Wonderful stay!

The property and cabin included everything that we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our stay. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, and added to our enjoyment of Ferrum College's Graduation Day! We loved seeing the dogs visit us, too! Thank you so much for sharing this home with us!

Cabin exactly as advertised. Really neat to stay in a piece of history. If you are not looking for a rustic experience then don't stay here, but that is exactly what we wanted and it was fantastic. We loved using the indoor fireplace, and the outdoor shower! The host was very kind and informative, and we enjoyed the dogs stopping by. The property surrounding is beautiful with short walking trails. Very peaceful and secluded. All sorts of birds flitting around including an owl hooting away at night.

Very rustic!! No tv: lots of towels and clean sheets! Power went out but hosts were so gracious and let us into their home where they had a generator so I could make breakfast! Lovely firepit and amazing stars with the lack of light pollution. Outdoor shower was such a delight. Breakfast on the back porch was wonderful.

Great get away

Absolutely loved this rustic, historical cabin. So very peaceful. Some of the best night sleeps I've had in a long time. The Grandkids had a ball and didn't want to leave. Kerry, the owner, was more than welcoming and supplying wood for the fire ring and fire place was a nice touch. We will be back.

The perfect place to unplug…. The cabin was great, the fire pits were perfect for mountain pies and s’mores….. the owners are truly very kind and responsive…. Great property, and certainly enjoyed the company of the dogs. Simply a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!!! And would certainly stay again.

Unplugged and Remote

This is a wonderful cabin that is almost 200 years old. There is no cell service, there is no internet. It is perfect for those of us that want to leave it all behind for a break. We enjoyed our orientation upon arrival and loved our welcoming party (owner's dogs). We cooked, we had fires in the fireplace, enjoyed the unmarred starlight sky, and slept well at night. I would definitely stay again and again and again!!

Our kind of place

We had been on the road for13 days and we needed a break. This cabin provided a place to unwind with no distractions, just quiet and peaceful. We had everything we needed provided and with town only 5 miles away it was perfect for food and gas. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks Libby and Kerry. Bruce and Louise

Transported back in time

Our grown children and grandchildren stayed at this charming rustic property over Thanksgiving. So much time spent laughing, cooking, and enjoying some unplugged time to together. The kids especially loved the huge yard for running and their football games. Many thanks to the owners for extending their hospitality. A one-of-a-kind experience!

Charm in a Bottle

This marks our third stay at Maggies Farm. Not much changes out here, just as one would hope when retreating back into time. There's an undeniable energy to this old place and the air that surrounds it, a positive one no doubt, beckoning for our return each late Spring. Many thanks to the gracious hosts and their small battalion of pups who always make us feel like family.

John and his brothers are always the highlight of our season. We look forward to the stories they make, and they enrich and infuse our cabin with a flavor of family. They aren't just guests, their fellowship has made them family!

An unforgettable stay!

We loved staying at Maggie’s Farm. Kerry was such a generous host and we loved talking to him (and his dogs!) The cabin is full of character, very well stocked and on an idyllic plot of land. We had great fun in the evening watching the fireflies and the stars, making good use of the bbq and fire pit. The nearby town of Floyd is well worth a visit, and we also hiked McAfee Knob, where we saw lots of amazing wildlife including a mama bear and her cubs. The cabin’s (reportedly friendly) ghosts did not talk to us once, but it was nonetheless a weekend we won’t forget!
