Cabin on the Seven Bends

1 site · Lodging1 acres · Woodstock, Shenandoah

Our dream was to own a log cabin on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Sixteen years ago we accomplished that dream, giving us access to a Shenandoah Valley treasure, and yes, we are on the first of the Seven Bends. Although we live in the main log cabin, we are happy to share our tiny living screened cabin over looking the river with many activities available to you. Although we are only minutes from I81, the setting is very private, in the woods behind our home. Park at the main cabin and hike 200 feet down the hill to the secluded River Cabin overlooking the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. You'll have river access for fishing, swimming and paddling (kayaks and canoes provided), or you can just sit on the dock and watch the sunset. Retreat back into the screened cottage for a quiet restful evening or relax on the deck by a fire. We are a Glamping site... like a hotel stay in the woods. Close by are 100's of miles of hiking trails and the charming town of Woodstock offering free concerts, some of Virginia's finest wineries, the Brewhouse and other great local restaurants... come explore and adore. There is also an auxiliary deck in the trees for pitching your own tent or sleeping under the stars for additional campers. During cooler months, we have enclosed the sleeping/changing areas and provide a small heater for some limited warmth. “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” ― John Muir

Fat Owl Farm

2 sites · Lodging1 acres · Pilot, Montgomery

Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned company in Floyd, Virginia, started by my mother, Sharon. We were staying at Treebones, a yurt 'glampground' in Big Sur, California, and fell in love with yurts together. My mom said, "I think I could build one of these," and the company was born! She does all the woodworking, using sustainable practices, with locally-sourced wood, and her best friend Kathy does the fabric end of things. I was one of her early guinea pigs, and love my yurt property dearly <3 This 24' yurt sits on a beautiful private acreage off an end-state maintenance road, with biking and hiking trails just a 20 minute drive from the touristy town of Floyd, Virginia. There's a steam shower sauna, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a deck overlooking the mountains with a table and seating. Enjoy!

Glamping in Virginia guide

Whether hiking and biking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, fly fishing and kayaking around Chesapeake Bay, or seeking out a quiet glamping getaway on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia is full of great glamping destinations. For the full glamping experience, choose a spot that combines the comforts of home—a queen-sized bed, kitchenette, and wifi—with camper favorites such as a hot tub, hammock, and a fire pit for toasting s’mores. Go glamping in a tipi by Sandy River's Adventure Park, cozy up in a treehouse with easy access to the hiking trails of Shenandoah National Park, or rent a glamping tent near the Appalachian Trail in Luray. Glamping is also possible in several Virginia State Parks—yurt rentals come with mountain views at Grayson Highlands State Park or beach access at First Landing State Park, just outside Virginia Beach. There’s even a luxury yurt with air-conditioning at Kiptopeke State Park.

Glamping in Virginia: What is glamping?

In Virginia, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in Virginia, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.
