I understand the owners can’t control the weather, but I feel the photos of the creek must have been taken after days of very heavy rainfall, as they show a large rushing creek. We booked this cabin for the sole purpose of a creek in the backyard and upon arrival, it was completely dry. It rained on our third and fourth day, and still the creek bed was dry. There were also mouse droppings all over the bottom of the free standing “pantry”. We were also surprised to find the two bedrooms were attached and separated by a door that was hard to close. One of the bedrooms has a sliding door opening to the kitchen/living area that is attached to the wall that “closes” with a hook, leaving an inch to two inch gap all around, so not good for blocking sound between the two areas. We prepared many meals here and found it annoying that there were only two sharp knives. If sitting outside, be prepared to hear neighboring dogs barking continuously, thankfully you can’t hear it while inside. The cabin is close to hikes and breweries, which was nice. Sherando Lake is about 30 minutes away and was a great place for a hot day.
