This was the perfect getaway for my wife and I. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. Mitch and Bobbie were always quick to respond to any messages and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We spent our days kayaking down the river and the nights making s’mores by the campfire. If you’re looking for a nature getaway, this is the perfect place! We could not recommend highly enough!

Mitch and Bobbie were great hosts! The cottage was extremely clean and provided a relaxed atmosphere for my family. During our stay, Mitch and Bobbie were in the area and reached out to make sure we didnt need anything from the store, truely thoughtful hosts. We enjoyed cooking out, smores around the camp fire and catching minnows in the creek. The kids played cornhole and horseshoes and loved searching the creek turtles and crawfish. The Virginia Triple Crown trailheads aren't too far away from the cottage either, the views from Dragontooth are breathtaking. Thanks for a great stay!

Bobbi and Mitch’s cabin in a word is, perfection. The sleeping porch was heavenly. Waking to natural light, turkey gobbles, and woodpeckers feeding was so peaceful. The canoe and kayaks made for fun adventures down the creek and my husband and son enjoyed fishing along the banks. With recommendations from Bobbi, we took 3 glorious hikes - one with spectacular bluebells in bloom. We felt like family in all communications and loved being at this cabin. The s’mores parts and lots of firewood provided made our nightly fire pits great. Looking forward to coming back this summer to float the river on the provided tubes! Thank you, Bobbi and Mitch!

Where to begin? First of all was the location, a little tucked away valley in the middle on the mountains. Second was the view, sitting having my morning coffee overlooking the creek and forests that ran up to the ridgeline on the other side of the creek (if there was any civilization on the otherside of the creek - you could not see it from the cabin). Bobbie was a great host and the cabin was stocked with everything you could think of (including a pair of hiking poles which came in handy as I had forgotten my own back in Toronto). Finally the sleeping porch was fantastic, falling asleep with the breeze coming through the porch and being able to look out at the night sky was amazing.
