Cozy cabin

We needed a place to stay on short notice and we were so thankful the cabin was available. It snowed about 4-5 inches that changed some plans a bit but it was very scenic and the cabin was cozy with everything we needed. Connie was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Rustic Cabin with Modern Fixings for Romantic and Quiet Get-Away

The cabin and property are beautify and rustic. While the cabin is older and authentic, it has been nicely modernized to include its bathroom and full kitchen. There are a number of local attractions and activities within 60 minutes to include caverns, horse riding, and hiking. The only potential improvement (for winter trips especially) would be a 2-4 person hot-tub outside on the porch.

Heavenly

Had a little trouble finding the place but once we did it was well worth the trip. Our navigation system took us down route 55 from Petersburg, so we got to experience the whole length of Smoke Hole Rd! Quite the drive for sure. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, very clean and well stocked. My husband loved the wilderness decor. The walk to the river is definitely worth it. Lovely scenery. My husband caught his biggest smallmouth bass ever! Overall a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!!

Cute Cabin- Very Enjoyable

The cabin was wonderful itself, no complaints. We did have some issues getting to it though. The GPS took us to the same address but with Petersburg as the city instead of Upper Tract (my mistake), so we were about 40 minutes in the wrong direction on the opposite end of the road. There was no cell service out there which contributed to the confusion. I definitely recommend downloading maps, door code, and other info prior to leaving home. We drove into town to get enough bars to call the property manager. The man who answered was helpful giving directions, but he was not the property manager. Anyway, after all that confusion, we found the property and it was lovely. There is a grocery store about 25 min away as well as a Walgreens in Petersburg. We also went hiking in Seneca Rocks and checked out the smoke hole caverns. It was overall a nice stay!

Perfect Getaway!

The cabin was amazing. It had a rustic feel with all the modern amenities. It was thoughtfully stocked, very clean, and just a perfect cozy space to relax. The waterfront was a beautiful short inclined walk away on the property and was absolutely stunning. Our stay was the perfect extended weekend and we were so glad we found this treasured location! We hope to return again!
Such a beautiful place.

Great place

Great place to stay on a quiet road, the creek nearby was beautiful and easy to access. It was central to the places we wanted to visit like Seneca rocks and Spruce knob. Cabin is open and charming. We really enjoyed our stay here and we were blown away at the beauty around every turn in this area. We definitely want to return for a longer stay in the future.

Why they chose this property

This little cabin was built in 1947 and my mother's grandfather helped build it. It sat for years and years with no one living in it and the critters, weeds and grass took over the beauty of it. Surrounded by National Forest with no one to build near you it is a cabin owners dream. In 2020 we had an opportunity to buy this gem and we did. With a lot of hard work and time we cleared the weeds, made a bigger driveway, built a retaining wall, sand blasted the original logs, put in new chinking, sanded and stained the original floors, build a new addition with a bathroom and kitchen and made this a nice rustic cozy place for people to get away and come to to just relax.
