The Sounds of Nature! Wildlife and Mtn. views are all you will see and hear

Come relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with your loved one at this unique mountain cabin. The sounds of birds in the air, wind through the trees, and fresh mountain air is sure to relax you. Whether you are inside the cabin or out you will feel in touch with nature through an expansive outdoor view through the windows. Come discover what makes this cabin so unique. This is a modern rustic mountain cabin with many unique qualities sure to please, including: a river rock shower big enough for two with two shower heads and body sprays, comfortable handcrafted king size bed, copper sinks, black walnut wood countertops throughout, many handcrafted pieces of furniture, stainless steel appliances, timber frame beam ceiling, large front porch, gas fireplace, bark siding on the exterior, live moss roof, and copper rain chains. All this is dwarfed compared to the location. Situated on 65 acres, overlooking thousands of acres of untouched mountain views, not one other house or streetlight can be seen, gaze at the star filled night sky, listen to the river rush in the distance, or the creek beside the cabin trickle down the mountain, your worldly worries are sure to melt away.
Take a walk down the 2.5 mile fly fishing trail that parallels the river adjoining the property, a blue ribbon trout fishing stream, hike the Appalachian Trail that’s within walking distance of the cabin, take a short drive and hike to several nearby waterfalls, explore Grayson Highlands State Park and Mount Rogers, the highest peak in Virginia about 30 minutes away, go paddle boating on Hungry Mother Lake only 25 minutes away, kayak or canoe the New River 30 minutes away, bike the Virginia Creeper Trail 25 minutes away, shop and eat in downtown Marion with several unique restaurants, antique shops, and distillery only 15 minutes away, catch a show at the Lincoln Theatre downtown or visit the soon to open Wayne Henderson School of art and music, shop the Saturday morning farmers market downtown, attend one of the several festivals throughout the year in the area. The cabin is centrally located to many outdoor activities and local attractions.

Arrive during the day, have the perfect stay!
Absolutely thrilled with the stay and experience! Very much suggest arriving during daylight, as the trek up the driveway and remoteness of the location can be a bit overwhelming in complete darkness. Once we got our barrings in the light the next morning it was impeccable. Another thing i did not see noted in comments that was absolutely not an issue but would have liked to be aware of, the horizontal view from the cabin is slightly more obstructed than the pictures show (assume this may be more a summer obstruction than winter), but it is absolutely not a detriment and the night sky is still quite breathtaking. To be honest, though, this is truly nitpicking and could not have asked for a better trip. Absolutely plan to return in the future!

Paradise in the woods
This property was everything it advertised to be. No civilization in sight. Beautiful rustic cabin with views galore. Only living things we saw were squirrels and daily visits from a family of deer. We’re already planning when we can go back! A perfect couples’ getaway.

Awesome retreat
Spent several nights at home for our anniversary. House was nestled in woods, away from it all and remote, which was just what we needed. Well maintained, clean, and quiet. Hot tub was a great touch and added to the Overall experience. We traveled to town for foods as needed. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a couples vacation.

Spectacular anniversary getaway
We loved every minute at this very special cabin. It was extremely clean, kitchen had everything you could need, and being secluded in comfort was exactly what we desired. A couple of notes for you...get whatever groceries you're going to want before leaving home as the cabin is probably 20-30 minutes back to a grocery store. Our Verizon phones had no cell service, but wifi at cabin was great. We will 100% be back. It's our new favorite place.

Amazing Stay
The pictures do not do this property justice. Book this place now, you won’t regret it! There is not much in this area to go and do but we just wanted 2 days away from EVERYTHING so it was perfect! Would also suggest 4 wheel drive to get to the location. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely be returning.

Amazing views, privacy, and contemporary cabin in the woods!
My wife and I were looking for a place to spend our anniversary weekend and this was perfect. We wanted a place to get away, relax, and celebrate. This location and home are remote (15 min to town) and peaceful (no neighbors). The open floorplan was all we needed to have a relaxing place for good meals, conversation, and relaxing. There is wifi if you need it, but sitting on the front covered porch and enjoying nature and the views is all you will need....the covered hot tub was an excellent bonus! Host was very responsive, the house and grounds were in excellent shape, kitchen was well stocked, and the shower was amazing (not sure how they set some of those large stones into the wall?!). We will defiantly be coming back!

Fantastic Property
My wife and I booked this cabin for our 40th anniversary. I’ve gotta say the pictures online are awesome, but seeing it in person was way better. The cabin, the location, and the property itself beat all expectations. We only left the property once, for some ice. We spent all of our time here relaxing outside and soaking in the hot tub talking and enjoying each other’s company. This place ranks as one of our all time favorites.

A Return to Nature
This was our third time staying here. We loved it the first two times and loved it even more the third time. Quiet, secluded, and nature abounds. We did more traveling around the area, ending up in Draper, Virginia one day and Bristol, Tennessee the next day. Great adventure and the best relaxing time with each other.

Wooded seclusion at it's finest!
What an amazing cabin! If you are looking for solitude, this is it! This was a much needed retreat from the constant noise and light pollution of living near Chicago. So very peaceful and relaxing! The pictures truly don't do this place justice. So many wonderful details....and that shower! Hubs and I Loved it!!! If it weren't for the scheduled lawn maintenence, we would not have seen or heard another person during our two night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer! We would definitely stay here again! Absolutely fabulous place!

Secluded Paradise
Cabin was clean and peaceful, although the drive up to the cabin was pretty steep and narrow (this is coming from someone who lives in a flat area!) The hot tub area was perfect with a huge hot tub & relaxing day bed. The shower was also great with good water pressure. I wasn't a big fan of the bed ...it was low & a little too soft for my back, but it definitely wasn't uncomfortable, just different from my firmer mattress. My husband and I really enjoyed the Angler Trail near the cabin that runs along the creek. Nature all around and very romantic atmosphere. Nearest town is about 10 minutes away and has all you need with several great restaurants. Several good state parks within 30-45 minutes, and the Virginia Creeper Trail bike ride was super fun!! Strongly recommended staying here and enjoying all the cabin & the area have to offer :)

We had an amazing time and cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. It’s only a 20 minute drive to Marion and there’s lots of great places there to eat. We loved the Sisters Cafe and the Wooden Pickle. Hot tub was amazing and it was so peaceful there. Have already recommended to several friends.
