Guest access
Free parking at the cabin, The cabin is easily accessible by most cars and we offer parking right outside of the cabin. Our cabins offer the closest parking and access to the Channels.

Other things to note
Step right outside of the front door at The Channels Retreat and you will be greeted by the trail's most heavily used 3 miles that travel to the Great Channels of Virginia.

The Channels are a series of deep sandstone crevices worn into sandstone outcrops on the mountain's summit and form one of Virginia's most fascinating ecosystems.

It is possible to easily walk within the maze-like channels, which harbor an almost cave-like microclimate and often hold snow cover long after temperatures have risen above freezing. Coupled with outstanding views from the top of these outcrops and a fire tower on Middle Knob's summit, this hike forms one of southwest Virginia's most scenic and popular hiking destinations. A couple of hours before your arrival I will send you your door code
