Close to Heaven...On a hill in Carroll County, Va. and just 1.5 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway is Fernwood Cabin. The cabin is just 15 minutes from Hillsville and Galax, Va. and sits on the edge of the Crooked Creek Area--trout fee fishing/recreation area. Come walk or bike the New River Trail. Stay in a log cabin which is new, nicely furnished with hardwood floors and an oriental rugs in the living room/kitchen area and the sitting area on th second floor. At the entrance, sofa and upholstered chair sit next to a stacked stone electric fireplace with remote. An antique reproduction kitchen table and four chairs are in the kitchen which has pine cabinets. There is a walnut three drawer chest against the wall steps. The down stairs bedroom has a queen size poster bed and a antique chest which sits on a room sized rug. The full bath is on the first floor. A flat screen tv sits above the rock fireplace mantle with a dvd player available. There is a radio and cd player available.

The back door of the cabin takes you to a covered deck that overlooks the mountains. Sit on rockers on the porch or eat your meals on the porch table. A rock walk leads to the front porch which faces out toward the entrance road and a wooded lot across the road. Four large rocking chairs are available to sit on the two porches. The road is paved to the house which has a gravel driveway that runs next to the house.The home has a heat pump and is comfortable both in the summer and winter. We now have Wifi.

Blue Ridge Get Away
Lovely small cabin in secluded rural surroundings. Location is very convenient to Blue Ridge Parkway, New River bike trails, and many other outdoor activities for young and old. Cabin decor reflects the host's intent to create a cozy welcoming home feeling. The cabin and furnishings were clean and well cared for. Host provided excellent literature for things to do and directions to almost anywhere you would like to visit.

Great place to relax.
Everything was as described, and we had everything we needed. A freshly cut flower greeted us on the table. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the evening, listening to the birds, watching the sun set and an occasional deer stroll by. We spent a couple of days exploring Mt. Airy, NC and a few spots closer by in VA. Thanks for a relaxing time.

Great place overall
We really enjoyed our stay overall. Here are some pros and cons..... PROS - Excellent communication with owner. Judy responded VERY quickly to any issues we had, and even brought us some great muffins. Great owner, and we really appreciated that - Nice quiet location and quiet country neighborhood, and not far from major things we wanted to see. - Very easy to pull up right next to cabin to unload luggage - Electric fireplace was very nice to have - Bed in downstairs bedroom was really comfortable CONS - Some towels and wash cloths were past their useful age. BUT.... When we called Judy about this, she brought us some brand new towels...and responded very quickly. - Bedroom dresser off balance and had drawers that were hard to open. - Cabin was closer to the main road than we expected. But the road had very little traffic, so this wasn't as big an issue as we first thought. - Short stone path leading from driveway to front porch is uneven and really needs some work to be good to walk on. Overall, we did enjoy our stay here. The cabin is small (which is clearly stated in description), but is very comfortable. Excellent owner (Judy) who responds very quickly to any issues that arise. She clearly cares about her cabin.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway
Fernwood Cabin was awesome and just what we were looking for. It was a beautiful log cabin tucked away in the woods. Quiet and peaceful location yet not too far to find stuff to do if you want. Cabin was very clean, and everything was just as advertised. Communication from owners was excellent and they had good, detailed information about things to do in the area . We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.

Cozy place to stay
The cabin was clean and adorable. Pretty architecture. The property had lovely wildflowers and as we sat quietly on the porch we got to observe some deer grazing. The elevation provided relief from the heat and humidity.

Darling cabin in the woods
We loved this little cabin! It was super clean and had everything we needed. Love the porches and the quiet. It was perfect for our 30th anniversary getaway. This cabin would comfortably sleep 2 couples and has plenty of room. The towels were fluffy and the bed was comfy. It’s remote and takes some twisting and turning to get to, but it’s well worth it and truly convenient to everything. Judy is a great host!

Perfect Carroll County Retreat
Looking for a restful getaway from the daily grind? Look no further. This cabin is very charming and comfortable. The cleanliness is better than 4 star resorts. It’s obvious the owners take a lot of pride in this well maintained gem. Judy was fantastic and easy to communicate with. Better than advertised!!! We will be back.

Fernwood
The property was well keep cabin was clean and neat. The only thing that bothered us was the map showing the golf courses we want to play was deceiving. Distance was only 12 miles but traveling was over 45 minutes because of all the back roads. No direct way. If you are a nature lover and want peace and quiet this is the place. Area was safe and the travel from main road to cabin very interesting. We enjoyed. Gene and Wanda

As lifelong residents of the area, we hope to provide a retreat for those who long for a beak from the rat race we all experience these days. We're now retired from busy, stressful careers, and we know that a weekend or more away in the beautiful rural Blue Ridge Mountains will rejuvenate your spirits.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is on a hill overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Roughly hewn logs lend a feeling of going back to the past. It is a perfect place to slow down and think or to just take a walk. One mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Five Miles from Blue Ridge Music Center, 3 Miles from Crooked Creek Fee Fishing/Recreation Area. About 23 miles from Mount Airy NC. home of Andy Griffith.
