We had a great time. The cabin is located not to far from things to do,like the ski resort, breweries,wineries and fishing. We totally loved the creek in back of the cabin,it was so realaxing,we didn't want to leave. We were only here for a few days and can't wait to book a longer stay. The cabin was nice and clean and we had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway, this is it!! The property is darling! So cozy and tucked right off the road. We heard owls in the morning and had a beautiful fire in the evening. There are tons of hikes through the national forests and a darling country store. Just an hour outside of Charlottesville but it felt 1000 miles away.

The Spicewood Cabin was exactly as described. Nestled in a mountain retreat, it offered privacy and quiet. It's 20-30 mins from great hiking, breweries and wineries. The cabin is well stocked with amenities and we were not at a loss for things to do, games, movies, books. There's was no cell coverage which was perfect for our getaway. The WIFI was good when needed. The wood stove wasn't needed to warm to the cabin, but worked great as temps dropped 30 degrees during our stay. Looking forward to returning.

Great weekend cabin!

We loved being here for a weekend with our kids. We enjoyed the tree swing, the amazing firepit area, and the awesome creek access right behind the property! You are less than an easy 18min drive to trails, a cidery and devils backbone brewery! The cabin is rustic but worked for our little getaway. The beds are emmeory foam and comfortable.They have all the amenities you need and we ALL enjoyed the stay! We will be back here for another weekend getaway!

We had a great time. The house and property was perfect for our family of four. Close to Appalachian Trail and tons of breweries, wineries, and cideries. We enjoyed the day out exploring and then chilling around backyard fire in the evening. Definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Gargano & Walker Families

Host profile image
Our two families are very close, both in proximity and in our relationships. Heather & April are both sisters and best friends. Having been born in the mountains of Pennsylvania (but grew up in Virginia Beach), they have an innate desire and love for the mountains and any creek, river or stream they can get into! Luckily (for them) their husbands, Marco and Ress are also on board with their love of the great outdoors. Native to central Virginia, Ress knows all the best places to eat, fish, hike and explore throughout the region. Marco, a native to Virginia Beach, is always looking for the next big catch in the rivers, streams and creeks. Together, with our children, we love to explore, experience and rejuvenate in Nelson County. We believe that families need to time to reconnect with one another and we can't think of a better place to do that than at Spicewood Cabin in Tyro, Virginia!

Why they chose this property

Two families, comprised of sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins have always wanted a family mountain "get-away" on a creek and surrounded by the mountains. So, after several years of searching for the right place, we finally found our cabin in the perfect location for our families to enjoy all that the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nelson County has to offer. Now, we want to share our property in order to give others the same sense of peace and rejuevenation we experience when we arrive at Spicewood Cabin. Our cabin gives you that feeling of being secluded and away from the stresses of life, however, it is close enough to local attractions and most importantly, the great outdoors. It is the best of both worlds and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
