The Easy Plateau - Sauna, Fire Pit & Endless Views

***4WD/AWD Vehicle Highly Recommended***

Slow down and breathe deep at The Easy Plateau, a cozy mountain retreat tucked away on a private mountaintop.

Sip coffee on the porch at sunrise, spin records in the loft, warm up in the indoor sauna and gather by the fire pit under a sky full of stars. With two inviting bedrooms, a wraparound deck, and modern comforts (fast Wi-Fi, full kitchen, cozy bedding), it’s the perfect hideaway for rest, reconnection, and a touch of mountain magic.

The cabin is perfect for slow mornings, starry nights, and the quiet in between. With its wraparound porch, warm wood tones, and peaceful setting, this cabin is where time stretches and worries fade. The cabin feels a world away while just 15 minutes from I-77.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Wraparound covered deck with views for miles
- Private indoor 2 person sauna
- Cozy fire pit under the stars
- Fast Starlink Wifi for remote work or streaming
-Close to New River State Park
- Peaceful mountain setting, ideal for rest & reconnection

BEDROOMS:
- Main Floor Bedroom: Comfy King Bed, Dresser, Clothing rack, 55" Roku TV
- Upstairs: Comfy Queen Bed, Clothing rack, 55" Roku TV

LIVING AREA + KITCHEN:
The open living space invites you to unwind — sink into the oversized chair, curl up on the sofa, or share a movie on the 65" Roku TV. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for your favorite meals, with essentials like coffee, creamers, oil, and spices provided along with pots and pans, dishware, crock pot, dual Keurig coffee maker (Drip and K-cups), toaster and utensils. Dine together at the table for four or linger at the breakfast bar with your morning cup.

BATHROOM + SAUNA:
Unwind in the warmth of your indoor sauna, tucked away in the privacy of the full bathroom. It’s the perfect way to restore after a day of hiking, exploring, or simply doing nothing at all.

DECK + LOFT:
Step out onto the wraparound covered deck to greet the day from the rocking chairs out front or sip something special as the sun sets over the trees.
Upstairs, the loft is its own little sanctuary — a reading nook with a record player, soft light, and a cozy spot to write, think, or simply be. A small office with a desk offers space for reflection or remote work (fast Starlink internet keeps you connected, if you choose to be).

OUTDOORS:
At night, gather around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. Grill dinner on the charcoal BBQ or enjoy a picnic in the fresh mountain air (BYO charcoal and firewood).

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
AWD/4WD required for the steep gravel drive (most 2WD cars won’t make it). Parking is available at the bottom if needed — it’s a bit of a walk up with luggage and not highly recommended although doable.

The cabin has central heat and A/C. Upstairs can get warm on hot days or cool during evenings but fans will circulate the air and there are space heaters if it gets chilly upstairs.

The cabin is made up with towels, bed linens, soaps, starter K-cups of coffee, basic spices, and paper goods — just bring your essentials and settle in. Bring along some firewood and charcoal if you wish to use those amenities.

NEARBY:

You’re 15–20 minutes from New River State Park and about 25-40 minutes from the charming small towns of Galax, Hillsville, and Wytheville — perfect for a day trip or antique hunt before returning to your mountain hideaway.

OUTDOOR CAMERA: There is an outdoor camera facing the outside staircase/entrance. It is on 24/7 and can record video and sound.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Must read!

This property is beautiful and the house is wonderful. It is very important that anyone who stays here is aware of the steepness of the driveway! My car could not make it up. I had read the reviews that warned me and I just thought they were over reacting. They were not. I had to haul my stuff in from half way up because my car could not make it any farther up. If you have kids or are traveling with anyone with a disability, make sure you have a good four wheel drive! That being said, it was incredible and I loved it. Allison was amazing and I got some blissful rest.

Amazing get away!!

It was quiet and secluded, and gave my girlfriend and I a chance to unplug from our day to day lives in the city. The place was clean and orderly. Close by was the New River trial which we took advantage of. There isn’t any negative things I can say other than the flood lights were a little too sensitive and were going off all night. Which could be because of our deer friends or just a branch in the wind. The drive up the hill was fun because I have a Jeep and off-roading is its thing. Overall I would definitely come stay again and make this a regular visit.

Cabin retreat

A friend and I stayed at this cabin 3 nights to do some walleye fishing on the New River. It was a little hard to find, but that is the only negative about this place. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable and inviting. Could not have envisioned a better stay for our trip.

Perfect cabin overlook

A great piece of property with views for days. Had all the amenities we needed. Will definitely return one day. Note: we were able to make it up the driveway in a 2WD pickup with a running start, but regular cars or minivans will struggle. Absolutely worth the climb.

The cabin is impeccably clean and very nicely decorated. The wrap around porch is an ideal place to relax. Views from two sides are really gorgeous. It is definitely a treasure in Max Meadows. If we're in the area again, I hope to stay there.

Perfect for a getaway

Cabin was exactly as described, and a perfect remote hideaway to relax for a few days. Very much enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the sunrise and sunset. Clean, well stocked with items we needed for cooking and grateful to be able to bring our dogs where they enjoyed roaming around the property.

A great getaway spot.

We booked this great little cabin for visiting family in the area. It is very clean and communication from the host was excellent. The views are excellent and sunrises are truly spectacular. The advisory about the driveway is not exaggeration, since my truck is 4x4, it was not a n issue. The only way to get great vistas is by being high up.

More comfortable than a hotel and far more charming

Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference: a curved shower curtain rod, a supply of coffee and creamers, remote controls for the bedroom ceiling fans. Despite how rustic the cabin is, our stay was more comfortable than in most hotels. The unit was sparkling clean upon our arrival, to boot. The listing is not exaggerating about the driveway. Our F-150 was fine in 4WD but we tried it once in 2WD and would not have made it. The wraparound porch was a perfect place to spend most of our time, enjoying the view and watching the hawks and occasional deer. There’s a flying squirrel living in the birdhouse by the driveway who watched us in return. :) 10/10 would highly recommend.
