It was a beautiful spacious cabin surrounded by gorgeous farmlands. There were parks and hiking trails and many other things to do in nearby Lynchburg. It was a perfect spot to celebrate our 46 wedding anniversary.

Beautiful cabin

Love this place! The cabin is so relaxing, we loved it. They left us some snacks and water. They even left us body wash and shampoo if we needed it. The bed took a little to get use to, but we stayed a week and I will be booking again when in the area! Amazing place!

Cozy cabin

Our stay was lovely. The cabin is beautiful. It was about 5 miles from liberty University where we were visiting our daughter. Great location. Unfortunately the fireplace was not working but the owner did come over and give his best effort to help us get it going and we certainly appreciate that.

Wonderful & cozy!

Had an incredible time here, and we’ve decided this will always be our home base when we’re in town! Cabin was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. It was the perfect location - far enough to feel secluded but close enough to make accessing town very convenient. Some reviews mention being close to the road, but we didn’t find the noise to be an issue. Some reviews also mention the bed. We’ve never slept on memory foam before and it was certainly disorienting at first but we actually loved it and slept really well both nights. We also met a ginger kitty who was sweet as can be. 10/10!

Cancelled by owner the night before

I called the owner the night before for check in info as I had not heard from him he told me that there was already someone else in the cabin. We had booked this cabin in Feb. 5 months before and paid in full needless to say I was not a happy camper. We did get a full refund from him. However I can not help but think of I had to cancel the night before I would have been out the money I feel he owes me more then just what we paid some kind of reimbursement for all the trouble we had to go through to find another place to stay on short notice.
