Beautiful Log Cabin for Rent!


After months of discussion, we've finally decided to rent our beautiful log cabin to people looking for an outstanding getaway in the woods. It's simply too nice to keep to ourselves. (And, to be honest, we can use the money for our kids' college funds!)

Our cabin is located right next door to Fairystone State Park, one of Virginia's many fantastic, award-winning parks. Fairystone is in Patrick County, ten miles from the small community of Bassett. It's also 14 miles from the town of Ferrum. Basically, it's close to many places but in the middle of nowhere at the same time.

Our cabin is three years old. It's located in a small, quiet "neighborhood" of about 20 log homes. The main floor includes a master bedroom with a queen size bed and a full master bathroom, a second full bathroom, fireplace, living room, dining room and complete kitchen. There's a deck in the back and a great covered porch in the front. Upstairs, two lofts have two single beds each.

Log "cabin" may be misleading. It's really a log "home." New and comfortable. No phone and cell service is spotty inside the cabin. No internet, either. Staying here means being unplugged. But, it's comfortable. A flat screen with over 100 DVDs, CD player and radio, air conditioning, microwave, dishes, silverware, cookware, etc. We provide everything except for food and toiletries.

We know the economy is making it tough for many people to take a break and get away. So, we decided to charge rates similar to those charged for the cabins in the state park next door. However, the experience in our cabin is different. The cabins in the park are smaller and rustic. Ours is bigger and modern.

Our rates are $625 for one week (Saturday to Saturday). Three-day weekends are $275. A two-night weekend stay is $190. We ask that your family or group consist of four or fewer people. No pets. No smoking. Please e-mail us at logcabin@embarqmail.com if you are interested or have any questions.

So, why a blog? When people like you aren't staying in the cabin, we probably will be there---at least on weekends. So, I thought I would tell you about the cabin and the area by blogging after each one of our visits. I'll write about the hiking, music, food, nearby towns, sites, and all the cabin and surrounding area have to offer. I hope you enjoy the blog and I hope you'll think about staying at our log home. There is no better way to relax and re-charge your batteries. Thanks.
