About this property

Enjoy a secluded cabin on a large tract of land all to yourself. Get up in the morning and go for a swim in the River or take an exhilarating hike up RockRidge that overlooks the property.

Hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoy the river and mountain surroundings. Hot tub is warm and bubbling!
This is a small cozy cabin located on the ridge overlooking the river. I trail goes down to the river and gazebo area. There is a large screened in porch that connects to an outdoor grilling and eating area. An air conditioner is located in the cabin but during extreme heat only works to keep the cabin comfortable. Great for families or those that enjoy nature.

Anniversary adventure

We had a great time. Cabin is well maintained and well furnished . Views are beautiful. We hiked around the property, went fishing, and relaxed in the hot tub. We had our two dogs with us and they were able to run and hike with us and play in the creek. Owner very helpful and communicated well. Highly recommended this property

Family Glamping Trip

We wanted to take our large-ish family camping but have a wild toddler and still preferred a walled structure ifyouknowwhatImean. :-) First impression? Small - but the owner warned us and I was under no false assumptions. Kids LOVED the hot tub to death. Firepit and S'Mores were a nightly event. It was peaceful - could still hear the road a small amount but it wasn't busy so really just the occasional car. Very secluded and beautiful. Great stargazing. Fishing was good. We were there early October so the colors were spectacular. We walked around the property quite a bit and it was perfect for little kids and young teens who want to wander. Will love to come again! The ONLY reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 was that 1) the kitchen was extremely small - microwave, toaster oven, and 2-burner cooktop. The grill made up for it, but it was still hard to cook for our family of 7 with that setup. 2) hardly any indoor space - it was pretty chilly one of the days up there and we had to just sit on the floor inside because the only seating was a small loveseat and really no "living room". There again - the screened in porch more than made up for it, but when the weather is bad, what to do...? Anyways, loved it nonetheless!

A good getaway

The property itself was picturesque. It was quiet and comfortable—a very romantic place for a couple. The weather was perfect too; if you’re thinking about the time of year, I suggest Labor Day weekend.

While small, it worked for the six of us, and the screened in porch made it! Jeff was very responsive and informative, and the place was very clean.

Everything in one place!

We had such a relaxing time at this cabin. The screened porch, deck and hot tub have amazing views and you can hear the water because there's no road noise. Once we checked in we didn't leave the property and really loved exploring the ridge, splashing in the stream and cooking on the grill. They really have all the essentials for a great outdoor weekend. If you want to stay inside sit on a couch and watch TV this is not the place for you. If you want to spend all your waking hours (and some naps!) outside then this is the place. It's like mega-glamping. The owner was friendly and offered great text based hospitality. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful escape with lots of relaxation!

My family of four (2 young adult children) stayed in this cabin for a few nights. The property was beautiful and well managed. There was a huge grill, plenty of outdoor seating, and a nice fire pit surrounded by chairs. A large pathway was cleared to provide nice, long walks along the property with gorgeous scenery. The cabin itself had a screen-enclosed porch with comfortable chairs. The inside provided all the necessities, including toiletries in case you may forget. The host even left a basket for all the supplies for smores! The beds were comfortable had plenty of pillows. The internet worked well even when several people were using it at the same time. The owner also was very responsive and communicated with us prior to arrival. I would definitely recommend this little cabin!

The perfect secluded getaway

My family and I live in a city where the hustle and bustle gets old. This was the perfect escape where we were able to relax, unwind, and refresh from our daily lives. The cabin was cozy, the beds were comfy, and the porch was a great outdoor living room. we spent most of our time outside. Coffee in the mornings on the porch, fishing and swimming in the river most of the day, and grilling, fooseball, board games with the kids, campfires (with smores) and hot tub at night. Most importantly, the hospitality was on point. Jeff, the owner, was responsive, friendly, funny and informative. We communicated for weeks before the trip and he sent me pictures, answered questions and assisted in anything we needed. I highly recommend this destination and can't wait to bring my family back! Thank you Jeff!!!!

Perfect Nature Getaway

We had a blast fishing, shooting, riding ATVs, hiking, making s'mores over the camp fire and relaxing in the cozy cabin. Love the fact that we could bring our dogs, they had a great time too! We will definitely be back next summer!

Complete and full detachment, serenity, and solitude - this place is perfect. Nice touch - the chocolate and marshmallows. Thank you!

Best VBRO experience to date!

If you’re looking for a secluded cabin get away in this area, I can’t recommend this property enough. The only time we left it in our 5 day stay was to go out to eat in the town of Paint Bank - the Swinging Bridge cafe (another gem!) We swam in the creek and hiked with our dog. Had a soak in the hot tub (minus the dog ;) … and then did it all over again. The cabin was just right - king bed in one room and great bunk beds in the other. All mattress were very comfortable. No bugs - except the ones outside ;) Very clean. The screened in porch was great for morning coffee, we also chose to eat dinner out there. If you’re looking for a place to really unplug, this was perfect! Although we did have a good wifi connection when needed. Our son and dog want to know when we can go back! *oh, another review mentions broken down items on the property…and while there was one “abandoned” very small barn/shed area…it didn’t detract at all from the beauty of the property. But I like old things/ruins, I think it gives a place character.

Terrific!

Jeff was a responsive and patient host. The property was a 7 hour drive for us and we weren't sure to expect, so he took plenty of time to explain what we had to look forward to and sent pictures not on the listing. The cabin is lovely and the outdoor sitting area/hot tub were well laid out and a lovely place to relax after exploring the area, hiking on the property and swimming. The space and privacy were just lovely.

Awesome cabin for the outdoor family

We had a wonderful time at The Rock! The cabin was clean and cozy. The screened in porch was perfect to escape the bugs and sun but still be outside. Fire pit, hot tub, and deck were great! It's the perfect spot to get outdoors with all the comfort of indoor ammenities. The river is just a short walk, and there is plenty of space to roam other than that. The property is well kept, and the owner is very responsive and polite. Very secluded. 10/10. Would recommend.

Missing on the details

The property was beautiful with wonderful views. It was divided into picturesque spots to enjoy, but each spot contained a blemish that really needed attended to. At the river Gazebo there was a dilapidated plastic table that needed gathered up but instead was being ignored and mowed around. Behind the hot tub was a car bumper and tire. Also the Hot tub lid had broken at some time and it would not keep temperature so it was cold and buggy. There was no way to skim the water and if we wanted to use it we had to go out every 20 min for 2 hours before use to turn on the jets to heat it up. The Cabin was fairly clean but the one bedroom had an ant problem . However our biggest issue, we were provide with 1 roll of Toilet paper for 4 people and our stay was a full week. When I contacted the property manager for a supply he simply answered, "Normally we leave a few rolls." but did not do anything to rectify the issue when asked. Since the nearest store was a 20 min drive 1 direction, that is a BIG DETAIL!

Great Stay

The property was perfect. Everything worked as promised. We enjoyed sitting around the fire looking at the stars. We sat on the swing by the river and watched otters swim past. Hiked everywhere. We cooked breakfast and dinner each day. Great place for a getaway. Highly reccomended.
