What a special place! We stopped here for 1 night on our way to the coast and we are so glad we did! My 2 young boys, my husband and I loved the detail and thought put into the design and decor of the property. Definitely be sure to walk up to the gorgeous main house up the hill to see the view and enjoy the rocking chairs. Chattting with Kim and exploring the property made our visit really memorable! The beds are so comfortable, the cabin is adorable and we had a wonderful stay!
Property presents as posted; it was exactly what we were expecting. Gorgeous view is a short walk over the hill. The neighbors and dogs were all very welcoming and friendly. Playing fetch with Axle was an unexpected highlight of the trip! We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space and look forward to experiencing it during another season.
Family of 4, 2 teens… we can’t wait to go back to the little cabin in the woods. Plenty of room and we could read, watch tv, play games without being in each other’s way. Kim and Doug are wonderful Vrbo hosts. The cabin was spotless and inviting. They provided a golf cart for our use, invited us to use their porch, cooked out and asked us to join them, offered to take us on their pontoon boat, and took us on a tour of their cabin. They shared their stories and time with us and are truly just great people. We went into Edenton and enjoyed the shops and small town charm. We took a cooler with all the food we planned to make. There are 2 small fridge/freezers. We also took our own games. Great trip!
Comfy 2 beds. Quiet day and night. Private (even with houses around, all empty during our stay). Beach access is 5 min walk. Owner allowed us to walk up the main house to access the dock and beach (see pic of view). Very shaded around the house. Gas grill back at patio. Loved having the needed screened in patio (lots of carpenter bees around, they don’t sting). Well equipped kitchen, basic seasonings there. Bring shower soap and shampoo. Nearest grocery store is 22 min drive (ok for us). Small ramp 5 min walk, good enough to load a jetski, and up to a small boat.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The cabin is beautifully situated and looks just like the pictures. It was quiet and peaceful. We had a great stay. We brought a kayak and had a great time on the Chowan River where we saw 4 bald eagles. The cabin is very comfortable with all the kitchen items you would need. The bathroom and shower were clean. Beds were very comfortable. The screened in porch was a pleasant place to read and talk. Doug is a great host (and I'm sure Kimberly is too but we didn't get to meet her). There was some delay in getting a response when we checked in (we couldn't find the key) but Doug apologized profusely as he later told me he was away working all day and his phone died so that's why his response was delayed.There was a golf cart for our use but it was not working so Doug immediately went to work on it and generously let us use his practically new John Deere UTV to get around and tow the kayak trailer down to the river. In spite of the minor issues we would definitely stay again. With VRBO I'm used to having check in and check out instructions readily available in the app or posted in the property. I might have overlooked it but I suggest making it more obvious for the next visitors.Thank you Doug and Kimberly for a delightful visit to your beautiful cabin!
Wonderful get away, very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed spending a day in Edenton. People were so friendly, and we learned a lot about the local history.

Lovely log cabin...just right. It sleeps 6 but was perfect for the 2 of us. Nicely decorated and attention to detail. Will visit again when we can take advantage of all the extras. We visited in January...perfect to relax away from work.
My family and I were in search of a property that would allow us privacy and the feeling of a cabin in the woods. We were delighted with the build quality of the cabin and the responsiveness of the property managers. The explanations and details given in the listing matched our expectations when we arrived. We visited the town of Edenton exploring a rich history of early America.
AWESOME!!! Great cabin, great location, great owners. Had plenty to do without having to get into crowded beaches or other areas. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Thanks for the response I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Perfect getaway for a couple. I think it’s perfect for 4 people but any more it would be tight. Loved having the golf cart to get down to the water to sit on the dock.
Spent a weekend at the cabin for a last minute get out of town trip. Cabin was very clean, comfortable beds, and kitchen had all we needed for a short stay. Nice quiet location, short walk or golf cart ride to the river. Kids really enjoyed poking around the wooded areas and the water.
My wife and I stayed here to get away. It was quiet and amazing. No more than a short car ride to any historic place. We visited Edenton and fell in love with the town
The cabin was just as pictured. We loved relaxing on the screened in porch each evening. The pier is a short walk away and we were also able to sit at the big house that overlooks the river. Historic Edenton is a short drive away. This is a great place to enjoy a quiet weekend away. We would definitely come back again.
Came with my family to get away from the city. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Folks are so friendly and helpful. We are definitely going to return. Very neat and clean and fun! The kids had a great time. It was a wonderful weekend getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Douglas and Kimberly Liverman
My name is Doug Liverman. I live in Ahoskie NC. Ahoskie is about 25 minutes away from the cabin. The cabin was built basically to have more room when we (Kim and I ) would have all the family down for holiday weekends. It started out as just a square box shape and turned into what it is today. It is about 800 square feet sitting on a hillside just off the Chowan River in Bertie County N.C. It is pattern after a one hundred year old cabin that Kim, my girlfriend, found in a Sportsman magazine at a dentist office. Kim got me phone numbers and I called until I found the people who own the original one which is over a hunderd years old and much more rustic. We added a kitchen and a few other features to ours to make it what it is. A nice little cozy cabin on a hillside where it fits perfect over looking a pond in a quiet little area on the river. You can walk from the cabin to the pier on the river and never touch the ground.It is great for exercise if you are looking for that. As for myself I own a small business in Ahoskie and Kim is a nurse at the local hospital.There is a larger log home on the property which I try to spend as much time in as I possibly can. If you come and visit you will understand why.
Why they chose this property
Mainly for the view. When I was sixteen my buddy and I would go down to this place and hang out, at that time it belonged to his grandparents. I would watch him and a friend of ours jump off a cliff that used to be in front of the main house. The crazy things we will do when we are young . I never knew that someday I would actually have a house on the same lot. The view is beautiful and breathtaking especially on a moon lite night or an early morning sunrise.
What makes this property unique
The view and location is great and it is very quaint and peaceful. If you are looking for a quiet week or weekend it's worth the trip. You can see deer running around, you can feed the ducks in the nearby pond, watch the rabbits run by, or maybe if you are lucky you may see a bald eagle fly. There are nice restaurants in the area that you can visit by land or river. Just one problem if you go by river you will need a boat, so if you have one you might want to bring it unless you luck up and Kim and I are around and hungry. There is some shopping a few miles away, a movie theater, and some historical viewing if you like things like that. It is small town shopping no W-marts. The nearest one is about 25 minutes away.The cabin does have a deck on the back with a fire pit, gas grill, and a screened in porch. There is a front porch with old timer rockers and a small table for early morning coffee. It has a microwave, also a coffee maker for the coffee lovers.The bathroom has a walk in shower but no tub, in the kitchen there is an oven,stove, and fridge.Jets skies and fishing boats are not available but there will be a paddle boat,small john boat with trolling motor for someone who may want to fish. Canoe or kayak and fishing reels will be available for daily rental. If there is a special occasion please let us know we will be more than willing to help. Check in time is at 3:00 PM, check out is at 11:00 AM.
