Cozy Cabin, Pioneer Lodge, Hot Tub, min from Blue Ridge

Looking for a true cabin-in-the-woods escape? Pioneer Lodge offers the perfect place to unplug and unwind. Tucked into the forest, this cozy retreat blends rustic charm with the comforts of home, making it easy to settle in and relax from the moment you arrive. In our pet-free cabin you can enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a private hot tub for winding down after a day outdoors. Step right outside to a nearby hiking trail and explore the natural beauty that surrounds the cabin. Whether you’re planning a quiet romantic weekend or a laid-back family getaway, Pioneer Lodge is a welcoming space designed for rest, connection, and time well spent in nature.

Upstairs is the King bed accompanied with a trundle daybed with 2 twin mattresses. There is a half-bathroom as well with a wall AC unit.

Downstairs bedroom contains a Queen bed with a ceiling fan and wall AC/Heater unit. An iron and ironing board are located in the closet should you need it.

The downstairs living area contains generous seating and a sunroom, with some provided board games and space to gather together.

The kitchen is fully stocked with most things you'll need, from cooking utensils to small appliances like a microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker and drip coffee pot. We even have a slow cooker if you want to cook something while you're out all day. Plenty of dishes and table settings for the 4-6 people staying. We do not have a dishwasher, so consider bringing disposable products if you wish. There is a garbage disposal, but be aware of what goes down the drain as the cabin is on a septic system.

The cabin is equipped with high-speed WIFI, allowing you to log into your streaming accounts or play free movies through the Roku App on all our Smart Tv's located in the bedrooms and living room.

The hot tub is located out the sliding door on the deck with plenty of towels for your use. It is cleaned and chemically treated after each guest. Use caution when enjoying the hot tub and be aware of the posted rules for your safety. You will also notice plenty of seating on the deck and a charcoal grill for your use.

The outdoor fire pit is located behind the cabin in an open space area. Utilize the outdoor lighting and provided firewood, but also use caution with fire in the woods.

*ACCESSIBILITY: We would not recommend this place if you rely on a wheelchair or have difficulty with steps as there are no ramps and there is a staircase from the driveway into the cabin.

* The cabin is in the woods so you may see/hear critters and/or bears (trash must be placed in bear proof trash bin).

* Gravel Road: There is a gravel road to access the property that's drivable by all vehicles, but as with all gravel roads - there are some pot holes especially after it rains. The drive way itself is a little steep, but shouldn't be an issue (unless you're pulling a trailer). Plenty of space for 2-3 vehicles.

* AMENITIES:
We provide towels, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, coffee, salt and pepper, oil, toilet paper, paper towels & trash can liners. THINK OF THESE ITEMS AS "STARTER KITS" - We recommend you bring additional items that you feel that you may need. A starter set of firewood is provided, but charcoal is not. If other guests leave items like spices or left over charcoal you are more than welcome to use them.

* The full bathroom in the cabin is downstairs, so if anyone in your group will be staying in the upstairs, be prepared to use the shower downstairs.
