If you want to get away from it all, sit back, relax, and enjoy nature, this is the cabin for you!

Private and secluded but has modern amenities.

Cozy getaway
My husband totally loved it. My dog was very comfortable as well. We set up his bed from home in front of the fireplace and he was out like a light. We couldn’t figure out how to light the fireplace but it was all good because it was warm from the heaters in there. Definitely like to revisit in the summer months.

Private and secluded
This property was as advertised. The seclusion was absolute. Nice to not hear or see any neighbors or traffic. The house had some nice touches including updated bathroom, nice kitchen appliances and excellent bedding. My couple of suggestions would be to clean up the outdoor space and perhaps finish the kitchen cabinets. The deck table and chairs needed a good cleaning to be useful but we didn't have the supplies to do it. The patio firepit was left rather messy by previous guests. However, we found the creekside firepit to be pleasant. All in all, a good experience and would recommend.

The house is located in a small hollow with a stream running near it. No other visible man-made properties to be seen. Extremely private, beautiful natural vegetation. How amenities are basic but OK. Highly recommended.

Private cabin get away
Really cute cabin that is private. It was a nice get away and about 30min drive from Smith mountain lake park! You can see that they are updating things in the cabin like the bathroom. The owners Michelle and Lonnie McDonald, are really nice and very responsive! With every question we had, we heard something back within minutes. Also the path for the river was closed and we messaged to find out another access point, She got in contact with one of her neighbors (which was really nice and friendly) an let us use his property to go fishing on the river! 10 out of 10 would recommend And would definitely come back for another weekend get away that's peaceful, clean, friendly neighbors, and respectable owners!!

Lovely!
My husband and I celebrated our first year anniversary together with our pup. Fantastic place, super close to SML (30 minute drive, 15-20 miles away)! Perfect basic amenities and very comfy! Only qualms would be that the check out times were different from my reservation email (11am) from the homeowners binder (10am) which got us a little razzled on check out morning, and the address was off by a number, but with common sense and luckily daylight, we assumed correctly. Thank y’all for sharing your place with us!

Peaceful Getaway
The overall experience of our cabin getaway was very pleasant. I felt that everything we needed to just relax and enjoy nature, was available. Having a campfire at night and looking up at the stars was beautiful. We will gladly come back in the future to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Beautiful Private Country Cabin
We absolutely loved this property. Not quite rustic but country and private enough you can get a bit of that camp feel but with all the amenities of home, even wifi for the city folk who can't quite break away or if you just need it for cell service.. Close enough to town (Gretna) for groceries, shopping or a bite to eat if you don't want to peruse the cabin's kitchen.. Can't wait to get a longer stay in so we can explore the creek and have a campfire or 2.. Michelle and Lonnie answered messages quickly and we had no real concerns. 10/10 recommend <3
