We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin! So quaint, relaxing and beautifully decorated! Our only regret is that we were not able to stay longer than a weekend. We’ll definitely make it longer next time!

This stay was nothing short of perfect, in large part due to Melba and her family were incredible hosts. My husband and I drove up from TN for a family reunion, and loved having a place to stay all to ourselves. The location was great--only about 20 minutes to where we needed to go in any direction. Melba even gave us permission to go look at their new baby goats, which absolutely made my day. I cannot wait to come back! I will mention that it does get bright as the sun rises, and the best is VERY soft. Neither of those things bother me, but if you like to sleep in and/or prefer a firm mattress, you may not get the best sleep while staying here.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is gorgeous and equipped with all you'd expect. We loved the quiet atmosphere and peace.
We enjoyed week in a beautiful home with a stunning view from the best porch swing, complete with excellent WiFi, fresh eggs from the chickens next door, and baby goats. What more could we ask for? My husband and I were looking for rest and peace, and that’s exactly what we got. Melba was an excellent host and even invited us to see the birth of two beautiful baby goats. Snuggling with those babies during their first few days of life was the BEST! The bed was wonderfully comfortable, with soft linens and lots of pillows, and the heated towel rack in the bathroom was a great extra touch.
Thank you to Melba for a fabulous week!

Wish we could have stayed longer!
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was super quiet. The goats and chickens made our trip extra fun. The peaceful porch made me not want to leave. The host is amazing! She has worked very hard to make this cabin special. I loved reading about the history of the cabin and the items inside.

Husband Birthday Getaway
I wanted to take “birthday Man” to a peaceful getaway/outing. The lake came to mind and to stay at a decent cabin. The whole concept of the “Mountains”. Perfect beautiful layout of the cabin. Nicely and pleasantly built. Nice forest/mountain views and private❤️. 15 mins from the lake attractions and the smith mountain lake is 15 mins right after the attractions. Very convenient. Different scenery was my whole concept. He loved it and thought is was very thoughtful❤️ I asked him scale 1-10 of how I did…he said 10 ❤️❤️❤️ from a wife thats so in love. This cabin is for “lovers”❤️

Peaceful Cottage with Everything You'd Need
Melba's place is very welcoming and has all the necessary amenities for a nice stay. The check in process is very easy and the house itself is well equipped with everything you might need for a pleasant stay! It was clean and had a lovely view out of the back patio.

Valentine’s Getaway
From first site of the pictures online the cabin space looked very inviting but a huge surprise in person. The cabin is spacious and the view is beautiful. Melba and her family did an awesome job with the decor from the old barn doors used in the kitchen and bathroom to the rustic pieces throughout the cabin. The nice big windows covered with the sheer curtain made you feel like you were at a retreat for sure. Looking out at the farm land and animals was truly peaceful. My husband had no idea where I was taking him and when he walked into the cabin he was in loved with the place as well. Thank you Melba for sharing this gem with the world!
