Don't let the name fool you!! This beautifully remodeled ranch cabin in the woods is the perfect escape for you, your family and even your horses or mules (go long ears). The cabin boasts high end finishes throughout with custom woodwork in the kitchen and dining areas. This large yet cozy home is within walking distance to the Dismal Falls, Appalachian Trail, Flat Top horse trails and all that surrounds, in the Jefferson National Forest. This is the best of both worlds! Finally, you don't have to choose between a great place to trail ride, hike, mountain bike, cycle or adventure ride and a nice place to stay! This lovely three bedroom one bath cabin has every comfort of home. It accommodates it's guests with 1 king, 1 queen, and a bunk bed for the kids! There is also a pull-out sofa bed in the living room if required. The kitchen is fully equipped and linens are provided. The cabin also has a cedar, screened front porch with room enough for everyone to relax and listen to the creek flow by. The cabin, however, is merely a place to rest, it's the outside that has it all to offer. Whether you ride a horse, mountain bike or just like to get out on your own two feet and hike it's all just out the front door, literally. The Appalachian Trail runs parallel to the cabin and is accessible in several areas. The Flat Top Horse Trail System is a combination of forest roads and woodland trails that make up miles and miles of trail riding fun! Unlike the horse camp located a mile or two up the road, this cabin does accept reservations and is not affected by a government shutdown! If you love the trail but also like getting clean and putting your feet up in real comfort and style this is the perfect place for you! The property consists of approximately 2.5 acres and adjoins the Jefferson National Forest in the rear and Dismal Creek (a Virginia fisheries stocked trout stream) runs through the front yard. We offer approximately an acre of cross fenced corral for your horses or long ear friends. We also welcome hunters and fisherman seasonally for world class deer, turkey and bear hunting and trout and bass fishing. Motorcyclists on or on/off road find Bland County a beautiful and exciting place to ride.
Come stay with us and explore!

    The cottage was quiet, clean, functional, and furnished. The owner was easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed the screen porch. We had a very peaceful pleasant stay.

    If you are looking for a remote location with lots of peace and quiet, this is the place. It is only 30 minutes to get back to shopping or sites that put you back into civilization. Beautiful mountain scenery and a beautiful location at Dismall Falls. Great hosts and we enjoyed our stay in July 2022!

    If you are looking to unplug from technology and really experience the beauty that surrounds you........COME HERE! This was exactly what we needed and the National Forest (Dismal Falls) was breathtaking. Hugh Thank You to our Host. MATT.....you were nothing short of amazing. The campsite at the river was way more than we expected and a much needed romantic spot for our anniversary. We will be back.

    We enjoyed our stay! Main takeaways: - Secluded location - Enough car parking for 4-5 compact cars - Close walking distance to Dismal Falls - Great host customer service (very friendly, great communication, gave us fresh farm eggs, always asked us if we needed anything, allowed us to extend our check out time for a few more hours) - Fire pit, charcoal grill and outdoor picnic table seating (host provides wood, lighter fluid) - Enclosed porch, with outdoor seating and picnic table - Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, grilling utensils, silverware, knives, etc. - Close distance to some local grocery stores and a gas station - Walls are very thin unfortunately (3 bedrooms are all next to each other and everyone can hear each other in the rooms even with white noise machines on) - There were 5 of us, all with Verizon, and barely any signal (land line available for use in the house which helped) - Wifi was limited to only 10gb - only good for emails and searching - really did not like this since I had to unexpectedly login for work (couldn’t use to check emails since it wasn’t a secure wifi line for my work laptop) Overall, great experience and great customer service. Felt safe and clean throughout the trip. Thanks again Matt!

    This property is a short 2 minute drive to dismal falls. The inside is gorgeous with antiques in certain areas. Huge open concept for kitchen to eating areas. Two bar top areas. The owner was fantastic & super nice. You should rent this place.

    My husband and our two children ages 13 and 15 really enjoyed our stay in this 3 bedroom cottage in Bland, VA. The property had everything we were looking for and the owner, Matt, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He even brought us fresh asparagus from his garden and supplied dry firewood after the original wood he left for us got soaked by rain. The entire place was spotless and the beds were super comfortable. We cooked one meal in the well stocked kitchen and grilled out on the large charcoal grill for the rest of our evening meals. The weather wasn't great and we didn't have much luck catching fish on the part of the stream where the house sits. However, the short walk to the falls was well worth it. Just a short drive away there is another fishing spot where we caught a good sized brook trout and hopped on the AT for a strenuous afternoon hike. All in all, this was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it for outdoor enthusiasts!

    We rented this peaceful cabin at Dismal Falls. The setting was perfect for our intended purpose which was time away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia to reconnect with nature and each other. We could not have asked for a better experience.

    We had a great time staying at this property for Thanksgiving. Well kept, clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of room inside. Location was great- plenty of outdoor things to do. Matt reached out to us just to let us know we could give a yell if we needed anything. We didn't- all was good. My only issue was with the Vrbo website. For some reason it wouldn't let me answer Matt.
