Creek Front Property! Spicewood Cabin Near Wintergreen and Crabtree Falls

Spicewood cabin is located in the heart of scenic Nelson County. Our family owned property is nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains situated right on beautiful Harpers Creek! Recently renovated, this 100 year-old cabin provides all the charm you would expect yet it is paired with modern amenities that will make your stay comfortable, cozy and relaxed. Spicewood cabin is a one story home making it family friendly, and accessible to those who aren't fond of stairs! We are only 16 miles from the base of Wintergreen Ski Resort which offers skiing, snowboarding, hiking, dining, family events and more! For our hiking friends, we are only 1/2 mile to an Appalachian trail head that will put you on the path to hike the summit of either The Priest or Three Ridges. In addition, we are only 5 miles to the magnificent Crabtree Falls, one of the tallest, cascading waterfall sets this side of the Mississippi! If fishing is your thing, we are located on Harpers Creek (trout stocked) and about a 50 yard walk from the Tye River. Our secluded property invites guests to sit back and stargaze next to the firepit while enjoying a glass of wine, making s'mores or cooking out on the provided grill. Dining in or dining out? Totally up to you as we are within 15-20 minutes from the Brew Trail in Nellysford, Va. Enjoy local brews, wines, ciders and food in beautiful mountain scenery! Devil’s Backbone, Blue Toad Cider, Bold Rock Hard Cider and many more are only a short scenic drive away!

Great cabin for a get-away
Such a nice property! We especially loved the outdoor spaces - deck, fire pit area, and the bench beside the creek. Quiet and peaceful! Very close to the trailhead for the A.T., which we loved. Go north to climb Three Ridges or south to climb The Priest. The bed was super-comfy too! Great place to unwind.

Peaceful spot nestled between the mountains
Would highly recommend. The cabin is cozy on the inside with a peaceful backyard with deck and a firepit with wood pile. Very much enjoyed the location and during the daytime we explored the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway. The Appalachian Trail is a quarter of a mile away with a car park for a day hike. Thanks!

Loved our stay here!
Our family really enjoyed our stay in the cabin. We were able to explore the surrounding area to include hiking Crabtree Falls, and spending three days at Wintergreen. The cabin was very comfortable for our family, and we also really enjoyed the cabin’s outdoor amenities. The two bedrooms had super comfortable beds with probably the best mattresses I’ve ever slept on!! The wood burning stove was such a neat touch that we enjoyed.

Another beautiful fall weekend!
This is my fourth year returning the this cozy mountain retreat, and it never disappoints. The owners have made some lovely upgrades to the cabin since my last stay. My only complaint is that the stays are always too short. Can’t wait until next year!

Everything was exceptional! A beautiful combination of cabin life with modern amenities! No signal, no problem! We LOVED being so remote and “shut off” from the world to rest and recharge. Have a map handy just incase you decide to venture out…. and find a way to embrace the barkers up the street… Otherwise, it was an incredible stay with EVERYTHING we needed to feel at home! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,

Warm and Cozy Spot to Ride Out Tropical Storm
I have an unfortunate habit of booking this lovely cabin on rainy weekends every year, but my family had a very enjoyable time despite the rain and wind. As always, it was a comfortable getaway from all electronic devices. We baked, roasted hot dogs and s’mores in the wood stove (improvised!), and watched movies. The kitchen was well-appointed and the beds were comfortable. Can’t wait to stay here again and actually try out the new back deck!

Remote Relaxation
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. From the creek on the property to the river 100 yards away, it was all a blast. We hiked to the top of the gorgeous Crabtree Falls. Sad to see the orchard up the road (does not belong to the cabin owners) closed and all the apples just falling on the ground and rotting away. Seclusion at its finest. Only very tiny change I would make is to somehow put a method in to check the weather! We had a storm roll through, and we had no idea how severe it was or how long it would last. We couldn't tune in a radio station and didn't have cell service (which was great besides the weather thing).

Wonderful cabin!
We stayed here for two nights- were planning to camp nearby but the weather was not favorable. This location was perfect and the cabin was so cute. We enjoyed coffee/reading on the porch in the morning and smores around the fire at night. The kids loved the hammock and the creek. It is close to several great hiking trails and breweries. We will definitely stay again.

We highly enjoyed our stay at Spicewood Cabin. The creek was so peaceful to listen to. The only request my husband had to go away was to stay by a creek and it delivered. We loved the wood stove and the cabin. We had everything we needed. Also enjoyed Crabtree falls meadow and the excursion to the top of the mountain. It’s nice to unplug and relax in nature. Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back again

Awesome retreat!
We loved everything about this sweet little place. Everything was explained nicely. House was stocked with all the essentials and the coffee in the morning was a great touch. I love the little details everywhere. The creek in the back is a wonderful place to start your day. The fire area was wonderful. I loved relaxing in the hammock after hiking each day. Unplugging was a game changer. I even got my husband to play board games one night. There are some hunting dogs that live up the road and if the winds just right, you can hear them. Beyond that there are so many trails nearby. It's so peaceful. If you have a 4wd dare yourself to follow the Crabtree meadows parking lot signs a few miles up the road. You drive until the last 1 1/4 miles to the top and hike the rest. Great adventure. We will be back!
