Private Lakefront Log Cabin

Cornerstone Cabin is an extraordinary cabin. We used three 100 year old square log cabins to build it. The old cabins were tagged, disassembled, moved to the lake, and reassembled into one house under current building codes, with all the modern comforts of home. The lake house sits on 11 secluded, forested acres with no other houses in sight. It has magnificent craftmanship, and all the wood was either from old dwellings or custom-milled for the house.

Cornerstone Cabin has a tin roof, making the rain's pitter-patter so soothing. Another unique feature is that it has a full 2nd story. Most cabins constructed with old square logs are 1.5 stories with a loft or knee walls upstairs. Cornerstone has lots of windows & 7 ceiling fans throughout the house so you can throw open the windows & enjoy the fresh air & wildlife sounds. For your sleeping comfort, there are hand-made wooden shutters throughout the house to darken the rooms.

Cornerstone's upstairs has 3 spacious sleeping quarters; the sleeping quarters are sequential, i.e. they open one to the other, no hallway. The first is a loft with queen bed and cathedral ceiling with exposed rafters. The middle bedroom has 2 twin beds; the upstairs bath is accessed through the middle bedroom, and it has a full tub with shower. The third bedroom has queen bed and cathedral ceiling. All three offer beautiful windows facing the lake.

Starting from the ground up, there is stacked-stone foundation, chimney, & fireplace; then 3' X 9' floor joists for the 1st floor (exceeds any building codes, so the house is solid as a rock). The downstairs has custom-milled beams & includes bedroom (king), bathroom with shower, stack washer/dryer, fully-equipped kitchen, indoor seating for 10 with dining room table (6) & game table(4), hi-speed internet, & family room with satellite color TV, oversized fireplace, & sturdy antique staircase built in 1820. Opening from both family room and downstairs bedroom is a 10' x 20' aromatic cedar screened porch with ceiling fans and dining table for 6. This is our favorite spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and dining.
Cornerstone Cabin is in a forested, slow-moving world of quiet solitude, wildlife, & no other houses, and yet, incredibly, you are only 10-to-15 minutes away from 3 grocery chains, good restaurants, & fun entertainment.

A few restaurants: 15 minutes to 2 established, locally owned & operated steak houses, Clarksville Station Steak House & Old Country Club Steak House; Italian: 15 minutes to Vesuvios Italian near Walmart or Vesuvios ll Food & Sports Bar downtown; need it quickly: 5 minutes to Mayo Marina (Country) Grill & Store for breakfast, burgers; great, hot or cold subs: 15 minutes to American Hero for philly cheese steak or gyro.

Some entertainment: Out your front door down a gentle slope to swim, sun, watch the sunset, & fish for bass & crappie off your dock in clean, clear, pristine Mayo Lake; bring your fishing/ski boat & moor it safely to our PBD (pontoon boat dock); ski, wakeboard, & tube in one of the most uncrowded lakes you've ever been to; or, rent a canoe or kayak from Mayo Park; 5 minutes to Mayo Park (walking trails; bands, movies, & plays at the Amphitheatre; free boat launch; playground); 15 minutes to Palace Pointe (all under one roof) Family Entertainment (20 bowling lanes, 7 billiards tables, video arcade, rollerskating, 8 movie theatres, & food diner); 30 minutes to South Boston Motor Speedway or to Virginia International Raceway (VIR = Lemans-type pro & amateur sports car & motorcycle road race course). For driving times to many other awesome activities, please see the 'Other Activities' Section under the 'Features & Amenties' Heading below.

Please feel free to contact us about any rental question or particular activities you're interested in. We'll do our best. 'We aim to please'!!

A beautiful place on the lake
What a beautiful log cabin! The lake views are amazing. The home was well stocked and communication with the owner was a breeze. My dog enjoyed walks along the lake shore and property. Very relaxing and would stay here again.

Fantastic property on the lake
The cabin is immaculate and located right on the lake for a relaxing stay. The cabin has both the charm of a cabin with modern amenities and has plenty of space for relaxation and gathering. Will definitely stay here again.

