Cabin at the Cove felt like a home away from home for making memories with my fam. Activities there and nearby included playing indoor games, fishing, kayaking (which we did carry down and up the 90 steps successfully at beginning and end of stay), rail trail adventures, bird and other wildlife sitings, reading, and more. Easy procedure for arrival and departure. House was clean and everything worked as expected. Appreciate opportunity to speak with homeowner too early on in the reservation process.

Great 3-Day Getaway with Old Friends

Just like the name implies - a fantastic cabin on the cove overlooking the lake. Beautiful property inside and out. We were in town for the Metallica concert at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg. It allowed us the space and the place for some 50 year old college friends to reconnect after many years.Super communication with the owner. Looking at renting again with our families in the future.

Nice place

The property is nice and is in a great location on a cove of the lake. We were there for a Virginia Tech football game so we didn’t get to take advantage of all the cabin had to offer. It was clean and communication was easy. It is remote, but also not far from the interstate, so it was convenient to get to the grocery store, etc.

Great weekend away!

I booked the cabin for a surprise weekend away for my husband's birthday. It was an amazing experience and just what we needed. The cabin was quiet, clean and well-appointed with everything we needed to relax and unwind. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the opportunity to spend time outside just taking them and the quiet sounds of nature all weekend long. The cabin is also located a short drive from VT, where we were able to attend the spring game without any issues getting there or back. Finally, we also took the owners advice and had brunch at the Draper Mercantile, which was delicious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin. We definitely want to come back!

Great for weekend family getaway

Our family had a wonderful weekend stay at this cabin in July. This property has lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains from a quiet cove. It has a long staircase down to its own private dock in the cove, which was something our sons enjoyed for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat from the nearby Mountain Island marina one day and we were able to pull up to the dock. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished with a variety of games, movies, and books, which our family enjoyed. The property owner, Trina, was friendly and responsive, and she made the check in and check out process easy for us. Overall our family drew closer to each other during our weekend stay at this cabin.

Great Fall Break location

My husband and I met a daughter who lives in DC and another daughter and two grandchildren from Kentucky for several days at the cabin. We hiked at the closeby rails to trails hiking trail, hiked and the kids even got in the water at the state park and we got kayaks delivered to cabin's dock for a day of kayaking. We used the grill for dinner and the kids played corn hole on the porch and we played games and worked puzzles at night. We watched some football too. It was perfect and we'd love to come back.

Cozy Cabin Getaway

We really enjoyed our trip to Cabin at the Cove - what a beautiful, serene setting! You can just tell the multitude of incredible memories that have been made here from the moment you step inside (my husband and I played a game of Chess against one another for the first time ever!). Great space, well stocked, and Trina is SO responsive - couldn't have asked for better communication. We were on a trip to attend the absolutely baltic Virginia Tech Football Game (Go Hokies!) Thanksgiving weekend and were so lucky to enjoy downtime in this warm, inviting cabin. Bonus you ask!? - The views! Would love to come back again in the future!

A nice stay at the lake

Five ~30 guys on a bachelor trip rented this property. We had a great time relaxing on the lake. The house was great, quiet, plenty big, and easy to find. We did utilize the dock on the second day which was great. No complaints, but do bring some coffee (they have the maker and filter) and shower products. The owners provided exceptional communication and were helpful. Would rent this again! Do note that there is one master bedroom and the rest of the "sleeping spots" are in the loft together. There are also couches on the main floor and basement for some separation. Overall had a great time and would *highly* recommend renting this spot!

Great long weekend

Spent three nights with my 2 sons and their sons age 10. Great property and location. Boys loved the fishing from the deck and swimming and fishing at the state park. Very comfort accommodations for the 5 of us for a boys weekend! Played games and no one missed the internet! A good unplugged weekend. Gorgeous views from the deck!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabin at the Cove. The cabin was so spacious and comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need. We all felt very much at home.
