Clean, comfortable, cozy cabin

The cabin is a wonderful place to stay. The bed is super comfortable, the towels are soft, the kitchen is equipped, and everything is clean. Check-in was simple, parking was ample, and communication with the host was fantastic. I loved the beautiful fall decorations throughout the rooms. If I am ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to book this property.

Fabulous all around!

This property was so comfortable and homey, and the location was unbeatable if traveling on the Parkway. The host (Shelia) is fabulous at communicating and is very accommodating. She added lovely fall decorations to the place to make it extra special. The bed is very comfortable, as well. We would love to stay here again if back in the area! A+++++

Perfect

We just stayed this weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it was great. Quiet, clean, kitchen was well equiped all you need to do is bring the ingredients, bed was comfortable, couch was too, the towels were so soft and it was all just wonderful. Definitely better than a lot of places we have stayed Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with beautiful grounds., we enjoyed watching the cows across the way in a pasture. We definitely want to come back with the family.

Place by the Parkway Review

Wed had a good overnight stay. Niced small cabin, nicley furnished. The issues: 1) We had to plunge the toilet which backed up, and 2) Very dangerouse for old people to climb into tub/shower, with no safety rails. Could also have been safer with a rubber bath mat in slippery tub.3) A lot of barking from the neighbor's dogs. Sheila was very helpful and we may come back here again.

Highly recommended if you're cruising the Blue ridge parkway

We had a quick but wonderful stay here at this cabin. All the communication was easy and the cabin was perfect when we arrived. It has everything you need. And I appreciate that even the decorations were changed for fall. Out here. You're in the middle of nowhere and at 3:00 a.m. we woke up to check out the stars and saw several meteors. Keep in mind that you are in the middle of nowhere and there's no Wi-Fi. I would time your visit with the Blue ridge music center where there are events all the time and wonderful events from 12:00 to 4:00. I wish I could tell you that I found something that they could do better but honestly the place has it all.

Pleasant quaint cabin, right off BRP

My sister and I had a great time at the cabin, as a home base for fall foliage blue ridge parkway touring, and checking out nearby Galax and Mt. Airy. We enjoyed seeing the deer and cows nearby. The cabin had everything you needed- bed was comfy and the gas fireplace was charming. Great find!
