We enjoyed our stay

We stayed for just on night. The cabin was nice, it's a nice old cabin, floors were squeaky and loud, but I guess that added to the charm. The only complaint is the twin beds were as hard as a rock, felt like laying on plywood. Seeing the devastation in the area was also heartbreaking. The location was perfect for us to enjoy our family in Grassy Creek.

beautiful and devastating at the same time. So much work going on to repair the infrastructure, bridges, homes and businesses. God bless and preserve these precious individuals and their homes. I’ll be back next year to see the progress and soak in the mountain air

Escape from heat and humidity of Piedmont NC

Great location. Nice to hear Big Wilson Creek in the evening. Enjoyed seeing some good sized trout in the stream, but left my flyrod at home. Lucky fish. Saw several species of birds and heard more. We love blueberry picking in nearby Grayson Highlands State Park. We worked hard for our berries, but they are worlds better tasting than domestic berries and fun to pick. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen nice to cook in. This was our second year there and we hope to return next year. Thanks to all for their work to make this a nice place to stay.

Cute little cabin

We stayed here due to it close proximity to Grayson Highlands Park. We came to go hiking but not camping in the park. This cabin was perfect for us. It was very clean and has plenty of room. I especially enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the creek. We did not cook food but the kitchen appears well stocked. Check in and check out were very easy and the host was quick to respond to any messages. I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back again.

Country quietness

Small creek adjacent from the house. It was only 2 people for the 2 bedroom plus a corner of the livingroom for the singlebed. 5 people could sleep comfortably. Quaint backporch. Kitchen was well equipped for our bring our own meals: mainly frozen dinners and deli meats. Microwave was our heat source. Didnt use the electric stove. Nearby countystore was a delight to visit. Well stock food pantry. Didn't use the store's restaurant. Look great but, we are hikers who want to spend time in the outdoors. Very close to the GraysonHighlandsStatePark but, be comfortable about driving very curvy two lane road to and from the park.

Hiking-Family Vacation

The Grey Cabin was a perfect "base camp" that we came home to each evening after we hiked in Grayson Highlands. We loved eating outside on the porch and listening to the creek as well as sitting around the fire ring at night. The location is perfect and within a very short drive of the park!

Grayson Highlands pony viewing

The gray cabin was cute, comfortable and conveniently close to Grayson Highlands State Park. I saw many ponies, including famous Fabio. Picturesque Big Wilson Creek is next door to the cabin. The mountains are beautiful. The people at the two general stores are friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cute little Cabin

Clean, perfect for our family trip to the VA Creeper trail bike ride as well as to Grayson Highlands to hike some of the AT. We didn’t get to use the onsite arcade or movie theater bc you needed change (change machine broken in the arcade) and then it was rainy so we didn’t pull our car around for a movie but still so cool to have right there and for free! Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect family vacation

As a family of 5 (toddler, 10yo, and 12yo) I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to visit the fall colors and hike. It was close to tons of hikes, the creek was a blast (my son caught a trout right away), and the arcade was great for a rainy day. The listing is a little funny because the “fireplace” is just a heater, and the “whirlpool” is just a regular tub. There aren’t any measuring cups and no big soup pot, but other than that the kitchen had what I needed. It was clean and definitely cozy. The Grayson Highlands general store (a mile away) was a delightful visit, and one of our favorite hikes was walking up Briar Run rd (road across the creek) that follows the creek up the mountain. We had a great time and would definitely return to this rental. If you do the VA Creeper Trail, I recommend Blue Blaze bike rentals in Damascus; they went above and beyond to make our day on the trail a success.

Relaxing getaway

Had a wonderful time at this cosy cabin. Plenty of blankets but never even needed the heat. Sat around the fire it was so relaxing. All the modern conveniences made our stay very comfortable. We went hiking and celebrated a birthday at a fancy restaurant in Abingdon. Fall colors were spectacular.

Just right for me and my friends

We like to visit Grayson Highlands State Park to pick blueberries at this time of year, and while we are at it, we enjoy escaping the sweltering heat and humidity of piedmont NC. The Gray Cabin was comfortable and convenient. I liked to hear and see Big Wilson Creek too. We don't need fancy, but we surely liked the nicely furnished and equipped Gray Cabin. Being close to Grayson Highlands State Park was important to us, because we like to pick blueberries there every year at this time, and getting out of the sweltering heat and humidity of the NC Piedmont is much appreciated.

Perfect Location!

My cousin and I enjoy meeting up to hike and chose this area to spend time at Grayson Highlands State Park. Heather’s little cabin was perfect, literally down the street from the S.P. And the location of the cabin was so relaxing, right next to a babbling brook…ok, it was more of a creek, but babbling brook sounds better😊 It was perfect for soaking our tired feet after a full day of hiking! The cabin was perfect and had everything we needed! Thank you!
