Cabins in Virginia

Tiny Tree House
Highly recommend staying in one of Megan’s listings. The home was well stocked with all of the essentials and little note boards with helpful instructions. We also received a few eggs from her hen house to make a delicious breakfast. Very clean with an awesome mountain getaway vibe. STAY HERE!

Serenity by the Stream
Serenity was beautiful! We had a great time enjoying the sound of the water whenever we opened a window. Walked around the property and really felt the peacefulness of the area. Would definitely come back.

The Wizard's Chalet • Cozy nature escape • Hot Tub
I cannot say enough about how special The Wizards Chalet was for us on our honeymoon. My husband and I both love the outdoors so much and appreciate our privacy and this was the perfect place for us. Our absolute favorite part was spending time out on the back deck and cooking dinners together in the beautiful kitchen. In between our adventures, we found so much peace in the drives and scenery but honestly we honestly felt like we were home the entire time. Marianna was so friendly and responsive from the moment we booked and after we left, would 100% recommend her as a host and The Wizards Chalet for a getaway. Looking forward to returning in the future for more adventures!

Little Cabin in the Woods is quiet and secluded!
This is THE sweetest little cabin surrounded by nature! We loved our stay at Melody's special place🌸🌿🐛🍄🦋🌞 We had the most amazing weather and walked all of the paths we could find. Unfortunately, recent rain water has washed away any hint of The Stream of Consciousness and we didn't feel safe walking through the mud and huge amount of leaves because of snakes and other creatures that were probably making their home in the piles. The meadow during the day was alive with butterflies and other insects and at night we saw the FULL Strawberry Moon and hundreds on Fireflies! I was suprised at the small dorm refrigerator and half a stove. Don't bring alot of food or you won't be able to keep it cold! Other than that, this was one of our favorite places to stay to date! Melody was a kind, friendly host and provided everything that you could possibly need 🩷 The small touches of love in the decor definitely showed how loved this tiny cabin is! We were SO cozy and comfy in this Airbnb! J&M

Cozy and Private Riverfront Cabin on 50 Acres
The perfect getaway for us and our two pups. A great location to get away, disconnect, and relax. Peaceful, secluded, gorgeous surroundings. No noise except the nature all around you. The cabin itself has everything you need to feel right at home. As well-appointed inside as it is rustic on the outside. Comfy, cozy, and clean. Can't wait to come back!

Water view~30 mins to SNP!~Hot tub ~ upscale ~ RV
It was amazing! Clean, quiet, very well decorated and comfortable, and just what I needed for a relaxing stay. The host was genuine and patient and made things very easy. The town is small, quaint and the people are very friendly. I hope to visit again!

Forest Cabin Retreat | Hot Tub & Creekside
This cabin is amazing. As soon as we walked in we were in love, and I said multiple times over the few days we were here that I wished I could live here. It is beautifully decorated with a nice mix of retro and modern. Kaitlin was amazing before our stay and gave us lots of ideas on things to do, which we did a lot of! She answered questions we had during our stay as well. She really did think of everything and put a lot of thought into creating this space and making sure it had everything we needed while we were there. 100% recommend Kaitlin and her cabin to anyone. We will definitely be back!!

Secluded Blue Ridge Mountaintop Getaway
What a view, so private and secluded. Very cozy, we enjoyed our stay very much. If you are in Virginia and want a view and privacy this is the place!! Definitely coming back again soon. Excellent host.
Treehouse rentals in Virginia

Treehouse-Hike/Golf/Wineries/WiFi/1m. Bryce Resort
This place was exactly as pictured. Loved the unique structure, the kids loved the loft, and the wrap around porch was very peaceful. Karen was very responsive to any questions before, during and upon departure of our stay. We visited Luray caverns, Shenandoah national Park, Lake Laura and some local breweries during our stay. Overall a great place that I would recommend to others!

