Cabin vacation rentals in Peaks of Otter

While having a friend visiting from the busy city of Fort Worth Tx, and having never been to Virginia, John’s place was everything and more. Perfect for a quiet nature surrounded vacation and privacy to match. Very responsive host, great nearby restaurants, and near the beautiful SML. Great place to end a great trip! Will book again in the future

We loved our stay here! Upon arrival we were met with a perfectly clean place alongside free snacks and other amenities. The unique style of the cabin by itself made it a fun stay but combined with how well kept Gretchen had the place and all the fun things to do in the cabin made it an outstanding stay.

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

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 had a great stay celebrating our 10 year anniversary and also a birthday. The house has everything you could need and we loved cooking on the grill and loved that the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. The house is the perfect layout for kids and dogs as well and the hot tub felt amazing after we hiked Crabtree Falls. The proximity to town and the local pie shop was perfect. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to come stay again.

My fiance and I were able to book the cabin for a last minute weekend getaway. The house was very clean, cute and perfect for what we needed. Our dog enjoyed the big fenced in yard, and we enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. We had everything we needed to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner (bring your own seasonings though), and got restful sleep! We were beyond grateful to enjoy this home for the weekend! The biggest complaints on the reviews are the wifi and the driveway... we didn't have any issues with either personally.. but if you're afraid to get your car dirty or need to work the whole trip, maybe pick something closer to town.. otherwise its perfect to unplug and unwind!

This place was heavenly! The home is beautiful, the amenities Taylor provides are endless (spices, towels, toiletries, etc), and we had such a fun stay here. It rained for most of our stay but the covered patio allowed us to still spend hours outside. When we weren’t on the porch we were using the game room or cuddled up on the couch. We cannot wait to come back. If you have a chance- eat at Vinny’s! We went back 2x

Hands down the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. There’s something magical and indescribable about the place. If you get the chance, absolutely stay here!

We really enjoyed our weekend at Cruising Altitude. The cabin was situated on the slope along a quiet inlet of the lake. It had a large deck under the shade of trees, perfect for sitting. The cabin was cozy and clean. I would stay there again.

Our stay was very relaxing. Alicia was very attentive and quick to respond to our messages. I would recommend her cabin to family and friends.

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).

The cabin is rustic. It's set on top of a hill in an opening in the woods on an active sheep farm. The views from the farm are stunning. It couldn't be any more private and any more beautiful. The front porch was ideal for enjoying a cup of morning tea. The bedroom comfortably fits two people. The loft is spacious and fits 1-2 people. Sarah was a very responsive, kind, and accommodating hostess. She welcomed us with some of her own farm fresh eggs, tasty homemade blueberry muffins, juice, creamer, and coffee. The cabin is located 10-12 minutes from downtown Lexington. The bathroom could be more private, but I would definitely rent the cabin again and Sarah was fantastic.

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!

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.

We had a wonderful weekend get away with our 3.5 year old son. Great to unplug, wind down and relax. We had fun watching the cows, sunsets and sunrises. We brought food with us, and found the kitchen to supply our minimal needs. Some nice touches such as good coffee, creamers and nice dish and body soaps and soaks. Good linens are Provided also.

Such a beautiful location away from the hustle and bustle. Twas very nice to not even be able to hear cars in the distance.

The river house was really beautiful and so peaceful, the birds and the trickling water really refreshed me for a while after I left, and I am hoping to stay again at some point this summer. My house for a very patient with all my questions and very kind.

super cute tiny home ftw ! Stephen was an exceptionally attentive and generous host. the home was cozy and intimate , perfect for my stay with my fiancé. the surrounding area was so peaceful (it rained pretty hard through the weekend we stayed). would 100% recommend to travelers and partners !

Stay was great. Hike up to Crabtree falls was amazing. Definitely a great place to disconnect from the phone with no WiFi and connect to each other and nature . Beautiful property!

My son and I had the best time staying at the black water junction cabin. We fell in love with the view, the animals, and the atmosphere. The cabin was spotless and fully stocked with anything we could have needed. The binder telling all of the history and little unique additions was so interesting! The bed was comfy, the towels were heated, and there were fresh eggs in the fridge. The hosts are so friendly and so quick to answer any questions I had. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will definitely be back!

We loved being at the end of the road in this quaint cottage...it was absolutely quiet and private and the wildlife was abundant. Several deer came through the yard, some with fawns, some with antlers...we hear a bear came through just before we arrived! There were hummingbirds, fireflies and an active bird nest where we watched the mother/father tending the babies on the back porch! We never turned on the TV because we couldn't wait to see what might happen next. The Greenbrier Trail is .3 miles down a gravel road and there were swimming holes along the path as well as gorge/rock walls and gorgeous forest. We were 15 minutes from Lewisburg which is such a fascinating historical town...we loved Stardust and Corn+Flour for meals. Don't miss swimming at the Blue Bend and Bluestone Lake...also, Lucky Rivers in Hinton (best food!). Be sure to go to the Canyon Rim Visitors to see the magnificent New River Gorge. We can't wait to come back. Lorrie was a wonderful host.

This was a beautiful experience for us. We loved this gem of an Airbnb, giving a grand adventure from the trip there to the fire under starry night sky. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked and extremely helpful. The cabin itself was very attractive and clean. The location was private and surrounded by nature, which is just what we were hoping for. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay!

Absolutely a great place for a quiet, peaceful getaway. Rented a boat and docked it right at the cabin, the cabin had everything we needed, and the lake is beautiful to be on!

Sarah’s place is simply adorable! My husband and I felt right at home and wished we could have stayed longer. We loved it and hope to come back again soon.
