Property Description
Cozy (yet spacious 2400sqft) and peaceful well-built three-bedroom log cabin with panoramic Blue Ridge mountain views about halfway between Lynchburg and Charlottesville, Virginia guarantees tranquility away from city noise. Enter the upper level from the front porch, that includes a double rocker, two rocking chairs, and a large hammock, to the spacious open living area with a wood burning stove, ample kitchen with island (seats two) and separate dining area that seats six comfortably. The French doors open onto the 200 sq. ft. deck with seating for six and beautiful forest & mountain views. The warm motif of this log cabin continues throughout the two roomy upstairs bedrooms and the third bedroom downstairs. The great room is host to a large wood stove, furnished with a queen-size sleeper sofa, 50" plasma tv, and game table that offers your choice of cards, checkers, chess or backgammon. Yoga mats, blocks, straps, and jump rope are available. This cloistered gem is less than 30 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, VA, 35 min to Wintergreen Resort, and close to renowned VA wineries (see Monticello wine trail in photos), breweries, distilleries, and the breathtaking hiking trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Shenandoah Valley and Appalachian Trail are within a short drive.

Hi Michael,
We had an absolutely amazing time at your beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at peace. The house was spotless, cozy, and perfectly situated for everything we wanted to do. My family loved exploring the local wineries, distilleries, breweries, hiking trails, waterfalls, and restaurants — there was never a dull moment!
But what truly made this trip special was the serenity of the home itself. Waking up each morning to nothing but peace and quiet was a gift. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge between our adventures.
We were in town for my son's graduation from Liberty University, which was nothing short of spectacular. Having such a wonderful place to come back to each day made the entire experience even more memorable.
We did have issues with VRBO and/or Expedia as well, so it's not just you. Thank you for sharing your space with us — we hope to return again soon!

Beautiful secluded cabin. Well equipped kitchen. Perfectly furnished, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms. We enjoyed the peace and quiet as well as the wildlife and stargazing. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. We stayed over the Christmas week and the Christmas tree and decorations were a nice surprise. A+ we highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and in such a great location. A little bit remote - but still close enough to all of the breweries and wineries we wanted to visit! Everything was clean and the place felt very cozy! It is also extremely well stocked with kitchen supplies. We brought a lot of our own, but the cabin had everything we didn’t bring! There is tons of space inside the cabin and the host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Fantastic cabin tucked away on a mountain, felt right at home with our two young children. The host Michael was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. Pictures don’t do this place justice, very spacious and beautiful. GREAT PRICE!
"We were seeking an escape to the mountains for our family during spring break. Michael’s cabin exceeded our expectations. It was private, had amazing views, and provided us with every modern day accommodation. It was a little far to get to with a long, windy, narrow driveway but we were close to everything we wanted to experience. The surrounding land is very steep and must be explored carefully, but my son loved the little pond on the property. We only reached out once and Michael was immediately responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and stay!"

Wonderful Place
Family was in town for a baseball tournament. Was a great quiet place that was clean and well maintained. Pond was fun to fish in. Lots of nice areas to hang out outside or inside. Would definitely come back!

Sancuary
Wife and I were looking for a place away from the hustle that comes with NOVA normally, and especially the weekend of the inauguration. I must say we found the absolute best spot. Nelson county has always been a favorite spot for us to go to, but most of the time we have made day trips. I absolutely love being able to post up for a weekend in a quiet setting and being able to relax. Even the pup enjoys the quiet and are keen to relax next to the stoves. Most places just leave it up to you to make it up to the property, but the drive way was cleared before our arrival. Most places either require you to bring your own wood, or purchase wood from them, the cabin already had bundles next to the stoves and instructions on where to find more. My wife and I were able to enjoy the entire day of frozen rain and sleet indoors where we just sat around the stove and kept warm. Of course the pantry was fully stocked of coffee to enjoy next to that lite stove. Of course after the warmth and ambiance of the stove, you'll get plenty of rest in the comfortable beds. There is a TV with connections and apps for all your keeping contact with the outside world, so I stayed away from that room. I was there to not hear about what was going on, and that was what I meant to do. I absolutely plan to come back to this cabin, and I'm hoping to bring friends along with me during one or more of those trips.Kalvin

Perfect quiet getaway
The cabin was so clean and comfortable and we were immediately at ease. We arrived at dark in a really thick fog, but were so pleasantly surprised at the incredible view when we woke up the next morning. The woodsy mountain surroundings were exactly what we needed to take a real “break” from work and life. The two wood burning stoves added so much cozy comfort and the coffeemaker(s) appease both Keurig and Nespresso lovers. The milk frother was a lovely indulgence! The 3 bedroom home was more than perfect for our little family of three but it would have comfortably accommodated 6 and even 8 with the pull out couch. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen (pots, pans, cling wrap, parchment paper, storage containers, wine glasses… even ingredients we normally bring despite needing such a small amount of, such as flour, sugar, herbs/spices, but all were available if we had needed them.) The owners have put so much into added personal touches right down to the art and photography on the walls. We felt right at home and would love to return someday. Michael and Antoinette were incredibly hospitable and clearly love hosting others in their beautiful home. 11 out of 10 stars, don’t hesitate!

Peaceful Getaway
Our stay at the cabin was so relaxing and quiet. We enjoyed the porch swing and hammock. The cabin was clean, with plenty of towels, and linens. My husband and son enjoyed fishing at the pond and caught a few bass. We will stay again in the future!

Relaxing and beautiful stay
Four of us wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia and spend some quality time together as mother-daughter duos. The cabin is remote enough to offer the quiet and serenity we needed but close enough to wineries and quaint shopping. The cabin is beautiful and offered almost everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and would return.

The Cabin in the Woods
Unlike the movie, there was no strangeness here, just a cozy little cabin (not that little at all) in the mountains. Our stay was three 45+ gamer geeks just wanting some respite from our wives and kids. This place was perfect. The Internet speed let us all play online games without issues. The amenities were great, there were enough dishes so we didn't have to worry about sharing plates, and they had this really cool weather station device so we could see what was going on outside. All in all, I highly recommend this place. Not only is the place wonderful but the owners were equally wonderful to work with. 10/10 would recommend!
