About this property

Spacious Cabin on Cedar Creek - Make memories at Shenandoah's best hidden getaway! Cabin is on 30 acres of creek front property. Enjoy the quiet tranquility of the forest, take out the kayaks, do a little fishing, or visit our egg laying chickens.

Ideas for your Cabin Experience...

Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea before breakfast, taking in stunning views overlooking Cedar Creek from this two-level cabin, deep in the Virginia countryside.

Cool off in the creek at the local "Swimmin' hole", which ranges from 2 to 4 feet deep, or cast your line in the hopes of catching a brook trout, or other native fish. Bring your PFD, fishing rod, and water shoes. Two Kayaks are available to paddle about - or you can coordinate with your hosts for a 2+ hour kayaking trip on the creek. Extended trips may be dependent on rainfall. Additional charge will apply.

Relax in one of two hammocks in the front yard or lounge down by the Creek. Spend the cool mountain evenings roasting marshmallows by our natural rock fire pit - firewood is provided for guests. Watch fireflies dance among the trees, while you sip a glass of local wine from our two-tiered deck.

Virginia wildlife abounds - walk the trails along the creek, woodlands, and meadows of the Cabin's 30 acres. Sit quietly and you may just see a doe and her fawn, wild turkeys, or a fox or mink. Don't sit quietly and you might see a squirrel. ;) Enjoy wild edibles when in season: Wineberries, Hickory Nuts, Walnuts, and Pawpaws. Yum!

We also have chickens on the property. We don't have a rooster, so you won't be woken by "cockel-doodle-do" in the morning. You can sleep in.

Beautiful Property

This was the perfect property for a couple. We enjoyed the quiet. The property was also close enough to towns and cities for that type of entertainment. Also close to many wonderful outdoor activities.

Paradise Found

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for, private, peaceful, and perfect. We were in need of a respite and we never left the house during our stay. We grilled steaks, we napped, we talked and relaxed. It is a magical place, and we loved everything about it. Bravo Rich and Mary!!!

Serene Getaway

Cabin was cozy and spotless with great views of the creek. So quiet and relaxing. Fishing was perfect our little guy caught some small mouth bass and blue gills. Kids enjoyed playing in the creek, fire pit / smores and stargazing. Hosts was so nice and attentive. Was a wonderful getaway with our family of 4. Thank you, Rich and Mary.

We were so impressed with Mary and Rich as hosts and their hospitality and beautiful property, which is exactly as described. So Homey, and well equipped! We loved relaxing together inside and outside and beautiful small hikes abound around the property as well as the cutest chickens. We had some crazy weather which no one can control and despite that it was the best time. We will be back for sure!

Perfect Getaway!

We wanted a place to stay that had all the amenities and was super comfortable, but that was also close to all the great hiking in the area. This place was perfect! We hiked every day, and came home to a cozy home after. When we weren't out and about, the creek was a nice place to relax and cool off! Rich and Mary were great, and very communicative, making for a great trip.

Awesome Creekside Cabin!

We had the most wonderful stay. The setting was just what we needed to relax. The owners were so nice and welcomed us to the cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and chickens! The girls are so fun to watch. It’s set back so you feel secluded yet very close to shopping and other activities. This goes down as one of our best vacations. Thank you Rich & Mary!

Great peaceful spot!

The cabin and property are phenomenal! The creek is so peaceful. We spent several hours on the deck reading and listening to nature. As a bonus, there are kayaks for the little swimming hole! The mown trails were wide and nice and shady. The chickens are friendly and their eggs are tasty. The 3/4 mile long gravel driveway was a bit scary the first time. The elevated tub was a little tricky if you aren't agile (the stool helps), and if you're over 6' tall you might hit your head on the ceiling in the shower. Overall a lovely stay, with a pleasant host. Would love to stay again!

A Quiet Gem of a Place!

This property did not disappoint! Fell in love with it the moment we stepped inside. After days of camping and hiking in Shenandoah Nat'l Park we stayed here for 3 nights to take it slower. The creek was awesome for fishing and kayaking. The decks are great for sitting and just relaxing. The beds are so comfortable. Slept great! Loved that the grill wasn't charcoal. The chickens are so fun to watch. Enjoyed the fresh eggs they provided for our first morning breakfast. Rich and Mary are awesome hosts. Do yourself a favor and book a stay here!

Peaceful & Special

My daughter (10) and I stayed here for a short, last-minute getaway. What a special place! My daughter and I loved seeing the chickens, meeting the goats, and finding other critters (like turtles, crayfish, chipmunks, groundhogs, etc). The house is very comfortable, with great A.C. and just about anything you might need on your trip! We also loved swimming in the creek and just enjoying the amenities. We never even turned on the TV; there was just so much to enjoy. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Rich and Mary!

Quiet getaway

We stayed two nights at this location. The house/cabin was beautiful and well maintained. Lots of light from all the windows and sky lights. Great fireplace took the chill off the entire place. Wish we could have taken advantage of surroundings but maybe next time! The owners could not have been nicer.

About the host

Hosted by Rich

My wife and I are semi-retired, and love country living. We raised 3 children (now adults) in Northern Virginia, and moved to the Shenandoah Valley once we were "empty nesters". We fell in love with the natural beauty that is here, including the animals that live in the forest, and the birds that come to visit. Ask me about all the animals we've seen. You may be surprised!

Why they chose this property

The Cabin on Cedar Creek has its own unique beauty - where you feel like you're in another world. It's secluded ... but it's also close to Shenandoah National Park, the Shenandoah River, and other attractions such as Shenandoah Caverns!

We also love the history of this land, which dates back to 1760 - prior to the founding of our country. When you're here, ask me about the settlers who once lived here.

What makes this property unique

You will love the tranquility of the cabin and its location next to Cedar Creek, where you can hear the water flowing and the birds singing among mature Shagbark Hickory, Oaks, and Sycamores trees.
