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.

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!

Beautiful property! Loved being able to have my dog with me on my trip :). Cozy cabin, very clean and homey! Checkin was smooth, and any questions I had, recieved very fast responses by the host! Stress free, would stay again!

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!

I don’t have words on how to thank Chris and Amy, With the first message, I exchange with Crish I realized that I am on a good hand! The good vibes came from his first message assuring me that I’ll have the greatest customer experience during our stay and for sure we did. I Can’t ask for better than this. We absolutely build our lifelong great memories. Amy is very kind and professional! she is definitely on the top of her game and she knows how to take care of her clients. Love it ! can’t wait to go back and try another location of theirs . I highly recommend to go spend time and build those memories of life with your loved ones.

The house was perfect for our group of three families; it was beautifully laid out and we enjoyed the spaces throughout. The game room was fun for both the kids and adults, and the kitchen is well stocked which was really important for our group. Mike was a pleasure to interact with and very helpful. We only stayed for two nights but all wished we had one more night!

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 wonderful time with friends at Candice's place. The pool and hot tub were such a nice touch. We decided to not go out and instead have a cookout on the charcoal grill on Saturday. We could not have enjoyed our time more. The place was spotless and extremely peaceful. Candice gave great suggestions and was responsive.

My family and I were looking for a place away from the fast pace and noise of our day to day routine and this place did not disappoint. With the lovely river running right out front, a beautiful waterfall trail literally next door, the fun pool, and relaxing jacuzzi we never had a dull moment. The place was a great size where we can enjoy family time but also have our personal space to unwind. If you are thinking of booking, don’t think just do it because it was truly amazing!

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!

Spent New Year's with my husband and two Yorkies nestled deep in the woods, and it was everything I hoped for—and more! The property is surrounded by towering trees, offering a sense of tranquility and seclusion that's hard to come by. The bed deserves a special mention— it was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! We spent all three days hiking some of the best trails and relaxed comfortably watching TV in the evenings with a nice glass of Malbec. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort, this Airbnb is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be returning! Thank you Jerry and Chris.

Great complex and private getaway! Owner was very welcoming and the grounds are beautiful.

Great place to get away. Location is in the quiet, peaceful countryside with spectacular views of the James River as well as the mountains.

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!

All I can say is wow! I booked Rebecca's place as a one-night stop for a group of us from the UK on a short road trip in Shenandoah. I was hopeful that it would be a good stay based on the photos and description, but I don't think any of us expected how wonderfully cosy, rustic and yet clean and comfortable it would be! There were so many small touches to help us enjoy the stay - for example the fire pit already had logs and kindling arranged and Rebecca had even left S'mores out, so we enjoyed a great night sitting around the fire toasting these and even saw a firefly! Our only regret we all agreed was that we hadn't booked to stay longer - given the location right in between Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway this is THE place to stay when visiting the area!

It rained the entire stay. While we had expected better weather, you cannot beat the windows and the sound of the rain on the roof, for a great getaway atmosphere. We loved it.
