The cabin was perfectly equipped with some creature comforts while still being off grid! It felt completely private and a million miles away while still being close for day trip and services as needed.

This was a nice, quiet, and secluded little spot that was perfect for my husband and I to get away, unplug, and focus on just us.

We had such a great time at the off grid cabin! We would definitely stay here again and we actually now have put having a cabin like this on our bucket list. It was nice to have a sturdy shelter that differed from other camping sites. No electricity/running water in the cabin, but there was a gas stove and gas grill for cooking food, a wood stove inside for heat (although we didn’t need it at all and it got down to 42 when we were there), an outhouse a short walk away, and a dish washing station and trash can behind the cabin. Laura provided a perfect amount of firewood for the stay and this site was incredibly private. We got to see some cows on the way in but didn’t see any of the other animals. It was very peaceful with the creek right out front and there was very minimal noise from the roads nearby. The campsite was incredibly clean- I tried to leave it better than I found it but didn’t see any litter to pick up!
Some tips for your stay:
There was a lot of poison ivy around the cabin, so I’d recommend knowing how to identify it so you can avoid it. When we got home, I found a tick on myself, so be prepared with bug spray with deet and/or long sleeves and long pants and definitely check yourself for ticks! It’s the price you pay for enjoying the outdoors, but it definitely did not make me enjoy this place less.
Even with the tick bite, we would still highly recommend staying here!

Our stay was lovely! The wood stove and well-insulated walls kept us cozy at night in mid-November. The propane stove setup was perfect for cooking. The outhouse was private but not far from the cabin. Reflective strips on the trees along the path to the cabin were so helpful as we arrived after the sun had set. The bed is lofted so be aware that you’ll be climbing up/down a ladder. A couple miles north is The Farm Stand which had butter we forgot to pack and coffee beans we’re excited to try.

Laura and her property are absolutely wonderful! The cabin is beautiful and cozy with the wood stove. We have been to this property 3 times now and love it more and more! From lamps to dishes to a grill and as much wood as you can burn, this spot has just about everything you will need! Laura is also incredibly responsive and I so appreciate her hospitality! We hope to be back again 😊😊

I really enjoyed the peace and simplicity of the Creekside Cabin. It had everything I needed, including dishes, silverware, a great cast iron pan, and a French press. Laura was very responsive and helpful with the handful of questions that I had. I definitely recommend it for an off-grid escape.

Our second time here did not disappoint! Laura, as always, was helpful, friendly, and left plenty of firewood! The cabin comes equipped with just about everything you could need! Just bring your personal items and food! We enjoyed the library as well, with plenty of reading options! We love this spot, and will definitely be back again!

We have a wonderful weekend! The cabin and everything at the site were perfect. Laura thought of just about everything one would need, such as linens, dishes/silverware, lights, chairs, books and games and puzzles! We enjoyed yummy dinners on the grill and Propane stove and sipped tea in the morning thanks to the tea kettle! Really, just bring food, clothes and yourself and you're set! The brook babbling was such a peaceful sound. And Laura provided more than enough firewood 😊 there even was a very friendly black kitty who visited us both nights! We will definitely be back. Thank you Laura for a great time!

My stay was absolutely wonderful. The cabin feels very secluded (even in winter without much foliage) and I was able to stay plenty warm with the wood stove and firewood that was provided. The inside of the cabin was very clean and had all the basics you need to cook for a few days. The bed was comfortable and the window looking out onto the creek was very peaceful. I would definitely stay again.

A wonderful get away yet a short drive from Richmond. Quiet, peaceful, and directions and information were clear. It was fun to visit the animals. When we needed something Laura was quick to respond - even on Thanksgiving day!

What a lovely spot on Laura's property. The initial walk down the trail to the cabin is a journey in itself. You come upon a glade of ferns that surrounds the creek, and there's the cabin with a meadow of tall cloud-like flowers beyond it. The setup was thoughtful, cozy, and functional. There was a ton of privacy, too.
We made any meals on the wood stove, and enjoyed fires in the awesome firepit. Laura made sure the porch was stocked with firewood before we arrived. The Twin Oaks hammock (nice) overlooks the meadow and was perfect for reading and napping. The outhouse was as clean and inviting as an outhouse possibly could be. There were spare linens supplied and the bed was comfortable and came with pillows. We didn't have to prepare much as the cabin was supplied with all of the basics, even an igloo of potable water out back. The dish washing set up was easy to use. Some fun creatures were seen like deer, hawks, frogs, and lots of cool insects. Crickets sang us to sleep each night. In the morning the sun reflects off of the creek onto the trees nearby.
We tried to walk the trail on the property but reached a point where it was impossible to decipher how to continue, perhaps due to fallen trees. We spent a while wandering around trying to scout out where the trail went but had to turn around. As other reviews said, there are distant noises- some neighbors, cars passing, dogs barking incessently. I wasn't bothered and would love to come visit again and meet the goats!

