Cabin in Shady Valley

Scott Hill Cabin #3

You’ll love Scott Hill Cabin because of the view, ambience, and location. There are brochures in the cabin to see what options our area has for you. The actual address of the cabin is 1166 Orchard Road. We allow pets, but just ask for prior knowledge. We are just minutes from 2 separate trailheads to the Appalachian Trail. Despite the listing saying 2 beds, it is in fact, 1 double bed. Sorry for the listing mistake. We want to extend a military discount to our past and present service members.

JamesRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

10/10 stay, better then the pictures, would deff stay again. Loved the trails and the views. Perfect space for a couples retreat. He had someone else staying on the other rental property while we were there but we didn’t see him not once! We ordered out food for 1 night and cooked the others. The city/town was great and super quiet and chill. Would definitely come back to enjoy a little time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. JOHN AND HIS WIFE ARE VERY COMMUNICATIVE. Responded promptly when I faced with some scheduling issues before leaving for me trip. BOOK YOUR STAY! WELL WORTH IT! Looking into a tiny home now lol!!!!

Incredible value! We had rock climbers/boulderers with us and have never been so close to roadside boulder problems. The telescope and mountain vista made it the perfect place to unwind after a day of climbing.

Even better than the photos! We spent most of our time on the patio with great seating, lovely view, hummingbirds visiting and in the fantastic hot tub! Our dogs LOVED the open grass to run in. The beds were comfy and cozy and the kitchen/bathroom were very well stocked.

RobinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Melissa was a great host and we loved our little cottage- so many charing touches. We liked it so much that we could have stayed there all day: reading, playing the guitar and sitting on a porch swing. If you want to get away from the rat race and city life, you will love it.

Lovely space! You cannot beat the views at this location. It was so lovely to wake up to the beautiful fields and seeing the cute cows alongside the fence. The cabin was so peaceful and so cute! It was very warm and homey! It was well stocked with everything you need. The communication between us and the owners was so helpful and they were super responsive. Very kind and understanding! I 100% recommend and we hope to return soon.

Ketron's Corner 4 beds, 3 bath and 12 guests

BrianRating, 5 stars1 week ago

If "cleanliness is next to godliness," then this place is almost heaven. For our two families meeting for a long weekend together, this had everything we needed and more for indoor and outdoor enjoyment. It's thoughtfully done. The gameroom and climbable trees kept our kids occupied a great deal, and there were plenty of beds. Upstairs the bathroom situation is a little funky as there is only one private bath and no "hall bath," but there are sinks in several other rooms and it's just part of being in an old house. Well cleaned and well kept, I highly recommend Curtis' place.

A serene riverside scene showcases two hammocks suspended between trees, inviting relaxation. The lush greenery surrounds the banks of the flowing river, with rocks visible in the calm water. Comfortable cushions on the hammock provide a cozy spot to unwind amidst nature.

Riverfront Hot Tub in Damascus

MarkRating, 5 stars1 week ago

You know you have a good house when you actually tear up a little when you have to leave. Our family had the most relaxing, slow, adventurous, memory-making trip and so much of it was because of this house. Molly really has thought of everything. From playing checkers in the living room and splashing in the hot tub to skipping rocks and having a bonfire, truly this house is magical. Molly hasn’t skimped on anything. We loved exploring Damascus, Abingdon, Grayson Highlands State Park, Hungry Mother State Park during our visit. The Virginia Creeper trail provided needed serenity. The Wicked Chicken was a great place to get dinner and ice cream and listen to live music as we watched AT hikers pass by. Damascus Diner was some of the best breakfast food we’ve ever had. The kids all agree that the hot tub, fluffy beds, games, and exploring by the creek were their favorite parts of the week. Next time we come this way, this is the house we will choose, 100% of the time.
