About this property

Small, quiet, romantic, reasonably priced cabin, next to a great trout stream

Helton Creek Guest Cabin is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 300 sq ft cabin, perfect for a quiet week or weekend on a state maintained trout stream, Helton Creek. Just imagine fishing on the creek, then grilling out or relaxing in the wonderful hot tub while listening to the creek music. The back porch is a stone's throw from the creek. In the winter you can sit in the hot tub and watch the creek go by and in the summer, there is enough shade to relax on the porch and feel the cool breeze, build a fire in the fire pit, or try your luck at catching a nice trout for dinner.
This guest cabin is great for the extended family or a couple/family who may want to rent it by itself at more reasonable rates, with or without renting the main cabin. It features 1 bedroom (queen bed), 1 bath, a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, and kitchenette with all utensils, hot plate, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave/ large convection oven. DISH TV, Wifi Internet, and phone are included. The hot tub on the private deck is available year round.
There is a fire pit between the cabin and creek with firewood provided. Additional firewood is available under the back deck of the big cabin 30 yds. away.

Dream in the Stream

My wife and I were in need of a stress break. We found this listing and decided to give it a shot since we are both outdoors people.We found this to be a wonderful property and the trout fishing was amazing! I will recommend this to friends.

Overall good stay

Location was great, nice and secluded on the river. Unit was clean but I did notice a few dead wasps in the kitchen sink area. When I stayed it was cold overnight (20’s) and regulating the temperature was difficult. There is a propane stove but running it makes the cabin way too hot and turning it off before bed and using the space heater made it very cold at 5AM. The hot tub worked great but it switched to Spanish and locked me out. I looked through directions and couldn’t find a solution. Overall my stay was good.

Loved our stay!

This cabin was exactly as expected, cute and quaint. Perfect for two people. The creek in the back was the best ever. It was so great just to go walk in it. The location was great. We were looking for some seclusion, but we weren’t far from Lansing, West Jefferson or Grayson Highland Park. It was a perfect set up for bringing our dog. The wrap around deck had a gate so we felt completely relaxed, letting our dog wander around on the deck without fear of him getting out. We will definitely come back.

The only complaint I have is there was dog hair on the floor, couch and rugs. The refrigerator wasn't wiped out and clean. The drawer the silverware was in needed cleaning and cabinets needed to be wiped out.

We loved staying at this cabin. It was the perfect little get away spot. It had everything we needed and we were close to enough but just far enough away from town. We will be back to visit again! The owners were also very friendly and helpful during our visit.

Charming spot

We came for our 5th wedding anniversary. Was exactly what we needed- time away and in the quiet of the mountains. It’s so perfect, has everything we needed. Grill works great, the hot tub is SO nice, and you gotta start a campfire under the stars 💕 we hope to come back next year!!

Peaceful retreat

My husband and I rented the cabin for my birthday with plans to go hiking in Grayson Highlands. However, it rained the entire time but we made the best of it. We enjoy a relaxing time at the cabin and visited neighboring towns.

Romantic and Cozy

Perfect getaway for a couple. Relaxing creek right behind the cabin you can hear as soon as you arrive and view from the back porch. 15 minuete drive to Grayson park where we hiked and saw wild ponies! Everything you need for a relaxing time :)

Cabin was a little tight for 3 adults & 1 English Bulldog. We made it work though. Everyone absolutely loved the porch area, even our dog loved it, with the sounds of the creek.

Loved the rushing sounds of the stream

The cabin was very clean. The covered deck was a plus, given it rained a few evenings. The stream was absolutely gorgeous. At first I was concerned about only having a hot-plate, but had no problems at all frying up a pan of bacon for our breakfast. Excellent towels and other linens.

Therapeutic getaway

We came here last year for our anniversary and loved it so much we had to come back again this year!! It was exactly the same relaxing experience, and we rarely left the cabin. We did go to the VA Creeper trail for bike rides which is close by! The rest of our time was spent soaking up our amenities of the grill, hot tub, living room to read in, listening to the creek behind us and fire pit. Best little spot.

good property but hot tub doesn't work

This is a great property and looks even better than the pictures show. small cabin but fun with creek in your backyard. even though there are 2 houses on each side with the privacy on the porch it felt nice. unfortunately, the hot tub didn't work (and this was the main reason we chose this property) so that was a disappointing aspect of our weekend.

Long weekend

This was our second time staying here. We did enjoy our stay, however this cabin could use a little love. It's not being cleaned well & could use an exterminator to help with bugs. (Not roaches) just typical wooded area bugs. We would consider staying again, as I'm sure the owner is paying someone close to clean & may not be aware of the rush job being done

AMAZING :)

Wow, I cannot even begin to express how incredible our time at this cabin was. Jim, the owner, was so accommodating and responsive and made all efforts to make our stay so memorable. Some of our favorite memories were hiking Grayson Highlands, driving to Whitetop Mountain, visiting West Jefferson, and biking the VA Creeper trail. Honestly, just being at the cabin was magical. Waking up in the morning and walking down the road with our coffee, visiting with the livestock and petting the horses, all while walking along the creek side....Book this place, you will not regret it. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to visit again!
