Patrick was an awesome host. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions. He was also gracious enough to use his truck and help bring our belongings to the tent. We would definitely stay there again!!

Patrick was a great host! His property is beautiful and it is extremely high value. My boyfriend and I had such a serene weekend. We will be back!
Amazing getaway and amazing host! When we arrived, Patrick was available and guided us to the cabin. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and has a fantastic property. The cabin is a good hike into the woods, and provides an escape from the world. The cabin is clean with running water, a propane stove, and a fire pit out front. The outhouse is nice, and is far enough away from the cabin to provide privacy.
We will be back!

This was the coolest little place❤️. If you want to relax and unwind you should definitely check this out. Patrick is a great host. Very familiar with the area and willing to help with anything that is needed. Definitely a hidden gem!
This was the perfect weekend getaway! The property, gardens, and the hut were beautiful. Patrick's craftsmanship can be seen throughout the hut and he made this hut perfectly. It was so peaceful and cozy. Patrick is also the man! He was the best host, making sure we had everything we needed and helping us set up for a relaxing trip. Would recommend this wonderful stay to everyone!

The hut at Ra Ridge was great. I am a female and stayed there alone and felt very safe. Patrick is beyond helpful and the hut has almost everything you need. Pack light! There is a bit of a walk, downhill on the way there, but all of the essentials are there- bring food, drinks (besides water, it’s there) and clothes. The fire pit is so nice and well constructed, it really makes this a great spot to camp even when it’s cold. There are two dogs that like to hang out and that made me feel even more comfortable, they were very sweet.
We absolutely loved this thoughtful, beautifully crafted hut in the woods. Patrick was an outstanding host, he has created a magical haven in the beautiful Virginia mountains!

This is a wonderful place, that is private and quiet. Patrick has provided the amenities needed to have a wonderful retreat in the woods. I plan to go again sometime in the fall when the leaves are changing and can maybe fire up the wood stove.

Patrick was an awesome host. He is very easy going and there to help you with anything that you need. The hut has almost everything that you could possibly need and it is beautifully constructed. There are lots of little trails around the area and another place to shower in. The fire place has seats on it and firewood is provided, which was great. The hut is very easy to get away from everything. We will be back and would recommend visiting!

A great place for being still with my God! Patricj was a great host as usual@
Patrick was a wonderful host, very responsive, and extremely nice. Upon arriving, he met us and helped cart our stuff down to the hut, which is down a little trail from his house and in the woods. To my surprise, I had full cell service at the hut (Verizon) so that was a plus. The hut itself was everything we needed, we cooked dinner both nights on the stove and hung out by the fire pit and enjoyed the serenity of the woods. The 2nd night of our stay, Patrick's dog Trixie slept outside our hut and watched over us...she is a very sweet and gentle dog. During the day, we trekked out to Grayson Highlands State Park, which is a must do and just as good if not better than some of the national parks we hiked around on our trip. The views of the Blue Ridge Mtn's were unbeatable. After a long hot day in the sun, it was nice to be able to take a shower in the pool house, which Patrick had built on his property as well. If you enjoy peace and quiet in the woods, then the hut is a great place to get away from it all. Thank you Patrick!

Patrick was very accommodating and gave a thorough tour. The campsite was very nice. The pictures don't do this place justice. We would definitely go back! This was our first HipCamp experience and we couldn't have asked for a better host or accomodations. Thank you Patrick for allowing us to rent your beautiful Handmade Hut in The Woods.

This was the perfect little escape.
I regret that I was in town for business, because I would’ve liked to have a day dedicated to exploring the property and enjoying everything Patrick has done with the place.
The woods were wonderful to sleep in, the bed was comfortable, and the sounds helped me drift to sleep. Mornings were beautiful and peaceful.
Everything I could’ve needed was there. I will be going back, hopefully soon!
We enjoyed our 2 nights at Ra Ridge very much and plan to return. The hut was cozy, comfortable and well appointed with everything from basic kitchen needs to chairs and blankets for outside, flashlights, solar lights and earplugs for whippoorwills should they become annoying. Patrick is very accommodating and concerned for your comfort . The property is beautiful and peaceful and shows the decades of love and work that has gone into it.
He is careful to disinfect the hut during these pandemic days.
This property is well located for exploring the highland region. We hiked to the Channels one day and did a long loop through Grayson Highland State Park the next day.

Patrick was very hospitable, this place was a quiet retreat. A pleasant and comfortable stay!
Patrick has an absolutely amazing thing going on. His place can only be described as a dream for the nature lover. This was my first time using Hipcamp and with Patrick’s attention to detail and his accommodating nature I don’t know how the experience could have been any better!
We needed some isolated time in nature, and with this hut, we got it. Patrick was a great host that provided us with all the information we needed in a hand written hut manual that he provided us upon arrival. The attention to detail that Patrick has put into this hut is ever apparent and you can see that it was a labor of love. The hut is in a beautiful location, close to a stream with little waterfalls, as well as a short hike to a beautiful overlook. It also came stocked with basic necessities for cooking, first aid, cleaning, and more. We also very much enjoyed the fire pit with the built in rock seats. This was the perfect wooded escape that we were searching for and I wish we couldn’t stayed a little longer. We would definitely return for another visit and hope to do so in the near future.
