Rileyville, Virginia
Enjoy the breathtaking views, you can see for 30 miles, across the valley and to the mountains in the west. Awesome sunsets!! At night you have never seen so many stars see if you can count them all. After a day of hiking relax in the hot tub. The cabin has 2 bedrooms 2 baths with 2 queen beds and a futon sleeper. The master bedroom has an indoor jacuzzi The great room ceiling soars to 24 feet with exposed beams, a true log cabin with modern amenities On a cool evening enjoy the rock fireplace Cozy up with a blanket and your favorite book. Breath in that fresh mountain air.
This cabin was so cozy and the view was stunning! The hot tub was great too. I definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a nice little getaway with friends/family.
This was my worst experience with a vacation rental and we feel absolutely ripped off. I did try to take these complaints to Vrbo customer service, but they told me to take it up with the owner and leave a review, so here we are. Positives: beautiful view; secluded location Negatives: -No arrival instructions until last minute, had to contact vrbo repeatedly to get the address because the vrbo messaging wasn't working -Hot tub never worked, but maybe that's just as well because it was filled with bugs -Indoor jacuzzi bathtub also didn't work, so much for the backup plan -The bugs were also all over the inside of the house...ugh -No water pressure in the kitchen sink -Dishwasher full when we arrived, nothing put away -Floor was dirty, and not just with the dead bugs -Cleaners had at least been there because they left their supplies out on the stairs -We got the gas fireplace on (yay!) but then could not turn it off. The remote wouldn't do anything. Finally pried the front panel off to reveal a master switch underneath. -Before solving the problem, we got the owner's number from vrbo to call about this but no answer, no voicemail box, no call back. Again, the view was nice, but I recommend staying elsewhere and paying $15 to the NPS for the views of the valley. This experience was also a good reminder that the vrbo book with confidence guarantee doesn't actually mean much.
Overall the stay was okay, I would like to say the views were stunning! Getting into the house was simple but the drive there is a bit off the grid. When we arrived we noticed that the windows were unlocked so we believe the windows were open at some point which is why there we had to kill literally 50 stink bugs which took an hour out of our day. We were late to dinner and had to pick up pizza instead which took another hour. The main door needs to be sealed better, which brings me to the fact that we saw mice crawling next to the fireplace and then realized they made a nest on the fireplace. Im happy we only stayed here for one night and didn’t bring in food in to cook because the water pressure in the kitchen sink was horrible, there is no way anyone could wash dishes in there. I would also bring an extra few towels for the guests and extra blankets. The hot tub was lovely and like I said the views were terrific. Overall we had a great night but it was also a bit drafty in the loft area. I do appreciate the owner getting back to me promptly with any questions and I hope this feedback isn’t too harsh. We do appreciate you sharing your home with us and I know some adjustments can be made to make it a lovely stay for your future visitors.
The Log Cabin was just as described in VRBO. As I use to post my Property on Fort Myers Beach FL. on VRBO I have some suggestions for the owner. The Kitchen, your dishwasher was not set into the cabinet. There was no water pressure in the Sink and your cabinets were sticky. But it was well stocked with the essentials. Bath towels were old and worn. Your hot tub was awesome but you may want to put a new cover on it. And you might want to pull the weeds out on the deck, because I think it was poison ivy, as I got a rash on my ankle. The view and location are spectacular. Just a few adjustments and your cabin will be a 5 . Also you might want to fix or replace the couch as one of the springs is coming up.
