Beautiful cabin in the woods

My husband, daughter and I stayed here for 4 days during spring break. The cabin is beautiful and fully stocked with extra amenities to make it feel like home. The screened in porch was great for relaxing and we enjoyed the hammock. The kitchen is a good size, beds were very comfortable, the living room was spacious. We highly recommend this property! Kurtis was very attentive as well making sure we had everything we needed.

The cabin is a gem. It's super clean and cozy, and feels really secluded. The kitchen is well organized with plenty of materials, the living room offers a variety of games and entertainment for different group sizes and personalities, and the owners are very prompt and responsive. They even included a little white noise unit in the bedroom, which we didn't use but is something that stood out as a completely unnecessary but totally fitting touch that shows they pay attention to detail. I already mentioned the cleanliness, but it really was impressive just how clean they kept the property given it's in the middle of the woods.Important note: definitely pay attention to the entrance instructions they send you ahead of time! The direction that the GPS wants to take you is a bit precarious (we decided to check it out on our way out and I don't think it was worth it). I'm very grateful they warned us ahead of time because their alternate path is much better.

Great cabin

We enjoyed our week at Golden Ridge Cabin. It’s rustic but has been renovated to include modern amenities and furnishings. The cabin was very clean, a comfortable bed, and the area was very quiet. A short walk or drive to the bottom of the neighborhood takes you to a great river for swimming and a short trail into GW National Forest. Other trails, attractions, grocery stores, restaurants, etc are at least a 15 mile drive but the surrounding farmland makes the drive pleasant.

Oh, and a fully stocked kitchen! What more can you ask? We will be coming back and recommending it to friends and family. We are so happy that we have found this gem. Thank you for everything!

Getaway in Rawley Springs

This VRBO-friendly cabin was perfect for a couple (or two) to enjoy woodsy seclusion while working remotely. WiFi was fast and reliable. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating in, and cabin was even stocked with wood for the fire pit. During our stay, a large tree fell over the road while we were out. I contacted the owner and there was a crew there the next morning (on a Sunday) to remove it. Road leading up to the cabin was unpaved and narrow so took a little getting used to. Only letdown - neighborhood was not walking friendly and I was hoping for more trails close by (but did find one). Overall, we had a very pleasant week.

Wonderful cabin in a magical place

We had a totally wonderful stay at Golden Ridge Cabin! The cabin is so thoughtfully appointed; every detail is charming! It was stocked with all things we needed to make our time there comfortable and it is one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed at--not a small feat in the woods! The Rawley Springs location is perfect. I loved being walkable to the springs and having sweet Harrisonburg just a short and easy drive away. I hope we will be back!

Excellent, cozy getaway!

This was the perfect weekend getaway that we so needed! The cabin is cozy, welcoming, and quiet while still offering "creature comforts," such as TV, WiFi, central heating and air conditioning, etc. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, flatware, and cookware, and the gas stove is fabulous. Whomever decorated the cabin has great taste! Kurt, one of the hosts, was very communicative and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Allegheny Special" train ride (Buckingham Branch Railroad), the Nu-Beginnings Farm Store in Staunton, and the Friendly City Food Co-op in Harrisonburg. Next time we're back, we want to check out Ruby's Arcade and the White Oak Lavender Farm and Vineyard.Overall, we would highly recommend Golden Ridge Cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Kurtis

Host profile image
Fun fact about me, I proposed to my wife, Kelly, in a Vrbo. Yes, it was a cabin. From that moment on, I realized a vacation rentals are more than just "places to stay," - they're an opportunity to write a new chapter in your life. We hope our cabin, space, the surrounding mountains, rivers, and area provide you an opportunity to do the same. We look forward to your stay!

Why they chose this property

As the description highlights, it's a special neighborhood. This our home as much as it is yours. We want others to feel and experience the feeling we have at our cabin, which is to allow you to be in the present moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Its the place where you can just, "be." We hope our thoughtfulness and care in the space translates into your stay.

What makes this property unique

Directly behind the cabin, up the hill, and our property are the five acres that border George Washington National Forest. You can hike right from the property is you feel inclined. We do recommend locating some nearby trailheads, but know that that is an option. From the cabin, you can hear the, Dry River rushing. The Dry River is a popular fly fishing destination for the area, too. The cabin is a short drive to the public access parts of the river.
