About this property

Whimsical Creekside Cabin

Escape to our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Fall asleep to sounds of Little Mary’s Creek, enjoy your coffee on the wrap around deck, or delight in exploring your own 7 acres in the forest. Our cabin is a cheerful, clean cottage to come home to- or decide to spend your days on property splashing in the creek and sitting out by the fire pit.

The space
Our cozy cabin is a new build that celebrates our relationships and planting roots in Virginia.

It comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed on the main level and 2 single beds in the loft. We are happy to accommodate a 5th guest on a trundle bed in the loft for an additional fee. Please note that the loft is accessed by a mounted ladder with a safety railing, which may not be suitable for all guests.

The eat in kitchen is fully stocked to prepare all of your meals. We provide organic coffee and teas, sugar, creamer, olive oil, salt and pepper. The bathroom features EWG certified clean shampoo conditioner and local artisan soap.

Unplug, explore, read from a carefully curated selection of books, or play a number of favorite games. Turn on the tv upstairs or the portable DVD downstairs to enjoy a variety of movies.

Our cabin is on the side of the mountain with some steep terrain and lots of natural elements outside to discover. The creek is a fun place to splash and explore.

Cell phone service is very limited.

There is no Internet at this time.

Note that in all of the beauty and serenity of nature, there can be dangers. Please be aware of your surroundings- and remember that we share this amazing property with insects, plants, and animals that are native to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The property, host, and hour were flawless! Clean, great kitchen amenities and coffee/tea, and so much to do in and outside the house. The creek, little playhouse, and inside toys made it easy with our toddler. We will be back for sure.

We stayed for 3 days with our 3 grandchildren. They had a blast playing in the creek and climbing the rocks. They loved that loft! Such an amazing yard. Listening to litte Mary's creek watching the leaves fall was so peaceful.

Our family greatly appreciated our stay at this comfortable and welcoming cabin! Its location was conveniently located between two colleges that our family was visiting and gave us a chance to explore a small part of the Blue Ridge Parkway with its beautiful fall scenery. The cabin was equipped with everything that we needed for a night away. The host was very prompt and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Alicia’s cabin was the most magical and perfect getaway. Everything was as advertised and was very clean and stocked with everything you could need. I’m glad Alicia listed instructions on how to get to the property because it is easy to miss on the drive in. She was very responsive and helpful with all of the local recommendations. The creekside cabin is the perfect place to unwind & relax.

The cabin was absolutely perfect! Just the right size, beautifully and comfortably appointed, and perfectly clean. I appreciated the fact that the kitchen included everything we needed since we did some cooking while we were there. In addition, the cabin was situated in the perfect place: shaded by the trees, next to the creek, and just far enough away from civilization that we felt like we were away from the hustle and bustle of life. We will definitely be back!
