Beautiful cabin in the woods

My husband, daughter and I stayed here for 4 days during spring break. The cabin is beautiful and fully stocked with extra amenities to make it feel like home. The screened in porch was great for relaxing and we enjoyed the hammock. The kitchen is a good size, beds were very comfortable, the living room was spacious. We highly recommend this property! Kurtis was very attentive as well making sure we had everything we needed.

Great cabin

We enjoyed our week at Golden Ridge Cabin. It’s rustic but has been renovated to include modern amenities and furnishings. The cabin was very clean, a comfortable bed, and the area was very quiet. A short walk or drive to the bottom of the neighborhood takes you to a great river for swimming and a short trail into GW National Forest. Other trails, attractions, grocery stores, restaurants, etc are at least a 15 mile drive but the surrounding farmland makes the drive pleasant.

Getaway in Rawley Springs

This VRBO-friendly cabin was perfect for a couple (or two) to enjoy woodsy seclusion while working remotely. WiFi was fast and reliable. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating in, and cabin was even stocked with wood for the fire pit. During our stay, a large tree fell over the road while we were out. I contacted the owner and there was a crew there the next morning (on a Sunday) to remove it. Road leading up to the cabin was unpaved and narrow so took a little getting used to. Only letdown - neighborhood was not walking friendly and I was hoping for more trails close by (but did find one). Overall, we had a very pleasant week.

Best VRBO Ever

This was the best VRBO we've ever rented. You will not be disappointed. It's a slice of heaven in the woods. The hosts are fabulous. If you want tranquility and a cabin away from everything, this is your place.

Excellent, cozy getaway!

This was the perfect weekend getaway that we so needed! The cabin is cozy, welcoming, and quiet while still offering "creature comforts," such as TV, WiFi, central heating and air conditioning, etc. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, flatware, and cookware, and the gas stove is fabulous. Whomever decorated the cabin has great taste! Kurt, one of the hosts, was very communicative and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Allegheny Special" train ride (Buckingham Branch Railroad), the Nu-Beginnings Farm Store in Staunton, and the Friendly City Food Co-op in Harrisonburg. Next time we're back, we want to check out Ruby's Arcade and the White Oak Lavender Farm and Vineyard.Overall, we would highly recommend Golden Ridge Cabin!

A quiet time in the woods

After an exciting holiday season I was looking forward to spending a few days alone in the quiet woods. This cabin was the perfect place. My only recommendation to anyone else, if there is a heavy snow then you will need a truck to get to the property because it is on the top of a hill. You can park at the bottoms of the hill and walk .2miles up, but the neighbors are pretty protective of the space and threatened to two my car. After explaining that my car belongs there, they were nice enough to let it stay :)
