The cabin was very comfortable on the inside. It was isolated and private.
Quaint, cozy cabin in the woods on a creek. Loved stargazing at night. Great location in Smith Mountain Lake area. Dogs loved running around outside, plenty of open space.
Great get away off the beaten path. Communications were great. Loved me and my sketch pad down by the stream.... George
Really cute cabin that is private. It was a nice get away and about 30min drive from Smith mountain lake park! You can see that they are updating things in the cabin like the bathroom. The owners Michelle and Lonnie McDonald, are really nice and very responsive! With every question we had, we heard something back within minutes. Also the path for the river was closed and we messaged to find out another access point, She got in contact with one of her neighbors (which was really nice and friendly) an let us use his property to go fishing on the river! 10 out of 10 would recommend And would definitely come back for another weekend get away that's peaceful, clean, friendly neighbors, and respectable owners!!
My husband and I celebrated our first year anniversary together with our pup. Fantastic place, super close to SML (30 minute drive, 15-20 miles away)! Perfect basic amenities and very comfy! Only qualms would be that the check out times were different from my reservation email (11am) from the homeowners binder (10am) which got us a little razzled on check out morning, and the address was off by a number, but with common sense and luckily daylight, we assumed correctly. Thank y’all for sharing your place with us!
The overall experience of our cabin getaway was very pleasant. I felt that everything we needed to just relax and enjoy nature, was available. Having a campfire at night and looking up at the stars was beautiful. We will gladly come back in the future to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We absolutely loved this property. Not quite rustic but country and private enough you can get a bit of that camp feel but with all the amenities of home, even wifi for the city folk who can't quite break away or if you just need it for cell service.. Close enough to town (Gretna) for groceries, shopping or a bite to eat if you don't want to peruse the cabin's kitchen.. Can't wait to get a longer stay in so we can explore the creek and have a campfire or 2.. Michelle and Lonnie answered messages quickly and we had no real concerns. 10/10 recommend 3
Could not have been more pleased. Michelle, the host, was fantastic and ensured our stay was exceptional. This is the perfect little hideaway for some rest and relaxation in the beautiful Virginia mountains. Thank you Michelle! Will definitely be back! John and Beth
I loved it! As described and host was awesome!
This cabin fit our needs perfectly! The property description, check-in/check-out instructions, and list of amenities were all very detailed and easy to follow. The house is located in between two large hills, making it a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Everything is clean and comfortable. We'll definitely stay again!
Amazing place and location for almost off the grid retreat. Wish we planned to stay longer.
Highly recommend.
