Charming Log Cabin, streams in private yard, 4 bedrooms, pet friendly, WiFi

Enjoy your getaway in a peaceful setting in this unique cabin built in 1840 with built addition, walk-around porch and deck. STARLINK WiFi!! 3 streams surround the property with multiple walkway bridges to access the ample yard. Natural fire-pit with everything you need to enjoy a cozy fire (firewood provided). 4 bedrooms with sleeping space for at least 8 people (Queen bed, bunk beds, 3 futons, full cot). 2 full bathrooms, plus an exercise/yoga/meditation room stocked with free-weights, fitness dvds, mini fridge, and essential oils.

Only a 5 mile drive off the interstate, and nestled between Staunton and Harrisonburg: only 7 miles to Historic Downtown Staunton or about 15 miles to Harrisonburg (home of JMU). Massanutten Resort is only another 10 miles further from Harrisonburg (25 min drive).

Only 500 yards/0.3 mile walk to the access point for the Middle River for fishing, swimming, canoeing, tubing. A few houses are around but you still have privacy due to a big yard and trees surrounding the cabin. The small country road is in front of the cabin, but it is not very busy at all and there is a line of small trees to give shade and privacy to sit on the front porch and enjoy the sounds of nature, birds singing and the bubbling brooks in the back yard.

The space: Enjoy your stay in this peaceful setting. Sit on the front covered porch and listen to the symphony of nature, birds singing and the rain falling on the metal roof. Relax on the back deck overlooking the yard. The sounds of three bubbling brooks flowing from natural springs flow through various parts of the ample yard into the main stream at the back of the property. If you like, you can walk down to the stream and put your feet in, but it can be very chilly certain times of the year! Keep an eye out for the resident Bald Eagle that lives around the area. And in the early hours of dawn and late sunset you may see the friendly visiting deer in the back yard (or sometimes the front!). This cabin is my favorite place to be, whenever I am there I just feel calm and happy. It has all the charm of a rustic cabin in the country but also combined with all the necessities and not too far away from town (4 miles). Unplug your phone and enjoy the peace and comfort of nature surrounding you.

Other things to note: 3 level cabin: Main Level (Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Area): Fully stocked kitchen featuring a big island with 4 stools surrounding, plus a small table in the corner with 2 chairs for another eating area. >Kitchen has a Fridge/freezer, microwave, full stove/oven, toaster, and a Keurig coffee machine fully stocked with k-pods, sugar, sugar substitute, creamer. Propane BBQ grill on the deck (all cooking utensils to for the grills are hanging on the propane bbq grill side panel).

Living room has a small couch, two other cushy seating spots, plus two comfy fold out butterfly chairs perfect for TV watching, TV with a Blu-ray player (large array of DVDs and Blu-ray’s on the shelves), Atari Gold with 120 built in games, 50 in 1 game console with 50 built in games, PAC-Man joystick game, Nintendo DS with a variety of 64 game cartridges, TV with antenna broadcast channels: ABC, CBS, NBC, ION, CW, TrueCrime, Grit, Circle, and a local 24 hour Weather Channel).

Huge selection of board games, card games, jigsaw puzzles, children books and toys. A retro vinyl record player with variety of vinyl records. This stereo unit also has a radio, cd player, and blutooth capability.

A propane fireplace with remote control and a full dining table with 6 chairs plus a long bench for seating surrounding. Back door to the upper deck and wraparound porch.

Upper Level (2 "mini" bedrooms, nook area with Serta-Sleeper twin bed/couch, Full Bathroom, Main Bedroom with Queen & a Serta-Sleeper twin bed/couch): The upstairs 2 "mini" bedrooms are unique polygon shaped rooms, one with twin sized bunk beds and the other with a cot (smaller than a twin bed but big enough for a 5.5 person, I have slept on this cot and it is quite comfy, but if you are very tall, this may not be the best room choice for you). These rooms are small but there is still plenty of room for your bags and provided are luggage racks. Upstairs nook area has a Serta Sleeper Pull-down couch. This is the perfect spot to read a book with ample lighting overhead, or use as a sleeping area: laying down the back cushion it becomes a twin size bed. Upstairs Full Bathroom has a sink, shower/bathtub, toilet, and has a hair dryer in the cabinet below. Heated overhead fan if it gets cold. Upstairs Main Bedroom has Queen Size Bed and another Serta Sleeper Pull-down couch. With this sleeper couch pulled down, the bedroom door will still shut (I made sure!) But you may have to pull the couch out from the wall slightly in order for it to lay down fully. Its very light and placed on furniture movers so its very easy to move.

