5/5 stars for the entire experience!! We chose this little slice of heaven as our home base while watching a three game baseball series at VMI. We (& our furry pups) enjoyed this property more than we can put into words. It’s clean, beautiful, and easy. We loved the fire pit outside and enjoyed it serves times during our stay.

Beautiful property. Perfect for 4 folks - we had the married couple and two teenagers. Only 20 minutes to VMI and a peaceful drive through the back roads. Quaint and quiet spot on a huge piece of property with awesome views. Everything there we needed. We had one issue with the heat - unusually cold this winter so the heater on the main level couldn't keep up. Owners acknowledged and are going to see what they can do.

Thank you, Matthew, for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, and we are sorry about the heat issue. Yes, this is the coldest winter we have had since we built the cabin in 2024! Because the cabin was built to be period correct, the doors are a bit drafty. We are exploring options to make them less drafty for more comfort in modern day. We appreciate your honest feedback. We hope to host you again!

This cabin was beautifully constructed with wood from a historic tobacco barn, which gave it a historic feel despite being fairly recently built. The views off the front porch were GORGEOUS- overlooks a cow pasture and then a small mountain range. It was so relaxing to sit on the rocking chairs on the porch and take in the pastoral scenery. The cabin was thoughtfully appointed and well stocked in the kitchen. Firewood was provided and we definitely made use of the fireplace to sit around and read, play games. Location is very convenient to downtown Lexington and to local hikes. We LOVED our stay and hope to come back!

Cozy cabin, thoughtful owners

The cabin layout worked well for our family, with the master suite upstairs and the children in their own beds downstairs. The kitchen was well appointed, so we were able to eat in for a couple meals. The owner was very kind and responsive. And the view from the porch helped set the tone for a relaxing weekend.

It's an adorable cabin, well decorated and appointed and has lovely views. I have never stayed at a more pet friendly place. Lexington is close for restaurants and shopping. There are also many historic and outdoor sites to visit in the area. We would love to return in the future!

Perfect weekend getaway

The cabin was perfect for a family of 4 with kids ages 9 & 12. It is far enough into the countryside you feel ‘away’ but close enough to restaurants and stores for forgotten items. The kitchen is very tight (not suggesting it needs to be bigger, it was perfect for the cabin), be sure to prep as much as you can beforehand if you plan on making meals. We are already planning another trip in warmer weather to do different activities. Would recommend this cabin without hesitation.

Gorgeous cabin with amazing views in the Valley

I just cannot say enough about the wonderful space they have created here at the cabin - every detail of the decor was considered (even for our pup), the setting is magical with the ever changing views of clouds moving across the mountains. It was a lovely escape - incredibly clea, exactly as shown (better), and the host was wonderfully responsive. If in the valley I highly encourage you to stay ... you will be glad you did.

I can't say enough good things about this property. The views, the cabin, the property, and the hosts were amazing! The cabin was perfect for us, my wife and I in the upstairs bedroom and the kids in the basement bedroom. There was even a fenced in area out front for the dogs. The attention to detail by the owners was very obvious. We were in town for an event at VMI, but kept finding ourselves wanting to spend more time at the cabin. We'll definitely be back!

The cutest place I've ever stayed!

I brought my daughter to the area for a horse show at Virgina Horse Show (about a 10 min drive). This cabin feels brand new, but has incredible charm. As I understand, its a new build, but using very old logs.It has all the necessary comforts of a brand new home with incredible charm. I felt very safe. The only neighbors are cows! I only wish we had more time to visit.The owner was very responsive to a small issue and communicated constantly. Wonderful place!

Perfect cabin for a fall getaway!

My wife and I stayed in this beautiful cabin for 3 nights at the end of October to enjoy a fall getaway. The cabin is very clean and has a perfect view of the mountains from the front porch. We enjoyed sitting in the rockers covered up with one of the many cozy throw blankets the hosts provide just watching the leaves fall and star gazing at night. The cows in the field across the street are really fun to watch, as well. The host, Shauna, is super friendly and very communicative and made sure we knew what to expect each step of the way. We highly recommend this cabin and would most definitely plan to stay here again if we're in the area!

Better than the pictures

My husband and I stayed for two nights over MLK day and it was an absolute dream. Flickering tea light candles shining from the windows welcome you up to the cabin. Once inside, the lovely smell of raw cedar welcomes you. All of the decorations, the furniture and the finishings are superb and were clearly picked out with care. Also, this was the absolute cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. Not a speck of dust or dirt and everything was pristine. The master suite is an absolute dream. The bed was amazingly cozy and the bathroom was wonderful, down to the organic paraben-free shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Careful thought was put into every single detail of this cabin. We can't wait to stay again!beautiful fireplace.

Just What You Needed

My wife and I desperately needed to get away and we chose this location. The view is absolutely breathtaking... we sat outside in the cold just staring at the cows and then the stars for most of the trip. Inside the house feels cozy and quaint, but offers excellent accommodation. Huge comfortable bed, usable fireplace, great heating/air, super comfortable blankets for porch sitting, new hot showers. Love the history and tradition of the house. Owners are highly communicative and accommodating. Finally, being able to experience with our pups was such a blessing. If you're wondering if it's worth it... it is.

About the host

Hosted by Shauna Kale

Host profile image
My husband and I are retired, and are so excited about this new venture of hosting! This is our only property, so we are available to give 100% to making it as comfortable as possible for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the town of Lexington and Rockbridge County, so we bought property in 2017. We built our home on our 50 acres in 2021. We then had a vision for a genuine log cabin with a picturesque view of the mountains, a country road, an old barn and a field of cows. We found this on another area of our property, so we began construction on the cabin in January of 2023.

What makes this property unique

The VIEW is picturesque and PEACEFUL. The location is in the country, yet only minutes from town. The logs that make up the cabin are from a late 1800s tobacco barn, which was disassembled, transported, and reassembled on our land by our friend at Old Log and Stone. He built the rest mostly by hand! He took the time and care to make it as authentic as possible to log cabins from that time period. My husband and I have taken the time and care to decorate and stock it so that it represents a historic cabin with modern comfort and conveniences. It has been a labor of love! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
