About this property

3 Sisters - Historic 1840 Pre-Civil War Log Cabin with sauna, hot tub & firepit!

Three Sisters Log Cabin is an elegant, private, 1840's log cabin that happens to be one of only a few surviving two story log cabins along Virginia's scenic and world-renowned Blue Ridge Parkway. The only Virginia property featured in, "The Top 100 Most Beautiful Rustic Vacation Properties in North America," Three Sisters Log Cabin is truly an unusual find and one that the discriminating guest will find themselves keeping secret - and sharing only with a few close friends.

Surrounded by towering rhododendrons, thickets of mountain laurel and a forest carpet of wild ginger, trillium and wintergreen, the cabin is secluded - some would say remote - and perfectly peaceful. the cabin's split rail fence separates the mountain hollow from the wilderness beyond, where just down the winding road you can find Crabtree Falls, Spy Rock, Wintergreen Resort and the mysterious Appalachian Trail. Three Sisters is within about 30 minutes driving of 4 different waterfalls!

Three Sisters has been meticulously restored. The wood-burning stove is the focal point of the cabin's original log great room. The picture windows of the post and beam kitchen and bath seem to let the outdoors inside. The original log bedroom boasts a QUEEN-size bed and two TWIN beds. Sleeps 4. The hot tub is just outside the kitchen door on the fieldstone terrace and to the left of the cabin there is a sauna complete with changing room and its own fieldstone terrace.

Cleaning fee includes Three Sisters Log Cabin, the separate sauna cabin and the hot tub.

Note: NO pets, smoking, vaping, or illegal drugs are permitted. There will be a fee for anyone breaking the rules.
There are security cameras on site; however absolutely none are directed towards the cabin, hot tub, fire pit or sauna. There are also security motion detectors in our home. There are NO cameras in our home, sauna or directed to any outdoor guest areas.

Keeps getting better

Three Sisters has become an annual trip for us. Each year gets better. The addition of the dry sauna this year is a huge plus! As with everything else, this was added with amazing attention to detail and comfort. Couldn’t recommend this property more highly.

Another magical stay

Three sisters is the best of all worlds; authentic historical log cabin married with charm and luxury. We enjoyed a remote private location with all the rustic charm of an 1840’s log cabin, but with Keurig coffees, classic steam/ sauna ( steps from the cabin) and a hot tub where you can kick back and look at endless stars. Heavenly! Owner is great- so helpful with any need. Recommend highly!

Relaxing Weekend Away!

We went away for the weekend to celebrate my Mom's birthday, this was our first experience with a vacation rental in this form and it could not have been better! We loved the area and the uniqueness of our stay. It was very relaxing and comforting to stay here. Our host was very kind from beginning to end and even checked in to make sure we made it safely! There is so much thought that went into this cabin with preserving the history as well as adding spa like touches. There were also a lot of helpful suggestions provided by our host about what else was in the area! We are very much looking forward to coming back again!

AMAZING!!!

The Three Sisters cabin is a spectacular place to get away from the noise of life and refresh. Everything was taken care of, from the amazingly stocked kitchen to the fire pit to the hot tub. The place is clean, quiet, and inviting. Our host kept in touch with us at many points along the way, including letting us know of potential storms and even a meteor shower we were fortunate to see. It's a true gem!

A magical place!

All of the comforts of home in this 200 year old cabin! We also enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The inside was cozy and comfortable. Although we didn’t use the wood stove, it would be a plus on a colder night. We stopped at 12 Ridges Vineyard on the way in, then grabbed some huge burgers from a little place called Gertie’s. Crabtree Falls is right down the road, and the Natural Bridge and Safari Park are only 35 miles away. We can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin and can’t wait to come back! From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and full of personality. One of our favorite spots was the sweet little bench by the kitchen window perfect for sipping coffee from the beautiful brown pottery cups while taking in the airy, light-filled kitchen. The thoughtful drink selection was such a nice touch too.The living space was inviting, with a comfy couch and soft pillows that made us feel instantly at home. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the Jacuzzi, which was such a treat. Although we didn’t get the chance to use the sauna, it looked spotless, safe, and well maintained.The host deserves a special mention not only was she incredibly thoughtful and attentive, but she was also so gracious even while navigating her own personal challenges. It truly made the stay feel cared for.Getting to the cabin was much easier than it first looked on the map, and while there wasn’t much cell reception, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly and kept us connected.This place felt like a little hidden gem, and we’re already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly recommend!

This is an incredible property, with wonderful hosts. Every detail is taken care of- and you can simply relax and reconnect. Highly recommend booking a stay. Monica was a wealth of helpful information, and made our stay easy and fun. The sauna, hot tub, perfectly stocked kitchen, fluffy robes, fire pit, grill, wild life and outdoor lounge area helped my husband decompress after thru hiking the AT. Thanks so much! We cannot wait for our next stay! Best, K&Z

So glad we chose this stay

Picking a 1800s log cabin stretched our comfort zone, but so happy we did as it exceeded our expectations, blending a beautiful restoration of yesteryear with no shortage of modern amenities. The hot tub and sauna were icing on the cake after great day trips in the Blue Ridge mountains. Now our #1 vrbo adventure!

I have rented quite a few cabins in Virginia and this is the absolute pinnacle! Exceptional experience from start to finish, with great communication and information about the property and how to get there. The cabin is immaculate, with layers of history and modern amenities. A real GAS range for cooking, plus the cleanest hot tub I've ever used! Cannot wait to stay again!

Perfect trip and wonderful property owner.

My husband and I needed to get away and this was the perfect place to do it! A beautiful historic cabin, spotlessly clean, cozy and little extras that make it a 10/10 (eye masks, cozy robes, games,coffee AND creamer, etc). Monica was so communicative and helpful. There was so much helpful info in the binders she left for guests. Travel the 40 minutes to Haywood restaurant at The Georges Inn in Lexington for a fabulous meal, don’t miss the Crabtree Falls hike, and ask Monica for info on Tyler - best massage of my life and he makes house calls! Thank you, Three Sisters! We will be back with the kiddos so they can take advantage of the huge yard and wonderful nature surrounding.

The cabin was originally built by a family of German immigrants in 1840. The millstone that graces the front step was likely brought over from England as ballast on a ship.
