About this cabin rental

Enjoy your getaway in a peaceful setting in this unique cabin built in 1840 with built addition, walk-around porch and deck. 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, tubing or just sightseeing. 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 gentle 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, TrueCrime, Outlaw, the365, and multiple PBS channels

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.

There are also 4 outdoor blankets, which are provided for use outdoors.

This is a beautiful cabin in the woods. It is very pet and family friendly. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a country getaway. And the host was incredibly responsive and made everything very easy.

This cabin had all the essentials, great informative labeling and instructions, and was very clean and pretty! We loved the expansive yard, too. It was the perfect combination of a private getaway but still near the town.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Pros: The host was excellent. She responded quickly every time I had a question, she warned us of a tree that had gone down just that day, and she left the makings of s'mores for us--a very "sweet" gesture! The kitchen had everything we needed: microwave, bottled water, and a fridge. We had our choice of games and DVDs; there was a remarkable selection of both. I can speak for the bed in the master bedroom; it was comfortable. The 9 year old liked sleeping in the top bunk--and the 7 year old on the floor (just because he refused to sleep in the bottom bunk in the same room as his sister).But the place was also disappointing.Cons: I expected more since there were 46 excellent reviews. The towels looked cheap and threadbare; they should've been replaced! The electrical wiring was sketchy. (I'm particularly referring to the line with a switch that turned on the light in the den.) The screen door had big gaps in the screen, thus making it impossible to leave the door open, even if we had wanted to. There was no stair rail in the stairway leading to the basement, and the basement itself had a concrete floor. I didn't go down there myself and wouldn't let the kids go down either. And my grandson was disappointed because we wouldn't let him sleep in the loft; there was no barrier that would prevent him from rolling out of the loft! The dealbreaker was that if I had known there were window air conditioners rather than central air, I wouldn't have booked it in the first place.
