Perfect Quiet Getaway
The property is incredible, no need to run around to go anywhere or see anything! The perfect views are from the porch! Wifi and A/C were perfect in this out of the way location. We’ll be back!

Beautiful views and comfortable stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ice House, and will certainly come back in the future! The views were gorgeous, the home was clean and comfortable, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and our children loved having a yard to play in. The host was very kind and helpful, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect getaway that's still close by
We had a great weekend. We wanted to visit natural bridge, go kayaking and do some hiking. The property was close to everything, but still private. It was just minutes to the river. The cabin was perfect, with all the amenities, while still feeling historic. The property itself is amazing with a large main house and the remains of what appears to be an old brick tobacco barn. We sat on the porch and watched the deer and the view of the stars at night was perfect. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.
