About this property

Off the Beaten Path by Buffalo Mountain Getaway

  • Summary:

    Escape to the tranquil beauty of Willis, Virginia, where our Off the Beaten Path offers a great vacation experience. Nestled in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, our secluded cabin is the perfect spot for hiking, fishing, and simply unwinding in nature. Discover the wonders of the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway and Buffalo Mountain, or simply sit back and soak in the stunning views from the comfort of your home away from home.



    The Space:

    Our cabin is family-friendly and fully equipped for all ages, making it an ideal destination for your next getaway. Enjoy the peaceful serenity of the woods and the comforting sound of a nearby bold stream. Take advantage of the firepit and relax on the covered deck while taking in the gorgeous surroundings. At Buffalo Mountain Getaway, we invite you to make yourself at home and create unforgettable memories. As the saying goes, "There's no place like home, except here." Come experience it for yourself.



    The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are actually the upper floor separated by a stair case. You will not have doors in between. The stairs are steep, which are great for kids, but adults will have to go a little slower.



    Guest Access:

    You have the run of the home as well as more than 60 acres of trails and a stream. Pets really enjoy the roam, but keep them close to you at all times so they don't get lost.



    The Neighborhood:

    While remote and seclusion are the theme, the neighbors are quiet. Sorry, no parties allowed, and please do not target practice or hunt on the property.

    Our home is strictly no smoking. By accepting our terms, you agree to pay a fee of $150 for cleaning if the home has evidence of smoking.

    We don't charge a pet fee, as we are pet people ourselves. Your pets are welcome, BUT YOU MUST LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. Please understand that we WILL charge you an additional cleaning fee of $75 if we find pet hair on the linens, in the bed or on the furniture. As some folks are allergic, if we find pet hair, we have to do a more thorough cleaning. NO EXCEPTIONS. In addition, should your pet urinate or defecate on the rugs, furniture, etc. you will be charged either replacement costs or $150 professional cleaning fee, whichever is applicable.



    You must be in control of your pet at all times.

    Do not leave your pets unattended, unless they are crated.

    You are responsible for any damage made by your pet.

Lovely Hideway in the Woods

This cabin and property are the perfect getaway. Our dog had a terrific time, and so did our kids playing in the creek and enjoying the large porch. We were sad to leave it.

Cabin in the woods

Our family had a great stay at the cabin. Kids stayed up stairs, which were steep, but they didn’t mind. Sat out on the porch each morning and evening. Dogs enjoyed the stream. Had a lovely time.

Enjoyed Off the Beaten Path Cabin

Our stay at the remote cabin was enjoyable and comfortable. The amenities furnished helped make our stay relaxing. There was nothing lacking. We woke to a chilly 38 degrees outside but the cabin was warm. Pat is a fine host! Glad we had a truck to cross the small stream on our way up to the cabin.

Nice Secluded Cabin

We enjoyed our stay in Off the Beaten Path. This cozy cabin, nestled in the woods, offers privacy and tranquility. We enjoyed our time sitting around the outdoor fire pit roasting marshmallows and listening to the peaceful sound of the stream running next to us. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend visit. Just be aware that there are a fair amount of animals mounted on the walls. The nearby market had lots of supplies and we were even able to pick up some nice filet mignon that we grilled at the cabin. Pat, the owner, was quick to respond to my questions and provided all of the essentials from milk to toilet paper. We enjoyed our hike on the Rocky Knob trail off of the Blueridge Parkway and our visit to Chateau Morrisette Winery. I would definitely recommend visiting the area and staying at this cabin.

Absolutely amazing!

This vacation was exactly what we needed, and the cabin completely amazed us! It was exactly as pictured, or better! The "extras" were so nice, like the coffee, cocoa, milk, juice, and much more! Also the cleanliness was remarkable! We would definitely go again!

Thank you for sharing your home with us. It is definitely off the beaten path and I would recommend a better vehicle that a Camry like me to drive through the woods. It was such a peaceful stay.

Middle of the Forest

We loved the seclusion of this house. The creek was great entertainment for our young teen zoologist (!!), and I loved photographing the jungle effect of the rhododendrons. The covered back deck was huge, making it great for enjoying a rain storm. There was one fishing trip that resulted in delicious dinner of brook trout and another fun trip into nearby Floyd. Very efficient wifi and we were able to text on our cell phones (no calls except with the landline, as mentioned in description). We love to take time to cook some of our favorite meals and desserts when on vacation, and the kitchen did not disappoint! I had been sick a few weeks earlier and still had no energy for the nearby hiking I had planned - but there is always next time. And I hope there will be a next time!

Great place to unplug

This is what you picture when you say hunting cabin. The property is beautiful and serene, the creek babbles and the crickets chirp. My three young children and dog loved playing in the creek while my wife and I watched from the porch. We will definitely be coming back sometime in the future. If you are into mushroom hunting I found a large group of chanterelles and saw some chicken of the woods along a nearby road.

Family time in the great outdoors!

We had a wonderful time in this comfy and secluded cabin in the woods! My sons loved playing in the creek and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The porch was perfect to sit out in the mornings with a cup of coffee and listen to the creek. We saw several deer and other wildlife. It was a great family getaway!

Girlfriend’s Weekend

We loved the “Off the Beaten Path” location and the 4 of us high school friends from the Class of 72 had a fun and relaxing time. Although the steps to the loft were shallow and steep, the upstairs was cozy and the beds comfortable. Suggestion would be more lighting… need more lamps in bedrooms and living room. Pat, the Property Manager, was amazing…we had a little problem with the TV and she came running, literally, within minutes, fixed us right up and was so friendly and accommodating.

Enjoyable stay

If you're looking for a quiet place off the beaten path this is your place. The cabin was cozy. It felt truly like our "home away from home." When you go outside on the deck, you are welcome by the sound of chirping birds and the murmuring river water. The green all around was pretty welcoming. Meadows of Dan is a quaint little town too. We loved it. Mabry Mill is a must see to visit and take pictures. 2 things we must say: this is a hunter's cabin. the taxidermy animals on the walls are pretty intense. Also although you can get there easily by regular car, it will probably be best in a SUV. Otherwise do go and unplug at the cabin. It's worth every cent.

The One Spot to Get Away.

Pat is Super Host. We definitely will stay here again the closest city is Hillville. So make sure to do all your shopping first. Definitely try to be there during daylight as it is a little complicated to get there. But once you are the the place is amazing. Definitely Recommended.

Cozy and pretty place, but comfort with taxidermy required

Private location, clean and well-kept cabin, comfortable space, babbling brook nearby. Lovely supply of cereal, coffee, and tea. There is also a large number of taxidermied animals mounted along the walls, so a certain comfort level with this practice would be important.

Seclusion and peace

We were happy both for the six beds in the upper bedroom and to see the Pack-N-Play available in the lower bedroom. The deck is really nice and was a highlight for us. It was nice even in the rain, and was great for watching our young ones as they played in the creek. There were ample towels and blankets, and the individual soaps and shampoos were also nice. A truly secluded and peaceful experience.
