The cabin and location were absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. Everything was very clean and comfortable. They even have donkeys and donkey treats (carrots)! The host was awesome! They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Even had the fireplace running so it would be warm when we got there. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. You won’t regret it!

We loved our stay! The cabin was cozy, exceptionally clean, and looked exactly as described in the pictures. The view of rolling green pastures, cows, and 3 sweet rescue donkeys was extremely peaceful. Carol and Robert were wonderful, attentive hosts. The extra touches, such as farm-fresh eggs and biscuits, along with honey and sweet treats for our anniversary, made us feel especially welcome. Our stay at Winters Haven was truly a tranquil retreat, loving it so much we booked a weekend in the fall before leaving.

One of the warmest welcomes I've had at a rental! Carol and Robert were spectacular hosts. When we arrived we found fresh cookies set out for us, a little jar of local honey, eggs and biscuits in the fridge, and a sweet welcome note. The cabin itself was gorgeous - small enough to be cozy but open enough to not feel cramped. The holiday decorations were a nice touch. The kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals and bake our own cookies. There was a bit of a delay in being able to use the fireplace because the propane delivery truck was later than anticipated, but there were plenty of heaters in the cabin, along with electric blankets, that kept us warm and comfortable. Carol was extremely responsive and kept us informed without any issue. We had no cell service (Verizon and AT&T) but the wi-fi was plenty strong for our needs. The view was spectacular, and even though the donkeys never came close to visit with us, we enjoyed watching them in the distance and appreciated that there were treats available for them on the porch. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We came up for our anniversary. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It felt remote but was convenient to several towns. The owner/manager had the home ready for us with surprise treats to celebrate our anniversary. She was very communicative, and made us feel cared for as if we were staying in a bed-and-breakfast. The GPS doesn’t give correct directions once you get off the main road. There were directional signs that were very helpful along with the directions provided. We look forward to staying again!

The cabin was warmed by a cozy fireplace upon our arrival on a wet, cold night. The beds and sofas all had electrical blankets if needed. We even enjoyed the little heating unit in the bathroom. We appreciated great water pressure and plenty of hot water for showering. Everything was so clean and absolutely the most stunning view from the front porch. We only had a tiny bit of trouble operating the splits heater unit but that’s on us. I highly recommend this gorgeous, safe, quiet, comfortable, clean cabin with such gracious hosts.
Say hey to the cows and donkeys.

Winter's Haven is a great place to stay. The cabin had all the amenities of home. The peaceful serenity of this charming cabin offers the ability to relax and unwind in solitude while still being close to area attractions. We would definitely love to stay here again

This property was wonderful and was more than what was in its descriptions. It has beautiful views and though out of town and remote very easy to get to the hiking areas nearby including Grayson and Mount Rogers. The owners were awesome and responded to every inquiry very promptly and thoroughly. Couldn't recommend this place any higher

Amazingly relaxing and peaceful cabin

My partner and I couldn't think more highly of this property. The cabin is very comfortable, clean, and well-kept. It was such a nice convenience to have a washer/drier on hand after hiking the AT for a day. The communication with the owner was clear and the check-in process was smooth. There is ample signage to help guests find the cabin on the scenic drive into the property.The views are beautiful, overlooking a field with mountains in the distance. We especially enjoyed seeing the cows and donkeys, and loved feeding the donkeys a few carrots.The property is so peaceful, and it was really the perfect spot to come and relax for a week. We would absolutely like to stay here again the next time we're in the area!
The cabin faces the sunsets just right

Great stay

Selected this VRBO due to its proximity to the Appalachian Trail and extending a couple additional nights because we were enjoying it so much. The hosts were fantastic and readily available for anything we needed. The home was cozy and comfortable and the hosts had it stocked with everything we could need. The scenery around the home was picturesque. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at.
