Great weekend away!

I booked the cabin for a surprise weekend away for my husband's birthday. It was an amazing experience and just what we needed. The cabin was quiet, clean and well-appointed with everything we needed to relax and unwind. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the opportunity to spend time outside just taking them and the quiet sounds of nature all weekend long. The cabin is also located a short drive from VT, where we were able to attend the spring game without any issues getting there or back. Finally, we also took the owners advice and had brunch at the Draper Mercantile, which was delicious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin. We definitely want to come back!

Cozy Cabin Getaway

We really enjoyed our trip to Cabin at the Cove - what a beautiful, serene setting! You can just tell the multitude of incredible memories that have been made here from the moment you step inside (my husband and I played a game of Chess against one another for the first time ever!). Great space, well stocked, and Trina is SO responsive - couldn't have asked for better communication. We were on a trip to attend the absolutely baltic Virginia Tech Football Game (Go Hokies!) Thanksgiving weekend and were so lucky to enjoy downtime in this warm, inviting cabin. Bonus you ask!? - The views! Would love to come back again in the future!

Great for weekend family getaway

Our family had a wonderful weekend stay at this cabin in July. This property has lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains from a quiet cove. It has a long staircase down to its own private dock in the cove, which was something our sons enjoyed for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat from the nearby Mountain Island marina one day and we were able to pull up to the dock. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished with a variety of games, movies, and books, which our family enjoyed. The property owner, Trina, was friendly and responsive, and she made the check in and check out process easy for us. Overall our family drew closer to each other during our weekend stay at this cabin.

Nice place

The property is nice and is in a great location on a cove of the lake. We were there for a Virginia Tech football game so we didn’t get to take advantage of all the cabin had to offer. It was clean and communication was easy. It is remote, but also not far from the interstate, so it was convenient to get to the grocery store, etc.

A nice stay at the lake

Five ~30 guys on a bachelor trip rented this property. We had a great time relaxing on the lake. The house was great, quiet, plenty big, and easy to find. We did utilize the dock on the second day which was great. No complaints, but do bring some coffee (they have the maker and filter) and shower products. The owners provided exceptional communication and were helpful. Would rent this again! Do note that there is one master bedroom and the rest of the "sleeping spots" are in the loft together. There are also couches on the main floor and basement for some separation. Overall had a great time and would *highly* recommend renting this spot!

Lake Stay

This was a fantastic week! My grandsons got up and started fishing at 5:30 AM every day. We played games every night. The lack of Wi-Fi was a blessing.

Great long weekend

Spent three nights with my 2 sons and their sons age 10. Great property and location. Boys loved the fishing from the deck and swimming and fishing at the state park. Very comfort accommodations for the 5 of us for a boys weekend! Played games and no one missed the internet! A good unplugged weekend. Gorgeous views from the deck!

Perfect getaway!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabin at the Cove. The cabin was so spacious and comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need. We all felt very much at home. The lake access is great and the cove is so quiet and relaxing for floating and swimming. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend!!

Great Fall Break location

My husband and I met a daughter who lives in DC and another daughter and two grandchildren from Kentucky for several days at the cabin. We hiked at the closeby rails to trails hiking trail, hiked and the kids even got in the water at the state park and we got kayaks delivered to cabin's dock for a day of kayaking. We used the grill for dinner and the kids played corn hole on the porch and we played games and worked puzzles at night. We watched some football too. It was perfect and we'd love to come back.

Beautiful home, difficult location.

The home was beautiful and well appointed as well as clean. The only issue we had was the 87 steps down to the dock, which was difficult for my veteran husband who has replaced joints. It was also hard to swim because the ladder would not stay attached to the dock, so that you could not get out with any ease. I would absolutely recommend for a beautiful place to relax but if your expectation is to be on the water, this may not be the house for you.

Relaxing

Check in was a breeze and was able to find property very easily with owner’s directions. The house was very clean and decorated very tastefully. We enjoyed the peace and quiet on the lovely wrap around deck. Swam in the cove quite a bit, the steps will definitely give you a workout. We rented a pontoon boat from Mountain2Island which I would highly recommend. It’s a beautiful lake and will likely visit again.
