Notes
- This is truly a sweet getaway, Neighbors are out of sight and there is a trail down the hill to the river. it is a good hill down, but fishing options are right there on the bank for you. Monican Park is a beautiful recreational area about 3/4 mile upstream and a 4 minute drive away where you can launch a boat or canoe. Rustic Getaway. Currently there is NO internet or TV but decent cell phone service so a tablet or mobile wireless device should have service. Especially Verizon's signal is strong there.

Why Karl Miller chose Madison Heights
This is the perfect getaway spot! Comfortable with a complete kitchen and fully furnished with cookware, linens and towels. Nice furniture and a bathroom is on every level! Property is so conveniently located to town if you have family, events, or attractions on your To Do list while in the area. Fine Local restaurants are just 15 minutes away in either Downtown Lynchburg, or in the town of Amherst about a 20 minute drive away. National Forests Recreational Opportunities are endless and this house is right in the foothills off RT 130. almost in the shadow of Tobacco Row Mtn. If you want to fish in the river, a short hike down the trail offers great fishing off the bank or dock. Another option is to bring your boat and launch free at the Monacan Park Ramp just a 4 minute drive away! There is room to park a trailer here too.
What makes this Cabin unique
This home is a bit Rustic, but very Comfortable. full length covered porches both on the front offer relaxing rocking chairs while the back porch has a porch swing and plenty of chairs that overlooks the trees and slope that showcases wintertime river views. A New gas Grill and New Gas range are easy to cook with. There is a fairly strong cell signal here and there is a 39' Hi-def TV complete with Dish-network service. Wi-FI Internet is also connected, on satellite service so it's suitable for email, social media, etc, but slow for gaming or streaming movies due to slower speed and limited data. Some guests Bring cell serviced 'hotspot' tablet or phone and Verizon has a fairly good signal here to stream with. This home is most suitable unplug, unwind, enjoy nature (deer frequently are seen daily here), and the River.
