My cabin was homey and charming. Everything I needed was right there. The site is comfy and private and that made for a restful stay. This was the second time I have stayed in cabin #1 and hope I can stay there the next time I come to Galax!

A quiet, lovely site off the Blue Ridge Parkway

This little cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway. It was well-equipped, the jetted tub was relaxing and if we had been staying longer than two nights we would have used the stacked washer/dryer. The owners were extremely responsive to communication and offered helpful advice about the area, too. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful overnight! Just what we needed!

We loved this cabin. Just down the road from the music museum where we watched an evening concert, so it was very convenient! It was clean, cozy, peaceful and had everything! Coffee available, a washer and dryer which we took advantage of, a well stocked kitchen and nice bed. Perfect in every way!

Peaceful Respite

We had a great short stay here. It was very quiet and comfortable. It would have helped to have had a chair in the living area to sit in, though. I had great difficulty climbing into the tall bed, so I just slept on the sofa. The interior was spotless, but I felt that the deck could have been swept. We enjoyed staying there, though.

About the host

Hosted by Donnie & Shelia Ramey

Host profile image
We built the cabins with the hope of sharing the beauty of the area with others and hopefully use the income to help as a college fund for our children. My husband was raised on the Blue Ridge Parkway and felt that local rental cabins were needed for guests traveling through the area. My father-in-law lives next door to the cabins and is available most all of the time to help if needed, give directions, and enjoys meeting and talking with our guests. We have enjoyed meeting people, who we now call friends, from a variety of states. We have also had international visitors!

I teach school as my 'day job', clean cabins on the side, and taxi my children to their many activities. We enjoy sharing our area with others! Biking on the New River Trail is a favorite of our family. We also love picnicking and hiking at Cumberland Knob. Saturday evening concerts at the Blue Ridge Music Center are always a treat! Some of our favorite places to eat include R.J.'s Pizza, Mt. Surf Seafood, County Line Café, and the Galax Smokehouse.
