Guest Reviews

We stayed at Barb's House, and it was absolutely beautiful. Being able to sit on the deck and listen to the water and nature was so peaceful. It is tucked away from the other houses, which adds to the feeling of being surrounded by nature. The owners are also extremely pleasant and caring. The communication with them was great, and they even went out of their way to help us get back something we left in the cabin. It really is a great location run by even better people.

Our family stayed at Barb's House, very nice unit, its away from the other units. The whole family had a great time. Our kids (ages 4 and 5) were infatuated with the kitty cat that visited us. We also hiked half way up the Crabtree Falls trail. We also visited a swimming hole down the road. All in all great trip. No one wanted to leave. Accommodations were great.

Other Details

Please treat our home as you would treat your own. We love to open our cabins to guests so others may create wonderful memories here as we have. However, if a cabin becomes damaged, it hinders our ability to share the cabin with other guests. Please tidy up prior to your departure by washing all dishes and cooking utensils. Our housekeeper comes by and changes the beds and freshens between each reservation but please feel free to help by placing the used towels in the bathtub and please leave beds that were slept in unmade. There is no need to pull linens.

Please remember there is NO SMOKING inside the cabin. Pets are allowed for an additional $50 per night (for pets, we will require a credit card to keep on file). We also request you please be mindful of neighbors and keep the noise to a minimal after 9:00 PM.

Firewood is available for sale on site or guests may bring their own firewood that has been obtained from Virginia. We kindly request no out-of-state firewood on site. Again, for purchase of firewood we will require a card to be kept on file.

Most importantly– Enjoy yourself! There are so many wonderful options for how to spend your time here. Please take every opportunity to explore this beautiful area and all it has to offer!
