Imagine a getaway in the Blue Ridge Mountains that combines a quiet setting and historic charm with easy access to all that the area has to offer. Newly renovated, The Cabins make this dream a reality. The 14-acre property is located only 3 miles from charming Sperryville and less than 10 from Washington, Virginia. It is just 11 mi. from the entrance to Skyline Drive and 10.6 mi. from Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. 🏚️🌳The Cabins consist of a Main House with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, an oversized detached 2-bay garage with an unfinished room above, the Guest Cabin with 1 bedroom and 2 baths, the former Tasting Room cabin with 1 bath, the Studio with a deck that overlooks the creek, and a beautifully crafted covered bridge. 🏚️🌳During their heyday The Cabins saw famous musicians come to jam on the porches and the tasting room housed VA's only meadery, serving excellent honey wine made with honey produced on site. The property's history goes back even further, with the actual age of some of the log buildings lost to time. 🏚️🌳Beaverdam Creek bounces over boulders and meanders its way melodiously between The Cabins. Spanning this sprightly stream is a remarkable covered footbridge that is an architectural work of art. In mid-span there are built-in benches and space for a table. Adding to the intrigue, a plexiglass panel allows one to spy on fish from above. 🏚️🌳The Main House is part log cabin and part Cape Cod with cedar siding and a standing-seam metal roof. The seemingly disparate halves are cleverly knitted together by a bright, airy entrance foyer just off the old-style front porch. The newer part of the home has an open floor plan with living, dining, and open kitchen area all flowing together. There is a chimney in the center with a wood stove in the kitchen and a fireplace in the living room. This part of the home has a main-floor bedroom and a full bath. The log cabin side has a cozy den with a flue for a wood stove, the perfect spot on a chilly winter evening. 🏚️🌳Just outside the kitchen door is a large screened-in porch that is ideal for outdoor entertaining. The porch leads out to a fenced back yard and an in-ground pool with a pleasing organic shape. Swim with the mountain laurel-covered hillside as your Blue Ridge Mountains backdrop. 🏚️🌳The upper floor boasts an owner's suite that encompasses the entire newer side of the home. This private space includes ample closets, a full bath, and an oversized bedroom with a fireplace and plenty of space for a seating area. The log cabin side has an additional bedroom featuring a hand-carved headboard made by local artist Peter Kramer, and a full bath with a claw-foot tub. 🏚️🌳The cozy Guest Cabin is also partially log and partially frame with a standing-seam metal roof and a rustic porch. It has a separate driveway and was used as a rental home in the past. The main floor has a kitchen/dining area, a living area with a wood stove on a fieldstone hearth, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs there is another seating area and a bedroom with a full bath. Sunlight streams in the large windows and the sound of Beaverdam Creek serenades you from below. 🏚️🌳The third log building is the old meadery’s former Tasting Room. Unlike the other buildings, the unusual Tasting Room sports a stunning thatched roof with decorated and shingled eaves. It is set up for overnight guests, with a kitchenette and 1 full bath. 🏚️🌳Tucked next to the Main House, the Tiny Cottage sits partially hidden by trees and awaits your imagination. 🏚️🌳The Studio is the most recently built structure and could be used in multiple ways. Perhaps an artist's work space, yoga room, or writer’s retreat? It has a standing-seam roof and a beautiful, curved deck overlooking the creek. 🏚️🌳Steeped in charm and possibilities, The Cabins are ready for you to write a new chapter in a long and interesting story. 🏚️🌳
