Cabin was updated, clean, and a great space for winding down after we fished all day. Everything was very comfortable and the location was perfect for our trip.
We visited for a week and loved the location. The cabin is spacious and has a great deck. I would stay again. The main issue was that the grill was unusable. It is missing the handle, and is full of char. We tried to use it, but the char caught fire and smoke was everywhere. We were outside monitoring the grill, so we were able to turn it off immediately.
The location was rural which was what we were wanting. Our last cabin rental was right downtown so this was perfect. There were three bedrooms and two baths. There was a TV in every bedroom which was awesome cause my husband and I like to unwind watching a little TV before we go to sleep and a large TV in the living room, there was a gas grill available outside that we used, an amazing front porch with lots of seating, 2 coffee makers, a Keurig and a regular coffee maker, microwave, stove, and refrigerator. It was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We loved our stay and if we travel to that area next year we plan on trying to rent again.

It was a beautiful property. It felt like home away from home.
We were in the area for a wedding. I would highly recommend this home. We will search it out again if we come back to the area. The view from the front deck was so nice and lots of seating.
This is a lovely cabin, comfortably furnished and very quiet and peaceful. It has a large porch with lots of rockers that is great for catching the breeze.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was like located close to town and wonderful restaurants. My son and I rode the Virginia Creeper trail on our bikes and we loved it.
This cabin is very nice and was clean. The large front porch was perfect for hanging out on a rainy day. It is located in a beautiful area on a large hillside lot. However, there was an obvious lack for detail. There is no place in any of the 3 bedrooms to place your luggage which was awkward, the grill was missing the handle so we didn't use it, there was a towel rack in the main bathroom that was about to fall off the wall and the grass was a foot tall. There was 4 coffee pods with the coffee maker and the house was rented to 5 people for two nights. Overall this is a great house and I will definitely consider renting it again.
We are a family and relatives of a party of 8. The house was perfect for us. Quiet location and well decorated/ equipped. Amanda was very responsive to questions. We really enjoyed the quick stay.
This was the perfect place for my husband & I to get away, and ride the Virginia Creeper trail.The house was perfect & we lived sitting out on the deck!
