Secluded Mountain Cabin on a Large Estate with Water Fall, Hiking Trails & Creek

*************** TWO Rental Choices ***************
1. The rate quote for four or fewer guests is for the upstairs only (2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining, living, and laundry rooms).
2. Five or more guests, and you'll get the upstairs + downstairs (3-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms, kitchen, dining, living, and laundry rooms)

If your guest count is less than five and needs all 3-bedrooms, please select 5-guest count to get the correct rate quote. (Please note: Our rates are based on the total number of guests. Children of all ages are considered guests)

For the privacy of our guests, WE DO NOT RENT DOWNSTAIRS (3rd bedroom) SEPARATELY. As long as you rent the Cabin, you will be the only occupant of the property during your stay.

*** Our rates are based on the total guest count. Children of all ages count as guests.***

THREE FULL BATHROOMS: All bedrooms have full bathrooms.

PLEASE NOTE:
* The downstairs space (bedroom) has a separate outside entrance and no interior access—it’s set up similar to an in-law suite.

* The cabin features a private 350-foot concrete driveway with a gentle 15-degree incline and a well-designed switchback, providing smooth and easy access for most standard two-wheel-drive vehicles. This scenic approach sets the tone for the stunning views and peaceful seclusion that await, making your arrival feel like the start of a truly memorable getaway. For added convenience, a lower parking area is also available for larger vehicles.

* ABRAMS FALLS CABIN IS A REMOTELY MANAGED PROPERTY. The property owner or the manager does not live on site. No one will meet you at the Cabin upon your arrival. Your comfort, privacy, and seclusion are our priorities. We do have a local team and housekeepers that maintain the Property. You can call or email and request their services as needed. For safety and security, this property is equipped with an outdoor CCTV system.

Well kept rental property, clean and well taken care of. Having several properties on a mountain sides this guy does a great job with upkeep and maintenance. The hike to the falls is great just stay close to the river and you will find the trail. Close to downtown yet far enough away for peace and to leave work and life behind.

Low key holiday

Amazingly remote, very private location (no neighbors in sight!), but only a short drive to the shops and restaurants of Bristol. Comfortable accommodations that were perfect for a low key family getaway. My family also enjoyed hiking the trail to the falls.

Peace and Relaxation

The front porch was amazing for all six of us to sit outside and relax, loved all the rocking chairs. The sight and sound of the creek was so calming. The inside of the cabin was very clean and the bedrooms and bathrooms where a good size. Loved the complementary bottle of wine and the snack basket.

Comfortable and Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. So peaceful to sit on the spacious porch and listen to the water rushing by. A very nice and unexpected surprise to find a welcome basket with snacks and coffee...especially since I forgot to bring my coffee. I had to reach out to them while there with a question and the response was quick. You will not be disappointed renting this cabin. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Mountain top cabin

The cabin is great! Super clean and cozy. Hiking to the falls was amazing! The listing states that water is at your doorsteps but you can't even see the water from the cabin. I was a little upset about that but overall it was a great vacation and the property is beautiful!

Hidden hideaway

The cabin was just a great place to disconnect. The internet would connect but not allow access. Tried to text out and that was not possible either. Went to try the hike to the falls but it wasn’t marked and an angry sign was posted so we didn’t go. That was sad because we really wanted to do that hike. Unsure if it was straight up the hill and down a steep hill? Would have been awesome to see it

Romantic Get Away

Great location very secluded. Clean, rustic on the outside modern on the inside. Beautiful flowing stream at the end of the driveway. Consider using 4 wheel drive to access. It rained most of the week we were there and had to put the truck in 4x4 to get up the drive way. Driveway has a tight turn for large vehicles. Little to no cell coverage for Verizon and unable to stream any movies due to limited bandwidth of internet service at cabin. Internet did enable for better phone access. Bottom line, great location if you want to get away from it all.!

Great week away

This property is in a beautiful setting. I loved sitting on the porch and hearing the water. The house was clean and nice. When we stay in vacation spots like this we respect that it is other people’s house and I do realize not everyone does. I found it unwelcoming with all the signs of what not to do and signs on the locked cabinets that they are not for guests. Also the smell of moth balls is really strong. As the week went on it aired out and was fine. Chemicals that mothballs are made of are toxic to people, especially if anyone has respiratory problems. I understand that there are a lot of mothers around due to the exterior light, but there has to be a better way to decrease moth damage.

Relaxing Vacation

My family stayed at the cabin for 9 nights. We went to this cabin in the mountains for a quiet relaxing vacation. There were still things to do in the area when we wanted, but it was quiet when we wanted. Things to doing include hiking, visiting downtown business, shopping, caverns, dam, etc. The cabin was clean and neat. It seemed like it was well taken care of and we enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was the driveway, which was difficult to get up because it is steep and the gravel was not packed and you couldn't get the best running start up the driveway unless you had someone willing to close the gate (which is manual) behind you and walk up the driveway. My daughter did that most of the time. We found by putting our minivan in Drive 1(1st gear) and turning off the traction control we were able to get up a little easier, but stone still threw you around a bit and the one side has a drop.

Excellent Cabin Deep in the Woods

Everything about the cabin itself is excellent: functional and provisioned kitchen, comfortable living rooms and bedrooms, all very clean, and a fantastic front porch for listening to the running water. The welcome basket and thorough information about the cabin and the surrounding area are welcoming and very helpful. I wish all VRBO hosts were this considerate and thoughtful. Yes, the driveway is interesting, but doable. Yes, there are a lot of security cameras. The owner makes a defensible case for having them, but having three cameras in view while grilling out was still a bit weird. The location is definitely remote, and there is a bit of a hurdle to coming and going between the driveway, the gate, the gravel road, and then the 15-20 minutes to Bristol or 30 minutes to Abingdon. Our phones said SOS Only for a lot of road miles on this trip. But the location is serene and beautiful too, no doubt. The hike to the falls is no joke - one-third thin trail with sharp drop-off to one side, one-third normal ridge line walk, and last third full-on four-limbed, super steep scramble. But the payoff is absolutely phenomenal. Just be aware of what you're taking on when you set off. And pay close attention to the route down at the end so you find it ok going back up. Overall, definitely recommended, if the location details all work for you.

Secluded Comfortable Cabin

This cabin was mostly perfect. There were a few minor snags: found a pan and some utensils that were not cleaned. Abrams Falls was a disappointment. It would have been the perfect hike for all but was unreachable. We used the upper and lower floors and didn’t realize we needed to go outside to communicate between the two levels. Overall the space was good for the family, and clean. Everyone slept well on the beds and all were comfortable. We liked sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch and listening to the flowing water.
