Secluded Cabin Escape with Fire Pit & Scenic Views

Welcome to Golden Ridge Cabin!

This rustic cabin borders the George Washington National Forest and is just 20 minutes west of Harrisonburg, VA, and 20 minutes east of the WV state line. The home offers total privacy in the woods and includes easy access to numerous mountain biking trails, hiking trails, & trout fishing locations. An outdoor enthusiast's ideal scenario. Two bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and the option for additional guests with a sleeper sofa. Stay and disconnect to reconnect.

Upon your arrival at Golden Ridge Cabin, you’re instantly greeted with this calming state of mind by the faint sounds of the Dry River and the wind blowing through the tree canopy on the mountain side. The cabin is located in the historical community of, Rawley Springs - famous for its medicinal mountain streams, Black Run and the Dry River.

Whether you’re yearning for the weekend retreat, the outdoor adventure, couples getaway, or creative inspiration - this is the cabin experience that you didn’t realize you needed.

The cabin sits on five acres bordering George Washington National Forest. At sunrise & sunset from the porches, or the top of the property, you can see the sun cast its golden light on the mountain ridge across the valley.

At nightfall, enjoy the fire pit accompanied by four Adirondack chairs that allows you to converse, reconnect, relax and gaze at the stars above.

**Driving to the cabin, when the road turns to gravel, you're immediately taken by the experience you've hoped for - this is a true getaway in the mountains. The cabin is accessible by any vehicle, but please note that certain times during the year conditions may vary and AWD or 4WD is recommended.**

Wonderful cabin in a magical place

We had a totally wonderful stay at Golden Ridge Cabin! The cabin is so thoughtfully appointed; every detail is charming! It was stocked with all things we needed to make our time there comfortable and it is one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed at--not a small feat in the woods! The Rawley Springs location is perfect. I loved being walkable to the springs and having sweet Harrisonburg just a short and easy drive away. I hope we will be back!

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.
