Secluded Cabin Escape with Fire Pit & Scenic Views

  • Welcome to Golden Ridge Cabin!

    This rustic cabin borders the George Washington National Forest and is just 20 minutes west of Harrisonburg, VA, and 20 minutes east of the WV state line. The home offers total privacy in the woods and includes easy access to numerous mountain biking trails, hiking trails, & trout fishing locations. An outdoor enthusiast's ideal scenario. Two bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and the option for additional guests with a sleeper sofa. Stay and disconnect to reconnect.

    Upon your arrival at Golden Ridge Cabin, you’re instantly greeted with this calming state of mind by the faint sounds of the Dry River and the wind blowing through the tree canopy on the mountain side. The cabin is located in the historical community of, Rawley Springs - famous for its medicinal mountain streams, Black Run and the Dry River.

    Whether you’re yearning for the weekend retreat, the outdoor adventure, couples getaway, or creative inspiration - this is the cabin experience that you didn’t realize you needed.

    The cabin sits on five acres bordering George Washington National Forest. At sunrise & sunset from the porches, or the top of the property, you can see the sun cast its golden light on the mountain ridge across the valley.

    At nightfall, enjoy the fire pit accompanied by four Adirondack chairs that allows you to converse, reconnect, relax and gaze at the stars above.

Rustic Cabin Perfection!

What a lovely cabin only 15-20 minutes from Harrisonburg. The cabin is rustic (in the way you want a cabin to be rustic) with so many charming details- from the little coffee nook to the outdoor string lights. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. We hope to book again!
