This property was wonderful and was more than what was in its descriptions. It has beautiful views and though out of town and remote very easy to get to the hiking areas nearby including Grayson and Mount Rogers. The owners were awesome and responded to every inquiry very promptly and thoroughly. Couldn't recommend this place any higher

Great stay

Selected this VRBO due to its proximity to the Appalachian Trail and extending a couple additional nights because we were enjoying it so much. The hosts were fantastic and readily available for anything we needed. The home was cozy and comfortable and the hosts had it stocked with everything we could need. The scenery around the home was picturesque. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at.

Amazingly relaxing and peaceful cabin

My partner and I couldn't think more highly of this property. The cabin is very comfortable, clean, and well-kept. It was such a nice convenience to have a washer/drier on hand after hiking the AT for a day. The communication with the owner was clear and the check-in process was smooth. There is ample signage to help guests find the cabin on the scenic drive into the property.The views are beautiful, overlooking a field with mountains in the distance. We especially enjoyed seeing the cows and donkeys, and loved feeding the donkeys a few carrots.The property is so peaceful, and it was really the perfect spot to come and relax for a week. We would absolutely like to stay here again the next time we're in the area!

I am retired from the medical field, my husband and I moved here from Texas. We love the simple life, taking care of our farm and animals. We also love having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Located in foothills of the Appalachian mountains, this area is very beautiful and the seasons are very distinct. Our place is very rural, quiet and peaceful while still having the convenience of town only 10 miles away. You will not hear any highway noise, only the sound of the local wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Johnson’s Cabin at Winters Haven is nestled on almost 18 acres of partially wooded land in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. There are walking paths through the wooded areas, one path leads to a pond where you may find wild ducks in the spring time. While the property is secluded it is only about 10 miles from the quaint town of Chilhowie where you can find a couple of eateries, antique shops and a grocery store. There are several trailheads just a few miles away for hikers. The towns of Abingdon and Damascus are fun to explore and are only 20 and 30 miles away.
