The cabin was well stocked and it was a very comfortable cabin. We enjoyed our stay very much and the host was very accommodating. The cabin really has the charm of an older one. Thanks again for allowing us to stay and enjoy for a week.

The location is good for site seeing and a cute town. The cabin is not a river view at all there is no access to even view the river from the cabin. The owner is very passionate about the house. Over all it was a good experience the house is bigger than ur expected however the pictures on the site for the house is very misleading.

Good news/bad news. Good: comfortable beds, appliances all work, clean (with one notable exception). Bad: Locks on front and back doors not functional on the outside -- safe neighborhood fortunately; WiFi without password and owners seemed not to understand why that mattered; Yes, generally clean but oven, drawer under it and large pile of pans in the drawer FILTHY! Closets, drawers in bedrooms full of owners' stuff so largely unusable -- huge number of Christmas decorations for some reason; kitchen cabinets, drawers and shelves so full we had to remove vast amounts of stuff so we could find what we needed for simple cooking/eating. Refrigerator with all kinds of leftovers but impossible to tell if they had been there for 24 hours or 6 months. Overall the whole place cries out for a dumpster party.

Everything was great even the band playing at the tavern near by not so loud that it kept the babies awake but enough that we could sit outside and enjoy it

Quaint, historic property that was perfect for our short stay. Well stocked with essential items needed for stay in bathrooms & kitchen. Outdoor seating area and front porch sitting area. Small country store right across the street and very close to downtown restaurants & shopping. Would book again.

The house and town are historic and cute. Swinging bridge within walking distance and leads into the town. 15 min drive from Natural Bridge. 30 min drive from Roanoke.

Quaint Cabin, beautiful views
The property was completely adequate for our needs. Despite its small size, there was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. There were some small repairs that could have been made and some spiderwebs to be cleared. Also the trains running a few hundred feet away were a bit loud. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and the scenery was lovely.
