Rest for all

This home had room for our children and grandchildren. The wraparound porch was amazing, the views were stunning, the July air was cool and refreshing. The house was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed, even a high chair! There was plenty of adventure nearby, but we mostly enjoyed being together in this home.

Enjoyed by all! We left a hatchet down by the fire pit. Did you find it and could I pay to have you ship it to me? It has some sentimental value to the owner, otherwise I would not ask.

An Outstanding Place!

We where here for 3 days with extended family to attend a wedding locally. Our host was prompt in responding to all of our questions and inquiries before arrival. Our party consisted of 6 adults and 4 children. With children ranging in age from 3 to 16, there was plenty to keep their attention, from the game room to toys, puzzles, and fishing in the picturesque pond with fountain behind the house. The kitchen was well equipped for the large meals we prepared, and there was ample seating for additional guests we had over during our stay. All of the bedrooms were large and comfortable. The outdoors around the property was lovely for strolling or going on an extended hike along the horse trail and stream that extends far behind the property. House is in a gated community about 25-30 minutes from Sparta. Recommend doing grocery shopping before arrival. We rate our experience here as exceptional, and would not hesitate to recommend!

Beautiful home, beautiful location, beautiful memories!

What an amazing vacation for our family! We enjoyed this beautiful home & property so much & can't recommend it enough. It was so spacious, yet so cozy. The home was super clean & just had so many unique touches. Lots of seating in the kitchen & family room. Large bedrooms & bathrooms. Large, well-equipped kitchen (& a grill on the deck!). We enjoyed fishing in the pond, walking the trails, smores at the fire pit, fun competition in the game room, & just hanging out on the porch. Our family enjoyed this home more than any we have ever stayed in & we made so many wonderful memories. Tana was a wonderful host and was so responsive to our questions. Running Doe Lodge will likely be an annual tradition now for our family.

Perfect week away from stress of life

We've stayed at this property 5 times now. First 4 times with previous owner and once with new owners. We love being away from normal life stress. This place is extremely remote and in beautiful area. Very happy with the little updates and changes. Hope to visit again. Wish bob (Giant catfish) was still in pond. This is first time we havent seem him. Plenty of fish and turtles in the pond. We spent most of the week relaxing fishing the pond with a competition on who would catch the most.

Great Cabin Vacation

This cabin is one of a kind. Three floors where each of my two sons had their family and my wife and I on main level. Very clean and accommodating. Nice fish pond where we caught and released many fish. Had nightly fire in fire pit. Took my golf cart and the grandkids enjoyed the evening rides throughout the community seeing many deer. No close neighbors. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing, yet adventurous vacation.

Scenic Wilderness Escape: Serene & Nature-Rich

This place was amazing. It had enough rough for our extended family. The children enjoyed the game room tremendously. We loved the view and everyone having their own room. The place was beautiful for Christmas time. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a place not located in town to pick this house. The WiFi was super helpful because we did not have great service with our phones, but that’s what a vacation is for to get away with minimal distractions. Wildlife was around every night and morning.

Great cabin!

Super cabin for 3-4 couples and kids. We had 3 couples and the cabin was great. Great layout, amenities and comfort. Plenty of large beds and sitting space. Beautiful meadow next to house to watch wildlife. Diner at the Corner Market nearby was very good. We rode down Creeper Trail one day and hiked up Mt Rogers the next day. Sat by fire in the evenings. Nearby Red Dog Bistro is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so the diner is only place nearby to eat. Well equipped kitchen at the cabin if you want to cook. We’ll be back!
