About this property

Serene Mountain Retreat Abundant Wildlife 4BR Starlink Internet EV Charger

A STORY BOOK SETTING SURROUNDED BY NATURE.
Our 2,441sqft cabin is nestled in a Mountain hollow 3900 feet above sea level, with rugged Appalachian mountains as the backdrop. Wildlife abundant, Watch the birds, chipmunks, and deer play. The property itself has 43 acres to explore with multiple trails. It backs up to 4500 acres of the famous Grayson Highlands State Park, which includes wild ponies! The area is almost surreal starting in the Spring with flowers planted meticulously around the cabin, as well as many wild flowers scattered up and down our rolling hills.
Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in the morning, while on the back deck, listening to the natural waterfall of the pond. Don't forget the binoculars, to watch the deer eating fallen apples off our trees, the chipmunks playing, and the ground hogs(whistle pigs) patrolling the property. We have many species of birds for the bird watching enthusiasts.
The property also boasts a stream with 3 spring fed waterfalls and enlarged pools to take a refreshing SWIM in the summer or a polar plunge in the winter. ****Swim at your own risk. Life Jackets available****
We have a fire pit by the stream for marshmallow roasting, story telling, and lots of stargazing.
Our place is everything you pictured in your minds eye, when dreaming about getting away from the hustle and grind of everyday life.
Babbling Brook Cabin will make you more relaxed and a greater appreciation for all of nature's beauty. ******We recently added Starlink to add faster more reliable Hi speed internet and WiFi.*****

Great place for a quiet getaway.

The property was very nice with great outdoor space to explore when we weren't hiking or exploring the area. The trails on the property were easy to follow, and we saw lots of birds and deer. We enjoyed the proximity to Grayson Highlands and Mount Rogers. Great place to unwind!

Wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property! The grounds are beautiful and the outdoor spaces were fantastic as well. We had a fire pit every night and enjoyed many hikes on the property as well as Grayson Highlands Park. We had a lovely day on the Virginia creeper Trail. We did have a medical emergency requiring an ER visit while we were there and we were grateful for the emergency information on the refrigerator. It was special getaway for our family.

Fantastic Stay near Grayson Highlands!

We absolutely loved this location for both the amenities and the proximity to Grayson Highlands. Our kids loved all the wonderful outdoor space. Inside had everything we needed for the stay. It was incredibly close to Grayson Highlands, which made getting over there easy on multiple days. We brought our Tesla, and the Level 2 car charger worked great. We’ve already scheduled our time to return. Highly recommend!

Overnight Stay

The cabin was so cute and full of character. I wish our stay had been longer. Everyone that was with me talked about planning a trip to come back with their family. The host was amazing when i called at 8:45pm at night with an issue. She picked right up and got the issue fixed.

A beautiful gem hidden away in the mountains

We loved this cabin so much, and we can't wait to return! It's very private, with an incredible landscaped yard and so much space to explore and hike. Just a 10 minute drive from Grayson Highlands state park. The cabin is beautifully decorated and has everything you could want with so many thoughtful touches. Incredibly comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, fantastic games for kids, we almost didn't want to leave the house! The view can't be beat, and we wish we had stayed a whole week instead of just a weekend. Communication with the owners was great One of the best VRBO rentals I've ever experienced.

Quiet Mountain Retreat

Fantastic cozy cabin getaway. Spent a day on the Creeper then another day at Grayson Highlands, and this place fit the bill for our family. Exactly as described. I could sit on that porch all day listening to the “babbling” brook and falls. Well-stocked kitchen. We especially enjoyed the wide array of tea and small batch coffee options. Spacious living area. Comfortable beds. Very clean. We saw plenty of wildlife as advertised: deer, chipmunks, frogs etc. Wish we had more time to explore the trails! Next time…Can’t recommend this place enough.

Wonderful mountain cabin

I have been wanting to visit Grayson Highlands for some time now. Every time I looked, I noticed that there are not many good options for places to stay near by. We hit the jackpot with this house! It was very close to the park and the landscaping/yard is picture perfect. I could have spent all day outside but the inside is also super cozy and so well done. The pictures online don't actually capture the charm of the inside of the cabin. The cabin was also really well stocked, including tons of games for our family. The wifi is great too. My only caution is that the stairs to the upstairs (where three of the four bedrooms are located) are really sketchy ladder stairs. These weren't pictured in the listing. My kids are 8, 10, and 12 and handled them without incident but if they were younger it could have been an issue.

This home and property was beautiful. The house had everything you would need or want from kitchen and pantry necessities to games and puzzles. We love how close it is to Grayson Highlands State Park. I wish we had a longer stay to enjoy just being at the house more. I would definitely book again and add a day or two more.

"We chose this neighborhood for its serene and natural beauty. Nestled in the heart of the Virginia Mountains, our cabin is surrounded by lush forests, multiple streams, and stunning mountain views. The peaceful ambiance and seclusion make it the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. One of the unique aspects of this area is the fresh, chilled spring water that flows through our property, providing a refreshing and natural experience right at your doorstep. We love the outdoor activities available, from hiking and exploring the trails to fishing in the streams. The community here is warm and welcoming, offering a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find elsewhere. Whether it's enjoying a quiet evening by the fire or exploring the great outdoors, this neighborhood provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable getaway."

What makes this property unique

"Our mountain cabin offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. With four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, it comfortably accommodates families and groups. The cabin is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a king-size bedroom downstairs with a private full bathroom, three bedrooms upstairs (including another king-size bedroom, a full-size bedroom, and a twin trundle bed with an additional twin pull-out), and an extra queen-size floor mattress/futon available for additional guests. One of the standout features of our property is the chilled spring water, sourced directly from a stream on the property and filtered with a UV filter for safe drinking. We also offer high-speed internet with Starlink, making it easy to stay connected even in this rural setting. For eco-conscious travelers, a free EV charger (240V at 40 AMP) is available.
