About this property
Pre-civil War RUSTIC cabin on 30 acres ten minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Maggie's Farm is a RUSTIC country log cabin that was built in the 1840's and has been kept largely as it was built, in a "dogtrot" style. If you seek a quiet, UNPLUGGED getaway in which to relax, rest and enjoy old-fashioned family time, you need look no further. WE ARE A DARK SKY DESTINATION. Maggie's Farm has a working fireplace in the kitchen a large stocked, family-style kitchen and living area, with two sleeper sofas. A full bath is on the main level as well. Upstairs is a master bedroom with queen and single bed, and a bunk room with queen, double and three single beds. Located on 30 acres with two creeks on the property, as well as trails to walk leisurely, porch swings to enjoy owls, turkeys, whipporwills and other birds and animals. Maggie's Farm is a step back in time to a slower, gentler way of life. A large fire pit for evening campfires awaits you, as well as horseshoe pit, badminton and a swing set for children after a wade in the creek. The cabin is 20 minutes from the Harvester Performance Center, roughly 25 minutes from Philpott Lake with Army Corp of Engineer swimming areas, and is about 30 minutes from Floyd, with its weekly music jams and popular Floydfest each summer, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is ten minutes away as well. The cabin makes an ideal gathering point for family reunions and , football weekends at Virginia Tech, , and it has a 20' x40' covered, lighted outdoor pavilion. It is five minutes from Ferrum College, and is on the Crooked Road Music Trail. Spring and fall are especially pleasant, with cool mornings and evenings to experience.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Libby Legg

We (Kerry and Libby) are retired and live on the property adjoining the cabin, which we bought to preserve its historic presence. The original owner built the cabin and raised ten children there before leaving home to fight for his country in the Civil War. He died at Gettysburg and was buried there, although there is a marker in the family cemetery located on the hill above the cabin. The property is in the process of becoming a working farm again, and work is the operative word! Between the two gardens, chickens, cats and Sarge, the rescue dog, not much "retiring" goes on in this holler, but we hope you'll enjoy the respite and slower pace as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The cabin sets beautifully between the mountains, and affords its occupants the chance to slow down, listen and absorb the sounds of the creeks, the crickets and other wildlife. Maggie's Farm is an opportunity to unwind, unplug and mend. While it does have modern "amenities" like electricity and plumbing, it doesn't have cable, wifi or other distractions, giving ample opportunity for families to regroup, revive and renew their relationships.
What makes this property unique
The outdoor covered area would provide a wonderful area for groups to pursue a mutual hobby such as quilting or other crafts, and is well-lit with new electrical outlets for equipment and projects. Evenings on the front porch swing or on the glider on the back porch are sure to be a favorite time, before gathering around the fire pit to share tales and beverages.
