Gittn' Pickled is temporarily closed. Hopefully reopening in 2025. News Flash! We now have Air Conditioning! Gittn' Pickled is located on VA620, a gravel road that doesn't see a lot of traffic. Trout Creek, a lively full year stream, is directly in front of the cabin and provides soothing sounds all day, and night. Gittn' Pickled is .6 miles Trail East of the Appalachian Trail on VA620. Appalachian Trail features Mcafees Knob, Dragon's Tooth, Audie Murphy Memorial, and Tinker Cliffs are just minutes away by motor vehicle. I've prepared a hiking guide to get you started. This is an awesome location to tackle the Triple Crown or just enjoy SW Virginia. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bZkMjAiJItDyPvifVL7sjVVtun9_xQP1/view?usp=sharing Pickles Branch terminates into Trout Creek here. Pickles Branch is a beautiful stream in a cool and richly forested terrain. All of the Miller Cove ground water empties into Pickle's Branch which can become very impressive during high water events. Miller Cove, within the Jefferson National Forest, is an area that was once occupied by a small active community. You will find foundations of old structures, springs, creeks, orchards, mushrooms, ramps, wildlife, and much more. Miller Cove can be accessed, by foot, directly from the site. It can be an especially interesting and pleasant hike without the inconvenience of shuttles and parking. Two bunkbeds are provided with four twin long (35x80) mattresses. These are new hospital bed mattresses with non-permeable covers. Four standard size pillows with non-permeable covers are also provided. You should bring additional bedding as desired; sheets, blankets, pillowcases, etc.

My friends and I returned to this spot multiple times because it's awesome. A cabin in nowhere with bunks and amenities can't be beat. Deer were on the porch when I pulled up and you can watch the creek dribble by. 11/10 would go again.

Such a wonderful stay. It was quiet and relaxing, definitely save the directions, as you will not have signal on some parts of the drive, but connecting to the Wi-Fi does allow you to call and text. We were even able to stream a little movie for the kids. Doug met us there and showed us around, but everything was pretty easy to use, and pretty well clean For being out in the woods. This place was so nice. It really was a great way to disconnect. Being so close to the AT is a huge plus too. We also had an opportunity to meet a couple of the locals, everyone was so kind! This is definitely a spot we would like to come back to! I don’t think that there is anything in particular that I could critique or criticize about this place, it was just a wonderful stay!