Quiet and cozy
We really loved the secluded feeling this home gave us all (even if my kids said we were definitely gonna get murdered lol) We all had enough space to be comfortable, but together. The variety of games was great and the fishing! Absolutely would stay there again!

Fabulous Holiday stay
This place is absolutely wonderful. The house has everything you need and more. Spent a lot of time on screened in porch especially when the afternoon storms rolled in. Peaceful section of the lake. Plenty of space and the beds slept great. This is truly a log cabin built with love. Rooms were spacious. I cannot say enough about this place. Very private location but close to civilization for unexpected supplies and the owners were so accommodating. We are looking at dates for our next visit! This place is truly a keeper for us. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!!

Perfect for a family escape!
What a charming, beautiful property! The dogs and kids had an absolute blast playing in the lake all day and the house was very well appointed. We had a mix up with the dates (totally my fault) and the hosts we're so apologetic and did their best to make things right for us. We'll definitely be back!

Property was beautiful. Rustic and heavily wooded.
We're a party of 9 and had plenty of room. Cabin was clean and wonderful. Kids and adults loved the lake, even the teenagers had a good time. If you are on the fence about renting this cabin, don't be. Well worth it, and there is even a corner store 5 minutes away for milk, beer ,groceries or whatever.

Can't Wait to Return!
Our family of 2 adults, 2 teens, and tween had a fantastic stay at the cabin. We especially enjoyed how remote it was (far away from COVID drama) and incredibly quiet. Having our own dock and safe place to swim was also great. We passed the time reading books, fishing, splashing in the water and sleeping late in the extra comfortable beds. The biggest surprise was that there were few or no mosquitos. We look forward to returning soon!

Amazing even better the second time around.
This is the second time staying at this property. Kathy & Arch are extremely easy to work with and helpful. Great house on the water. Fishing from the dock. What more can you say when you have somewhere like this to call home after a hard day's work.

Another Perfect Stay
This is our 2nd year at this beautiful property and once again we had a fabulous time. The property is very secluded and private, perfect for a getaway with family. We spent most of the time relaxing on the screened porch overlooking the lake while watching the kids fish off the floating dock, wading in the water, and running around the massive back yard. The owners are absolutely fantastic. They are very accommodating and always quick to communicate! The internet connection was great and allowed us to stay in touch with work and family back home which was great considering the cell coverage in the area. Beautiful home with a great rustic history!

Upstairs
The first bedroom at the top of the stairs is really just a loft, and access to the 3 bedrooms upstairs is sequential - i.e., you have to walk through the first to get to the second and through both of them to get to the 3rd. The one bathroom upstairs is only accessible via the middle bedroom.

Could not love this place more than we do
We have stayed at this property several times, starting in 2014. The only problem is, after the first time, it became so popular we had trouble finding available space on the calendar! Absolute heaven for us, and for our Newfoundland dogs, who love to swim and go for walks on the trails. This year, we had our daughter's wedding at Mayo Park (just across the water, about 3 miles by car) and the staff over there couldn't have been nicer. Kathy and Arch are wonderful.

Wonderful Getaway!
We spent 3 nights in this wonderful house by the lake. The screened porch was the perfect place to drink coffee every morning. We spent the afternoon reading and napping on the lounge chairs next to the lake. The water is clear enough to watch the fish. An otter was busy swimming back an forth in front of the dock. The kitchen is very well stocked. The owners were very helpful. It as a heavenly couple of days.

Water Sports Paradise
The best family vacation ever! My family includes water skiers who loved this tranquil lake for skiing,. The children also enjoyed tubing, disc golf in the nearby park, and playing in the spacious yard. A favorite activity for our children (ages 9-14) was playing hide and seek at twilight and running through the trees, Adults enjoyed relaxing on the porch, appreciating the tranquility of the setting and the beautiful lake view. The cabin itself is charming and comfortable with everything needed for our stay. Thank you Arch and Kathy for such a great family vacation spot. We plan to come again.
