Spacious Cabin on Cedar Creek, Shenandoah Forest Immersion!

Spacious Cabin on Cedar Creek - Make memories at Shenandoah's best hidden getaway! Enjoy the quiet tranquility of our 30 acre forest, take out the kayaks, do a little fishing, or visit our egg laying chickens. Perfect for forest bathing (shinrin-roku), wild edible foraging, bird watching, and nature immersion.

Ideas for your Cabin Experience...

Some come for the forest immersion (aka "forest bathing") where we have stations set up to experience the forest: at the creek, by a meadow, or deep in the woods (5-6 locations in all) accessed by easy trails. Forest immersion emphasizes slowing down and being present in the moment rather than reaching a destination or achieving physical exertion. Observe, touch, smell and listen to the forest and the animals. Take only memories, leave only footprints.

Other ideas - Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea before breakfast, taking in stunning views overlooking Cedar Creek from this two-level cabin, deep in the Virginia countryside.

Cool off in the creek at the local "Swimmin' hole", which ranges from 2 to 4 feet deep, or cast your line in the hopes of catching a brook trout, or other native fish. Bring your PFD, fishing rod, and water shoes. Two Kayaks and a canoe are available to paddle about - or you can coordinate with your hosts for a 2+ hour kayaking trip on the creek. Extended trips may be dependent on rainfall. Additional charge will apply for a guided trip.

Relax in one of two hammocks in the front yard or lounge down by the Creek. Spend the cool mountain evenings roasting marshmallows by our natural rock fire pit - firewood is provided for guests. Watch fireflies dance among the trees, while you sip a glass of local wine from our two-tiered deck.

Virginia wildlife abounds - walk the trails along the creek, woodlands, and meadows of the Cabin's 30 acres. Sit quietly and you may just see a doe and her fawn, wild turkeys, or a fox or mink. Don't sit quietly and you might see a squirrel. ;) Enjoy wild edibles when in season: Wineberries, Hickory Nuts, Walnuts, and Pawpaws. Yum!
Consider this your private forest nature retreat filled!

We also have chickens on the property. We don't have a rooster, so you won't be woken by "cockel-doodle-do" in the morning. You can sleep in.
