Super location for hiking

Lovely, secluded cabin very close to multiple trailheads. Trout pond has a waterfall and it is so peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the water and look into the forest. Interior is nicely furnished and comfortable.

Peaceful and quiet cabin

Cool cabin, peaceful and quiet. Very basic items were provided. Bring your own kitchen and bath items, like baking dish, spices, cooking oil, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc. Washer and dryer in the bathroom was convenient. You have to hand wash dishes since no dishwasher. Trout in the pond are used to being fed with fish food rather than hunting for natural food. Lol. Saw couple turkeys and couple deer around the pond. Lots of birds and squirrels.

We had a great time at the cabin. The kids enjoyed feeding the trout and running up and down the path. The home was well stocked with essentials and was incredibly cozy. We would absolutely stay there again, especially this time of year.

The location was great for privacy and being out in nature without hearing cars - only the sounds of the trout splashing (feeding them was a highlight), and tall trees with fireflies lighting up the forest at night. The cabin was very modern and comfortable, with a full clean kitchen and air conditioning. It was the perfect place to stay while exploring trails along the AT in summertime.

Catawba cabin

Very nice cozy cabin, close to AT and trails, 30 minutes to Roanoke. Nicely appointed with kitchen items, seating etc. Driveway is steep and gravel with some concrete for traction at sharp turn and ok after a trip up and down but more of a challenge in the dark. Secluded and quiet and a great place to relax. Bring binoculars if you’re into birds, saw scarlet tanagers, ovenbirds, pileated woodpeckers +

Girls trip and hiking McAfee Knob

Four friends stayed in this perfect cabin. Outside, it was so serene and breathtaking with the leaves changing color. Inside, it was warm, cozy and super clean. We enjoyed our night away and then drove an easy 10 minutes to the parking lot at McAfee Knob trailhead for the sunrise. Highly recommend the cabin and the hike! Ronnie, the owner, was wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for having us Ronnie! Would love to bring my family here sometime soon.

Beautiful setting

This venue was beautiful. Isolated. Quiet. No neighbors that we ever saw/heard. Just to be aware. The driveway was gravel and just over a half mile, erosion has had its impact. Some vehicles may have trouble with significant rainfall. I can guarantee that between att and verizon you’ll have no service for the last several miles of the drive into this location. So be ready with your screenshots of how to access the home. It is quiet and beautiful. An incredible location and setting for a peaceful getaway. Surrounded by tulip poplars and oaks. We did not see the rolling hills of the mountains due to tree and foliage cover, but don’t be deterred. This peaceful retreat was everything I wanted for a fall weekend away. A beautiful porch, fridge with freezer and ice maker, slab island and concrete countertops. Large sink and electric oven we were able to cook everything we needed. Just don’t expect ex t a super close drive to eat out and a. Nearby grocery (15+ minutes) so come prepared. We were missing some essentials. Only one roll of toilet paper, no shampoo/conditioner/body wash/ seasonings/oils. Fortunately we brought all of those on our own. If you’re so inclined they did not provide any active tv service (but on a college football weekend) we had significant issues even accessing our own account. The hose was super responsive though and helped navigate the issue. I’d suggest bringing your own means to watch (firestick or similar.) I would without question come back here!

Slice of Heaven

We rented this little cabin to day hike the thr triple crown in Virginia. This is the perfect spot, literally so close to all 3 trailheads ! The hikes were absolutely stunning. The Cabin is small but actually feels big enuff to do anything and actually is super roomy. I love the flooring and the kitchen table. We did a 1000 piece puzzle on that as well Ronnie and Ashley were super helpful when I reached out with a few questions. Book the cabin you won’t be disappointed. We also fed the trout. Super cool to watch them. I hope to someday return to do more hiking on the AT

Near Perfect Place for our Getaway

Beautiful, new, well kept cabin in secluded area near our hiking locations. Met all of our needs for a quiet getaway. Ronnie was very responsive and timely to our text requests. Trout pond was an interesting and unexpected experience. Truly loved the cabin... kitchen facilities, outdoor porch swing, shower, sleeping arrangements, family room were all great. Nice loft, although we didn't use it. Very comfortable with A/C and ceiling fans. We definitely recommend this cabin for those looking for a quiet, secluded, getaway from the hustle and bustle, experience.

The driveway is VERY steep, long, and all gravel. Video surveillance of front of property including porch and trout pond via the Ring doorbell. Extremely isolated location with limited-no cell service and far drive to get food. Customer satisfaction does not appear to be a priority.
