Blue Ridge Cabin 5

KatieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Spent New Year's with my husband and two Yorkies nestled deep in the woods, and it was everything I hoped for—and more! The property is surrounded by towering trees, offering a sense of tranquility and seclusion that's hard to come by. The bed deserves a special mention— it was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! We spent all three days hiking some of the best trails and relaxed comfortably watching TV in the evenings with a nice glass of Malbec. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort, this Airbnb is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be returning! Thank you Jerry and Chris.

This was a beautiful home for our peaceful getaway. Check in was easy, we found plenty to do, and the views from the deck were amazing especially from the hot tub. Would definitely recommend.

KristenRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Adorable place, super conveniently located. We were in town to hike for the weekend. Host had great recommendations. Also - I feel like the last string of places I have rented the beds and sofas needed to be refurbished. Everything was super comfortable. The bed was great. The sofa was great. Very clean. Absolutely already checking dates for another weekend.

Tall trees with bare branches border a serene creek, their shadows stretching across a grassy area. The water flows gently, reflecting the sky above. A carpet of fallen leaves adds texture to the ground, indicating the seasonal changes in the landscape.

Cozy Creekside 2-bedroom home.

Laura AshleyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The place was very clean and perfect for us — 2 couples and a couple of small dogs. We came to town to enjoy some skiing at wintergreen and found the location convenient for access to the resort at a very fair price. It was a very cold weekend so we didn’t get much opportunity to enjoy the outdoor patio or fire pit but we enjoyed the view of the beautiful creek.
