Beautiful location and beautiful cabin complete with furry friends
Upon arrival we were not sure there wasn’t someone else still staying there. There were open containers of food (chips) and a messy jar of pb in the cabinet, toenail clippings were on the bottom section of the coffee table, towels were scattered throughout, and the beds were not neatly made. The unfinished bedroom downstairs in the basement was unusable because of the horrible musty smell. No one wanted to sleep down there. We stopped to buy groceries prior to settling in at the cabin and noticed the next day that our Oreo package had been knawed through and several cookies had been nibbled on. We also killed several insects mainly spiders and wood roaches. Upon inspection we discovered evidence of mice in the kitchen cabinet. After buying several sticky mouse trap pads and setting them out before bed we successively caught three mice three nights in a row. Unless you especially enjoy being awakened in the middle of the night to squeaky rodents furiously trying to unstick themselves from sticky pads, I’d find another place to stay.
Older cabin in need of a thorough cleaning
Pros: Owner was responsive and curteous. Also the kitchen and the supplies were well stocked.
Cons: As mentioned, the place needs to be taken off line and thoroughly cleaned.
The pillows need to be replaced; they and the sheets down in the unfinished basement stink badly. The rugs are dirty. I suspect the carpet in the basement is likely mildewed. That happens in unfinished basements.
If it were mine I'd rip all of the carpet out and finish the basement and put laminate in, then put new area rugs in it that can be replaced.
Both of the air conditioners are filthy. I had to clean the filter up in the loft, but it needs a good cleaning. The hardwood floors need to be cleaned.
I live in a wooded area and know the challenges of keeping cabins up. Just telling it like it is.
Restful!
It was very secluded and beautiful and quiet. Just what we needed during a hectic wedding week.
Great cabin for Christmas!
We had a great experience spending Christmas at the cabin. The owners even had Christmas decorations set out! My husband and adult son and I enjoyed a great 6 night stay. The hike to the river was not too long, but very enjoyable. The kitchen is well-stocked and we cooked many meals while we were there. It is very convenient to Lynchburg, yet secluded at the same time. The Corner Market nearby had everything we needed to make our meals. We took a day trip to Monticello which was fun. We had a very memorable trip!
Relaxing fun getaway
Enjoying nature is one of our favorite things to do! The front and back porches are amazing and allow so much time to just sit and listen to nature in all of its glory! The fire pit is a blast too!!
Great cabin!!
We loved this place! It’s about :20 from Lynchburg and :30 from Liberty U. Beautiful drive through the country to get there. The owners were super responsive to questions as well. Very clean property! Will def stay again!
