Whimsical Creekside Cabin

Escape to our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Fall asleep to sounds of Little Mary’s Creek, enjoy your coffee on the wrap around deck, or delight in exploring your own 7 acres in the forest. Our cabin is a cheerful, clean cottage to come home to- or decide to spend your days on property splashing in the creek and sitting out by the fire pit.

The space
Our cozy cabin is a new build that celebrates our relationships and planting roots in Virginia.

It comfortably sleeps 4 with a queen bed on the main level and 2 single beds in the loft. We are happy to accommodate a 5th guest on a trundle bed in the loft for an additional fee. Please note that the loft is accessed by a mounted ladder with a safety railing, which may not be suitable for all guests.

The eat in kitchen is fully stocked to prepare all of your meals. We provide organic coffee and teas, sugar, creamer, olive oil, salt and pepper. The bathroom features EWG certified clean shampoo conditioner and local artisan soap.

Unplug, explore, read from a carefully curated selection of books, or play a number of favorite games. Turn on the tv upstairs or the portable DVD downstairs to enjoy a variety of movies.

Our cabin is on the side of the mountain with some steep terrain and lots of natural elements outside to discover. The creek is a fun place to splash and explore.

Cell phone service is very limited.

There is no Internet at this time.

Note that in all of the beauty and serenity of nature, there can be dangers. Please be aware of your surroundings- and remember that we share this amazing property with insects, plants, and animals that are native to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The cabin was absolutely perfect! Just the right size, beautifully and comfortably appointed, and perfectly clean. I appreciated the fact that the kitchen included everything we needed since we did some cooking while we were there. In addition, the cabin was situated in the perfect place: shaded by the trees, next to the creek, and just far enough away from civilization that we felt like we were away from the hustle and bustle of life. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Location!

Everything was just perfect. Alicia provides for every amenity. Even coffee and creamers were provided. The location is beautiful; in a small hollow with a babbling brook you can see close by from the deck.Her recommendations for local attractions, wineries, and restaurants were very helpful.I would highly recommend the creek side cabin to anyone staying in the area.

The pictures don’t do it justice!

This cabin was soooo cute. It was cozy and so peaceful. The creek meanders beautifully just outside and you can hear it from the bedroom. It was very clean and it is a close drive to Crabtree Falls, which was a challenging and gorgeous hike. My spouse and I loved it and will probably book again!

Off-Season Getaway

My kids and I wanted to do something special during our midwinter break from homeschooling, so we booked a cabin. We were so lucky to find this one! It has a creek and is nestled in the woods like something out of a dream. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. We actually had to stay two extra nights due to snow, which worked out fine. Alicia is an excellent host!

Friend trip

Cabin was clean and decorated cute. The creek was so peaceful. Alicia was very easy to communicate with. The only thing I would give a heads up for would be that the stairs to the loft were very steep. Wasn’t a problem for me, but for some people it would be.

We take vacation in October every year and its or unplug, unwind and relax in nature vacation. Your cabin is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. The nights were chilly but we slept so well. Sitting on the deck during the days and listening to the water was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your sweet cabin with us. 😍

Our family absolutely adored this little slice of calm. We brought our 1 and 4 year old and truly got to connect as a family in ways we often aren't able to back in the "real world". No wifi puzzles and DVDs of the Disney classics. Our 4yo loved splashing in the creek just outside and both kids loves roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The cabin has just enough to make our stay comfortable without being overwhelming. Only thing I wish we had brought was a tension gate to slow our 1yo from the stairs but that's 100% on us. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this beautiful home with us.