CloudPointe Retreat
This place was awesome the views are incredible and the privacy was like nowhere else. As long as you have 4wd and don’t mind some steps this is a perfect place for couples. Everything was clean and exactly as described. Kevin was even proactive in letting us know the power had went out before we got there and then immediately let us know it was back on. This place really is a hidden gem and you are within 15-30 minutes of restaurants and shopping. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future.

Treehouse at Castle
Lovely, peaceful place!

Massanutten Rustic Cabin with Views
We loved our stay here. The cabin is so nice, you really don't need to go anywhere to enjoy your stay. There is plenty to do nearby from hiking to visiting Luray, but we mostly hunkered down on this trip. You are really tucked away in the canopy of the trees with a spectacular view of the valley. Rodrigo gives clear instructions on the cabin and its many useful appliances. I think our favorite part was the birds who come to visit the feeders on the deck. Some of the birds we saw: downy woodpecker, tufted titmouse, cardinal, white-breasted nuthatch, goldfinch, purple finch, yellow bellied sapsucker, blue jay, mourning dove, red bellied woodpecker, ruby throated hummingbird, and black capped chickadee. There was also an Eastern chipmunk and an Eastern grey squirrel who visited to clean up the leftovers from the birds. Great spot and great host!

Romantic Secluded Treehouse Stay in the Sky
Everything you’d expect out of a treehouse getaway. It was secluded, it was quiet, it was beautiful with plenty of outdoor space for your pups to roam if you’re bringing them along. It was close to everything we had on the itinerary without being TOO close to the hustle and bustle of the surrounding towns. The hosts were the most responsive we’ve ever had and very accommodating. If need be, they’re there within minutes. Despite it being a treehouse in what felt like the middle of nowhere, the treehouse was clean and equipped with all the essentials. The space was used very well and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful.

Delightful one bedroom treehouse with king bed
Second time we have stayed here. The farm is relaxing and the treehouse was very nice. Enjoyed the outside space also. Will definitely stay again.

Trailside Treehouse - Riverside in Richmond, VA
This place was so cute and the owners were so nice! Our dog had a wonderful time rambling around their property and the bed was remarkably comfy.

Romantic Treehouse for 2 (No Kids) in Farm
The treehouse was perfect! Maria was really nice and responsive, giving us helpful and clear instructions for getting to the place. The treehouse is tucked away on the property for privacy. The bathroom is a cool addition to the treehouse, although be prepared for a cold shower (probably perfect for the hot summer days). Enjoyed meeting the alpacas and goats. Perfect getaway for one night!

StreamSide Guesthouse in Mountains/National Forest
It was a great experience and such a nice place to relax. The little stream was fun to walk by and the house was clean and easier to find when we arrived.

John Pope Cabin Browntown Va. We now have Starlink
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! This property was incredible, so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin itself is very cool and in great condition albeit rustic. The only shower is an outdoor shower, which was warm and serene. That’s the kind of unique quirk of rental that makes the experience extra memorable. There are tons of sitting areas outside from the swing on the covered porch to the area around the sunken fire pit, all which overlook the large field on the property and the horse field at the adjacent property. Another perk was that it was dog-friendly as we had our two dogs with us, who loved the property as well. Overall, such a great experience at Judith’s place and I recommend to anyone coming into the area who is looking to disconnect and relax!

Loft Cabin *HotTub* WiFi*Firepit*Deck
Highly recommend this spot! If you're looking for a chill place to relax with a friend, this is it. It feels like your own private hangout, almost like a treehouse vibe, but in a cozy cabin. Super peaceful, comfortable, and perfect for just unwinding or catching up. We had an awesome time here and would definitely come back. If you want something low-key, personal, and memorable, this is the place.

The Alton Cottage -a luxury country retreat
One of the best stays we had! Beautiful, peaceful, charming cabin with amazing views of the local farm Few minutes away from the town with cute restaurants and stores and lots of hiking paths nearby. It was a perfect gateway for two of us, definitely worth the 12hrs drive from Illinois!

