Beautiful, well-kept, thoughtful details

The property is beautiful and bigger than expected. House and yard kept with care. Outdoor space very relaxing and many spaces to sit and enjoy the view of the river. Great place for a getaway.

My Dream Vacation!

My Dream Vacation! We so love your log cabin/red house and all of the thoughtfulness of the endearing decor. It is the most peaceful place I have ever been and I just love being in the middle of a wildlife refuge surrounded by the woods, mountains and lake....my little piece of Heaven! Our Beagle pups, Jax and Bella, became Boat Beagles on this trip! This is amazing because they get car sick but oh how they love the pontoon boat we rented from Pete! Another new adventure for them was playing on your grassy hill! We have a very flat lot and they absolutely LOVE to run and slide down your hill! We loved the docks, fishing and canoeing...Especially my husband! We loved boating all day and made our way through most of the big water on SML. I have family and friends in Lynchburg and Evington so it was great that they were so close and able to come down for a day and enjoy some vacation time with us as well! None of us wanted to go home! And we long for next year when we get to visit again! Thanks so much for opening up your beautiful, little piece of Heaven to us :)

Perfect cabin to relax!

My family and I stayed to celebrate Thanksgiving. What a fantastic, clean, remote, relaxing getaway weekend! This cabin is perfect. Camp fires, hot tub, canoeing, and an excellent opportunity to separate from work for a bit.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

We were looking for a quiet place to get away with friends and our dog despite the pandemic and this was the perfect spot...pretty fall color, fenced yard, games, lake equipment, grill, fireplaces....It was so quiet we could hear the leaves falling. We enjoyed the cabin and property so much that we didn't leave the entire week.

Wonderful getaway

This property exceeded my expectations. We selected this property based on it’s location, it’s amenities and the fenced yard. It is a wonderful house inside and out. Thank you to the owner for providing dog lovers with a safe place to take their pups. Thank you for the baby gates which we used at the top of the deck steps. We walked at the state park several days and rented a boat another day. We would definitely return for another getaway.

Relax with your dogs

This property is a fantastic place to stay if you love your dogs!! The entire place is fenced in! It has a large, beautiful lawn with a perfect view of the lake. The bed was very comfortable. It has so many things to do right at the house. We enjoyed archery, pool table, ping pong, darts, horse shoes, paddle boarding, but much much more is available! The hot tube is wonderful! Fantastic place to relax!!

Wonderful late October stay

My dog, Winnie, and I had a wonderful time staying at the Log Cabin Retreat in late October 2019. The house was plenty big for the two of us (plus a friend who visited for the day over the weekend), but well worth the price tag for the view and fenced in property. My city dog barely knew what to do with all the space! We had a perfect mix of sunny and rainy days and were able to spend most of our days out on the various decks taking in the view of the fall leaves changing across the lake. We had a bad storm one night that knocked down a section of the fence. Winnie was very grateful for the responsive and kind maintenance staff who came out quickly and re-posted the fence so that she could run around on her birthday! The house is well-stocked with all the cookware/utensils you could ever need. One word of caution to future guests--the smoke alarms in the hallway off the kitchen and two bedrooms are very sensitive (one went off when I was boiling water!), so you'll want to have someone tall on standby to shut them off if they're triggered. Too sensitive is better than not sensitive at all, so this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience and encouraged me to cook most of my meals outside on the wonderfully maintained grill, which also has a gas burner on the side for anything you may not want to grill. I was exceptionally impressed with the upkeep of the yard, especially because it is a dog-friendly property. Future guests, please do your part to keep the home and yard clean so that we can all continue to bring our dogs here in the future! Winnie and I are very much looking forward to returning next year!

The perfect lakefront cabin

Thank you for the most relaxing vacation we have had in many years. The cabin has all of the amenities you could ever need. We loved the well-stocked kitchen and modern appliances. The location on the lake is perfect, and the property is beautiful. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring our dogs, the fenced in yard was awesome!!!

