Camp Bear Wallow, Virginia

The Weaver Cabin is one of three nearly identical cabins constructed in 1957, as a family camp, Camp Bear Wallow, by Shenandoah Valley natives. This mid-century, cinderblock dry Cabin, is situated in the middle of the three cabins, on it's own 2.5 wooded acres, with a stream running through the middle. 
Camp Bear Wallow is at the base of the mountain, just one mile from the National Forest.

The toilet is a clean Johnny house, with toilet paper and cedar shavings, to keep things fresh. There is extra toilet paper, in the cabin, which you may want to take out with you — on cool winter nights, warm toilet paper is nice. :-)

Cleaning products are located below the pantry, if you need them, but we have a cleaning team, just leave the place broom swept, with dishes clean, we’ll take care of the rest!
