The downstairs areas in the arcade were super cute and well furnished. The bedrooms felt kind of simplistic compared to downstairs but they were clean. The kitchen could definitely use some more stuff, a casserole dish, real metal silverware, a strainer, tin foil, multiple and thicker oven mitts, the one that was there was very thin and I had to use multiple rags just to get stuff out of the oven. Having some single use sauce packets or condiments in the fridge would have also been super helpful. With how far the cabin is away from stores it’s important that guests are able to cook good meals! Overall the area was beautiful and I hope to come back soon.

The cabin was very clean and cute. A little spooky at night, but it enhanced the experience for sure. The bedrooms upstairs get very hot because the AC doesn’t reach them and the box fan was broken. The WiFi was awesome considering there is no cellular service out there. Overall, a good experience and I would come back!

Fatima, Thanks for staying with us, the box fan was temporary we just added units in the room today. It looks like the box fan got knocked over by a previous guest and the fan popped off the motor. It does get very dark here at night, great for star gazing :)

Virginia Getaway

Our family stayed at the Wild Horse Lodge for a weekend getaway and it was perfect! It was enough room for all of us and convenient to all the activities we wanted to do (Grayson Highlands State Park, VA Creeper Bike Trail, Abington, etc). The arcade next door really sealed the deal for our teens (and grownups too)! We only wish we had one more night to try the theater. Thanks for a great weekend!

Great adventure

The home is very secluded and nestled in the Appalachian mountain range. We generally stay at Beech Mountain, which we live, but this is a more rugged, natural experience - far fewer people with much more open space to explore. The interior of the house was lovely - while we wish it had two bathrooms, this was a minor inconvenience. Note that dogs are not allowed in the beds; this was not completely clear in the listing (or we missed it). For our hiking trip, it was a great place to relax, particularly for the price! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

4 bed 1 bath cabin. Bathroom is downstairs off the corner of the living room. 3 beds up a steep irregular staircase. That being said, no bed was comfortable. The cabin had a huge yard but is close to a surprisingly busy road. Front porch has limited seating and steep stairs onto the porch. We didn’t use the rear entrance as the owner was working just behind the cabin and had an extension cord running out of the back door when we arrived. Kitchen is small with limited utensils and the kitchen table… it needs a weight limit. All people in the group under 200 pounds but if someone gets up from the opposite side of the table, the table will tip like a seesaw. You won’t be sitting long though bc the seats are hard. Living room is comfortable but crammed with a billiards table and a stove? 10-15 minute drive to Greyson highlands state park which is convenient. No trails are available from the cabin though. Basically, if you just want a step up from camping, this will work. Avoid if you have any mobility issues. Pet friendly, but when you arrive there are signs that pets can’t be on the furniture.

Unfortunately you can't be the place for everyone. While we strive to meet everyone's expectations, sometimes it's not possible. I'll address your key points: The staircase is a little steep, if bringing folks with mobility issues,it's best to check with the host ahead of time. We do have 2 seats on the front porch, just like the listing photo. The road was busy the last few months, due to the locals repairing their land after the flooding. We were adding a guest laundry room behind the property, when asked about the extension cord we removed it immediately. The kitchen has ample utensils, spatulas, tongs, etc.. stainers, 2 sets of cooking pots and pans, bowls, and 2 full sets of eating utensils. The table made of steel i-beams. That being said is is rigid and wobbles a little due to its rigidity. We'll get it leveled with some feet. The wood heating stove in the living room is decoration, it is original to the house. There are hiking trails behind the property(see map in listing) that I told you about in person, you said you didn't want to use them because they weren't to your difficulty liking? We ask that you don't allow your pets on the furniture to help out our cleaners, we are pet friendly and do not charge a huge cleaning fee. We do this by imposing some restrictions. Overall yes, if you have mobility issues it's best to check with the hosts prior to booking. **Id like to note they almost blew up our cabin by leaving the gas stove on after leaving.**

Last Minute Long Weekend Stay

The cabin we initially rented cancelled on us the day before our trip, and lucky for us there was a cancellation at this cabin! We all loved this cabin. It was in a great location and offered a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities. There was plenty of entertainment in the house between the TV, video games, and board games. We also took the short walk to the cute little arcade a few hundred few from the cabin. Outdoors, we hung out by the stream (unfortunately the fish weren't biting this past weekend) and spent time at Grayson Highland State Park to see the ponies and found some other fishing spots nearby. There were two fire pits to choose from! (We just happened to not use either this trip.) We will try to book this one again, as long as it isn't already booked. Check out and check in were easy, and the host was very responsive in the Vrbo app with messages.