The Creek Side Cabin is a secluded escape, outfitted with all the necessities for the time off the grid.
As the name implies, there are a couple solar lights and little cell service. The cabin is only a five minute walk from the main home, but the woods hide you completely. At night, the woods hum with crickets, cicadas, and the occasional owl.
Even the small library will slow you down a bit to think a bit more deeply.

This cabin was perfect. Quiet, private, easy to find, and plenty of thoughtful features. We had a fire each night, cooked out on the grill, and slept well. We will be back!

My fiancé and I were looking for a place to relax and escape with nature for the weekend. Laura's Creekside Cabin widely exceeded those expectations. After a short and beautiful fern-laced walk from our car, we immediately felt disconnected. The Cabin and space gives the sense of being isolated in nature, while providing the accommodations and simple touches that make it comfortable. We loved cooking on the outdoor stove and grill, and spent much our afternoon laying in the hammock. The fireflies were out each night and it was truly enchanting. The cabin is cozy and provides comfortable sleeping in the loft. The babbling stream is a nice sleep aid. We had no cell service with verizon, which was a plus! We left feeling refreshed and happy. We'll be back!

My family loved staying in the cabin! The setting in the woods is magical and feels like there is nobody for miles. The cabin is lovely and it was fun living off grid for a few nights.

We loved staying in Laura's Creekside Cabin. It provided a quiet and secluded retreat away from everything! The gentle hypnotic sound of the creek drowns the worries away and puts you in the mood of peace and serenity. We would highly recommend if you want to unwind from your daily grind.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying at the creekside cabin. The directions were fool proof and Laura’s cabin provided all of the little things we forgot to bring!! Her cows came right up to the fence to greet us when we arrived too! The cabin was very cozy and more spacious than we expected. We spent our time cooking great food, listening to music by the bonfire and counting down the new year…. Waking up to the subtle sounds of the babbling creek was the cherry on top :) Thank you Laura!

We had a wonderful time, it felt very private and secluded but very comfortable.
I was a little worried about how cold it would get at night but the wood stove kept us super toasty.
We also loved seeing all the farm animals.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Off-grid Creekside Cabin. We loved feeling disconnected. We enjoyed watching the stars at night by the fire and making coffee and eggs in the morning. Laura, was responsive and accommodating to all our needs- thanks again Laura! We look forward to coming back.

Neat space! The cabin is nicely done; it’s clear the property is well cared for and the host is thoughtful in providing thoughtful touches for a unique experience. A great spot for a quiet getaway in nature with plenty of time around a bonfire. Host is very welcoming and responsive.

Laura's Creekside Cabin was great! My husband and I booked it last minute for just the two of us so we could extend our trip we had just been on with family. Despite no electricity or running water, Laura had thought of pretty much everything for staying comfortable (battery-operated lights, dishwashing station, wood stove for heat etc.). We enjoyed making dinner over the fire pit, relaxing by the stream, and taking the walking trail to meet the farm animals. I think what we liked best about it were the little details, like the mason jar "firefly" lights along the path to the cabin; it created a magical and peaceful vibe.

Beautiful cabin! Well kept and on such a nice piece of land! We went to celebrate Father’s Day for my husband this past weekend and had so much fun with our daughter and dogs! Laura was a great host and we had everything we needed to make our stay more comfortable! We would love to come back when it’s a little cooler outside so we can really enjoy everything this property has to offer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laura’s Off-the-grid cabin! We went there seeking some quiet time and it was absolutely perfect! The cabin was well equipped with everything you need and more from cooking utensils to solar powered lights, games, books and so much more! Each detail had clearly been thought through! The firepit was a highlight with comfy chairs & tables, additional firewood was also provided which our host Laura was kind enough to bring to us!! The cabin also had the cutest stove we used to keep us warm at night. The outhouse was spotless and did not make us miss a conventional bathroom at all! Visiting the animals, waking up to the sounds of the creek & chatting with Laura were a bonus that we thoroughly enjoyed!
