Lovely cabin in a perfect location

We came to town with five families to explore at Grayson Highlands and ride the Virginia Creeper Trail. This cabin accommodated us all with plenty of room, lots to do, and an ideal location between our two destinations. We had a wonderful stay.

Great place for large family reunions

It was roomier than it appeared in the photos. Great location being close to Grayson Highlands State Park. The stream was perfect for the kids to explore. The kitchen was well- stocked and very workable....for 18 people! The owner was very accommodating and responsive....we would definitely come back!

Perfect for a large gathering!

From ages 9 to 71, we all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Everything we needed to prepare and serve the "traditional Thanksgiving meal. We had been there about 3 years for Thanksgiving and everyone wanted to go back. This time we talked about going in the spring or summer sometime. Thanks to Jim and Barbara for sharing this lovely retreat.

Good time was had by all

Stayed on the 4th of July weekend found out the day of check in that we couldn't light off legal fireworks (neighbors animals). Put a big damper on the holiday weekend. House was very large and could accommodate a large family. Overall a good time.

Great family getaway

Enjoyed our time with family the first since the pandemic started. Did not have high expectations for amenities as the pictures and descriptions were accurate. However we spent the first night cleaning as the basic cleaning was done but the advertised "deep cleaning " was anything but that - including needing to put the bed covers through the dryer as several were covered in cat hair. Great spot to bond, just be prepared to need to clean.

Huge house feels like home

This was the second year we stayed at this property. Last year we enjoyed the hot tub because the weekend was cool and rainy and we couldn’t get outside much. This year, we were able to take advantage of the fire pit and the kids played in the creek behind the house. This roomy house has multiple gathering areas along with cozy quieter areas to relax away from the group. We love the screened porch and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook for a large group. If you walk out the front door you can watch the cows moving around on the mountain. Extra bonus: it is just a few miles from Grayson Highland park where you can picnic, hike and maybe if you’re lucky, see the group of wild ponies that roam there. We love this place!! Only bad thing about it is having to leave!

Great space for a large group

First things first: the location of this property is fantastic! Helton Creek runs alongside the backyard and there's a gorgeous pasture with cows, goats, and horses across the road. You're less than 30 minutes way from Grayson Highlands/Mt. Rogers, and there are plenty of other outdoor recreation opportunities just a short drive away. The house itself is quite large; we rented out both floors of the main cabin as well as the small guest cabin and had plenty of room to spread out between all of us. The kitchen was well equipped, making it easy for us to cook dinner for more than a dozen people. There were plenty of board and lawn games to enjoy, and the fire ring in the side yard was a nice place to spend the evening after a long day of hiking or canoeing. We all felt very comfortable and happy here, and will definitely keep this cabin in mind if we are coming back to the area.

An Amazing Way to Ring in the New Year!

We rented out both floors of the Main Cabin for New Years. It sleeps 15 comfortably, but we got 18 in there just fine with a few air mattresses. The kitchen downstairs is full stocked with everything you need from blenders to toasters to a cast iron skillet. The hot tub was a great addition. The property manager was extremely easy to work with, as well as, being flexible with check-in and check-out. The cabin was way larger than I expected. It's really nice having so many separate rooms. However, be careful with low hanging doorways. There are a few low ceilings in the house that could annoy anyone that's 6'5" or above probably. The back porch was really nice. It was really peaceful with the sound of the stream. Everyone attended gave it an A+!

Everything Was Amazing!!!

We shared Thanksgiving with children and grandchildren and enjoyed every minute. We had 19 and there was plenty of room. We have been doing this for a number of years but usually go to the beach. We decided for the mountains this year and everyone agreed this was the best ever. The kitchen was Awesome......more pots, pans, bowls, utensils, and extras than we had hoped for. My daughter, daughters in law and myself love to cook, bake, and feed people and the kitchen was perfect. One of the highlights was the hiking available at the nearby park - the children LOVED the ponies there. The trout stream behind the house, the firepit in the side yard, horseshoes, and cornhole were all fun. And of course the Hot Tub! The owners are kind, thoughtful people and answered all our questions quickly. We are thankful to them for helping to make this a Thanksgiving we will always remember.

Unmaintained & Dirty

Upon opening the front door, there was a strong odor of moth balls. I am unsure what the owner is doing with the cleaning fee, because this place was really dirty. The empty fridge shelves were dirty, the front of all the appliances were really dirty. All the batteries for the TV remotes were dead. The outdoor patio table was disgusting. The hot tub had an algae/scum line 1 inch tall and smelled (not chemical smell, but nasty). And then for the surprise when going to bed, no sheets on the bed, had to put them on ourselves. Oh, and the fireplace didn't work and after reaching out to owner about it, they refused to help with the fireplace.

Nice property!

We enjoyed our stay, the backyard with the stream and the fire pit were awesome as was the hot tub and the fun Christmas decorations. Our only disappointment were the televisions. We always watch football bowl games on our New Year’s stay and we were disappointed in the televisions at the property, two of the three TVs were very small and very outdated.

Helton Creek Cabin

This was a return visit for our family reunion. We came 4 years ago. Hosts are easy to work with and make you feel welcome. Plenty of sleeping space for our group of 20. The main rooms are a bit small to accommodate that many people all at once but there’s plenty of space to spread out otherwise. We all had a great time!

Perfect Family Retreat!

Wonderful experience from reservation through the end of our 3-week stay! The location is quiet and private, yet convenient to anything you might need or want to do. Loved to view the cows, horse, and goats across the road. We rented the entire main cabin and the guest cabin which accommodated us, our 3 kids, their spouses, and our 5 grandchildren beautifully. The porches were spacious and offered great views. We had room for family meals on the back porch! The fully fenced yard was perfect ~ lots of room to run and play, pick blueberries and black raspberries, and hide in the "secret" space behind the apple trees and grape arbor. We enjoyed conversation and S'mores around the firepit. The creek was an integral part of the experience and provided hours of entertainment for everyone ~ whether playing in it, fishing, or just sitting by it. The stars and fireflies were pure magic! Helton Creek Cabin is the perfect antidote to modern daily life!!!