Great home, with plentiful amenities and wonderful location

Overall we had an amazing stay at this home. It is located in a very quiet development where you can go for walks, runs, or bike ride without worrying about traffic. Note, however, that you will get a workout as the development is hilly. The home itself is a charming cottage with very good amenities and all the toys one needs to play in the lake. Beds were very comfortable, furniture cozy and everything worked as it should. Couple notes for consideration to future renters; the house sits on a slope which makes one feel like they are in a tree house overlooking the lake, however, that also means that it is a challenge to walk up and down the hill from the house to the docks, carrying all the water essentials, food, or other items. Think of it as a great leg workout. The home has plenty of deck space by the house and on the lake, with plentiful seating and various nooks and crannies for relaxation. The fenced in yard is appreciated if one has a dog that can freely run around. The fire pit is perfect for roasting s’mores and enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. The owner is very responsive and ensures that your vacation will be a stress free one. The house is stocked with everything needed to cook and the homeowner even provides starting provisions and other items. Nice touch was the bottle of wine. If you are looking for a home where you can disconnect, be located in a quiet neighborhood, enjoy. a country cottage feel with all the water toys.....this rental is for you.

Beautiful cabin, great location and view. Stayed 10/16-21/2017

We totally enjoyed our stay. The cabin had all the amenities you could need. The weather was perfect. Some of us even got out on the water for a kayak ride. Our dogs loved the large fenced in yard. It made our trip seeing them enjoy running around and playing together. It was so peaceful, we enjoyed sitting out at night and star gazing. Couldn't have asked for a better week away from all the madness. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us. Jean, Jim, Woodrow and Brandy

Fun time.

This home is absolutely beautiful. The location Is beautiful also. The only downside to this home is having to bring your own linens. We have stayed in VRBOs in Maine, Georgia, Bahamas, California, even Lynchburg Virginia and several other states and have never had to bring our own linens. I understand that you can rent the linens but they we expensive and had to be ordered a month in advance. Other than this, there were no other complaints.

AMAZING TIME !!!

We have been coming to the Log Cabin for over ten years now. We love this place and would highly recommend to any family or couple. We have been other places around the country and have to say that we ALWAYS come back to the Log Cabin. Peaceful, serene, and very homey. !!! Our dogs love it also. The owners keep the place equipped with everything you could possibly need. The home is clean and comfortable for all. This year we rented a boat for the first time on the lake and it was a real asset to the vacation. But even without a boat we have enjoyed our many stays at the Log Cabin Retreat. Lots to do and see. Will be back again without a doubt. The Manwillers (Berks County, Pa.)

This home has everything!!!

Our recent stay at this home was one of the best experiences we've ever had renting. This home has everything you can ever imagine to keep you busy as well as a stocked kitchen. I mean stocked! If you still cook on vacation this place is great. The appliances are all up to date, the house was clean, and there was a kayak and a few paddle boards that my daughters loved. The fire pit was fun and there are so many decks, chairs and loungers to choose from. I can't say enough great things about this rental. Maybe top on my list was knowing my two dogs could run free in the fenced yard and I didn't worry about them running off! This means the world! I highly recommend this home!

A sliver of heaven amidst the summer swelter

Yet again, this place did not disappoint. Really enjoyed getting to experience a warm summer stay (...and the benefits the lake offers for that weather reality!). Can't wait to book the next trip - hopefully this fall. Thanks again...next time we'll coordinate for a longer stay to immerse ourselves more fully into the SML state of mind.

Quiet well maintained vacation home

Second stay here. Property is very well maintained. Pretty location on secluded cove. Nice fenced in yard for the dogs. Very nice touches that clearly indicate this is also someone's home. Loved hearing the whippoorwills at night.

10/27-10/31 Peaceful & Perfect!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. This property is exactly the way the site says it is. Running around in the backyard was perfect for our dog Daisy. The docks, the use of canoes were so easily accessible. The house was immaculate and well taken care of. We enjoyed the quietness of late October while playing scrabble in the screened porch, grilling nightly, making breakfast every morning in the well equipped kitchen and just relaxing and fishing down at the lake. The hot tub was clean and set at the right temperature for our early morning dip. It was a big house for just the two of us and our dog, but it was the perfect getaway (just not long enough). It was lady bug mating season, so we were greeted by hundreds of lady bugs and one flew in my ear and came out 45 minutes later. I think that means I'll have good luck for quite some time. Thanks again Leslie, Cheers to you! Bill, Brittany & Daisy, Richmond, VA

Wonderful respite from a chaotic world!

Three couples and pooches hung here for a crisp November weekend. Air was crisp, nights were spectacular and bonds of friendship bolstered over fire, conservation, cooking and commiserating. Lovely place. We hope to return and repeat...

It's a GREAT PLACE!

Humans and Canines really enjoyed everything about the property and had a great time. We had a boat delivered and picked up at the dock. It was a very smart rental process with all the information you could need about the home, the area attractions etc. The house and lake are beautiful. Highly recommend.
