Summer Specials

  • This place is absolutely awesome. Your cabin is great, everything about it, the cleanliness, the view, the deck, the river, I could go on and on...
  • What wonderful accommodations! It's just absolutely beautiful! It was in a great location for us as we were able to explore Cascade Falls and Mountain Lake on our way to and from Virginia Tech. We will return.
  • The cabin was perfect for a quiet weekend getaway! The hosts were really helpful and did a great job communicating everything we’d need. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck in the morning and taking in the sounds of the creek and breathing fresh mountain air! We’ll definitely be back!
