Cabin vacation rentals in Amherst County

The home is lovely. The kitchen is well-appointed for making meals at home. The living room is comfortable and well-suited for hanging out. We enjoyed both the hot tub and the pool and the wooded area around the home, gave us the opportunity to see deer and other forms of wildlife. The area is quiet and we felt totally relaxed being at the house. There’s plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. Shawana Lynn and her husband are consummate hosts. They left snack and toiletry baskets, which we found to be very thoughtful and handy since we had forgotten our body wash. They provide plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows so guests can customize their comfort levels. Any issues that came up when we were there were quickly and graciously addressed. The amenities are perfect for a relaxing stay in the mountains. We also really enjoyed the location. It’s a beautiful area with hikes, nature drives, wineries and breweries. We had a blast here and we would totally stay again.

We loved our stay here! Upon arrival we were met with a perfectly clean place alongside free snacks and other amenities. The unique style of the cabin by itself made it a fun stay but combined with how well kept Gretchen had the place and all the fun things to do in the cabin made it an outstanding stay.

We were looking for a cabin, hoping to find a quiet place to rest, relax and recharge in nature. We never dreamed that we would find an authentic 18th century cabin located in the forest on a mountain top - with an excellent view of the surrounding mountains. The inside of the cabin was beautifully furnished as would be expected in colonial Virginia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the experience of stepping back in time.

We had a great stay celebrating our 10 year anniversary and also a birthday. The house has everything you could need and we loved cooking on the grill and loved that the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. The house is the perfect layout for kids and dogs as well and the hot tub felt amazing after we hiked Crabtree Falls. The proximity to town and the local pie shop was perfect. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to come stay again.

Great place to stay. Very private and quiet. Meticulously maintained and everything was thought of from coffee selection to the extras. WiFi fast. Might have been me but would have like to be able to log into my own Netflix account. Everything you need was there. GPS go us there but the sharp right turn at the end is not the right way. Go left instead. I can’t say enough good things about this place and Delores. Already looking for time to come back. Would love for it to be small pet(<20lbs) friendly!! Thank you Delores. Well worth the price!!

Place was as described very private and secluded. We really enjoyed it, we came with the dog the one thing to note it is in the woods so there were a lot of ticks but other than that it was very pleasant stay.

The place was as described and in a very peaceful area. Close to nearby attractions but still with a country vibe. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely return if in the area.

Had a great time! Not far from several towns. Close to the Otter Lake which is a great walk. The cabin was well-maintained, and had everything we needed.

This place was amazing, an unforgetable expierce for me and my family! Dan and Chrissy were very good hosts!

If you’re looking for a peaceful spot on the river, punctuated by an occasional train whistle (across the river), this is it! Bryan and Wanda made sure we had what we needed and were very kind. The cabin is low on frills but we expected that. Access to the river is very easy and our son enjoyed several afternoon floats. Paddlemore was terrific for a weekend stay.

Suzy was an amazing host. This place was so peaceful and relaxing. We instantly fell in love with her pups, location and cabin. This place is now my “go to” accommodation when in VA. Suzy was very friendly and welcoming!! Thanks so much Suzy for opening your cabin to us and having such sweet sweet pups!

The place is nice, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery with the animals on the farm (our dogs made some new equine friends), it was a different kind of getaway but one we won’t soon forget. Recommended for people looking for a laid back peaceful trip.

Elizabeth was a great host and the Cabin was a wonderful place to stay! We would be happy to stay there again!

This was our second time on the farm and we loved it! Communication was wonderful and they let us check in a little early which was great. We appreciated all the recommendations and tips for making our cabin warm and comfortable. Thank you so much for an amazing off the grid getaway.

I stayed in the cabin on the river, I must say it was probably the best few days I’ve ever had. Such a beautiful and peaceful set up, not to mention the farm as a whole was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Stephanie's little cottage was just as pictured. The bed was very comfortable as was the furnishings. We took advantage of the well stocked kitchen making about half our meals in house. We enjoyed sitting out in the screened porch both in the mornings and evenings. There was ample parking for our truck, small motorcycle trailer, and two bikes. It might not be the easiest to find but it is very quiet and peaceful once there. Groceries and restaurants are conveniently close by but the cottage has the feeling of being away from it all. We saw two friendly woodchucks almost everyday and two deer bedded down in the yard right outside our door. We rode the Blue Ridge parkway, which is accessed about 15mi from the cottage, at the James River. Heading south we climbed to the Peaks of Otter topping out at 3950ft. Heading north we made it to Whetstone Bridge before turning around. We found Stephanie's little cottage to be the perfect place to stay while exploring the area.

This place was amazing, an unforgetable expierce for me and my family! Dan and Chrissy were very good hosts!

This place was as advertised and a perfect peaceful getaway with cows within yards of the cabin. Wil was also a very gracious host and made our stay well worth it.

would book again.

Our family of three had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin! It was the perfect mix of peaceful and fun—the setting by the river is incredibly relaxing, and our child absolutely loved watching the horses and exploring the open space. The cabin was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen and cozy common areas. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the porch, took easy day trips into Lexington, and enjoyed quiet evenings by the fireplace. If you’re looking for a family-friendly retreat surrounded by nature and animals, this place is a gem. We’d definitely come back!

Great space and location! Given the space in this modern cabin, it had everything that we needed. We loved the privacy and remoteness, as well as the nearby trails.
