Wonderful cabin in a very quiet area. Property was just right for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids under 5). Fishing, nearby hiking, and a wonderful furry companion, Monster, kept the kids busy and happy the entire time!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay , took several beautiful hikes around the property and caught(released) several fish . Hosts are onsite but are super friendly and leave guests to enjoy their stay . Owners have also installed privacy screens / shrubbery to add further privacy . Can’t wait to book our next trip !

Wonderful lake gateaway

I traveled here with my six-year-old boy, and he loved it. The property is by a lake and we had the opportunity to go out on the water. At the end of our stay, the property owner even gave us vegetables from her garden. My son loved the stay so much that he drew pictures of the property days after our visit. It left quite an impression and we would love to book again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Quiet Cabin

This property is great if you are looking for a quiet weekend away within driving distance to the mountains. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners live on the property nearby and were very welcoming. Be prepared for minimal cell service (Verizon was on SOS mode, T-mobile had 1-2 bars). Scottsville is a 15 minute drive away and had a food lion and several places to visit. Had a wonderful time, thank you!

Great escape!

Serene, quiet, and quaint. Not the place to go if you want cell service. The hosts home is close, but we didnt see them other than passing in the driveway. Cozy cabin feel, sweet kitty out in the gardens, if you want to escape the world of technology, its a fantastic stay.

Great place

We arrived to a cute cabin with a wonderful lake. We found a complementary basket with snacks and other stuff. The cabin was clean, nice view of lake. My mom and brother and nephew was delighted to go fishing right outside the door. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of room and amenities. We loved it. If we are ever in this area again we will definitely love to rent this place again. OK

This was a very cute little place. The beds were very comfortable! My friends and I had a lovely and quiet girls’ weekend.

The cabin was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and we were even able to bake a birthday cake in the air fryer. The water is just beautiful and we enjoyed a night by the fire. I do wish we’d known ahead of time just how close the host’s home was to our place. I think a little fence between the houses would help guests feel like they had more privacy. That being said, we were left alone and really enjoyed our stay!

Hidden Lake is truly a hidden gem, offering a park-like setting that feels both peaceful and serene from the moment you arrive. The property looks out across a beautiful lake with a spectacular island in the center, and it’s clear the owners are meticulously curating and pruning the grounds to maintain its natural charm. During my stay, I spent hours watching a herd of deer quietly feeding across the lake—an unforgettable sight that added to the retreat-like atmosphere. The experience was made even warmer by the sweet animals roaming the property, especially Lucious, the friendly dog, along with a charming cat who both made me feel right at home. The owners went out of their way to ensure I had a wonderful stay, and their kindness and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of this property. Hidden Lake truly offers the perfect combination of comfort, natural beauty, and hospitality.

Fantastic getaway

This property is as remote and lovely as the pictures show it. The nearest town is a quick 15 minutes away (Scottsville) and has great restaurants, an adorable bakery, and a wonderful book/coffee shop. Thirty minutes further you are in the downtown of Charlottesville and have a variety of options to entertain yourself. I would highly recommend this property for those who are looking to be off the grid, but not too far from civilization. The owner was super responsive to any questions we had and also provided a lovely welcome basket for us. Clean, comfortable, and very relaxing!

Our stay was from 8/6 to 8/9. This cabin is wonderful. it's on a small lake. If you are looking for quiet, this is the place. The cabin was spotless, and we enjoyed the way it was constructed. You would have to see it to appreciate the detail. Thanks to the owners. DJ & Dani

This is a fantastic getaway. The pond is very serene and the night time sounds from the wildlife are incredible. When we checked in there were at least 15 wasp flying around in the cabin for us to chase down and eliminate. For the next 2 days we killed several each day. It’s in the woods but beware if you have allergies to bees/wasp. There was also old coffee in the coffee pot. Outside of that, the cabin was cozy and clean. While fishing, we were approached by a huge Rottweiler owned by the host. He is a gentle giant with a personality just as big as his size. We were delighted to have his company but understand that an encounter with him could be intimidating for anyone who’s scared of dogs. Our last night there the hot water stopped working. We called the host and didn’t receive an answer (although it was 9:30 PM). It was frustrating after spending all day hiking trails in the nearby mountains and fishing. Overall, a good experience and the host is very nice. This is a great getaway if you want to escape the city. It’s very secluded. I would recommend taking food, and water because there isn’t anything close for your convenience.

Cute and quiet!

My husband and I stayed in this cute cabin for our 10 year anniversary. It was very cozy, super clean, and in the perfect location! The trails were nice, so bring shoes you don’t mind getting red clay on. There isn’t internet so if you want to watch movies I would suggest downloading them before you arrive. Also let family know you won’t have cell service while at the cabin. But it was honestly nice to put phones away and just enjoy the time. We very much enjoyed the visit and have talked about coming back!

Awesome isolation

Beautiful cabin lakeside with great fishing (catch and release only). Very comfortable and everything was there for you. I recommend shopping for groceries before you get there. The only drawback is that you are completely communications isolated. There’s no WiFi or phone service and no landline. Thankfully we didn’t have an emergency of any kind. The owner’s house is close by, but they weren’t home when we were there.
