Cabin on Mountain Stream, Surrounded by Forest

Answer the call of the wild at this peaceful McDowell Village retreat! This rustic yet cozy cabin is an outdoor lover’s playground, offering modern comforts wrapped in warm wood tones. Sip your morning coffee on the porch, then step out to drop a line into the rushing trout stream. Spend adrenaline-fueled afternoons rock climbing, fishing, or exploring Highland County, known as 'Little Switzerland of Virginia.' Then retreat to 10 acres of whispering pines for a night of pure, unplugged bliss.

I loved this place I needed to get away and have some time alone. This place was just what I needed. The fire pit outside was perfect and the stove inside was perfect on a cool fall evening.

The cabin was super cozy! The gas heater was such a great added touch! It stayed warm and toasty inside while it snowed outside! The bed was super comfortable & I really loved the spacious shower! Very secluded! Perfect for a low key getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life!

I agree with the other reviewers- this place is outstanding. I would love to return to see it in all four seasons! We loved sitting on the porch and watching the creek roll by during a thunderstorm. The two bedrooms downstairs are lovely, and I also found the futon very comfortable to sleep on.

Perfect little getaway

We could not have asked for a better stay at Clearwater Cabin! It had mostly everything we could need and more. The property is beautiful and private with trout stream running along side it. We will most certainly return for a visit in the warmer months!
