Beautiful deck views. Beautiful layout and neighborhood. Internet reliable. Very quiet. Dishes in cabinet were dirty. Furniture covers were sketchy. Glad we brought our own furniture covers. Plenty of spiders. Wolf spider landed on my forehead from ceiling. Wasps' nests everywhere. Had to buy bee spray. Softball sized nests on porch swing and back deck. Several baseball - sized nests on both decks.

Perfect place to stay for fairy Stones

The cabin was clean, cozy and comfortable. Decorated beautifully . Only about ten miles away from Fairy Stone State Park. We walked down to the large pond and the stream below the cabin. You can see both sunrise and sunset from the cabin. The host, Shannon was very helpful and delightful to talk with.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We spent four days and three nights. We were working our way down the Shenandoah and Blue Ridge and spent a few days in the area. I've been in the area a lot in years past but not recently. Was great to be in the area again. The house was a great jumping off location for our days activities. The house was as listed and the owner is very kind and responsive if you want/need to touch base. There were only two of us so the house was way more than we needed, but we enjoyed the space and our time here, and only wish we'd taken longer to enjoy the area.

Short Stay at Smith River

Older house - but very nice. Lovely breeze while sitting on the front porch swing. Main floor back deck (covered and uncovered) was great. Outside ceiling fan would make it perfect. States 3 bathrooms - but the basement bathroom was a little creepy for the grandkids. We managed well with the other 2 bathrooms. Bring your own toilet paper and trash bags (only half a roll in 2 of the bathrooms) (only 1 additional trash bag found in the island). Lovely quiet neighborhood. Read some complaints about the main floor bed - we thought it was fine. The Howery Family

Peace and quiet

We didn't want to leave. The cabin is beautiful, the location was beautiful, quiet ,all you can hear are the birds singing. No traffic. All you can see is trees from each window. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals. There are three beds to choose from, you will find one to meet your comfort. The gas grill was ready to cook homemade pizza and steak kabobs. Tv was there, but didn't need it, we were there to enjoy nature. We did encounter bear down at the pond between it and the creek. He scared us as much as we scared them. Thank you for sharing your beautful home. We will definitely be back!

Everyone enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and cozy. We loved sutting on the back deck in the evening , and to front porch in the morning having coffee. Shannon was a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a fabulous stay and look forward to returning next spring. Shannon was very helpful and accommodating! The location was perfect, cabin was cozy... loved the front & back porch! Beautiful sunsets from the front porch. The pond and creek are worth the walk. Great spot on the Map to relax and take in the what the area has to offer.

Very cozy & spacious

We really enjoyed our stay at Mays. Friendly neighbors, super quiet, nice coffee shop down the road. Drove 45 mins to Mt Airy for the day Saturday & it was a nice drive in. Dogs loved all the space and the yard. Nice game room downstairs & tons of space on the upper floor. Everything we needed for a weekend trip provided.

Cozy Cabin

This property was nice. It was not cleaned before we got there, though. There was dog hair everywhere and just clumps of it in the middle of the floor. No trash bags in the entire house. The shower upstairs does not work. The property itself was nice and the property manager was great. This property is in the middle of nowhere, but that's to be expected. Overall it was a fun trip. I would stay there again if I was in the area. Housekeeping needs some work.

Nice, Cozy Cabin in the Woods

My son and his family recently moved to Woolwine, and we feel so grateful to have found the perfect cabin for when we visit. The Cabin has that rustic and serene feel about it, and the pond with the stream is an added plus. A nice, quiet property that had everything we needed!

Family reunion in the mountains.

Quaint cabin full accommodations, cozy, yet spacious. Beautiful covered deck in back. It rained but didn’t ruin our family cookout, gas grill under covered deck. Lush trees all around. It was awesome.

Quiet cabin just off the beaten path

The cabin is as described. Shannon was very easy to work with and responsive. The beds were pretty comfortable. There is room in the upstairs bedroom to add an air mattress for more people. This is as much "in the sticks" as any city person would want. Roads are crazy curvy but paved. The pond and creek "down the hill" are more like down the mountain. What a hike back up! The back yard is a small flat area that you wouldn't want to miss your ball if playing volleyball or pickle ball as it will roll down the mountain. Beautiful countryside. And it's Virginia weather in the summer, so super hot and humid which was to be expected. Good A/C. Wood Brothers Museum worth the trip if you are a race fan. The Gordon Trent golf course was severely lacking!

Beautiful cabin, even nicer than in the pics. We loved spending time down by the creek/pond. Fairy Stone Park was a 20 min. drive, and we enjoyed getting breakfast at Crossroad Cafe. I would love to come back in the winter.
