About this property

Small, quiet, romantic, reasonably priced cabin, next to a great trout stream

Helton Creek Guest Cabin is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 300 sq ft cabin, perfect for a quiet week or weekend on a state maintained trout stream, Helton Creek. Just imagine fishing on the creek, then grilling out or relaxing in the wonderful hot tub while listening to the creek music. The back porch is a stone's throw from the creek. In the winter you can sit in the hot tub and watch the creek go by and in the summer, there is enough shade to relax on the porch and feel the cool breeze, build a fire in the fire pit, or try your luck at catching a nice trout for dinner.
This guest cabin is great for the extended family or a couple/family who may want to rent it by itself at more reasonable rates, with or without renting the main cabin. It features 1 bedroom (queen bed), 1 bath, a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, and kitchenette with all utensils, hot plate, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave/ large convection oven. DISH TV, Wifi Internet, and phone are included. The hot tub on the private deck is available year round.
There is a fire pit between the cabin and creek with firewood provided. Additional firewood is available under the back deck of the big cabin 30 yds. away.

Overall good stay

Location was great, nice and secluded on the river. Unit was clean but I did notice a few dead wasps in the kitchen sink area. When I stayed it was cold overnight (20’s) and regulating the temperature was difficult. There is a propane stove but running it makes the cabin way too hot and turning it off before bed and using the space heater made it very cold at 5AM. The hot tub worked great but it switched to Spanish and locked me out. I looked through directions and couldn’t find a solution. Overall my stay was good.

Loved our stay!

This cabin was exactly as expected, cute and quaint. Perfect for two people. The creek in the back was the best ever. It was so great just to go walk in it. The location was great. We were looking for some seclusion, but we weren’t far from Lansing, West Jefferson or Grayson Highland Park. It was a perfect set up for bringing our dog. The wrap around deck had a gate so we felt completely relaxed, letting our dog wander around on the deck without fear of him getting out. We will definitely come back.

The only complaint I have is there was dog hair on the floor, couch and rugs. The refrigerator wasn't wiped out and clean. The drawer the silverware was in needed cleaning and cabinets needed to be wiped out.

Long weekend

This was our second time staying here. We did enjoy our stay, however this cabin could use a little love. It's not being cleaned well & could use an exterminator to help with bugs. (Not roaches) just typical wooded area bugs. We would consider staying again, as I'm sure the owner is paying someone close to clean & may not be aware of the rush job being done

Enjoyed the creek!

This property is small but was accurately described as so. We loved sitting outside by the fire and listening to the creek! The inside could use some cleaning and sealing of the air conditioning window. We had a lot of stink bugs inside that came in from the ac unit window. We wanted to hear the creek at night but the bathroom window does not open. The heater works great! Microwave and dishes all need to be cleaned. TV could be replaced easily for a nice upgrade, the picture was not great. Outdoor chairs need to be cleaned. Cobwebs and such all over the deck, but for the price it fit our needs. Tons of wood was provided for fire which was very nice. Wifi worked well. We did have a nice time!

1854 Helton Creek Cabin

I think more than two people would be awfully uncomfortable. The table only has 2 chairs, there’s no where to hang clothes or put in drawers. $120 a night is a bit steep compared to the other cabins.

Good for the weekend

The cabin was what we needed for an affordable weekend away. The hot tub was not clean and smelled bad, and the tub itself was slimy. The cabin was mostly clean but could use a good scrub in the corners and a wash of infrequently used kitchen towels and oven mitts (we bought a clean sponge and had to buy paper towels). The sheets smelled nice and were clean and the bed and sofa were comfy. We loved the firepit but had to drive to buy a lighter. This was the only rental I've ever seen without extra toilet paper, so we had to ration to avoid another last-minute shopping trip. Very close to Grayson Highlands State Park which was great, and the Virginia Creeper Trail is also close. We enjoyed our mother/son weekend but wouldn't rent here again.

Great weekend getaway

This little cabin was great for our little getaway. It is in a great location. Only 10 minutes from food and Grayson Highlands State Park and only 35 minutes from West Jefferson. It was right on the creek and the perfect size for us. It was very private even though it is right next to the road. The hot tub was great but I think it needs to have steps off the back porch. The only issue was for the price we paid plus a cleaning fee it could have been cleaner. We usually cook a couple times but did not comfortable using the hot plate so we only cooked steaks on the grill one night. Also the firepit could use some work. Even with that we had a great weekend.
