About this property
My Dad's Log Cabin
Welcome to Our Family Cabin—Where Stories Live and New Memories Begin This isn’t just a log cabin—it’s a legacy.
My father built this home after serving in the Vietnam War and retiring from a career with the Secret Service. He came back to his roots with a simple vision: peace, space, and a place where family could gather, laugh, and just be. After his passing, I couldn’t think of a better way to honor him than to share this special place with others. So here you are—welcome to the family.
Set on 2 acres of open land and surrounded by 5 acres of quiet forest, this cabin is equal parts retreat and playground. We’ve added a few modern touches, but kept his spirit alive—warm, welcoming, and always ready for a good time. Think of it less like a rental and more like borrowing a well-loved home (with a few snacks probably still in the pantry). Whether you’re here to unplug, reconnect, or just escape your group chat for a weekend, this space is made for it.
Within Radford and about a 45-mile radius, you’ve got options: Outdoor Adventures • Hike and explore the scenic trails at Claytor Lake State Park • Kayak, boat, or fish on New River (one of the oldest rivers in the world—yes, older than your favorite family stories) • Visit Cascades Falls for a waterfall hike that’s worth every step • Take in mountain views along the Blue Ridge Parkway Local Flavor & Fun • Explore downtown Radford for casual dining and small-town charm • Catch a game or stroll campus at Radford University • Take a short drive to Blacksburg—home of Virginia Tech—for great food, shopping, and game-day energy Wineries, Breweries & Easy Evenings • Sip local wines at Beliveau Farm Winery • Enjoy craft brews at Long Way Brewing • Or skip all that and come back to the cabin for a fire pit night, stargazing, and a little friendly competition (cards, cornhole, or storytelling highly encouraged)
The Cabin Vibe This is a place for: • Morning coffee on the porch • Loud laughs around the table • Quiet walks through the trees • Late-night talks you didn’t plan but needed
It’s not perfect—and that’s kind of the point. It’s real, it’s warm, and it’s ready for you. Come enjoy the cabin, make yourself at home, and if you leave with a few good memories (and maybe a new family tradition), then we’ve done this place right
