About this property

Outdoor Enthusiasts 3 Bdrm retreat Blue Ridge Mountains Jefferson National Frst

Don't let the name fool you!! This beautifully remodeled ranch cabin in the woods is the perfect escape for you, your family and even your horses or mules (go long ears). The cabin boasts high end finishes throughout with custom woodwork in the kitchen and dining areas. This large yet cozy home is within walking distance to the Dismal Falls, Appalachian Trail, Flat Top horse trails and all that surrounds, in the Jefferson National Forest. This is the best of both worlds! Finally, you don't have to choose between a great place to trail ride, hike, mountain bike, cycle or adventure ride and a nice place to stay! This lovely three bedroom one bath cabin has every comfort of home. It accommodates it's guests with 1 king, 1 queen, and a bunk bed for the kids! There is also a pull-out sofa bed in the living room if required. The kitchen is fully equipped and linens are provided. The cabin also has a cedar, screened front porch with room enough for everyone to relax and listen to the creek flow by. The cabin, however, is merely a place to rest, it's the outside that has it all to offer. Whether you ride a horse, mountain bike or just like to get out on your own two feet and hike it's all just out the front door, literally. The Appalachian Trail runs parallel to the cabin and is accessible in several areas. The Flat Top Horse Trail System is a combination of forest roads and woodland trails that make up miles and miles of trail riding fun! Unlike the horse camp located a mile or two up the road, this cabin does accept reservations and is not affected by a government shutdown! If you love the trail but also like getting clean and putting your feet up in real comfort and style this is the perfect place for you! The property consists of approximately 2.5 acres and adjoins the Jefferson National Forest in the rear and Dismal Creek (a Virginia fisheries stocked trout stream) runs through the front yard. We offer approximately an acre of cross fenced corral for your horses or long ear friends. We also welcome hunters and fisherman seasonally for world class deer, turkey and bear hunting and trout and bass fishing. Motorcyclists on or on/off road find Bland County a beautiful and exciting place to ride.
Come stay with us and explore!

College Graduation Weekend
The cottage was quiet, clean, functional, and furnished. The owner was easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed the screen porch. We had a very peaceful pleasant stay.

Peace & Quiet
If you are looking for a remote location with lots of peace and quiet, this is the place. It is only 30 minutes to get back to shopping or sites that put you back into civilization. Beautiful mountain scenery and a beautiful location at Dismall Falls. Great hosts and we enjoyed our stay in July 2022!

TRUE OFF THE GRID PARADISE
If you are looking to unplug from technology and really experience the beauty that surrounds you........COME HERE! This was exactly what we needed and the National Forest (Dismal Falls) was breathtaking. Hugh Thank You to our Host. MATT.....you were nothing short of amazing. The campsite at the river was way more than we expected and a much needed romantic spot for our anniversary. We will be back.
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021
