Plan to Come Back Next Year – More If We Can

We truly enjoyed our stay at Cabin Creekwood!  I won this stay at the Southern Women’s Show in Richmond this past year, and have been excited about coming ever since.  This stay has definitely lived up to our expectations and we plan to come back for a week the same time next year (more often […]

Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Although the bulk of the leaves have already fallen or turned brown, this time of year is perfect for taking a hike.  Crunchy leaves and bare trees mean that wildlife are easier to spot, and that views through the woods are more open.  Whether your preference is waterfalls, lakes, scenic vistas, or simply a walk […]

Sherando Lake Was Great

This was our first time here and totally spur of the moment.  we are so glad we came and we wish it could have been longer.   We have enjoyed the closeness staying here has brought us and we definitely plan to come back again.   We all enjoyed the pool and roasting marshmallows on […]

Fall Foliage Report – Still Lots of Color

Even though many of the leaves are starting to turn brown, and others are turning loose, there is still plenty of fall foliage color to be seen in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.  Many places, you’ll find trees that are a little later turning than others, whether because of species, elevation, or location.  Regardless […]

Can’t Wait To Return!

Cabin Creekwood is a beautiful place to escape to. We stayed at Cabin Logwood, which lent itself as a cozy romantic hide away. This log cabin was fully furnished, included a kitchen with more than the necessities, and provided an indoor fire place and gas furnace. We enjoyed the cute back porch swing overlooking the […]

Thank you for this lovely spot…

Thanks for another visit to Cabin Creekwood (Mountainwood).  We’ve once again relaxed, refreshed our beings, and had our souls restored in this beatiful setting in the Blue Ridge.  We re-visited someof our favorite hikes we did back in 2005 in our month-long sojourn with you.  The AT Trail south from Reeds Gap and White Rock […]

Expected a Shack–Found a Well-Furnished Home

The five of us college students expected a shack at the great price we found for a place to stay in the beaturiful blue ridge mountains.  Instead, we found a nice home with every room filled with homey decorations and comfortably rustic furniture.   Although we were far from our busy college lives there was […]

How To See the Best Colors of Fall Foliage

Fall Foliage in the Blue Ridge Mountains – it just doesn’t get any better than that!  The autumn colors are in full swing, and the crisp cool nights make it really feel like fall.   We often have people ask “When is the peak?” as if it can be narrowed down to a specific day.  […]

Thanks for Sharing a Wonderful True American Experience!

We want to thank you for such a wondeful cabin and sharing it with us.   This is my first trip with my friends and family (my 17 month old).  We could tell from my daughter’s reaction how much she liked the place.  She just uttered “nice” with her beautiful 4-tooth smile.   We really […]
