Come unplug and unwind alongside a year round stream. Lounge in the hammock and read a good book, watch the abundant wildlife or build a fire and cook out under the stars. Fall asleep to the sound of the babbling creek, just perfect for relaxing and getting some quality sleep. In the morning, have your coffee on the sun dappled porch. Hike the trails, visit the farm animals and explore the surrounding countryside. Winter campers! The cabin is heated with a woodstove and is toasty warm on chilly nights with a fire going. The cabin was the first dwelling built on our farm and is only 40 minutes from Richmond, ideal for a quick getaway. We have friendly goats, cows and chickens on our 21 acre family homestead. Tucked into the woods, the farm is peaceful and private. There are walking paths through the woods and a creek to explore. You are welcome to visit the animals. The farm is about halfway between Richmond and Charlottesville. We are about 15 miles from the James River at Maidens. There is a super hip farmstand (like a mini Whole Foods) and an old fashioned country store 2 miles up the road and a good Mexican place about 15 minutes away. To the east is Montpelier and to the west is Louisa, both have all the modern stores and conveniences along with some country charm. You will park near the trailhead and it is a 2 minute walk down a wooded trail. The cabin is one room with a loft. There is a queen size memory foam bed in the loft (up a ladder) and a small wood stove with a cooktop for chilly nights that will keep you toasty warm. Welcome!

Perfect weekend getaway!!!
The cabin was perfectly equipped with some creature comforts while still being off grid! It felt completely private and a million miles away while still being close for day trip and services as needed.

This was a nice, quiet, and secluded little spot that was perfect for my husband and I to get away, unplug, and focus on just us.

Great time at the cabin!
We had such a great time at the off grid cabin! We would definitely stay here again and we actually now have put having a cabin like this on our bucket list. It was nice to have a sturdy shelter that differed from other camping sites. No electricity/running water in the cabin, but there was a gas stove and gas grill for cooking food, a wood stove inside for heat (although we didn’t need it at all and it got down to 42 when we were there), an outhouse a short walk away, and a dish washing station and trash can behind the cabin. Laura provided a perfect amount of firewood for the stay and this site was incredibly private. We got to see some cows on the way in but didn’t see any of the other animals. It was very peaceful with the creek right out front and there was very minimal noise from the roads nearby. The campsite was incredibly clean- I tried to leave it better than I found it but didn’t see any litter to pick up! Some tips for your stay: There was a lot of poison ivy around the cabin, so I’d recommend knowing how to identify it so you can avoid it. When we got home, I found a tick on myself, so be prepared with bug spray with deet and/or long sleeves and long pants and definitely check yourself for ticks! It’s the price you pay for enjoying the outdoors, but it definitely did not make me enjoy this place less. Even with the tick bite, we would still highly recommend staying here!

Our stay was lovely! The wood stove and well-insulated walls kept us cozy at night in mid-November. The propane stove setup was perfect for cooking. The outhouse was private but not far from the cabin. Reflective strips on the trees along the path to the cabin were so helpful as we arrived after the sun had set. The bed is lofted so be aware that you’ll be climbing up/down a ladder. A couple miles north is The Farm Stand which had butter we forgot to pack and coffee beans we’re excited to try.

Such a nice spot!
Laura and her property are absolutely wonderful! The cabin is beautiful and cozy with the wood stove. We have been to this property 3 times now and love it more and more! From lamps to dishes to a grill and as much wood as you can burn, this spot has just about everything you will need! Laura is also incredibly responsive and I so appreciate her hospitality! We hope to be back again 😊😊

Fantastic Escape
I really enjoyed the peace and simplicity of the Creekside Cabin. It had everything I needed, including dishes, silverware, a great cast iron pan, and a French press. Laura was very responsive and helpful with the handful of questions that I had. I definitely recommend it for an off-grid escape.
