Cabin vacation rentals in Sherando Lake

Leora's place is one of about 8 rustic cottages around a small lake adjacent to what appears to be a dairy/cattle farm. (One of the cows found a way through the fencing and wandered peacefully around the cabins 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there! There is a beautiful 2.0 mile loop walking trail around the property, as well as free use of canoes and mountain bikes. It is very beautiful, peaceful, and pet-friendly! There are a number of nice hiking trails within a short drive. We visited in March when it got quite cold at night and in the early morning. There is a good natural gas heater in the main room, and a portable plug-in heater in the bedroom (both worked fine, esp. after I figured out the controls on the latter unit). The cabins are said to have window AC units when needed, but they were not in evidence when we were there, nor were they needed. Leora was very welcoming and responsive & we highly recommend her place!

I cannot count how many times we’ve stayed at Montfair. Heck, my wife and I got married there in July of 23! This is our home away from home which is a short ride from Richmond, yet worlds away. Thank you again for hosting us. We had an excellent end to Spring break at Loblolly. Until next time.

I would 1000% recommend that you take the opportunity to stay here. The location is breathtaking, the vibe is immaculate, and the cabin was perfect for me, me wife, and our two puppies. I will definitely be coming back. It is worth noting that there is a moderate pet fee I didn't realize until after booking, but it is still completely worth it. Happy trails :)

A gorgeous location and a lovely “summer camp” feel to the cabin. Really feels like you’re away from it all while also being 20-30 mins from Charlottesville. Perfect. Will be back!

We had an amazing stay at the cabin! It was the perfect blend of cozy and adventurous, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was peaceful and secluded, yet still close enough to the adorable local town. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We especially loved the outdoor areas with its beautiful views – perfect for morning coffee and evening stargazing. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

Really valuable spot… Amazing views, very peaceful setting, and very responsive host. Highly recommend and we do plan to return!!

great place, quiet and clean. Maryam was very helpful with checkin time to accomodate an injured, elderly family member that wanted to see his grand daughter graduate from JMU.

Great location for a summer trip to the area! Lots of amenities in the house and just as described.

My family and I loved this air bnb! It was private, clean and had everything that we needed. Loved the fire pit and the hot tub, beds were comfy and towels were soft. Great communication with the owners. If you are looking for a nice get away with lots of privacy and to be able to relax this place is it! If we are ever in the area again would love to stay in this beautiful cabin in the woods.

What a gorgeous setting for a restful retreat. All of the necessary extra items such as snacks and handy items were in place for us and Jaclyn was a responsive host. The beds were nice and comfortable and we felt right at home. We will book again!

This place was as described. We loved the layout of the house and the decor. Everything in the house is labeled (so you don’t have to guess which light switch to use), wonderful view, and private. The host is very responsive and proactive! The directions to the property were clear and all instructions were laid out in advance. Thank you for a great stay - we will definitely be back.

We were looking for a cabin, hoping to find a quiet place to rest, relax and recharge in nature. We never dreamed that we would find an authentic 18th century cabin located in the forest on a mountain top - with an excellent view of the surrounding mountains. The inside of the cabin was beautifully furnished as would be expected in colonial Virginia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the experience of stepping back in time.

We enjoyed our stay! It was nice & quiet, listening nature on the porch and using the hot tub was a couple of our favorites.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! My friends and I loved the hot tub and pool while listening to the sounds of the creek running close by. Such a cool fun place.

One of the best places to stay! The home was beautiful and so comfortable and the instructions easily accessible through their online welcome guide.

The cabin was adorable and very close to some great hiking trails. It was very convenient having the general store so close. I really appreciate being able to bring my dog! I hope to stay at The Chimneys again. Thanks for everything!

Words cannot describe the feeling of pure calm that comes over you when you arrive. This place is truly a treasure hidden in the woods. Once you cross the creek you leave the world and all your cares behind. The host pays attention to all the little details and it shows. We have stayed at quite a few places but this one is on our return list. We look forward to sliding up for a long weekend in the late fall or early winter. (Tip- be sure to spend 15 min reading the welcome package it is time well spent).

We stayed here for a wedding in Charlottesville and, while the cabin was a bit out of the way from where most guests were staying in town, it ended up being the best decision we made. Our group was too large for hotel rooms, and this cabin gave us the perfect place to spread out and relax. We honestly wished we had more time to enjoy the space itself—it's ideal for a peaceful getaway weekend. Unfortunately, wedding events kept us running around, but we could easily see ourselves coming back just to unwind and take it all in. The property offers plenty to do, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. A couple of small suggestions that would’ve helped us (specifically as guests getting ready for a wedding): a full-length mirror in the downstairs bathroom and some brighter lighting in the bathrooms for hair and makeup. That said, these things wouldn’t be an issue for a regular weekend trip. Overall, a charming cabin that we hope to return to when we can truly enjoy it!

would book again.

We loved the large deck with incredible views! There is another property very close to this one so wasn’t as secluded as we had hoped but overall we loved our stay here. Go check out Eagle Zen Winery if you have the chance.

I’d argue that this is one of the best places to stay in Wintergreen. The cabin itself is perfect. We are a young family and it was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The location is also perfect. It is very close to all the attractions on the resort. Clay was a great host as well. The perfect amount of communication; engaged without being intrusive. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to be sure their trip is easy and successful!

If your looking for a peaceful location with beautiful views and the feeling of home this is the place to go! Rebecca was excellent communicator and very descriptive in her instruction manual. Everything you needed to know was right there. Rebecca goes the extra mile to make sure you have what you would normally need at home. The cabin itself was clean and cozy. The record and selection are awesome and we finished two puzzles while there. Atari was a huge hit! The creek in the backyard was our favorite feature, we even saw an eastern box turtle. All in all it was fantastic and we will definitely be back again.

The cabin was so quaint & quiet. We loved hearing all the birds singing
