Stephen's thoughtfully cared-for and well-appointed home was a dream getaway from "city" life! Although it was a bit more secluded than I anticipated, I felt very safe. I appreciated the deadbolts on both the main and deck doors, and the elevated deck allowed me to safely enjoy the visiting wildlife. I was actually hoping to see a bear. :) The creek is wide and lovely, and I enjoyed hunting for heart-shaped rock treasures. Stephen was very responsive, accommodating, and helpful throughout my stay. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return! If you're looking for an easy 3-4hr adventure, drive north to Roaring Run Falls and Furnace. The hike is easy and the cascading river and waterfalls are stunning. Then continue on to Falling Spring Falls. There is an area to park and walk to one of the most beautiful views in Virginia!
