About this property

Serenity, Waterfront Mountain Retreat

Enjoy Serenity on Craig, a private waterfront mountain retreat surrounded by views of the Alleghany Mountains. You cannot beat these views! The clear water of Craig's Creek beckons guests to kayak, tube, fish and swim in its waters. Bring your dog to enjoy it all! This new cottage (sister to popular Cottage on Craig - VRBO 335245) is outfitted with everything you need for your getaway into nature. It is the perfect place to be active and explore (includes a canoe, kayaks, tubes but bring your own fishing pole) or thoroughly relax. Firewood is provided for your primitive outdoor firepit which is ready for s'mores and more. View the night sky free of light pollution. The large patio overlooks the natural beauty of the water and mountains around you. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Serenity on Craig is peaceful and your place to recharge. Soon see why we have so many return guests to Craig's Creek from the local area and beyond. Visitors love exploring the hiking trails in the forests and take in the natural beauty surrounding this mountain retreat.
The open, fully furnished kitchen, spacious dining room table(seats 10) and comfortable great room have stunning floor to ceiling views, as well as a large stone fireplace with gas logs.
The master bedroom, with its perfect view of Craig's Creek, features a king bed with a full bathroom. The queen bedroom also offers beautiful views and shares a full bath with the bunkbeds bedroom. Books, games and puzzles are available.
Satellite tv, landline phone and free wifi are provided but no cell service.
Enjoy hiking on the property or venture further to the nearby State and National Forest trails. Roaring Run(4 1/2 miles away), Hoop Hole Trail (about 2 miles away) and the Greenbrier River Trail (rated in the top ten hiking trails by Backpacking Magazine) are nearby. Vineyards (Blue Ridge and Virginia Mountain Vineyard), breweries (Jack Mason's Pub), and a great little diner (Maw and Paws) are nearby.
Cook a meal in the beautiful kitchen, on the charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal), gas grill (propane is provided) or over the open pit with the oak provided. Bring your water shoes due to the rocky creek bed. We provide paper products and detergents.

Beautiful location. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were very quick to respond to questions and needs before and during our stay. Kitchen is well equipped for most cooking needs. We used the gas and charcoal grills, both are well maintained. Perfect for a quiet getaway away from it all.

Fantastic property, beautiful views

We loved our winter getaway here! We had 6 adults and did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen to be well stocked. The property was very clean and organized, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We loved the hot tub overlooking the creek with a view of the mountains. We can't wait to go back in warmer weather!

Wonderful getaway

The place was excellent for staying on Craig creek right in the middle of being able to drive 20-30 minutes to put in at 4 tributaries to the James. Would definitely recommend this for anglers coming to fish around the area or couples looking for a peaceful getaway for a weekend.