Clean and Serene

I stayed here for several days to fish for wild trout in Grayson Highlands State Park and Mt. Rogers wilderness areas. Wild Horse Lodge looks like it was just renovated. Everything was new and clean. The house is comfortable, decently equipped, and suitable for families, including ones with teens that cannot be seperated from electronics. It is fully "wired" with good wifi, Fire TVs, and multiple game consoles, and yes, there is actually a video game arcade in another building, where I fetched some firewood. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is joy for the nature lover, too. A fine trout stream runs right through the property. The place is minutes from spectacular parks with miles of trails, including Grayson Highlands and Mt. Rogers. There is a lovely big fire ring out the back door with nice benches. So far from any town, the stars at night were breathtaking. A very easy and relaxing stay. I didn't need a thing. I would really like to keep this place a secret, but that wouldn't be fair.

Nice, but needs a few tweaks to be perfect.

This place is nice, very close to Grayson Highlands and an easy drive to the top of the Creeper trail. It is also right on a two-lane highway which we weren't quite expecting. The place was clean with a few exceptions: the ice maker (which is a wonderful amenity) had clearly not been cleaned and the trashcan by the fire pit was overflowing when we arrived so was not usable. There is a creek nearby perfect for kids and pups to splash around. The tweaks that are needed are the inclusion of more furniture in the front room and on the front porch and fans. We were a group of 3, and we could not all sit comfortably in either of the above mentioned places. There is a bumper pool table in the front room that we suggest be removed in order to add more comfortable seating. There is an air conditioning unit upstairs, but the air does not adequately make it into all the rooms. We think box fans or ceiling fans could fix this problem. Finally, it would be nice if there were cleaning supplies for guests to use. There are some on site, but there is a notice telling guests not to use any thing in the room without contacting the hosts. This is a nice place, and, we enjoyed our three -day stay.

Slightly Disappointed

I've come to learn that photos and descriptions of properties are somewhat deceiving. This property is nice, however, there were a few issues. In the description/booking agreement, park passes for Grayson Highlands State Park are included during the stay: I searched of course, and did not find any at the cabin. It was also stated that the creek was stocked with fish: I spent a half of a day and did not see any. I only mention that because that was the entire reason I booked this property. I was also very disappointed in the accommodations of seating in the living area. There are 5 beds available on this property, and it seems they the max amount of guests is 10, it leaves me confused at to why there is only one (3 people) couch in the living area. We wanted to play board games as a family, it didn't pan out that way. We also tried at the kitchen table, it was not bolted down properly. I am also trying to understand why this property was not clean. I do not expect that when I pay money to stay at a rental ( rental, cleaning fees, other fees) why it is not clean. I will not go into details about that, very disappointed. I do understand that the couple who owns this property are not "local". All of that being said, I did not call the "property manager" because....why should I need to? What was agreed upon/promised to a customer/contract up front should be provided, and if that is not possible, adjustments should be made upon the expectation that you set for your customers.

I'm sorry that you did not enjoy our property. I think the photos make it very clear as to how many seats are available in the living room. We will most likely remove the pool table and add more seating in the future. The table in the dining room is nearly 300 lb I don't understand what you mean by not bolted down properly. The stock Creek on the property is stocked by the county, we've caught many fish out of it if you walk up the trail you can see notices for where they stock it. Our cleaner cleans the property between visits but if it was not up your standard we do wish that you would have reached out as that probably would have reached out as we would have been happy to remedy any issues you experienced.

The Grayson Highlands are home to the highest peaks in Virginia. The Virginia Creeper Trail, New River, and Grayson Highlands State Park are all in close proximity to our property. Most of our cabins are within a short distance of each other. For larger groups, it is possible to rent multiple cabins together.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as a vacation home to get away from busy day to day work life. I enjoy fishing the trout river next to the property, and hiking on and off the trails in the back of the property. The area is quaint, with a few local stores, Christmas tree/pumpkin farms sprinkled over the hilltops. The sound of the stream in front of the house can be heard from the porch.
