The Rustic Old Dam Cabin
Take a trip back in time with all things rustic "The Old Dam Cabin" is an acknowledgment of its location, and if Cozy had a picture in the dictionary, the Old Dam Cabin would be looking back at you with a big grin. Though this is Lydia's most rustic cabin we offer, it has a special place in our hearts for all the history it holds having been built in the early 1800s. Lydia has kept this property true to its roots.
The Old Damn is located just off Route 33. This rustic cabin is perfect for families looking to reconnect and let us not forget our seasonal SipShack Icecream Shop, a public pavilion overlooking the pond, a play set with a sliding board, and even an off-leash dog park are within walking distance.
The Old Dam Cabin has a private hot tub to help you wind down and relax after a day of hiking in the National Park or simply chasing the kiddos and pets around! Enter the front door from the large front porch to the living room which is equipped with the original wood-burning fireplace. The living room located on the main floor has a futon for extra sleeping options while the studio-style full bedroom is located upstairs with two built-in twin beds. There is one full bathroom
on the main floor with a tub/shower unit. The rustic kitchen also located on the main floor has a refrigerator, microwave, and stove, and is stocked with plates, glasses, cutlery, baking dishes, pots, pans, and of course, a coffee pot!
So, come relax and take it easy in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Old Dam Cabin - you are going to love it!