Afton, Mountain View Mini Farm
Shelley’s mini farm is a special place with incredible views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property and would love to come back someday. The cottage was perfect with nice sized bedrooms with great views and comfortable beds. We enjoyed getting to spend some time speaking with Shelley and meeting her horses, cattle dog - Roadie and the farm cats! Also, seeing all the fireflies in the pasture was a nice surprise. I highly recommend this peaceful location with close proximity to several great breweries and wineries in the area!

JP's Waterfront Yurt with Heating, Cooling & Wifi
We loved this spot. So many water spots to play in within walking distance of the yurt. If you aren’t familiar with cooking on induction stovetops it can be challenging. Lots of frustration with that but we will just bring our small blackstone next time to cook outside. Love this place and will be back again!

Dinwiddie Couples Getaway- Wells Cabin @WeldanPond
We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and we had a wonderful stay at Wells Cabin! The location was perfect and had all the amenities that we needed. Weddings are stressful and the peaceful atmosphere was needed and appreciated!! Would highly recommend.

$75 (Sun-Thur 1 nights) $125 (Fri-Sat) Pets.
The Hobbit House was the perfect getaway! Everything was as described and more. The bathroom was super clean, the bed cozy and the location wonderful! I enjoyed the animals…they made me smile. Angela was an attentive host. This was a fantastic solo getaway!
Your guide to Virginia
Welcome to Virginia
Colonial American history began in Jamestown, when Brits successfully settled on an inlet off Chesapeake Bay, the country’s largest estuary. It went on to play key roles in the Revolutionary and Civil wars, along with the Civil Rights movement and 9/11 attacks. Sites like Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the living history museum of Colonial Williamsburg, and the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail are good starting points for history buffs exploring Virginia. But the state’s allure extends far beyond its past, political power, and ties to U.S. presidents. Conservation has preserved much of its wilderness, which ranges from sandy Atlantic beaches to marshes, pine forests, and national parks like Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Today Virginia balances the folksy traditions of the Appalachian Mountains with the dynamism of the mid-Atlantic region. Expect Southern hospitality, but also hip culture in cities like Richmond and Norfolk.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Virginia
Virginia stretches from the sea to the mountains, creating many different climate regions. Generally speaking, expect the hilly areas to be roughly 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the coast. Spring hits the sweet spot for the best time to rent a cabin, with relatively warm temperatures and sparse crowds. Its blooms and balmy weather peak in May, while summer brings serious heat and sticky humidity, but also more tourists. Look to autumn for warm days, cool nights, and extravagant fall foliage in mid-to-late October. Winter tends to be cold and gray. Events-wise, spring ushers in the month-long Virginia Arts Festival, which includes a celebration of military music. The Fourth of July is big pretty much everywhere and September sees the ten-day state fair in Richmond. Search for Bigfoot — called Woodbooger locally — or hit the Richmond Folk Festival in early October.
Top things to do in Virginia
Appalachian National Scenic Trail
This 2,180-mile public path stretches from Georgia to Maine, but Virginia boasts more ground than any other state. In fact, nearly a quarter of the trail’s length — 555 miles — lies in the commonwealth. Day hikers should look to stretches in Shenandoah National Park, where climbs rarely exceed 1,000 feet.
The Ghost Fleet of Kiptopeke
Nine partially sunken ships made of concrete form an offshore breakwater at Kiptopeke State Park. Steel remained in short supply after WWII, so a shipyard in Tampa, Florida, produced 24 of these hauntingly beautiful beasts. The fishing pier offers good views, but kayak out for a close-up peek at the birds and dolphins attracted to the intentional wrecks.
Luray Caverns
Set within Shenandoah National Park, the largest cave system in the eastern United States includes cathedral-sized rooms with skyscraper-high ceilings. Expect vast columns, translucent drapes of calcite, and gin-clear pools mirroring fantastical stone formations at this National Natural Landmark. The space even rocks out with the Great Stalacpipe Organ, the world’s largest musical instrument. The keyboard vibrates stalactites across three acres of caves.
