Enjoy an evening on the full-length covered back deck while listening to the bullfrogs croak in the nearby pond. You're only a short walk away from fishing the stocked waters of the Fisher River.

Roku device is available for streaming on the TV, in addition to a Blu-ray/DVD player. HEPA air filter runs to keep air fresh.

The cabin was in excellent condition and well stocked with essentials. You only had to bring your own food, of course. Cooking equipment, toiletries, detergents, etc all provided. Communication with the owner was within minutes before and during our stay. An all around great experience.

Cabin was great, nice and clean and very peaceful. Comfortable bed, nice bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen, even if the stove was a little temperamental.We had hoped to eat our meals on the large covered deck admiring the view. Unfortunately their was no table on the deck and no view as the trees started about 4 feet from the rail. The area is beautiful and we explored the nearby State Parks and strolled by the river. An abundance of vineyards were close by.

Great Cabin!

The location and privacy of the cabin is fantastic. Clean as a pin and all the amenities and comforts of home. The porch and property are great places to relax, with morning coffee or drinks at night. There is plenty to do close by too. From visiting Mount Airyto finding parks to just about anything you would want to do.

Such a beautiful and secluded cabin on a hill. Much needed reset from city life. Pond and small river or stream nearby. Owners onsite but out of sight were courteous and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for a memerable time in July.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Hatcher

Host profile image
With help from friends and family (mostly my dad!), I built my cabin by hand in 2009/2010. Upon completion, I moved to Alaska to pursue a career as a wildlife biologist. I love returning to my cabin annually to visit my family, but it's a shame to let it sit empty for the rest of the year!

Why they chose this property

Nestled on a hill, just a short walk from a stunning view of the Fisher Valley, this cabin has everything. Access is available to adjacent lands (caretakers may be present on adjacent lands). Watch for deer in the fields and woods surrounding the cabin, take a walk along the ridgetop to get away from the world, walk across the nearby covered bridge to a small pond, or follow the dirt road a few hundred yards down to the stocked waters of the Fisher River. Venture a little further (20-30 minute drive) to discover countless local vineyards as well as Stone Mountain State Park, Pilot Mountain State Park, or the Blue Ridge Parkway!

What makes this property unique

A lot of sweat, blood, and tears went into the construction of Heidi's cabin! Every detail is hand-picked and every board was painstakingly placed by me, my dad, or one of our friends or family members that volunteered their time and effort to help us finish the cabin. That being said, the house has its quirks! I have a list of quirks to work on each time I go home, including the back deck lights not always cooperating!
