The cabin was wonderful. GREAT location. Even though there is no signal there and no WiFi, I had no problem finding it. This is exactly the type of property that I have been looking to buy around PA, OH, WV and MD. VA is a bit too far for me, but this cabin would make me change my mind. The pond is very nice, fishing was good in the pond and the river/creek is walking distance for some nice trout option. Made to 2 National Parks while there. Really lovely property and location. We will likely be coming back. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Host cares that you make it asking for a phone call once you arrive as it can be challenging to find the cabin. Beautiful property and the cabin fits exactly what you’re looking for when getting away for a weekend.

Had a great trip to this beautiful area. Cabin was very nice & in a very secluded area -be aware driveway very narrow. Pond with nice dock & inner tubes…. but if fishing is important to you we did not have much luck & had several visitors who showed up during our stay that took over the dock to make things not so private. I definitely recommend the cabin for convenience to Skyline Drive & Charlottesville.
