Whimsical Creekside Cabin

Escape to our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Fall asleep to sounds of Little Mary’s Creek, enjoy your coffee on the wrap around deck, or delight in exploring your own 7 acres in the forest. Our cabin is a cheerful, clean cottage to come home to- or decide to spend your days on property splashing in the creek and sitting out by the fire pit.

The space
Our cozy cabin is a new build that celebrates our relationships and planting roots in Virginia.

It comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed on the main level and 2 single beds in the loft. We are happy to accommodate a 5th guest on a trundle bed in the loft for an additional fee. Please note that the loft is accessed by a mounted ladder with a safety railing, which may not be suitable for all guests.

The eat in kitchen is fully stocked to prepare all of your meals. We provide organic coffee and teas, sugar, creamer, olive oil, salt and pepper. The bathroom features EWG certified clean shampoo conditioner and local artisan soap.

Unplug, explore, read from a carefully curated selection of books, or play a number of favorite games. Turn on the tv upstairs or the portable DVD downstairs to enjoy a variety of movies.

Our cabin is on the side of the mountain with some steep terrain and lots of natural elements outside to discover. The creek is a fun place to splash and explore.

Cell phone service is very limited.

There is no Internet at this time.

Note that in all of the beauty and serenity of nature, there can be dangers. Please be aware of your surroundings- and remember that we share this amazing property with insects, plants, and animals that are native to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The cabin was adorable and cozy and the area around it was gorgeous. It was too cold for much time around the firepit, but it was relaxing to just read and play board games. We enjoyed hiking at Crabtree Falls. It was a perfect Thanksgiving getaway.

Great cozy space. This is a fantastic location if you are looking for a remote spot to be off the grid. The creek is a huge advantage compared to other listings. As long as you are ok with no WiFi and bad cell reception, you will love it.

Our family greatly appreciated our stay at this comfortable and welcoming cabin! Its location was conveniently located between two colleges that our family was visiting and gave us a chance to explore a small part of the Blue Ridge Parkway with its beautiful fall scenery. The cabin was equipped with everything that we needed for a night away. The host was very prompt and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!
