We loved are stay here over the Easter weekend. We wanted to be our granddaughters who are attending Virginia Tech. The cabin was a little further from VT than expected but we had a great time. We had our dog and their dog!The cabin is rustic but that is what you expect from a cabin in the woods!The girls fished and caught several fish and released them back into the pond. There are several hiking trails.There isn't a working stove but there is a hot plate, toaster oven and microwave. We cooked steaks on the girl one night and Easter day we brought Chinese Food back after church.All-in-all it was a great weekend.

I love the remote and quiet atmosphere of Buffalo Hollow Cabin. The numerous hiking trails are inviting and I will have to come back when I can explore them. My little dog loved running around in the grassy lawn.

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful time and it was the perfect getaway for our 41st Anniversary. The cabin is secluded and sits back off a gravel road. We enjoyed sitting next to the fire pit listening to nature and looking at the bright stars. The cabin is peaceful and very relaxing.

Cabin in the Woods

Very peaceful cabin. You travel up a gravel road past an old barn and around a pond to the cabin. A very authentic mountain cabin retreat. We really enjoyed the tranquil setting and will definitely stay here again in the future.

I had a ball, so did my brother’s dog. The great grandma’s were not quite as impressed. I think how tucked away in the woods gave them pause. Very relaxing. I would definitely stay again on my own!

Beautiful Forest Cabin Getaway

What an incredible stay. Beautiful cabin tucked away in the woods. Had so much fun fishing and hiking. This is pretty wheelchair accessible too on the first floor, plenty of space to roll around. We loved the stars and sky at night. We can’t wait to return. Owner was great with communication as well and so so kind. Thank you!

This is a beautiful cabin, as advertised, gorgeous area, total and complete seclusion, yet close enough to anything you need. My fiancée and I stayed there for a long holiday weekend, and took in the Aurigid meteor shower, with a front row seat that you literally have to see to believe. I have seen multiple meteor showers in my life, but absolutely nothing compares to the vantage point of this cabin. Hikes, nature, roaring fires every night, romance, it is absolute paradise. The worst part is having to leave. We cannot recommennd this highly enough for any looking to unplug, recharge, and reconnect. We will be back.

Heaven on Earth

This place is special. The cabin is tucked at the end of a long, forested, rhododendron lined drive that runs along a stream. After passing a photogenic old barn, you are greeted with the most charming log cabin, tucked just beyond the two ponds. There is no noise pollution - instead, you'll be enchanted by birdsong and a nightly chorus of frogs. It was exactly what we needed. Milda is so very kind, with prompt communication and a generous heart. Thank you for everything. Additional thanks to Brandey for prepping the cabin to make it feel so welcoming.

Cabin by the Ponds

Very quiet & secluded location. Google maps took us to the precise location. Be prepared to drive down a lots of gravel roads, which is part of the attraction. The cabin is a quaint, rustic place that is very comfortable for a couple for several days. Decor is appropriate to a cabin. The location is about 35 minutes to Christiansburg, 40 minutes to Blacksburg, and about 20 minutes to downtown Floyd. Floyd is a gem of a town - a great surprise with restaurants and shops and friendly people. Really enjoyed out stay altogether.

Great getaway

The property is secluded. Your neighbors are the abundant wildlife. The cabin is nicely furnished and the beds are comfortable. I was looking to escape the heat and humidity of August in NC (Raleigh area) and wasn’t disappointed. I’ll remember the flannel shirt mornings with coffee on the front porch. I never met our host, Milda, but communication was excellent. Checking in and out was a breeze. Hope to go back next summer.

Nice setup for getting away from it all in the woods. Decorations were too cluttered for us. A/C great on first floor upstairs single beds a bit warm but comfortable with provided fans. No counter space in kitchen. Nice fire pit and charcoal grill.

About the host

Hosted by Milda Vaivada

Host profile image

As a Virginia native, after spending several decades in Florida am thrilled to be back in the Blue Ridge and fulfilling the dream of owning a remote rustic cabin down a winding dirt road deep in the woods. It is a pleasure to share this enchanting piece of paradise- a perfect place to find quiet and restore one's soul.

Why they chose this property

The nearby town of Floyd is a jewel in the New River Valley. The perfect small country atmosphere with live music, vineyards, craft galleries and a great brewery.

What makes this property unique

When arriving at this cabin retreat it feels as if the world has faded away along with all the stress of the day to day concerns. It's just you and the wind in the trees and the sunlight shimmering on the ponds. Total peace.
