Exactly as advertised

We had a great time, especially with short walk to the hiking trails. The trailer was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed. It’s a cozy stay for sure, but worth it. The place was easy to find, and the owner was helpful, accommodating, and accessible.

Great location

This was the perfect location for us. We were able to walk to White Oak Canyon lower parking lot instead of dealing with the congestion of cars trying to park there. The cottage was everything we needed it to be for what we were there for. Really all you need to bring is food and clothes. Beautiful property. Bill provided us with all info needed to cover any question we may have had. I would definitely stay here again. It was easy, convenient, and affordable!

Rustic property close to Old Rag trail circuit

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Old Rag Mountain. Cell phone coverage is poor or nonexistent so it is important to communicate with the owner prior to losing coverage. For example, ask for the door code before getting off the main highway! Once you are inside the property, you can access Wi-Fi. Everything about the property is fine, but there were some ants and millipedes to contend with, mainly in the kitchen. If you want to hike Old Rag from the property, you will want to start from the access point at the Berry Hollow parking spot, which is about a mile away. If you want to start from the Old Rag parking lot, you’ll need to drive approximately 12 miles to do so. The closest convenience store is about 5 miles away (going back the way you came on Weakley Hollow Rd) and it has a grill that serves breakfast lunch and dinner.

Peaceful getaway

Listing was completely accurate. So close to the trails we wanted to hike. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t supplied there. Not much else around so we would suggest taking all the food you need. There is a shop about 30 minutes away but very expense as you expect in this type of area. One thing to be aware of. The listing did not mention a grill, but there was one. Unfortunately all our dinners needed to be grilled as we packed for a camping experience but it was not a propane grill and we had no charcoal. We made accommodations but if you know this ahead of time, no problem! It wasn’t the cleanest but again you are renting a camper in the woods. Thanks so much for letting us use your place. It’s just the type of location we want while vacationing, secluded, private and away from the daily noise we are used to.
