Recently renovated, this 100 year-old cabin provides all the charm you would expect yet it is paired with modern amenities that will make your stay comfortable, cozy and relaxed.

We are only 16 miles from the base of Wintergreen Ski Resort which offers skiing, snowboarding, hiking, dining, family events and more! For our hiking friends, we are only 1/2 mile to an Appalachian trail head that will put you on the path to hike the summit of either The Priest or Three Ridges. In addition, we are only 5 miles to the magnificent Crabtree Falls, one of the tallest, cascading waterfall sets this side of the Mississippi! If fishing is your thing, we are located on Harpers Creek (trout stocked) and about a 50 yard walk from the Tye River. Our secluded property invites guests to sit back and stargaze next to the firepit while enjoying a glass of wine, making s'mores or cooking out on the provided grill. Dining in or dining out? Totally up to you as we are within 15-20 minutes from the Brew Trail in Nellysford, Va. Enjoy local brews, wines, ciders and food in beautiful mountain scenery! Devil’s Backbone, Blue Toad Cider, Bold Rock Hard Cider and many more are only a short scenic drive away!

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway, this is it!! The property is darling! So cozy and tucked right off the road. We heard owls in the morning and had a beautiful fire in the evening. There are tons of hikes through the national forests and a darling country store. Just an hour outside of Charlottesville but it felt 1000 miles away.

Loved our stay here!

Our family really enjoyed our stay in the cabin. We were able to explore the surrounding area to include hiking Crabtree Falls, and spending three days at Wintergreen. The cabin was very comfortable for our family, and we also really enjoyed the cabin’s outdoor amenities. The two bedrooms had super comfortable beds with probably the best mattresses I’ve ever slept on!! The wood burning stove was such a neat touch that we enjoyed.

Great cabin for a get-away

Such a nice property! We especially loved the outdoor spaces - deck, fire pit area, and the bench beside the creek. Quiet and peaceful! Very close to the trailhead for the A.T., which we loved. Go north to climb Three Ridges or south to climb The Priest. The bed was super-comfy too! Great place to unwind.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great stay at your cabin. It was exactly as shown online, clean, and full stocked with everything needed. It is located to so many great things to explore- hiking at Cascade Falls, Montebello for fishing and taking a horseback trail ride, short drive to Natural Bridge State park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved listening to the creek running out back while sitting either on the screened porch, the back deck, or out by the campfire. Thanks for all of the great recommendations on things to do while we were there. Communication was great. We loved your cabin and hope to stay again if we return to the area. Many thanks!

Wonderful cabin!

We stayed here for two nights- were planning to camp nearby but the weather was not favorable. This location was perfect and the cabin was so cute. We enjoyed coffee/reading on the porch in the morning and smores around the fire at night. The kids loved the hammock and the creek. It is close to several great hiking trails and breweries. We will definitely stay again.

Overall really nice experience. Enjoyed relaxing and spending time with the family. Kids enjoyed the swing and board games. Patio area and firepit were the highlight of our trip. Cabin decor is welcoming and cabin is well stocked with basic essentials. Cabin could use some deep cleaning around base boards, corners, under furniture, and ceilings. Photos on VRBO are outdated. Kitchen has been updated with new cabinets and appliances. Pictures of the creek were misleading. The creek behind the property had little to no water and was disappointing. The pictures show a flowing stream of water with a higher water level. Recommend adding a stackable washer and dryer in the larger bathroom. Nice getaway with beautiful scenery. We would definitely return again.

Just Perfect!

Our 2 night trip was just perfect. The cabin is truly a home away from home with lots of attention to detail. Kitchen is well stocked with everything needed and more. There are lots of games and DVDs. The backyard is perfect for bonfires, and the stream invites to play and linger. The swing and the large yard are inviting to hang out and play. It was a perfect stay!

Wonderful Getaway

The property was perfect for my husband and I, and we can't wait to go back and bring the kids next time! Unfortunately, we didn't fully get to take advantage of the outdoor space and fire pit because of the rain. The creek was full of water though, and we loved listening to the "rushing" sound it made. The cabin was very cozy and close enough to lots of breweries so we were able to visit many of them. It was a wonderful weekend getaway!

Relaxing Retreat

Our family and friends had a wonderful, relaxing experience at Spicewood Cabin. It was cozy and clean and the owners thought of every detail, such as directions and brochures to different local places as well as ensuring small things that you may need/have forgotten (eg insect repellent, tape, scissors, etc) were available. The enormous wood pile was great to have for the fire pit and the kids played for hours in the creek skipping rocks, exploring, and catching minnows. We will definitely be coming back again!

Spicewood Cabin is a lovely retreat

My partner and I spent six wonderful days at Spicewood Cabin. It was a lovely and cozy cabin filled with nice touches throughout. Heather was very communicative and a caring host. Her description of sights to see and helpful brochures were very useful, and we used these to explore nearby hikes, wineries, and cideries. The creek just outside the cabin is beautiful and really makes the place peaceful. The only issue folks should be aware of (and that the owners make clear in the property description) is that there is no cell service. (Also no WiFi, but we found that to be a nice break.) For calls, you rely on calling cards that the owner provides. Heather very helpfully worked with me to get one because the two cards at the cabin did not have much or no time on them. All in all, I would recommend Spicewood Cabin to others. It is such a breath of fresh air!

Great weekend cabin!

We loved being here for a weekend with our kids. We enjoyed the tree swing, the amazing firepit area, and the awesome creek access right behind the property! You are less than an easy 18min drive to trails, a cidery and devils backbone brewery! The cabin is rustic but worked for our little getaway. The beds are emmeory foam and comfortable.They have all the amenities you need and we ALL enjoyed the stay! We will be back here for another weekend getaway!

This was a beautiful little country rustic home. It was cozy inside and outside. It is a mountain retreat. Stop by the store for groceries before you go check in. The only thing I would change is to some tv channels. The two bedrooms are connected by a door.

About the host

Hosted by Gargano & Walker Families

Host profile image
Our two families are very close, both in proximity and in our relationships. Heather & April are both sisters and best friends. Having been born in the mountains of Pennsylvania (but grew up in Virginia Beach), they have an innate desire and love for the mountains and any creek, river or stream they can get into! Luckily (for them) their husbands, Marco and Ress are also on board with their love of the great outdoors. Native to central Virginia, Ress knows all the best places to eat, fish, hike and explore throughout the region. Marco, a native to Virginia Beach, is always looking for the next big catch in the rivers, streams and creeks. Together, with our children, we love to explore, experience and rejuvenate in Nelson County. We believe that families need to time to reconnect with one another and we can't think of a better place to do that than at Spicewood Cabin in Tyro, Virginia!

Why they chose this property

Two families, comprised of sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins have always wanted a family mountain "get-away" on a creek and surrounded by the mountains. So, after several years of searching for the right place, we finally found our cabin in the perfect location for our families to enjoy all that the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nelson County has to offer. Now, we want to share our property in order to give others the same sense of peace and rejuevenation we experience when we arrive at Spicewood Cabin. Our cabin gives you that feeling of being secluded and away from the stresses of life, however, it is close enough to local attractions and most importantly, the great outdoors. It is the best of both worlds and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
