You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Life is better at the Cabin

This stunning log cabin style home is the ultimate exclusive getaway to nature, relaxation, and fun for you and your loved ones. Nestled on over 106 acres in Staunton, VA, this home provides a rustic feel and offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to seek refuge in nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Sit on the screened in porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, complete with the sound of a babbling creek with plenty of wildlife!
This home is both classic and modern, where the outdoor elements are felt throughout. The interior boasts floor to ceiling knotted pine wood with large beams tying up the vaulted ceilings. Large, oversized windows brighten up the home with plenty of natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. There are trails for walking. All of the seclusion of living in the country, yet only 5 minutes from restaurants and shopping.

Please Note: You're in Nature's Backyard!

Our home is nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and mountain region, which means you're likely to see some of our wild neighbors — including deer, turkeys, foxes, raccoons, and even the occasional bear.

To help keep both guests and wildlife safe, we kindly ask that you:
    •    Do not leave children outside unattended.
    •    Keep vehicle doors locked at all times.
    •    Avoid leaving food, trash, or scented items outdoors.
    •    Never feed, approach, or attempt to touch any wildlife.
During snowy season, all wheel drive vehicles may be required.
We strive to maintain this space as a peaceful haven for both people and nature. Thank you for helping us respect and preserve the wild beauty that makes this area so special.

You may also find bugs, snakes and critters. Brown marmorated stink bugs are proIlific in the fall and don't be surprised to see 8 legged friends, too. Oh, the thrills of country and cabin life!

This is a lovely property with a large, screened in back porch looking over a green lawn down to a stream. Our family had a fun weekend going to the Shakespeare Theatre in Staunton, doing some hiking in the George Washington National Forest and seeing a movie at the Visulite Cinema. A relaxing and well outfitted stay. We recommend!

The rooms were spacious and the well-equipped kitchen was a plus. Having two comfortable king beds and two comfortable queen beds assured a good night’s sleep. The spacious screened in porch provided a great place to listen to the birds and sip morning coffee or late afternoon tea. Two spacious showers (one a walk-in) and one tub with shower was convenient. Our host was very responsive.

The host was very communicative! The home was absolutely gorgeous. You have to be very cautious getting out of the driveway but other than that smooth sailing for getting there. The kitchen was stocked very well and was very helpful for meals. The property is beautiful!

We had an amazing stay! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 infants and the cabin was spacious, clean, and incredibly peaceful. The location offers total seclusion and beautiful mountain views, yet you are only 10 minutes from Staunton. The 3 bed/3 bath setup was perfect for us. If you are looking for a relaxing place to unplug in the Valley, this is it. 5 stars!

A very welcoming and comfortable place to stay! The host thought of everything and we enjoyed watching the sun rise over the mountain with our hot cup of coffee every morning. What a beautiful quiet place to read our Bible, Pray, and get renewed! Thank you Maryam!

The cabin was very beautiful and clean and the kitchen was stocked very well. We had plenty of privacy. Which was lovely. My only recommendations are, the kitchen could use some dish towels and maybe a spotlight to help see at night in the backyard.

Quiet. The creek was nice to hear sitting on the screened porch. The fire pit and grill a little too far down hill for this senior group. Plenty of seating in the living area and porch.Kitchen well equipped. Recommend!

This was a perfect stay for our family of 4! The property is amazing, and we enjoyed listening to the sounds of the creek both while sitting around the campfire, and also while sitting outside on the screened-in deck. The house was very clean, and plenty of bedrooms to spread out! We very much appreciated the supply of coffee and fixings, as well condiments in the fridge. This was a fantastic stay, and would welcome the chance to come back on our next trip to Virginia!!

We really enjoyed our quick getaway to the mountains. My kids were so sad when it was time to leave. It was nice to disconnect from home and enjoy the outdoors. It was amazing to have a place that my mother could enjoy as well as she does have some mobility issues. This house had everything we needed!

Beautiful and well furnished home! Maryam was a great communicator before and during our stay. We loved feeling like we were in the country while being a short distance from restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We especially loved sitting on the screened porch in the mornings and evenings. We will be back!

Sisters Trip

Three sisters had a very pleasant stay at this property. The location was perfect right outside of town with mountain views, along the long gravel driveway. The home was very cute inside, airy, and the rear screened porch was divine. The bedrooms were clean and comfy. We were hoping for some open views, and the outside firepit area may need a little updating. Live TV was very limited so we played games, watched Netflix, and had lively conversations! We all enjoyed our stay in Staunton, it's a great place to visit!

Family Christmas

We found this property when looking for a place to spend Christmas close to family. The pictures are beautiful but don't come close to doing the property justice in person! The house was well stocked with cookware/utensils and was perfect for us to host our family holiday dinner. The property owner was wonderful and answered my multiple questions about what was on hand prior to our arrival, and even went the extra mile of putting up a Christmas tree and decorations for us - what a nice surprise on our arrival! Would highly recommend not only the property, but also our very gracious and professional host :) We will definitely be staying again the next time we are in the area.

Beautiful Cabin

Cabin was beautiful and in a great location...seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere, but really only 10 minutes or so from everything. I would suggest two improvements...maybe a flag or reflector out by the road to indicate where to turn in. Returning at night is hard, until you get to know the area, then it's still a little hard. A handrail is severely needed for walking down to the creek/fire pit area, for the safety of older guests! ^_^

We came in town for a wedding and knew we didn’t want to stay at a hotel. We came across this cabin and booked immediately! The house was very clean and we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch! Before we left, we explored the stream on the property and talked about how we’d love to.stay again!
