Quiet and small little cottage extremely clean and tidy even under the furniture. It had a nice little stream right on the other side of the driveway. Our dog particularly enjoyed rolling in cool grassy lawn!

Hiking-Family Vacation

The Grey Cabin was a perfect "base camp" that we came home to each evening after we hiked in Grayson Highlands. We loved eating outside on the porch and listening to the creek as well as sitting around the fire ring at night. The location is perfect and within a very short drive of the park!

Very cozy cottage. Host was very thoughtful in providing things one would normally forget when on a road trip such as canola oil spray and paper towels. It was a very relaxing area.

Relaxing getaway

Had a wonderful time at this cosy cabin. Plenty of blankets but never even needed the heat. Sat around the fire it was so relaxing. All the modern conveniences made our stay very comfortable. We went hiking and celebrated a birthday at a fancy restaurant in Abingdon. Fall colors were spectacular.

We enjoyed our stay

We stayed for just on night. The cabin was nice, it's a nice old cabin, floors were squeaky and loud, but I guess that added to the charm. The only complaint is the twin beds were as hard as a rock, felt like laying on plywood. Seeing the devastation in the area was also heartbreaking. The location was perfect for us to enjoy our family in Grassy Creek.

Grayson Highlands pony viewing

The gray cabin was cute, comfortable and conveniently close to Grayson Highlands State Park. I saw many ponies, including famous Fabio. Picturesque Big Wilson Creek is next door to the cabin. The mountains are beautiful. The people at the two general stores are friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cute little Cabin

Clean, perfect for our family trip to the VA Creeper trail bike ride as well as to Grayson Highlands to hike some of the AT. We didn’t get to use the onsite arcade or movie theater bc you needed change (change machine broken in the arcade) and then it was rainy so we didn’t pull our car around for a movie but still so cool to have right there and for free! Thanks for a great stay!
