Wonderful family get away
Susan's place was a perfect place for me to gather with my children, their significant others, and grandchildren. The house was as advertised! it was secluded and quiet and the kitchen came fully appointed with pots, pans, utensils, plates, silverware, you name it. We cooked all our meals at the house and had everything we needed. Thank you Susan for letting us stay in your peaceful, mountain cabin.

Old World Charm w/ Modern Amenities.
The cabin was perfect! All who were with me couldn't stop commenting on its charm and calm. The location is remote, but that is its charm - connecting with family and friends without distractions. The exterior is nature's beauty; and the interior is modern and accommodating without loosing the aesthetics of the primitive yesteryears. We booked this VRBO to accompany our long weekend wine tour itinerary. Excellent! We can honestly say we would not change a thing - other maybe we needed to book a longer stay.

A Hidden Gem!
We booked a two-night stay for weekend getaway. We found the cabin to be the perfect spot to take advantage of all that the region has to offer and a special vacation destination in and of itself. It's a lovely space in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Everything was as advertised and owners were communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Thank you for a wonderful weekend in the woods! Despite having rainy weather, we enjoyed ourselves -- the fire was cozy, the walks in the forest made us happy, and we enjoyed the quiet.

Great experience at this modern log cabin
We had a great time with our group of three families. We found the house to be a perfect blend of new and old. It had all of the modern appliances we needed, but we also enjoyed using the woodstove and fireplace. We hiked right from the house on the grounds and our kids were outside the entire weekend. The kitchen layout is definitely from another era, so it was a bit challenging having the sink on its own while cleaning up from larger meals. We didn't mind, but it might bother others. We loved the cabinet full of sheets for all of the beds. It was so nice that we did not need to bring our own linens. All in all a great experience and we are planning to return!

Rustic relaxation
Very remote cabin getaway with plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed our trip there, kids played all over the woods and us adults sat in rockers on the porch and caught up with each other. The cabin has some amazing features, and some quirky ones too, but everything worked and we were comfortable.

Wonderful stay with family
We spent a few days in this warm and inviting cabin. There was plenty of room for our group of 13 (6 kids). The porch swing was the kids' favorite, and everyone enjoyed having meals outside. It is a great location for fishing, hiking, and songs around the campfire. We would most certainly come back!!!

Lovely cabin in mountains
Pretty spot perched on the side of a mountain. Quaint double-cabin with modern amenities. In between the Route 151 and Route 29 corridors in Nelson County. Enjoyed our stay. Great family time. Played games, cooked meals. The only downside is the 15 minutes to get down the mountain, though the gravel road was in good condition and the trip gorgeous each time! We traveled each day to the many restaurants, wineries, cideries and the cool Crozet Tunnel, so the distance down the mountain did not slow us down. A great spot in the mountains. We would return again for the firepit when not in July-August.

Old time charm with modern comforts, perfect for our large group!
This cabin was a perfect fit for our large group of 15. Between the roomy common areas and the porch and fire pit seating we never felt like we were on top of each other. If anyone felt the need to have their own private, quiet space then the bedrooms provided an escape as they are well separated from not only the living areas but also each other. The layout is very smart and comfortable. The youngest kids in our group loved the "secret" bedroom! The cabin is very clean and has absolutely everything you need. The overall feel is of a place that's been in the family for generations rather than a temporary vacation rental. Working wood stoves and hand-hewn logs provide authentic old mountain cabin vibes but air conditioning, satellite TV and wifi mean you certainly aren't roughing it! The location is well off the beaten path and completely private but a reasonably short drive to the Blue Ridge Pkwy/Skyline Drive for our daily hiking excursions. I highly recommend this place to outdoor lovers and those who want to get away from it all!

Gorgeous weekend and fun times
Super time had by all. A group of 10 women celebrating a 60th and a 40th birthday. Cabin a nice gathering spot. Love the glass openess between 2 cabins and the fireplace. We enjoyed 3 wineries one day, hiked up the mountain one day and enjoyed a dinner in Charlottesville. Be aware that driveway up to cabin would not be fun in snow or bad weather. We had beautiful weather but did have 4 cars which can be tricky to park and turn around at top.

