Close to town

The cabin was cozy and nicely equipped for 2 people. The hot tub was in excellent condition and had an outdoor TV. The cabin was within a mile outside the town of Monterey. We enjoyed the Maple Festival. Would definitely stay there again!

Top of the Mountain Experience

We were looking for a quiet, out in the country place to celebrate our anniversary and came across this quaint cabin just outside Monterey, VA. The cabin is cozy, and it worked well for just the two of us. We took advantage of the hot tub which was very well maintained. We also lit up the firepit on another evening while watching the moon rise over the hills. The cabin is just a few minutes from Monterey (which sits in the valley just below the cabin.) Monterey is a small but interesting town that had everything we needed including several nice restaurants. We recommend Claire's, High's, and The Highlander restaurants. We used the cabin as a launching point for multiple daytrips to Cass WV (for the scenic train and a visit to Snowshoe ski resort), Staunton, and Harrisonburg (for the Skeleton Festival.) The cabin's location somewhat in the middle of all three worked out perfectly. Also, we were just down the road from the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest which gave us plenty of beautiful October leaves to look at. Overall, we are very happy we stumbled across the listing for the cabin. It was unpretentious and just what we were looking for. We recommend.

A quiet and relaxing weekend.

We had arrived pretty late at night and had a little trouble finding the place, but once we did, we found it was just as cozy as the pictures showed. The space was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was just what we needed. Not only would I love to come back but I would recommend this place to everyone.

Our Story:

Orlesa Farms has always been a part of our lives. Originally established as a family farm in Augusta County, we raised cattle and grew our deep appreciation for nature and simplicity. As the years passed, we decided to extend our passion for the land and its beauty by sharing it with others. When the opportunity to acquire the Top of Jack Mountain property arose, we knew it was a perfect fit.

Nestled atop Jack Mountain, this cabin offers the ideal blend of seclusion and accessibility, allowing guests to experience both the rugged charm of Highland County and the convenience of modern amenities. Though the cabin sits in a more rustic environment than our previous bed-and-breakfast property in Staunton, the idea remains the same: to provide a serene retreat where people can unwind and reconnect with nature.

We take pride in offering a space that reflects the peaceful lifestyle we love, complete with the comforts of home. Whether you're looking to explore the nearby picturesque town of Monterey or hike through the scenic mountains, we hope you'll find your stay at Top of Jack Mountain as rejuvenating and fulfilling as we do.

Why they chose this property

Why We Chose This Neighborhood:

We fell in love with this location for its tranquil, slower pace and the sense of stepping back in time. Nestled among the trees, the cabin provides a secluded atmosphere where you can enjoy the sky and stars above the treetops, and the peacefulness of the surrounding woods. The rear portion of the property, with a fire pit, creates a serene setting perfect for reconnecting with nature.

Beyond its atmosphere, we also chose this spot for its proximity to some of the area's finest attractions. Within an hour's drive, you can explore the world-renowned Greenbrier Resort, ski the slopes at Snowshoe Mountain in the winter, or visit the nearby Hot Springs area. While you may hear an occasional truck pass by on Route 250, the cabin offers easy access without the hassle of steep, rugged mountain roads. As a weather emergency route maintained by VDOT year-round, you'll have peace of mind during all seasons, making this the ideal base camp for exploring the beauty of Highland County and beyond.

What makes this property unique

What Makes Our Property Unique:

Our cabin at Top of Jack Mountain offers a mountain retreat with modern amenities. The cabin's rear wooded setting provides a true sense of escape, seclusion, and tranquility. The cabin sits at a high elevation of 3,550 feet, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed views of the night sky, perfect for stargazing. The peaceful setting is enhanced by modern comforts, including a grill located on a covered patio, making it the ideal spot to relax after a day of adventure.

Our location is not only secluded but also convenient. Unlike other mountain properties that may require navigating steep, rugged roads, our cabin is directly off Route 250, a state-maintained emergency route, ensuring easy year-round access no matter the weather. This makes it the perfect base for exploring nearby attractions like The Greenbrier Resort, Snowshoe Mountain for winter skiing, Cass Scenic Railroad, and the Hot Springs area-all within an easy drive.

What truly sets us apart is the personal touch we offer. From the fire pit with a complimentary bundle of wood to our selection of add-on packages like local farm-to-table experiences and hiking adventures, we aim to make your stay as memorable and comfortable as possible. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a quiet retreat, our cabin combines the best of nature, seclusion, and convenience.
