Louisa, Virginia
Surrounded by nature and gorgeous views! The Log Cabin sits Lakefront on an 8 acre private LAKE w/ ISLAND on 142 Wooded Acres with 5+ miles of hiking/biking trails. Our small farm has Goats, Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits and sheep for you to visit and feed! Only us (next door) and our Tugboat and Airstream listings (opposite side of Lake) have access to the lake and property. The cabin has been newly remodeled with a rustic, shabby chic appeal. Many hand made items using salvaged materiel including the barn table, bathroom vanity, and beautiful chandelier created with a salvaged metal roof of an old fallen home on the property.
The space
*Please Read Entire Listing*
The small private Lake is breathtaking, great for swimming, fishing, and boating. Enjoy a fire pit on the Mossy Island, accessible by bridge or boat. Explore miles of wooded trails and several natural streams with sandy beaches. 1/2 mile paved driveway boarders horse and cattle farm and is great for bikes, skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, etc.
The Covered boat dock is all yours along with use of the kayak, stand up paddle board, rowboat, and paddleboat for adventures on the Lake! To the right of the boat house is a nice beach area where kids can play and gradually get their toes wet! Your personal fire pit with comfy Adirondack chairs sits between the cabins deck and the boat dock. Being so secluded has its benefits with no light pollution for a memorable stargazing experience.
Fishing on the stocked Lake is like nowhere else! 7lb+ Bass are not uncommon and Crappie are easy catching for the kiddos, you will be telling fish tales for years! We would like everyone to catch and release, but if you would like to enjoy a few for dinner please let us know!
Wifi is available and usually fast enough to stream Netflix on the Family Room TV using the Roku. Although our internet is quite good for the Country, we cannot guarantee consistent access or speeds. We also provide a DVD/BluRay player and try to keep movies available for your use.
The main level bedroom has a memory foam/gel top queen bed with views of the forest. The Loft bedroom, which is open to the living area, has a luxurious king plush mattress, 2 hammock chairs, and the best views of the lake! PLEASE NOTE, the loft is only accessible by library ladder, there is a gate that can be installed at the top. If it’s a full house there is
a queen pull out memory foam mattress in the family room with a flat screen TV and 2 reclining chairs. The cabin is fully outfitted with linens and towels for showers, please bring your own Lake/beach towels.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed should you choose to cook at home or, take a short 10-minute drive to town with many excellent restaurants. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, common spices, olive oil, cooking spray, and condiments (ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise) that you might need. There is plenty of room for a feast at the farm style dining table, which seats 6 comfortably.
The cabin has a trex deck facing the lake, a fantastic place to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. There is a new gate that can close off the deck for pets and children. There is plenty of seating on the deck with a table for dining and a Gas Grill. You may even treat yourself to a seasonal outdoor shower, serenaded by sweet songbirds. Speaking of birds it is a birdwatchers paradise! Please turn off outdoor flood lights unless using them, as to not attract large amounts of bugs into the cabin.Thanks:)

We decided to look for a place after dropping off our son at NC State. What a wonderful couple of days!! Our teenage boys (aged 14 and 17) loved taking out the row boat and paddle board to fish. They caught something every time they put in their poles. Water was warm and cabin was cozy. Boys will definitely want to return!!
The cabin was clean, and decorated with just the right flare. The view of the lake and the backyard lights made for amazing evenings by the fire. The trails and lake toys were a perfect addition. The hosts were eager to be of assistance but never intrusive. We loved the cabin and the family. Definitely a great place to unwind.
The hosts were amazing, they made sure our stay was perfect. The animals on the property were great for our toddler to interact with and the lake/trails were really peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful trip. Cabin was so perfectly decorated and clean. The owner thought of everything including food to feed the ducks. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking meals. Walking trails were fantastic! Highly recommend.
The property owners are great! We had great communication, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, and the rental was everything as advertised and more!
It was a nice stay. The cabin was small and cozy. The kids loved visiting all of the animals and walking the trails on the property.
This is a wonderful rental that’s a short drive off the highway but feels miles away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin is lovely - just the right amount of space for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The kids loved the loft with swings and a gorgeous lake view. No need to plan other activities as there is so much to explore here - the island, the trails, the lake, the animals, and most of all the family that owns this property! They are delightful hosts - happy to answer questions and share their eggs that were laid the same day, a real treat! We enjoyed the serenity of the farm while walking the trails letting our dogs & kids run and explore to their hearts content. Their friends from a neighboring farm brought lovely horses over and took us on a trail ride - I highly recommend booking this experience! Local restaurants in Gordonsville are a quick drive. We tried Champion Ice House - highly recommend for their fried chicken!
Our stay was amazing from start to finish! Ashleigh let us check in early which was so nice. We arrived and met sweet Mabel. She was the sweetest pup and loved to walk around with us. She even went on a run with my husband. The cabin is so nice and cozy. I only wish it had curtains that weren't see through. I know there is no one around but just for peace of mind! The cabin was perfect on the water. We were able to use the row boat to catch some small bass and huge bluegill!! We were so happy with the chance to stay here! And we will come back (:
We absolutely loved our accommodations. The property is so beautiful! mike and Ashleigh are very gracious. I can not wait to return.
We had a wonderful experience! Everything was well thought out and purposeful!
The cabin was clean, charming, and had everything you could want or need. The animals were all very cute--we especially loved feeding the ducks! There are many trails to walk and the scenery is beautiful. The dock area has lots to do--row boat, pedal boat, kayaks etc. Ashleigh was a great host and highly communicative. She responded to every text right away and made us feel comfortable upon our arrival. A great spot to have some fun with family!
The reason we decided to stay at this property is to interact with the farm animals. We never met the animals or the owners. Later we found the owners were not on site. Their dogs continued to come on the property of the rental to BARK at us whenever we were outside as if we were intruders. Needless to say this was annoying and not even relaxing. The home is an open floor layout and not much privacy. The rental faces the owners home like a rock distance throw. I had to vacuum and sweep all of the leftover dog hair before sitting on the couch. The lake was dirty and couldn’t imagine swimming in this water. No communication from the host. We DID NOT receive hospitality that I read in other reviews. There was No WIFi service.
Such a lovely experience. The cabin was as advertised. Full of charm and fully stocked. The hiking trails and lake toys accessible. Lots of land to roam around on and room to let everyone explore. We had a wonderful time - highly recommend!
