5 minutes to Blue Ridge Parkway, Crabtree Falls, hiking, wineries, breweries

Very relaxing nice stay Really nice tranquil cabin with a porch and fire pit overlooking a little river. Bed was super comfy, bathroom was a great size. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans. Coffee k cups and creamer and sugar was provided, which was so nice. Surprised my husband with this trip for his birthday and stayed with our 3yr old and 2 dogs. Multiple cabins on the property but they’re thoughtfully placed so that each cabin renter has their own privacy and space and view of the river. Cabin had everything we needed, even firewood for a fire and access to grills with propane. Owner was friendly and communicative. Really enjoyed the closeness to multiple nature parks and trails and breweries, wineries, and distilleries. We also really enjoyed seeing the state fish hatchery too and there is Montebello Resort close by that allows for fishing without a license as it’s private. A lady at Montebello did say that unfortunately the fish prefer cooler fall weather. The nights and mornings relaxing on the porch watching the river go on by were so rejuvenating. Thanks for a great stay.

Potential, but not quite there yet This could be a quality place to stay once all work is completed but it’s not there yet. The location is remote, even by mountain standards, situated deep into the valley, but proximity to the Blueridge Parkway is a major plus. Easy drive to devils backbone and various hikes.Unfortunately the cabin is currently a construction site. The walk ways were muddy gravel with gashes from heavy machinery. The porch and balcony were covered in mud and work boot prints that we couldn’t help but track into the house, making it filthy throughout the stay. Despite the cabin being brand new, the furniture was old and sparse, no couch, no lamp, no side tables or coffee tables. Views of and access to the creek are hindered by overgrown weeds and total lack of landscaping to showcase the major attraction on the property. Common areas felt unusable due to tracks of mud left by heavy machinery. There was an open container of insect killer left out on our front porch which I had to keep my kids and pet away from. The locks were non-functioning throughout our stay. The cabin itself is quite small, it works if you just need a place to crash post-hike but don’t expect to spend much time in the place. Once all work is completed I could see it being a decent place to stay, but only at a discount compared to other options in the area.

Great cabins to get away and enjoy the outdoors! If you want to get away from it all and enjoy the outdoors, stay here. The cabins are lovely and comfy. You can enjoy your coffee on the porch overlooking the stream. Hikes and wilderness galore. Beer, wine and civilization a 30-ish min drive away. Easy check-in process and good communication. The other cabins are close but its set up well for privacy - we wouldn't have even noticed there were people staying next to us if we haven't seen their car.

Weekend Winter Stay We loved our stay! We wanted a few days out of the city to relax and stay indoors. The snow/rain didn’t bother us since we planned to stay in. The host was very responsive and helpful, advising the road conditions ahead of time and best routes to drive. The amenities were excellent…nice internet, warm and cozy heating and well stocked and clean. We’ll definitely stay again and bring our family.

Perfect Spot for Small or Large Group We stayed two nights here (2 adults and a 12-year-old) and it was perfect. Lovely setting right on the river with a porch, firepit, Adirondack chairs, equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. It's a really efficient setup with a private bedroom and couch that turns into a bed that works just fine for kids. There are four identical cabins, which would be great for a group gathering as well. However, they're situated in a way where you have plenty of privacy if you're only staying in one (as in our case). It's a quick drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, tons of trailheads, and wineries. Only a slightly longer drive to multiple breweries. We'll stay here again.

Perfect quiet getaway The cabins are new, neat and clean with everything in working order. Plenty of hot water for a shower. The heat works great. It was in the lower 30’s in the mornings while I was there, the cabin stayed warm and comfortable. The cabins are close together but are turned so that they are private from each other. When you’re sitting by your fire pit you don’t see the other people sitting by theirs. The covered back porch has a view of the creek and the small falls. Excellent spot for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail while listening to the babbling brook. The immediate grounds around the cabins are well manicured. They are clearing more areas for more cabins so there is some work going on in the area. The hosts Chris and Juliet were very friendly and helpful, providing information about the area and making sure you have everything you need. They provided that great combination of being available if you needed them but leaving you alone to enjoy the space. I really enjoyed my stay there and I am looking forward to going back. It was the perfect decompression I needed.
