About this property
Blue Ridge Mountain 'Solitude' on The Little River
This Appalacian Log Cabin 'Solitude' is an especially cool place to just 'BE'! It's Rustic, Charming, Romantic and quite Rejuvenating while located on The Little River & creekside waters. Soothing sounds of nature are all surrounding while you breathe calming Fresh Air. Beautiful logs & chinking INTERIOR is so much more welcoming & special compared to other rentals. The Rock Patio with fireplace is a grounding place to gather alone with a book or connect with each other. The (2) white rockers & table on the front porch are great for your breakfast with your morning coffee or 5 o-clock cocktail viewing a focal point of the babbling creek and rhododendrons.
Spend a few days in this unique spirit lifting space to take the weight of the world off your shoulders.
FROM INDOORS - The living room has The Little River right out the windows and is such a delight. Watch your loved ones playing in the river without stepping foot outside. Watch a Roku movie or listen to BLUEGRASS or the BLUES for something different. Read, write or journal a few pages. Draw or Paint. Rig up your fishing pole at a leisurely pace.
PROVIDED - Gather together for meal prep time in the charming open kitchen. Cabin Solitude provides all soaps, paper products, salt & pepper, K-Cup coffee, Mr Coffee filters, (but bring your own ground coffee for the Mr Coffee) or attempt to make the most tasteful coffee the old fashioned way in the stove tope TIN PERCOLATOR. Grill perfect steaks on the outdoor grill located on the rock porch. (sorry, No garbage disposal or dishwasher, thus no irritating sounds competing with 'Solitude'.) Linens & towels, Wi-Fi, Smart TV and roasting sticks for the fireplace.
SLEEP - Sleep deeply in the comfortable QUEEN Bed or up the timbered staircase to find the loft area with (2) lovely TWIN beds.
BATHROOMS - Choose to soak your troubles away in the antique claw tub (soaking salts are provided) or clean up in the upstairs shower. BE AMUSED while you wash your hands and brush your teeth in these most unique sinks!
OUTDOORS ON THE PROPERTY - Spend a special day exploring The Little River (the largest tributary to the NEW RIVER). You can jump and play in it. You can paint it, write it, photograph it or simply cast for Brown, Brook & Rainbow Trout or Black Bass. There are Sculpin and also the Kanawha and Sharpnose Darters! You'll be amazed at Mother Nature's Appalachian habitats, animals and a huge variety of plant life by taking a WALK IN the river or up the hillside road. You may catch a view of white tailed deer, turkey, blue river heron, red tailed hawks, red squirrel, coyote, the downstream beaver, fox and even a local cow.
Bring your old shoes to do the childhood adventure of "River & Creek Walk'. Flip flat rocks and be pleasantly surprised at salamanders or crawfish! Be so still to watch white tail deer drinking from the delicate flowing waters.
Kick back later in the Soaring Rock Fireplace porch for your evening fire. Make S'mores or simply play cards then cuddle up together while watching the flickering flames.
This is a "best & easy GETAWAY" for people from Charlotte and Greensboro to quickly drive the scenic 1 & 1/2 hours.
It is 45 minutes WEST driving US - 21 from I-77. 7 miles west of the Blue Ridge Parkway (MP 229) & 7 miles east of Sparta.
Biking or Running is amazing on The Blue Ridge Parkway. Drive or hike the beautiful Doughton State Park (MP 240) to find the Brinegar Cabin and the Basin Creek Trail to the Historic Caudill Cabin. Drive down the mountain to Stone Mountain State Park for fishing, hiking and touring the Historic Hutchinson Homestead. There are plenty of public golf courses for the golf addict. In December, Cut your Christmas Tree & Photograph Cow Country, Attend Downtown Live Bluegrass & Clogging, visit & leisure the Coffee Shops & Art & Craft Galleries. Attend an Indoor workout at The Alleghany Wellness Center & Pool. There are plenty of local events taking place throughout the year in and around town. You have multiple countryside wineries for Wine Tasting enthusiasts. Your best bet is to Simply REST, BREATHE & RELAX near the river, the pines and rhododendrons while enjoying the sounds of 'Solitude'.

This cabin is truly paradise! We will definitely be back. Joann was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. The view is even better than the pictures. I can’t imagine how it is blanketed in snow!
My brothers and I have been coming here for many years and it never disappoints! It's in an incredible location with many outdoor activities to do and we love it!
We've stayed here many times and it gets better and better each time. Just being out by the river with no cares or worries for a few days is the oerfect way to reset and recharge! The cabin is perfect and we made a lot of good meal in the awesome kitchen. The fireplace outside is where we spent hours each night. Just overlal, one of our favortie places to go and get away! And Joann is awesome! :)
Charming cabin! Spent most of our time outdoors by the fire and gazing at the river. Clean and comfortable. Already planning a return visit. The host was quick to replying during the booking process. Everything was just perfect. Thank you.
We enjoyed the perfectly cozy cabin and springtime in the high country. The property is a perfect balance of woods and meadow that creates a sense of an old homestead. It’s an escape to a simpler time and place that leaves one thankful for a chance to just be amongst the beautiful scenery and solitude.
Joann was the perfect host and made us feel welcome and special. We will return for another visit soon.
If you are looking for a beautiful, secluded mountain get away yet only minutes from town and the parkway, look no further. We will return again and again to this idyllic mountain cabin.
We rented the cabin for a relaxing getaway with friends. I can't express how happy we were with our stay at Solitude! The cabin is completely private and absolutely beautiful! All the small details were very impressive. We hope to return next year!
We live about and hour from Sparta. This was a weekend getaway for us moms. It was so relaxing, especially the sound of the River and then the fireplace at night. Can’t wait to visit again.
From the moment we drove up to the property, I knew this was going to be the vacation we were expecting. We wanted seclusion, beautiful scenery, cozy lodging, and water. All the boxes were checked with this one. The great thing is it's secluded, but also close to stores and downtown Sparta. We sat on the front porch in comfy rocking chairs each morning with coffee, and sat on the back patio at night by the outdoor fireplace. The river is shallow, so walking it is easy. My husband and son found many fishing holes nearby within walking distance from the house. We would love to go back to this house again, and we are already looking forward to it!
We loved our stay! Joann is terrific and very communicative. The cabin and the property are lovely. There were ticks this year, which hadn't been the case before, and she was super-responsive in getting a treatment done for the property. A really wonderful getaway. Thanks!
I was so pleased with the cabin by the river! The doe and fawn greeted us daily, because after all, it is their property. Thanks Joann for sharing this amazing property
