Wonderful Weekend Getaway
Maybelline was a dream! The camper, the creek, and the cats made for such a wonderful weekend spent in the mountains. Our birthday celebration couldn't have been better, and we'll be back soon no doubt.

"The Sawmill"
Best experience ever!!
**Review of Our Exceptional Weekend Stay at the Sawmill**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend at a charming off-grid sawmill, and we can’t stop raving about our experience! Nestled in the heart of nature, this unique getaway offered us the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure, far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The sawmill, with its rustic charm, was meticulously maintained and set against a backdrop of towering trees. It was the ideal spot to disconnect and recharge.
Our host, Hans, was nothing short of exceptional. Warm and welcoming, he made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was when he graciously brought us dinner one night. The meal was not only delicious. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly exemplified the level of care and attention he puts into hosting his guests.
The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed for our off-grid experience. We loved waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying our breakfast on the porch, taking in the fresh air.
Whether you’re looking to explore the surrounding trails, relax by the fire, or simply enjoy a peaceful escape, this sawmill retreat has it all. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful.

The Summit Cabin
This was my second time staying at the summit and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The hike up is steep, so I do recommend hiking boots and trekking poles. But the peaceful isolation makes it worth it. It was a perfect location for my retreat, and Hans is always a gracious host.

The Summit Cabin
We had the best time staying at our lovely cabin on top of the hill. Incredible views, very quiet and serene, and a nice getaway. Be prepared for the hike up to the cabin - it’s steep but very manageable! Our host, Hans, was responsive, kind, and made us feel very welcome. We hope to find ourselves back here one day!

Maybelline the camper/cabin
Description very accurate, who needs to drive to a trail when you stay here? Nobody, the road is closed past the camper and makes for a moderately difficult hike up to the Blue ridge parkway and summit trails.
As Hans says, "most everything is in the camper". We cooked several fine meals mostly using tools and equipment provided.
The creek outside is very soothing, the toilet and shower worked great. The cats are not a negotiable experience with this lodging, they will keep an eye on you throughout your stay.
Highly recommend, would return for a longer stay!

1959 Vintage Camper by the Creek
Maybeline is a sweet set up. Cozy camper with covered porch and bathroom shower addition. Right next to Mineral Creek. Pablo (my dog) and I had a great hike up to the Blue Rdge Parkway.
Hans was a terrific attentive host. Definitely recommend staying here.
