Experience a simpler time in one of Wythe County’s oldest standing structures. Built circa 1850 from rare, hand-hewn American Chestnut logs, this lovingly preserved historic cabin blends old-world romance with modern luxury.
We have just completed an extensive, top-to-bottom spring cleaning, and the cabin is completely refreshed and sparkling for your summer getaway! Updates include brand-new, comfortable living room furniture, featuring a cozy loveseat and a plush, oversized recliner perfect for sinking into after a day of adventure.
Nestled right off Rt. 52 and I-77 with effortless, flat access (no winding, tricky mountain roads!), your worry-free mountain escape begins the moment you arrive with easy self-check-in. And just like that old TV ad promised, we’ll leave the light on for you.
Inside the Refreshed Cabin
• The Living Room: Unwind in our brand-new, premium furniture. Put your feet up in the plush, oversized recliner or curl up on the cozy new loveseat by the warm glow of the remote-controlled gas logs in the original stone fireplace. Features a 43” HD flat-screen TV with DirecTV and complimentary Wi-Fi.
• The Modern Kitchen: Fully equipped with a full-size electric range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, cookware, and a large eat-in table. We provide coffee supplies for your first morning, basic seasonings, sugar, and creamer.
• The Bedroom Suite (Upstairs): A romantic oasis featuring exposed chestnut logs, a pillow-topped queen bed dressed in luxury linens, a large walk-in closet, and a 43" HD flat-screen TV. Fall asleep to the magical sound of a summer rain shower on the classic metal roof.
