Overall really nice experience. Enjoyed relaxing and spending time with the family. Kids enjoyed the swing and board games. Patio area and firepit were the highlight of our trip. Cabin decor is welcoming and cabin is well stocked with basic essentials. Cabin could use some deep cleaning around base boards, corners, under furniture, and ceilings. Photos on VRBO are outdated. Kitchen has been updated with new cabinets and appliances. Pictures of the creek were misleading. The creek behind the property had little to no water and was disappointing. The pictures show a flowing stream of water with a higher water level. Recommend adding a stackable washer and dryer in the larger bathroom. Nice getaway with beautiful scenery. We would definitely return again.
We loved being here for a weekend with our kids. We enjoyed the tree swing, the amazing firepit area, and the awesome creek access right behind the property! You are less than an easy 18min drive to trails, a cidery and devils backbone brewery! The cabin is rustic but worked for our little getaway. The beds are emmeory foam and comfortable.They have all the amenities you need and we ALL enjoyed the stay! We will be back here for another weekend getaway!
This was a beautiful little country rustic home. It was cozy inside and outside. It is a mountain retreat. Stop by the store for groceries before you go check in. The only thing I would change is to some tv channels. The two bedrooms are connected by a door.
Beautiful setting with Stone filled brook out the back door. Very close to several hikes including Crabtree falls. Many wineries, cideries and breweries to visit. Kitchen was well stocked. Grill easy to use and wood provided for wood stove and outdoor fire pit. They have WiFi but no smart tv. Occasional pack of barking dogs and heavy equipment noise in neighborhood.
Loved the Spicewood Cabin. Perfectly placed near hiking and breweries.Sitting near the fire pit long into the night is a major perk. Cabin was extremely clean as well..
We had a great stay at your cabin. It was exactly as shown online, clean, and full stocked with everything needed. It is located to so many great things to explore- hiking at Cascade Falls, Montebello for fishing and taking a horseback trail ride, short drive to Natural Bridge State park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved listening to the creek running out back while sitting either on the screened porch, the back deck, or out by the campfire. Thanks for all of the great recommendations on things to do while we were there. Communication was great. We loved your cabin and hope to stay again if we return to the area. Many thanks!
We had a great time. The house and property was perfect for our family of four. Close to Appalachian Trail and tons of breweries, wineries, and cideries. We enjoyed the day out exploring and then chilling around backyard fire in the evening. Definitely recommend staying here.
Cabin was small but adorable. Was nestled in the woods with creeks nearby. Stream wasnât super full when we were there but you can hear the stream behind the trees when sitting outside! The beds were comfy, kitchen was stocked. Outside had a great fire pit area, bench by the creek, outdoor swing for kids, and a hammock. So close to crab tree falls and major hikes (the priest). There was a great
Orchard- pick your own- 10min away. Great location. Would stay again.
Our 2 night trip was just perfect. The cabin is truly a home away from home with lots of attention to detail. Kitchen is well stocked with everything needed and more. There are lots of games and DVDs. The backyard is perfect for bonfires, and the stream invites to play and linger. The swing and the large yard are inviting to hang out and play. It was a perfect stay!
Property was well appointed, but was a little dark inside due to location of property. The cabin is older, but has had many updates to it. At times, it smelled a little musty.
We had to leave early, due to a severe thunderstorm. We lost power and water. A generator would have made us been able to stay the rest of our trip. We were disappointed we had to pack up and leave before the sun went down!
The property was perfect for my husband and I, and we can't wait to go back and bring the kids next time! Unfortunately, we didn't fully get to take advantage of the outdoor space and fire pit because of the rain. The creek was full of water though, and we loved listening to the "rushing" sound it made. The cabin was very cozy and close enough to lots of breweries so we were able to visit many of them. It was a wonderful weekend getaway!
Beautiful, relaxing stay at Spicewood Cabin. The creek was flowing and my grandsons had a wonderful time catching critters. Lots of room to roam the property. Highly recommend stay here!
The property was nice and location was decent. Easy to get to area attractions. Do wish that the creek had water. It would have been nice to sit and listen to the water run while outside at the fire pit. Love how they had the fire pit arranged and the location of it. The wood pile was stocked nicely. Only issue we really had was the dogs barking from the neighbors. While inside the cabin you donât hear them. Loved the stock of movies they had and we watched several while we were there. Would love to come back in the winter.
Very cute and quaint cottage was perfect for what we wanted, just some time together. Everything was great. The house wasnt far off the road which was a nice surprise, was expecting to have to travel at a 90 degree angle up a side of a mountain to get there. But everything was lovely and would stay here again!
Our two families are very close, both in proximity and in our relationships. Heather & April are both sisters and best friends. Having been born in the mountains of Pennsylvania (but grew up in Virginia Beach), they have an innate desire and love for the mountains and any creek, river or stream they can get into! Luckily (for them) their husbands, Marco and Ress are also on board with their love of the great outdoors. Native to central Virginia, Ress knows all the best places to eat, fish, hike and explore throughout the region. Marco, a native to Virginia Beach, is always looking for the next big catch in the rivers, streams and creeks. Together, with our children, we love to explore, experience and rejuvenate in Nelson County. We believe that families need to time to reconnect with one another and we can't think of a better place to do that than at Spicewood Cabin in Tyro, Virginia!
Two families, comprised of sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins have always wanted a family mountain "get-away" on a creek and surrounded by the mountains. So, after several years of searching for the right place, we finally found our cabin in the perfect location for our families to enjoy all that the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nelson County has to offer. Now, we want to share our property in order to give others the same sense of peace and rejuevenation we experience when we arrive at Spicewood Cabin. Our cabin gives you that feeling of being secluded and away from the stresses of life, however, it is close enough to local attractions and most importantly, the great outdoors. It is the best of both worlds and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
