Private Lakefront Log Cabin

Cornerstone Cabin is an extraordinary cabin. We used three 100 year old square log cabins to build it. The old cabins were tagged, disassembled, moved to the lake, and reassembled into one house under current building codes, with all the modern comforts of home. The lake house sits on 11 secluded, forested acres with no other houses in sight. It has magnificent craftmanship, and all the wood was either from old dwellings or custom-milled for the house.

Cornerstone Cabin has a tin roof, making the rain's pitter-patter so soothing. Another unique feature is that it has a full 2nd story. Most cabins constructed with old square logs are 1.5 stories with a loft or knee walls upstairs. Cornerstone has lots of windows & 7 ceiling fans throughout the house so you can throw open the windows & enjoy the fresh air & wildlife sounds. For your sleeping comfort, there are hand-made wooden shutters throughout the house to darken the rooms.

Cornerstone's upstairs has 3 spacious sleeping quarters; the sleeping quarters are sequential, i.e. they open one to the other, no hallway. The first is a loft with queen bed and cathedral ceiling with exposed rafters. The middle bedroom has 2 twin beds; the upstairs bath is accessed through the middle bedroom, and it has a full tub with shower. The third bedroom has queen bed and cathedral ceiling. All three offer beautiful windows facing the lake.

Starting from the ground up, there is stacked-stone foundation, chimney, & fireplace; then 3' X 9' floor joists for the 1st floor (exceeds any building codes, so the house is solid as a rock). The downstairs has custom-milled beams & includes bedroom (king), bathroom with shower, stack washer/dryer, fully-equipped kitchen, indoor seating for 10 with dining room table (6) & game table(4), hi-speed internet, & family room with satellite color TV, oversized fireplace, & sturdy antique staircase built in 1820. Opening from both family room and downstairs bedroom is a 10' x 20' aromatic cedar screened porch with ceiling fans and dining table for 6. This is our favorite spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and dining.
Cornerstone Cabin is in a forested, slow-moving world of quiet solitude, wildlife, & no other houses, and yet, incredibly, you are only 10-to-15 minutes away from 3 grocery chains, good restaurants, & fun entertainment. The road and driveway leading to the cabin are gravel and probably not suitable for a very low-riding vehicle, like a Corvette, but otherwise should be easy enough.

A few restaurants: 15 minutes to 2 established, locally owned & operated steak houses, Clarksville Station Steak House & Old Country Club Steak House; Italian: 15 minutes to Vesuvios Italian near Walmart or Vesuvios ll Food & Sports Bar downtown; need it quickly: 5 minutes to Mayo Marina (Country) Grill & Store for breakfast, burgers; great, hot or cold subs: 15 minutes to American Hero for philly cheese steak or gyro.

Some entertainment: Out your front door down a gentle slope to swim, sun, watch the sunset, & fish for bass & crappie off your dock in clean, clear, pristine Mayo Lake; bring your fishing/ski boat & moor it safely to our PBD (pontoon boat dock); ski, wakeboard, & tube in one of the most uncrowded lakes you've ever been to; or, rent a canoe or kayak from Mayo Park; 5 minutes to Mayo Park (walking trails; bands, movies, & plays at the Amphitheatre; free boat launch; playground); 15 minutes to Palace Pointe (all under one roof) Family Entertainment (20 bowling lanes, 7 billiards tables, video arcade, rollerskating, 8 movie theatres, & food diner); 30 minutes to South Boston Motor Speedway or to Virginia International Raceway (VIR = Lemans-type pro & amateur sports car & motorcycle road race course). For driving times to many other awesome activities, please see the 'Other Activities' Section under the 'Features & Amenties' Heading below.

Please feel free to contact us about any rental question or particular activities you're interested in. We'll do our best. 'We aim to please'!!

Sincerely,

Arch & Kathy

Beautiful location. It was great for our family but if it were for a family with teens of different sexes it would be difficult as all bedrooms are connected . You have to walk through each bedroom to get to your own bedroom or even to the bathroom. There is not a hallway. As you go up the stairs the first bedroom with beds is right there. It is a beautiful place very comfortable. I would go there again!!!

Fabulous Holiday stay

This place is absolutely wonderful. The house has everything you need and more. Spent a lot of time on screened in porch especially when the afternoon storms rolled in. Peaceful section of the lake. Plenty of space and the beds slept great. This is truly a log cabin built with love. Rooms were spacious. I cannot say enough about this place. Very private location but close to civilization for unexpected supplies and the owners were so accommodating. We are looking at dates for our next visit! This place is truly a keeper for us. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!!

Upstairs

The first bedroom at the top of the stairs is really just a loft, and access to the 3 bedrooms upstairs is sequential - i.e., you have to walk through the first to get to the second and through both of them to get to the 3rd. The one bathroom upstairs is only accessible via the middle bedroom.

Another Perfect Stay

This is our 2nd year at this beautiful property and once again we had a fabulous time. The property is very secluded and private, perfect for a getaway with family. We spent most of the time relaxing on the screened porch overlooking the lake while watching the kids fish off the floating dock, wading in the water, and running around the massive back yard. The owners are absolutely fantastic. They are very accommodating and always quick to communicate! The internet connection was great and allowed us to stay in touch with work and family back home which was great considering the cell coverage in the area. Beautiful home with a great rustic history!

Blissful and Fun Family Vacation

Dad wants to chill with no one next door blaring their music, plus kayak and float for hours in a tranquil setting. Teens and the college kid want to paddleboard, swim, play games, relax with a movie and lounge before bed in a really cool, loft-like oasis. Mom wants all of that and to wake up with a beautiful view of the lake plus a kitchen that has everything the family needs to prepare and enjoy fun meals together. We had it all and would come back in the future. Mayo Lake Park is just around the cove and it was easy to rent kayaks and paddleboards there. Kathy and Arch had floats, pool noodles, chairs by the water and an awesome dock with ladder. If you have a boat definitely bring it and launch from Mayo Park. This is one fine example of an artisan cabin featuring custom beams, rafters and notching details. It's fun to absorb the history, craftsmanship and textures around the cabin including the screened-in porch.

Could not love this place more than we do

We have stayed at this property several times, starting in 2014. The only problem is, after the first time, it became so popular we had trouble finding available space on the calendar! Absolute heaven for us, and for our Newfoundland dogs, who love to swim and go for walks on the trails. This year, we had our daughter's wedding at Mayo Park (just across the water, about 3 miles by car) and the staff over there couldn't have been nicer. Kathy and Arch are wonderful.

Gorgeous, cozy gem of a cabin

We booked this incredible cabin for a post-Christmas “unplugged” getaway for two adults, five kids ages 6-12, and our dog. Being inside the cabin felt like traveling back in time with the rustic decor and charming furnishings, but with all the modern conveniences to make our stay so comfortable. We couldn’t believe how well-stocked this home was - linens, towels, cookware, dishes, silverware, cleaning supplies, extra blankets; literally everything we needed we were able to find. It looked like the microwave was brand new. We brought our fishing rods, and our kids loved fishing off the dock and playing hide and seek in the woods around the house. We all loved grilling dinner and cozying up for family games and movies. We visited local attractions Palace Pointe for bowling and World of Sports for go-cart racing and laser tag. We hope we can return again in the summer; our kids are already asking when we can come back. Thank you for the most relaxing and lovely stay!

This secluded log cabin did not disappoint

The cabin is accurately described, clean, and well-appointed. We chose this cabin for its proximity to VIR, which is just over 30 minutes away. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive before and during our stay. Nearby Roxboro town center provides a multitude of dining and shopping options. Overall a great value and a wonderful place to stay for a large group or family.
