definitely try to book the cabin again.

A wonderful cabin and place to stay!

We loved this little cabin nestled in the Rainbow Campground. It had everything we needed. We stayed there so we could bike the Virginia creeper trail but we enjoyed all the other great things to do like hiking, going to lake and walking the trout stream. The cabin has a book with all the things you can do. We enjoyed just relaxing at the cabin and the beds were super comfy. Our hosts were very responsive and informative. Thank you!

Father’s Day trip

We booked this cabin for a sweet, little Father’s Day trip. It was such a wonderful experience for myself and the family. My husband has been fishing at big tumbling for years and said that this was the best experience that he’s had. It was so nice to just be able to relax after fishing instead of driving an hour and a half to get home after. The kids had an amazing time with the playground and cabin, I couldn’t get them to sit still. I will definitely be re-booking another trip for next year and will do it for a longer period of time to enjoy the views and relax.

Great cabin near trout stream

Very cozy cabin, nicely decorated. There were many extras provided by the hosts such as tea and spices and soaps. We took advantage of the firepit out front. No cell signal but wifi and roku provided. We had a lovely visit. Confirm that linens and towels are provided. We did not see that on the listing but did receive an email from the hosts that we needed to bring our own linens. Maybe it was because it was off season.

Thanks for staying with us! We are glad you enjoyed your visit. During our season which runs April thru end of October we do give guests the option of us providing all your linens for a minimal fee or you do still have the option of bringing your own. This option helps us to keep our rates down for guests. Thank you for the kind words. Take care.

Super clean cabin!

Cleanest VRBO we've stayed in yet, which surprised us being a cabin in a campground. Extra touches in this rental set it apart. Just about anything you can think of that you may have forgotten was provided! From a charging cord with multiple ends to a razor and shaving cream or toothbrush with toothpaste. A variety of coffees and teas, complete with creamer, sugar, and vanilla syrup. Comfortable furniture to sit in after a long day of adventures. I am certain we will be back again to take advantage of the beautiful trout stream just steps off the front porch, or Laurel Bed Lake just up the gravel road past some beautiful roadside waterfalls! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Mountain Cabin retreat

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location. No issues at all with the property. Only minor issue was with the broadband access. Given the location, I'm not sure it could be solved. 20 years ago,the problem would not existed, as I told my wife. so enjoy unplugging from the world if necessary.
