About this property
Cabin on Mountain Stream, Surrounded by Forest
Answer the call of the wild at this peaceful McDowell Village retreat! This rustic yet cozy cabin is an outdoor lover’s playground, offering modern comforts wrapped in warm wood tones. Sip your morning coffee on the porch, then step out to drop a line into the rushing trout stream. Spend adrenaline-fueled afternoons rock climbing, fishing, or exploring Highland County, known as 'Little Switzerland of Virginia.' Then retreat to 10 acres of whispering pines for a night of pure, unplugged bliss.

Thank you, Meredith! I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay, again. We hope you come back soon!Lori
I loved this place I needed to get away and have some time alone. This place was just what I needed. The fire pit outside was perfect and the stove inside was perfect on a cool fall evening.

Thank you, Frank! I’m so glad you enjoyed the outside fire pit and the cozy gas fireplace inside. We are grateful you had an enjoyable stay at our cabin. Please come again!
The cabin was super cozy! The gas heater was such a great added touch! It stayed warm and toasty inside while it snowed outside! The bed was super comfortable & I really loved the spacious shower! Very secluded! Perfect for a low key getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life!

Thank you for your sweet review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please come again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was easy to find, clean, and well stocked. The property was beautiful and relaxing. We highly recommend this place and hope to stay again soon!
I agree with the other reviewers- this place is outstanding. I would love to return to see it in all four seasons! We loved sitting on the porch and watching the creek roll by during a thunderstorm. The two bedrooms downstairs are lovely, and I also found the futon very comfortable to sleep on.

We had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and private getaway. Lots of local gems to enjoy nearby or do nothing at all and relax. Everything was as advertised.

The cabin was just as described. It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the water. We also saw lots of wildlife. Overall, we had a very relaxing get away.
Beautful, charming cabin with beautiful scenery. Cabin has everything you can think of. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch and the opportunity to fish.
Lovely place, very comfortable and romantic. This was our second time there and it was just as great as we remembered. Amazing shower in the master bedroom, too. Great porch to sit on and enjoy the views of the creek.

Perfect little getaway
We could not have asked for a better stay at Clearwater Cabin! It had mostly everything we could need and more. The property is beautiful and private with trout stream running along side it. We will most certainly return for a visit in the warmer months!
