Our family of five loved our stay at the cabin! Exactly as described online. Cabin had all things needed for fun on the lake, even had a s’mores bar that the kids loved! We came for a Tech football game weekend. Easy drive into Blacksburg from the lake. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Host was excellent!

Birthday Bash

It was very nice the only thing is there needs to be more lights. It's really dark out there and more motion lights would be great. Maybe a sign that says 6143 Cabin down the hill.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Dec 2025
Helen - Thank you so much for the 5 star review and for taking the time to share this helpful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Birthday weekend stay. Your suggestions about additional lighting and improved signage are really valuable - we’re always looking for ways to enhance the guest experience, and these are practical improvements we’ll definitely consider. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Perfect Stay

This cabin in the lake is a gem. It’s everything you need and super well equipped and organized. The owner was very responsive. It’s a beauty on the lake with a private dock, a beautiful back porch overlooking the lake, a picnic/grill area with table and chairs also overlooking the lake. It was 25 minutes from Tech, so very convenient.
