The property and cabin included everything that we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our stay. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, and added to our enjoyment of Ferrum College's Graduation Day! We loved seeing the dogs visit us, too! Thank you so much for sharing this home with us!
Our host were amazing and we absolutely loved the property. The decor, trails, and house were beautiful. Kinda cool to experience this piece of history and see the time and effort the host have put into this place. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Thanks for your kind words, we realize we're not everyone's idea of chic. Kerry really enjoyed your visit, hoping you can come and visit your son at the college and enjoy different seasons.
We had a great stay and loved the history of the cabin. Loved having a fire outside and watching the stars. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything you could need.
We loved staying at the cabin! Libby and Kerry were great hosts. We loved hearing about the history of the cabin and the families who lived there! Also, thank you for the cigars! It was nice sitting on the porch at night enjoying them. We'll be back!
Cabin exactly as advertised. Really neat to stay in a piece of history. If you are not looking for a rustic experience then don't stay here, but that is exactly what we wanted and it was fantastic. We loved using the indoor fireplace, and the outdoor shower! The host was very kind and informative, and we enjoyed the dogs stopping by. The property surrounding is beautiful with short walking trails. Very peaceful and secluded. All sorts of birds flitting around including an owl hooting away at night.

Thanks again for staying at the cabin, glad the owl cooperated!
Very rustic!! No tv: lots of towels and clean sheets! Power went out but hosts were so gracious and let us into their home where they had a generator so I could make breakfast! Lovely firepit and amazing stars with the lack of light pollution. Outdoor shower was such a delight. Breakfast on the back porch was wonderful.

Internet is available up the hill, if you piggyback off the owners... "unplugged and no wifi" are in the description....
Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic. OMG it was Fantasic
It was truly a fantastic Thanksgiving Vacation. Host wast nothing short of fantastic. Best VRBO stay ever! I rather leave a bad review so I can be there next Thanksgiving for years and years. Passionate owners. Lots of documented history. Lots of great advise from the owner.
Absolutely loved this rustic, historical cabin. So very peaceful. Some of the best night sleeps I've had in a long time. The Grandkids had a ball and didn't want to leave. Kerry, the owner, was more than welcoming and supplying wood for the fire ring and fire place was a nice touch. We will be back.

We're glad you were able to find the charm of quieter times our little cabin affords us too. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us.
The perfect place to unplug…. The cabin was great, the fire pits were perfect for mountain pies and s’mores….. the owners are truly very kind and responsive…. Great property, and certainly enjoyed the company of the dogs. Simply a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!!! And would certainly stay again. Thank you so much for sharing all the history!!!
This is a wonderful cabin that is almost 200 years old. There is no cell service, there is no internet. It is perfect for those of us that want to leave it all behind for a break. We enjoyed our orientation upon arrival and loved our welcoming party (owner's dogs). We cooked, we had fires in the fireplace, enjoyed the unmarred starlight sky, and slept well at night. I would definitely stay again and again and again!!
We had been on the road for13 days and we needed a break. This cabin provided a place to unwind with no distractions, just quiet and peaceful. We had everything we needed provided and with town only 5 miles away it was perfect for food and gas. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks Libby and Kerry.

Our grown children and grandchildren stayed at this charming rustic property over Thanksgiving. So much time spent laughing, cooking, and enjoying some unplugged time to together. The kids especially loved the huge yard for running and their football games. Many thanks to the owners for extending their hospitality. A one-of-a-kind experience!

Thanks for your kind words! It was really heartwarming to hear them enjoying themselves, we dont get to hear our grandchildren often enough!
This marks our third stay at Maggies Farm. Not much changes out here, just as one would hope when retreating back into time. There's an undeniable energy to this old place and the air that surrounds it, a positive one no doubt, beckoning for our return each late Spring.
Many thanks to the gracious hosts and their small battalion of pups who always make us feel like family.

John and his brothers are always the highlight of our season. We look forward to the stories they make, and they enrich and infuse our cabin with a flavor of family. They aren't just guests, their fellowship has made them family!
This rustic cabin was a great stay for us. We were able to listen to the rain hit the metal roof, start a fire inside, and enjoy each other's company without the interruptions of constant phone distractions (no cell service).
The property managers were fantastic, easily acceasible and quick to respond. They were never a bother and made sure we stayed stocked with firewood.
I'll keep this place in mind when looking to get away again. Thanks!
