Super location for hiking

Lovely, secluded cabin very close to multiple trailheads. Trout pond has a waterfall and it is so peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the water and look into the forest. Interior is nicely furnished and comfortable.

We had a great time at the cabin. The kids enjoyed feeding the trout and running up and down the path. The home was well stocked with essentials and was incredibly cozy. We would absolutely stay there again, especially this time of year.

The location was great for privacy and being out in nature without hearing cars - only the sounds of the trout splashing (feeding them was a highlight), and tall trees with fireflies lighting up the forest at night. The cabin was very modern and comfortable, with a full clean kitchen and air conditioning. It was the perfect place to stay while exploring trails along the AT in summertime.

Triple Crown Cabin

Beautiful cabin with amazing attention to detail. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Very peaceful location to unwind, relax, and recharge. No better spot if hiking in the area and need a place to stay for the Triple Crown. Great experience and plan to return.

Wonderful seclusion!!

We loved the log cabin in the woods. Although we had plans to explore the area, instead we chose to stay on the property and simply enjoy the awesome porch swing!! Peaceful, relaxing and secluded. Also loved feeding the trout.

Great house, perfect location

Our family of four stayed here to hike the triple crown. It’s just the right size and the kids didn’t even have to share a bed! We thought the bathroom could only be accessed from the master bedroom but it actually has another door from the kitchen area so that was great!

Catawba cabin

Very nice cozy cabin, close to AT and trails, 30 minutes to Roanoke. Nicely appointed with kitchen items, seating etc. Driveway is steep and gravel with some concrete for traction at sharp turn and ok after a trip up and down but more of a challenge in the dark. Secluded and quiet and a great place to relax. Bring binoculars if you’re into birds, saw scarlet tanagers, ovenbirds, pileated woodpeckers +

Peaceful and quiet cabin

Cool cabin, peaceful and quiet. Very basic items were provided. Bring your own kitchen and bath items, like baking dish, spices, cooking oil, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc. Washer and dryer in the bathroom was convenient. You have to hand wash dishes since no dishwasher. Trout in the pond are used to being fed with fish food rather than hunting for natural food. Lol. Saw couple turkeys and couple deer around the pond. Lots of birds and squirrels.

Girls trip and hiking McAfee Knob

Four friends stayed in this perfect cabin. Outside, it was so serene and breathtaking with the leaves changing color. Inside, it was warm, cozy and super clean. We enjoyed our night away and then drove an easy 10 minutes to the parking lot at McAfee Knob trailhead for the sunrise. Highly recommend the cabin and the hike! Ronnie, the owner, was wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for having us Ronnie! Would love to bring my family here sometime soon.

The property is 100% accurate as advertised. Beautiful cabin in a quiet, peaceful setting. Perfect for a getaway to leave everything behind. Awesome front porch overlooking the trout pond. Everything at the property is new and fully functional. Our host was available to answer any questions. Response time was almost immediate. Hoping to go back again.

Near Perfect Place for our Getaway

Beautiful, new, well kept cabin in secluded area near our hiking locations. Met all of our needs for a quiet getaway. Ronnie was very responsive and timely to our text requests. Trout pond was an interesting and unexpected experience. Truly loved the cabin... kitchen facilities, outdoor porch swing, shower, sleeping arrangements, family room were all great. Nice loft, although we didn't use it. Very comfortable with A/C and ceiling fans. We definitely recommend this cabin for those looking for a quiet, secluded, getaway from the hustle and bustle, experience.

Slice of Heaven

We rented this little cabin to day hike the thr triple crown in Virginia. This is the perfect spot, literally so close to all 3 trailheads ! The hikes were absolutely stunning. The Cabin is small but actually feels big enuff to do anything and actually is super roomy. I love the flooring and the kitchen table. We did a 1000 piece puzzle on that as well Ronnie and Ashley were super helpful when I reached out with a few questions. Book the cabin you won’t be disappointed. We also fed the trout. Super cool to watch them. I hope to someday return to do more hiking on the AT

More thorough description needed

The driveway is VERY steep, long, and all gravel. Video surveillance of front of property including porch and trout pond via the Ring doorbell. Extremely isolated location with limited-no cell service and far drive to get food. Customer satisfaction does not appear to be a priority.
