About this property

Real Log Cabin w/ Trout Pond close to Mcaffee Knob, Dragons tooth, Tinker Cliffs

Amazing handcrafted cabin located in the center of the "Roanoke triple crown" (McAfee's Knob, tinker cliffs and dragons tooth trails) just minutes from each trail head. Cabin is tucked away from everything. No other houses can be seen from the cabin. The cabin features two queen beds, and a futon. The cabin overlooks a beautiful pond filled with trout that you can feed, with a small waterfall cascading in. Cabin was sustainability built with trees from the 20 acres it sits on. McAfee's Knob trailhead is 10 minutes away, Andy Layne trailhead to tinker cliffs is 9 minutes away.

This cabin is the perfect location to use as a basecamp for hiking the Triple crown- all 3 trailheads were within about a 10 minute drive. We hiked every morning and were back to the cabin by early afternoon. Every night was finished off with a campfire and s'mores outside. The weather in early April was absolutely perfect!

This was a great secluded cabin to spend the weekend! It was an a short, scenic drive to the AT trailhead to hike to McAfee Knob, which was just beautiful! We even passed some thru hikers on the way back! It’s about 30 minutes to Roanoke where we got dinner and walked around. It’s a cute little town. There’s a great store there called Mast General Store that I got lost in because they have everything! The house itself is clean and was equipped for what we needed. They supplied a keurig coffee maker and had some pods too which was nice. And we loved the porch swing to sit and listen to the birds and the short rain storm we had. The host was very quick to answer a few questions I had as well. I would definitely recommend this property!

The cabin was sooooo cute and totally private tucked in the woods. It had everything we needed for our short weekend stay. It was well-appointed and very comfortable. The host was very responsive. The smoke alarm was beeping when we arrived and he was there within moments to resolve it.

What a beautiful spot to land after our crazy hard Triple Crown AT hike! The cabin is impressive — a true log cabin but with stylish details throughout. Comfy beds, nice bookshelf selection, super hot shower, fast laundry, front porch swing, and trout pond with food available to feed them. Ronnie is a gracious host, providing guidance regarding our route and water availability, as well as the delicious and authentic Pancho Mexican restaurant nearby. We loved our brief but restful stay!

Super location for hiking

Lovely, secluded cabin very close to multiple trailheads. Trout pond has a waterfall and it is so peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the water and look into the forest. Interior is nicely furnished and comfortable.

We had a great time at the cabin. The kids enjoyed feeding the trout and running up and down the path. The home was well stocked with essentials and was incredibly cozy. We would absolutely stay there again, especially this time of year.

Wonderful seclusion!!

We loved the log cabin in the woods. Although we had plans to explore the area, instead we chose to stay on the property and simply enjoy the awesome porch swing!! Peaceful, relaxing and secluded. Also loved feeding the trout.

The location was great for privacy and being out in nature without hearing cars - only the sounds of the trout splashing (feeding them was a highlight), and tall trees with fireflies lighting up the forest at night. The cabin was very modern and comfortable, with a full clean kitchen and air conditioning. It was the perfect place to stay while exploring trails along the AT in summertime.

Beautiful cabin with amazing attention to detail. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Very peaceful location to unwind, relax, and recharge. No better spot if hiking in the area and need a place to stay for the Triple Crown. Great experience and plan to return.

Great house, perfect location

Our family of four stayed here to hike the triple crown. It’s just the right size and the kids didn’t even have to share a bed! We thought the bathroom could only be accessed from the master bedroom but it actually has another door from the kitchen area so that was great!

Catawba cabin

Very nice cozy cabin, close to AT and trails, 30 minutes to Roanoke. Nicely appointed with kitchen items, seating etc. Driveway is steep and gravel with some concrete for traction at sharp turn and ok after a trip up and down but more of a challenge in the dark. Secluded and quiet and a great place to relax. Bring binoculars if you’re into birds, saw scarlet tanagers, ovenbirds, pileated woodpeckers +

Girls trip and hiking McAfee Knob

Four friends stayed in this perfect cabin. Outside, it was so serene and breathtaking with the leaves changing color. Inside, it was warm, cozy and super clean. We enjoyed our night away and then drove an easy 10 minutes to the parking lot at McAfee Knob trailhead for the sunrise. Highly recommend the cabin and the hike! Ronnie, the owner, was wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for having us Ronnie! Would love to bring my family here sometime soon.
