Chilling in paradise
So beautiful, so private, We retreated here when the temps in DC approached 100 degrees. And weren’t disappointed. The pool below he falls is chilly but worth the walk. Recommend hanging your hammock up by the falls for the best nap you’ll ever have! We had plans to explore but couldn’t drag ourselves away from this property.

Off grid beauty
I am a repeat customer and absolutely love this little slice of heaven. Beautiful property located in close proximity to many awesome hikes and close enough to travel to local breweries and vineyards. No electricity and no cell service might be a downside for some but easy enough to prepare in advance for and gives you a great excuse to unplug and recharge. Host is always kind and responsive.

I liked that the area is private so you felt secluded. You can explore farther into the property and there’s a nice creek that runs through it with a small waterfall. The area where it is recommend you sleep is literally within throwing distance of the road, but after dark there’s only a handful of cars that drive by. I will say for $60 it seems pretty steep for what you get. Besides the wooden pallet to sleep on there’s a fire pit and that’s it. A picnic table or some chairs would be nice. The shed pictured is not for use. He does have these trail cameras around the property too, one of which is directly aimed at where you sleep. He does mention this and says you can cover them, but just seems kinda odd to need a camera aimed at where guest are going to sleep.

We loved our one-night stay here. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. We did a polar plunge in the waterfall pool in the morning as the fall foliage surrounded us. We would definitely return and recommend others to check it out!

Quiet holler, nestled along the Tye
Meili Mountain is a wonderfully situated property right next to the iconic Crabtree falls. I camped at the sight with the shed and had a great one-night stay surrounded by the changing autumn foliage. Would love to come back again.
