About Crabtree Falls...
Crabtree Falls is The Old Dominion’s best kept secret. Located midway between Charlottesville and Lynchburg, Virginia, just six miles off the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, Crabtree Falls is the largest vertical drop waterfall east of the Mississippi River.
Hikers, backpackers and campers enjoy miles of nature trails
in the falls area. The trails of the
falls
lead hikers up to where the trail meets the Appalachian Trail. The falls trails lead hikers along a
rigorous five-mile loop which offers stunning views of the five cascades of
Crabtree Falls. The vertical drop
totals over 1,500 feet!
Here at Crabtree Falls, weary travelers will find retreat from the hustle, bustle and pressures of life. Here you will find serenity in the sights, sounds and aroma of nature. You will experience the refreshment of life from a more simple time. Here you can listen to the thunderous roar of thousands of gallons of water spilling over a cliff and crashing hundreds of feet below on ancient rocks. Or you can feel the cool, damp air of the morning dew resting on a fern. The serenity of nature at Crabtree Falls will renew your spirit and lift your soul.
To experience Crabtree Falls to the fullest, plan to come for a weekend or even a week or more. The Cabins at Crabtree Falls offer simple, rustic yet comfortable accommodations. Located on the beautiful Tye River, the Cabins at Crabtree Falls are just a short walk from the falls parking area. Monticello, Ash Lawn, Michies Tavern and the University of Virginia are just a forty-five minute drive. The falls area is just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

About us…

My wife, Vickie, and I have been property owners here at Crabtree Falls since 1984. In 2000, we purchased Annie’s Cabin, Barb’s House and Jack’s Place from Barbara Otto, a long-time family friend.
Vickie
and I have a son, JD and daughter, Beth Anne. The
Blue Ridge Mountains, and especially Crabtree Falls, are one of our favorite
vacation spots. When the cabins
became available to us it was an opportunity too good to pass up. Our family
frequently visits here at Crabtree Falls and you may see us around during your
visit. If so, please stop and say
hello! We want our guests to become
our friends!
Vickie
