We loved it so much, that we came back again this year. Great location for leaf looking. We enjoyed seeing deer wander through the property and star gazing at night.

It gives me great pleasure when guests enjoy the property.
Always welcome back.
Next year the meadow I recently created behind the studio might have goats and chickens...... :-}
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is very comfortable and it was so very peaceful. Exactly what we had hoped. Michael was easy to work with and gave us plenty of recommendations of things to do. We hope to return soon!

Wonderful opportunity to meet the both of you. your timing with the weather and the leaves was perfect.
I look forward to seeing the both of you next spring.
The Springhouse was very clean and had nice amenities. We really enjoyed the beauty of the property (amazing stars on clear nights) and although we did not utilize the studio, that was also very nice and updated. We will definitely stay again (and recommend to others) if we are in the area.

Hello John, I am certainly glad to hear you had a wonderful stay. Communication was easy and the cabin was left very clean. Thank you for the hat you left on the dinning room table. Cheers!
Easily accessible. Great communication from the host before, during, and after the stay. Cabin had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs. Great location to access all the places we wanted to go.
I cannot speak highly enough of our stay. We loved everything about the cabin and the grounds. The extra touches of honey, candles, soaps and lotion at the kitchen sink made it that much nicer. Great communication with the owner and perfect directions on how to get there. I am already going to book a return trip!
There was coffee and honey on the table when we arrived. The bed was extremely comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. It is a rejuvenating place to stay.

The house was very nice and clean, well kept and stocked. Outside and the outdoors around it was simply beautiful. The sauna looked very nice although we did not use it.
Beautiful and serene, we enjoyed 2 weeks of rejuvenation. The property was beautiful and we also spent time hiking, biking and site seeing in the local area. Meadows of Dan was very convenient for shopping for groceries and local art.
The owner was very responsive and provided great suggestions and tips that enhanced our visit.
Great place to get away and recharge.

I absolutely enjoyed working with Nadine. I felt honored that Nadine selected my AirBnB as a destination to spend 2 weeks of their vacation. Nadine & husband drove from Houston to stay at my cabin! And to boot she is a professional photographer. I hope in the future to post some of her pictures.
In need of some destressing and relaxation, my husband and I spent 5 nights at this amazing rental. It was what we needed and more. The property and the history was fascinating. We were immersed in history with all the modern conveniences.
The owner was phenomenal; from answering all my questions about the property to the jar of honey gifted to us from the bees on the property!
We hope to return again, soon!!

Lynn was a wonderful guest. She shared her website where Lynn makes hand built and throown pottery in her studio. An interest in pottery we both share.
The property was left in fantastic shape.
The cabin and mediation house were wonderful, but the best part was quietness of the property and the attention to detail for comfort that were evident. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed very comfortable, and the living room was super cozy--loved the sofa. My husband enjoyed just sitting in a rocking chair on the porch enjoying the quiet. We come to the area often due to family ties and the cabin will definitely be one of our places to return to.

Very thoughtful review. The cabin has been my passion to build a retreat to share with others.
The cabin is close to everywhere we wanted to be, but it is set back far enough from parkway that we had tons of peace and privacy. No 4WD is required to access the property. The cabin was well-stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. Also, the linens were wonderful. The host provided us with good information about the property, local area and he is very responsive.
Fabulous location to Blue ridge Parkway; host was marvelous, many standard supplies already there!!! Kitchen stocked w/ plenty of pots n pans, foil, cellophane, etc. Bedrooms had plenty of room, large living room, huge front porch! Firepit was magnificent... charcoal n grill n wood n kindling...you name he has it or will provide...too much to share!

Korinna, It was wonderful meeting you and your guests. I certainly happy you were able to enjoy outside cooking and the firepit.
Please feel free to contact me to schedule future visits.
What an amazing stay. Mike and Diana were awesome hosts. My wife received a bee care lesson, we cooked out nightly on the fire pit, and she even saw a bear!
The property is the type of place you just don’t want to leave. Plenty of room to explore, and watching the sun set on the property from the chalet is a heart-filling experience. Complete solitude, yet connected to the outside world by excellent high speed internet, and only 5 miles door to door to Meadows of Dan Food Market (open until 10 PM).
We will be back, if Mike will have us. I highly recommend you give this spot a try.

This property is a woodland dream! We saw many wildlife everyday! Over 20 species of birds to cheerfully wake up to, deer, turkeys, bear, and even a bobcat made an appearance. It was great! It’s a roomy 3bedroom cabin with all conveniences of home, well furnished with just about anything you would need.
Secluded, peaceful and my family loved it! We are planning next years trip already. The owner is very friendly and helpful, tipped us off on fun things to do within 30 minutes from the cabin. We spent a day in Floyd for an artisan trail of great art, a day at Fairy Stone Park and Mabry Mills. My daughter in law even got to help and learn about the owners bee hives. I highly recommend this property if you enjoy the forest and seclusion! Seriously we did NOT want to leave!
"Into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul."
This property is amazing. The house is beautiful with big windows to enjoy all the amazing views. The owner is a great host. He left us a jar of honey from his bees that are on the property. He even offered to set up a demonstration with the bees for my children. The meditation studio is beautiful and we enjoyed music there on the covered porch. We fished in the ponds, played in the creeks, walked in the woods, and cooked on the outdoor fire pit. We all had a blast. I enjoyed the little things like the wildlife and the art around the property. The outdoor cooking area has all the amenities needed to prepare a whole meal outside. The owner responds to requests promptly and was just a really nice guy. We look forward to visiting again.

The moment this property came into sight we knew we'd be coming back! It's PERFECT! If you want to detox from life and immerse yourself in nature with complete privacy this is the place. The cabin is a perfect size and generously, graciously appointed, very comfortable but! Don't stay inside! If you love fabulous hiking and scenery, this is the place. If you like quaint friendly small town charm, this is the place! Everything suited our needs. The bees! The birds! The honey! Mark is an excellent intuitive host. We are grateful for the work and effort he has put into ensuring his guests are thoroughly satisfied. Thank you! WE'll be back...SOON!
When we arrived, traveling through the wall of rhododendrons that opened to the charming cabin, I knew I made the right choice. Michael stopped by to introduce himself and share his local knowledge. He is genuinely invested in guests' enjoyment of his magical property and I am so grateful that he shares it with the rest of us (and our dogs).
We spent 75% of our time on the porch, observing wildlife (so many pollinators!) and enjoying the natural surroundings. Every exploration of the property was met with new inspiration. I appreciate that nature is allowed to be wild there, with natives flourishing to the benefit of all that rely on them.
Inside, the cabin is comfortable and decorated with care. We only used the primary bedroom, but the bed and linens were so cozy! The room also stays dark with the curtains drawn, so plan on sleeping later than anticipated.
Our week went by in a blink, and we definitely were not ready to depart, but left refreshed and filled with gratitude. Thank you!
Wonderful property right off the Blue Ridge Parkway just as advertised excellent host truly enjoy to be hold quiet tranquil and peaceful right off the Blue Ridge Parkway thank you so much for relaxing stay

Happy to see taht you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the susgestion on adding the drip coffee in addition to the french press. Now we have both.
This property is isolated and quiet. There was plenty of room for the kids to run, play and enjoy s'mores at the fire pit. It's also conveniently located within 30 minutes from everything we wanted to get out and do.

This property was wonderful! It was secluded and perfect for our mid vacation wind down from camping. Loved the meditation house and the gift of honey from the honey bees. Cabin was so comfortable and had very nice bedding, kitchen appliances and cookware. We loved to shop in the town of Floyd and Meadows of Dan. There are some very nice hikes close by! We will definitely stay again!
