The cabin has a beautiful view of the mountains from the front porch, so it’s tempting just to sit there and enjoy it. The cabin is perfectly located for exploring the Shenandoah valley, Skyline Drive, etc. The Thornton Gap entrance to Skyline Drive is nearby and there are a lot of great hikes within easy reach. This was our second visit to Hawksbill Retreat, and we’ll likely return. Everything was exactly as advertised and the whole process was easy.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The space was cozy and inviting, and the bed was super comfy, making it easy to unwind after long days of exploring. The hot tub was incredibly relaxing, and the beautiful outdoor views made every moment feel peaceful. At night, the breathtaking sky full of stars was truly unforgettable.The only downside was that the fireplace remote wasn’t functioning, which made it a bit tricky to use the fireplace. Aside from that small issue, the experience was fantastic and we’d happily return.

Proprietor responded quickly to the one concern that came up and personally addressed it with us. Would definitely return and recommend.

Beautiful cabin and location

The property and cabin are delightful! We very much enjoyed our stay and the accommodations. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn't really use the fire pit and the fire place wasn't a real one but did put out some warmth and was pretty. The hot tub had a wonderful view as did the porch. Overall, would recommend and return.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect romantic getaway. Communication with the property was so easy and fast, I asked about a couple details including the type of coffee maker (keurig duo) and they responded within minutes. We did have issues hooking up to the TV but it wasn't a top priority so didn't impact our stay. Cabins 9 and 10 are the first two you see when you drive in, so I can see how other cabins might be more ideal but we didn't have any issues with privacy even with tenants in the neighboring cabins. Notes for the future: bring charcoal if you want to grill, fold out chairs for the bon fire would be helpful (there's only a bench), and just FYI the bed is a queen size. Great stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The cabin and surrounding area are absolutely breathtaking, and we loved being close to a charming mom-and-pop winery—it was a highlight of our stay. The cabin itself was peaceful and scenic. One area for improvement would be communication prior to arrival. I emailed the owners in advance to ask about the type of grill available so I could prepare accordingly but didn’t receive a response. I assumed there was a gas grill and bought groceries with that in mind; however, there was an outdoor charcoal grill with no lighting and no charcoal provided.It would also be very helpful for future guests to receive a clearer list of what to bring, such as extra toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, and basic cooking essentials, as well as details about the cookware and type of coffee maker on site. Given the detailed instructions provided to guests, having the same level of clarity and responsiveness in return—especially when guests are preparing for their stay—would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential and just needs a bit more communication and transparency to make it truly seamless

Great hidden gem!

Such a beautiful view! Cabin was very clean and homey. Enjoyed the double shower, hot tub, fire pit and outdoor grill. The keypad entry was easy to get used to. Only thing we didn’t know was the amount of steps in and out of the unit. Conveniently located to the attractions we wanted to see. Felt safe and secure. Only complaint is I reported a broken plate the first day we were there that I accidentally dropped. It wasn’t part of a set in fact it didn’t match any of the other ones and I was told the fee was more than double what can be bought on online Walmart can buy an 8 piece set for Oh well. Otherwise plan to return in the future.
