Great stay!
Couldn’t be happier with our stay. The place was exactly as described and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We didn’t have a ton of time there since we were competing at the Virginia horse center but the time we did have was super relaxing. My son and I even had time for a little fishing. The stars at night are amazing

Wedding weekend getaway
My friends and I came out to the area for a wedding and had a great stay at the lodge. The hosts were extremely responsive and the place was perfect for a big group of friends. We appreciated the very simple checkout process and absence of complicated instructions. The location was very remote so it’s difficult to get to things quickly but perfect for a quiet weekend in the mountains.

This was our second time staying at this beautiful property and plan on retruning again in the future. We really enjoy the privacy of this property, the scenic views from the porch, and the fishing pond. At night, the stars are incredible to view when relaxing in the hot tub.

A spacious beautiful but cozy cabin
We had a very great experience visiting this cabin. It had a very cozy and warm feeling to it. Absolutely amazing views from the porch and the patio. How much ever I tell is less about our stay. The view of fog engulfed mountains, waking up to the tweets of so many birds, the early morning hikes in the trails. Following this; the experience of fishing in the small pond Provided at the property, As well as the facility of having a paddle boat and also a canoe. The kids and all of us adults experienced each different aspect. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of utensils And appliances. You didn’t need to use any of the utensils which we carried. Even the blankets, pillows were clean and umpteen. The place was also well stocked with board games and unique toys for kids. Each bedroom had its own ambience of a cozy cabin. The Property was furnished with so many trinkets and decorative items from the 1900 And some even older; Which makes the place even more interesting. A dream vacation Which we would never be able to express in its fullest. It was so much more than the words expressed here. Must stay experience for all I recommend everyone to surely book and enjoy their stay here. I surely would recommend all my friends.

Fantastic Four Days
The property is hundreds of acres, with brilliant star-filled skies at night, our five year old caught large mouth bass in the pond, we had a fire and smores in the giant metal fire pit, ate dinner outside on the back patio two nights, enjoyed the quiet of the country side, hiked the five miles of trails that are maintained on the property, sat by the gas fire place in the living room at night, prepared large meals in the kitchen and lots of coffee in the outer kitchen, found crawdads in the creek and hope we can find an excuse to go back every year. It was a great time!

Womderul VMI reunion weekend
My group of BR's and our families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin for our 20 year VMI reunion. It's about a 25 min drive from Post but well worth the drive. We enjoyed the pond, canoes, pedal boats etc. The kids fished from the stocked pond which is catch and release. Our group enjoyed the fire pit at night and the beautiful scenery of the mountains from the deck and of course the Jacuzzi was a nice way to hang out at night. We will keep this property in mind for future reunion weekends!

Long weekend
We had an amazing time! We stayed with another family and there was plenty of room to have space if needed and all sit together for meals. The rocking chairs on the covered porch overlooking the field and pond were perfect for coffe and a blanket in the mornings. The beautiful stone fireplace was perfect in the evenings, while the kids were having a movie night upstairs. We have unanimously voted yes to coming back! Thank you so much for your hospitality and having everything we could need in the kitchen, bathrooms and even multiple binoculars!

Weekend visit to VMI
The property and lodge were fantastic. Everything inside and out exceeded our expectations. We have stayed at several VRBO properties over the years and this property by far has been the best "stocked" property. The spice rack had every kind of spice if you so choose to cook, there were binoculars by the back porch to watch the deer in the field, there were multiple types of coffee, there were robes for the hot tub, firewood for the fire pit, etc. etc. I highly recommend the lodge for anyone looking for a quality getaway with privacy. We will be back!

Labor Day Trip
The house and property were absolutely amazing. The house was well furnished and has everything you could possibly need. After spending the day exploring town and hiking, it was nice to come back and relax in the hot tub. It was a great place to stargaze at night. The fishing pond was an added bonus. We loved catching fish and taking the paddleboat out. The covered deck was a great spot to enjoy some morning views. The hummingbird feeder was one of our favorite parts. We loved watching them in the morning. We have stayed at a lot of properties before, but this place is by far our favorite one.

Very relaxing
Had a very relaxing trip. It was a short stay but the owners went above and beyond to accommodate us. From the morning sun to the night sky and the feel of lodge everything was very relaxing. The pond was the highlight, the kids and us adults all caught fish. The lodge felt very homey and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place and am in fact planning my next visit.

The lodge is a dream! It’s so clean and ready for a great family vacation. Kitchen is fully stocked, plenty of towels, blankets, and creature comforts. The bathrobes in each room are such a nice touch! The property is stunning with a beautiful stocked fishing pond. Our teenagers put their phones down and played like real kids! We were 45 minutes from Natural bridge safari park and caverns and an hour from tubing with Twin River. 10/10 schedule this vacation for your family today!

Peaceful cabin with gorgeous views
I rented the cabin and thought it was a very reasonable price. The owners were responsive without being overbearing. They had it stocked more generously than other vrbos - dishwasher pods, body wash, etc. They also had an abundance of towels. As mentioned previously, for some reason the pictures don't do it justice. It is a solid log cabin - beautifully decorated. It is roomy and cozy. While somewhat remote, the most beautiful views I saw in Virginia were the views from the cabin and of neighboring farms. We did a day trip to Shenandoah National park and Lewisburg,WV but closer cute towns are nearby. We were always midful not to stay out too late as we wanted to enjoy the cabin. We enjoyed the hot tub and paddleboat/canoe. We cooked our supper there and found it well stocked. My 7 year old liked for me to take him to the creek which was at the end of the driveway and across a field. There he gathered rocks, built bridges with rocks and could have spent hours ther playing. He is begging to return. It is simply an amazing property!