Response from VrboOwner on Feb 16, 2023
We're so glad you enjoyed our antique log cabin - and Happy Birthday! We're centrally located to wineries! Note to guests: There is a turn-around spot near the end of the driveway (please don't turn around at the very end, though). The driveway is wide and mostly level, so there is enough parking along it for our guests.

The cabin is amazing-- wonderful location, roomy yet very cozy at the same time. My non-profit organization brought our staff of 16 here for two nights for our fall staff retreat. We enjoyed excellent fires and board games in the living room in the evenings, and productive strategic planning sessions during the day. The beautiful setting and sense of being away really fueled our creativity and success.

This was the perfect property for my group of 17. We stayed from a Friday - Sunday. This was a beautifully put together cabin with authentic appliances, furnishings, etc. We felt like we were in another time. There was plenty of space inside and outside for everyone to spread out. The owner had excellent communication and responded quickly. We never needed anything other than what we brought. We would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you so much for an awesome memory and experience to start my birthday month!

Great Weekend Getaway
This place is an absolute gem. The description of it on the page is very accurate, only its even more magical in person. The combination of the old cabin and 100 year old fridge and wood burning stove in the kitchen give this place so much charm, while the modern amenities (dishwasher, central heat/ac, etc) make this place very comfortable. The middle room with the wall of window doors that open up were especially enjoyed in the perfect fall weather(no bugs!) and we kept them open during the day. The fire pit was also greatly enjoyed in the comfortable adirondack chairs. We will definitely come back, thank you for having us!

Perfect home for a small family reunion
Our group was 3.5 couples. Everyone had plenty of personal space (bedrooms and bathrooms) The living area, eating area, porch and fire pit are comfortable and spacious for everyone to be together. If I had to state a negative, it would be that the refrigerator is tiny. We shopped for big breakfasts at the cabin and a couple dinners. Luckily we had brought a cooler for the overflow.

Amazing rustic retreat...with everything!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed all that the uniqueness of this property offers! It was rustic as an 1880's cabin would be and yet had all the conveniences we needed. So much history - the grandkids were taken back in time in their surroundings and learned a lot! We loved the porch, the firepit, the quiet surroundings; also breweries, wineries, Monticello, hiking and rafting. Thank you, Susan for a wonderful vacation spot!

A mixture of modern and old, such a cool property!
This cabin is perfect for groups, would be a little too much room for 2 but still wonderful. Each room as multiple beds. The loft room with 3 twins is the small children's room. Very cute but most adults would not be comfortable in the room. Antique refrigerator works great once it cools off, amazing! Well stocked with dishes, soap, garbage bags etc. while we were there and we added to the stash. Perfect for our son's Graduation from UVA! We saw many deer and 1 bear so be careful when driving, especially at night!

Absolutely amazing
This is by far the neatest property I’ve been to in a long time. We really needed to get away and enjoy the outdoors, and this place went above and beyond our expectations. Every detail of the house made me smile and was absolutely awesome. The details the owners have put into this gorgeous rustic cabin make it so special. I felt like every minute I was discovering a new cool artifact or knickknack. The kitchen is the coolest and brought back memories from my grandmother, making it a very special place! The property is just gorgeous and the owners go so far to make it a fun (AND comfortable!) place to explore and relax. If you can visit this amazing place, do it— you won’t be disappointed!!

Christmas with the Family
This is a gorgeous and very unique vacation rental, perfect for gathering with another family. There's plenty of room to gather for meals and board games, etc. The fire pit got morning, noon and evening use. We took lovely strolls in the woods with the dogs in the day and enjoyed the stars at night from the huge rocking chair porch. The two joined cabins are marvels of hewn wooden beams and stone. The whole visit was a wonderful rustic experience- but if you need your wifi and big screen tv, you'll have that as well! You really won't want to leave.