Walkout Basement (Full Bathroom, Laundry Room, Combo Workout/Yoga/Meditation/Bedroom): Basement Full Bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower. Hair dryer in the wall cabinet. Basement Laundry area has a Washer & Dryer, plus a door to go outside into the yard. 11 lawn chairs and a beach cart if you need to cart things outside for the fire-pit or taking a walk down Bald Rock Road to The Middle River for swimming, tubing, kayaking, fishing...its only a 0.3 mile walk. Basement Combo Workout/Yoga/Mediation/Bedroom has another Serta Sleeper Couch that pulls down to a twin bed. This room also has a full length mirror and workout gear: portable DVD player with a variety of workout videos, Yoga Block, Weighted Bar, hand weights ranging from 1 - 20 lbs. There is a mini-fridge in this room, along with an ionic salt lamp and an essential oil diffuser with an array of essential oils to enjoy.

Pet friendly: ceramic dog/cat bowls provided, small dog/cat bed, doggie treats, rubber Kong toys, and a cat litter box can be provided on request.

***keep in mind, this cabin is not handicapped accessible. It has three levels and no bathrooms or bedrooms are on the main level.

***In summer months there will be window air conditioning units installed in each of the 3 upstairs bedrooms and one in the kitchen on the main level.

Lovely Cabin
We booked this cabin as a stop on our relation to Maine. The cabin was a perfect stop. The property was gorgeous. It housed four adults and three cats nicely. The water pressure was great. The driveway was big enough to park a 26' and a 16 foot moving truck plus a pickup truck with trailer and a car. The host was great about responding to questions and so helpful

Excellent Getaway
We had a blast the one night we got to stay here. Rebecca was always very communicative and we had everything that we needed. The view, amenities, and seclusion were just great. I only make 2 comments on a minor note. The stairs up to bedrooms are open, and that means that our infant could technically crawl through to the ledge downstairs. We used a baby gate to block the staircase and just hung out with her, so it wasn't a problem, but it meant she couldn't crawl freely from living room to kitchen. Very minor. The only other element was that the listing said "Available in the cabin: WiFi" and the guest book stated clearly when we got there that there was no WiFi in the cabin. It was not a deal breaker for us as getaways like this are a great break from being connected, but the host might want to update the page.

This was our second time staying at this neat cabin in the woods. It's going to be our regular overnight stay on our way to the beach. It has all the comforts of home and for a family of our size, cheaper than a hotel - and infinatly more relaxing!

Beautiful cabin and views
My family and I loved the cabin and the gorgeous backyard! The cabin was very comfortable, with lots of movies and a few books, coffee, tea, dishes, a lot of extra bedding and bath towels. The backyard and surrounding area is heavily wooded, so we were able to enjoy listening to the birds and even saw several deer and a black bear. The walk to the river is a very short distance from the cabin; had the weather been warmer, we definitely would've gotten in the water. Overall a great experience, and Rebecca made sure we knew she was available if we needed anything without being obtrusive at all. Would highly recommend!

Delightful Cozy Cabin
The house was very well stocked, even provided items for Smores. The home was comfortable for 5 elderly ladies, being careful on the open stairs. Everything worked as expected, nice large TV for viewing the Derby. Rain kept us from using the fire pit but sitting under the extended front roof was delightful.

Night at the theater
This cabin was an ideal booking for my partner and me to meet up with my parents so we could attend a play together at the American Shakespeare Center. Unfortunately, our stay was too short to properly enjoy all the location had to offer, especially the sweet deck and yard. We did cook and eat dinner and breakfast there together, and the kitchen was great! The only drawback was that the twin beds were not very comfortable for my older parents. It seems this cabin would be perfect for just one pair of intimate adults, with plenty of options for kids or younger adults.

We loved everything about our stay. So many extra touches that made a difference. We had everything we needed. Played games, Atari, used the record player, loved the decor, and had plenty of towels, blankets, kitchenware, etc. Bed were comfortable. My son goes to JMU and we live 4 & 1/2 hours away. We will definitely book this cabin again for our visits. Thank you!

Cabin is both rustic & comfortable. We had dinner & breakfast outside on the second floor deck & a campfire at the firepit. If any of your group has limited mobility, be aware that there are some step ups/step downs inside that coild be a tripping hazard. Steep steps to firepit.

Owner thought of everything!
Anything you’d need has already been put in place. Even pup treats, water/food bowls, pet beds, spring water, LOADS of DVD’s, board games- even a Nintendo Switch. The house is such a unique one- originally built in the 1800’s but an addition, two bathrooms and a/c units. Lots of new fans in every room. Our tiny pups loved the large back yard and the creek. There is a water pump and hose outside for rinsing off paws… just every detail was thought through. We hope to be back!
