Didn't get to use the charcoal "park grill" that was added since our last visit but it looked like it has potential to make a great meal. "Next time!" Staff is friendly and goes to lengths to make sure you feel welcome and that your stay is comfortable. Wifi at the cabin was helpful in locating things to do in the area since there's no cell service. We kept the electronics to a minimum and enjoyed the beauty the area has to offer. The highlights of our stay were the hike to the top of Crabtree Falls, the beach fun at Sherando Lake and the visit to Wild Wolf Brewery for dinner and corn hole. Can't wait to book our next stay at what the kids have dubbed "our cabin in Virginia!" Lol!

Logwood - Renter Beware!!!…read more Video/pictures are carefully presented to not depict what you will be truly getting. If you are looking for a private cabin in the woods with easy access to a creek right outside the back door, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. - The cabin is located on a well-traveled road, not off the beaten path via the gravel drive depicted. - There are two additional homes right next door - a big rating of 0 for privacy. - The inside is extremely small (which was ok), but the photos do not accurately depict what is there. The full size washer/dryer (in the kitchen) is overkill in this little space , no cute table & chairs; instead an ugly bar thing. The furnishings are more than a little worn; look like they came from a bad second-hand store. - Bath is ok; no shower. - Upstairs is a one room loft. The video depicts 2 full size beds, the written description states 3. Which is it? Three beds and dressers, which makes for very little space to even move around. I can't imagine 6 adults sleeping up there. - If you are disabled or elderly, you will not be able to enjoy the creek in the back as one must navigate a steep vertical slope down/up. And, I mean steep! - While the cabin is set up to sleep a hand full of people, the size is truly for no more than 2 - even three would be pushing it. - As we didn't stay, I can't really comment on the kitchen (it "appeared" adequate) or the condition/comfort of the beds. We wanted to get away from it all, not be sharing our time with the neighbors next door and not be able to enjoy the creek and surrounding woods. Suffice it to say, people do not pack up with 2 large dogs, fill up with gas (which is not cheap these days), and travel for several hours only to turn around and leave. While we were offered to try another cabin, we declined in that we really didn't want to deal with folks who had been so deceptive from the get go and continued to place the blame on us since we didn't investigate the property on Google Maps. Really!!! We were offered a 50% refund, of which we only received a portion. We should have been refunded 100% for the pet fee charge and the arm load of fire wood we purchased, plus an error in their math when initially charging us. As far as I'm concerned, we should have been refunded for every penny.

However, we just planned all those activities in the same day to avoid doing that drive multiple times.

The family running this place was charming. We enjoyed breakfast at the main lodge. Sipping coffee while sitting on the porch during the rain was delightful. For context, my review may be a little colored since the other cabins were nearly all empty during our stay. You should be aware that there is no WiFi and we found cellphone data coverage to be a bit intermittent. Unanimously, we would recommend this place!

There is no ambient light here so the stars put on quite a show each evening. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. All spaces are graveled drives. It does have a swimming pool, a catch and release pond a swimming pond and a creek running through the property. It also has a general store selling high priced items like sodas, beer, ice cream, hamburgers, canned goods and kitsch. It is situated next to Jefferson State Park, accessed by a 1.5 mile narrow (barely two-lane) road. We were assigned to a shady pull through with water and electric. However no WiFi , no TV reception and no cable. The bathhouses and showers are tired and need some help. The toilets themselves are clean, but the floor is unfinished cement, painting is definitely needed, one of the three showers had no shower head, only a pipe, and the grout in the ceramic tiles on the walls and floors were dirty. Quite a few full time RVers have made this their permanent home. So far, the only bugs we've encountered are gnats and bees. No mosquitoes which is a good thing. Lots of hummingbirds as well.

An old Presbyterian church was renovated back into a large home with four rooms on the second floor.

Cheryl and Rob were friendly hosts who make sure you get a full meal to start the day. Visitors to Lexington themselves, as heir weekday home base is in northern Virginia, they appreciate trips out to the Shenandoah Valley as much as their guests!

Don't be caught off guard when they ask for check payment and enjoy your stay in a beautiful home away from home.

Every amenity you can think of was there and Cheryl (and Rob) did whatever they could to make sure we felt "at home." The location of Grace House is close enough to the downtown area of Lexington to walk to, and it also worked out perfectly and was spacious enough for the bridesmaids to gather and get dressed the day of the wedding, and then to have bridal pictures taken there also. Thank you Cheryl and Rob for sharing incredible Grace House with us during this special time. We are so grateful!
