Many people plan to explore the area but then often end up just enjoying the peace, quiet and views.
Over 2 miles of hiking paths on property available for guests to use. One of the paths takes you to the Rockfish River (about a 15 minute walk on wooded trails) where you can fish, swim or just take in the scenery and watch for wildlife. Rock hounds will enjoy the variety of quartz and other rocks they can find on these paths.

Relax on the covered back deck and enjoy a beautiful mountain view and the serenity of the woods, watching for local wildlife, birds, woodpeckers, deer, fox and sometimes a bear.

The cabin is located on the same wooded 90 acres property as the host's home (but not within sight) so we are usually available if needed during the stay.
WIFI - fiber network 100 mbps speed

WELL WATER- The cabin uses well water that is approved as safe for drinking and usage. The water has been tested and approved through the county health department. Well water, especially in mountainous areas will taste more minerally than "city water." If you do not like the taste of well water, a few starter bottled waters are provided for you. The water is filtered and softened through a system located in the cabin.

Please note that there is an exterior video security camera located on front of cabin, pointing to parking space. This is for security and self-check in only and will not affect your privacy. Alarm will not be set while guests are on site. There are NO cameras inside unit.

Sentosa Lane is a paved private driveway with a steep incline. The cabin has a short gravel parking area for 2 cars max. If snow/ice is expected during your stay, a 4WD is strongly advised.

Inclement weather/Internet/Electricity: We are in a rural area and have no control over such things as outages for power, internet, wifi, etc. Sometimes, internet will go in and out because of summer thunderstorms. Usually, it is restored fairly soon after the storm passes but not always. No refund will be given since these are rare occurrences and completely out of our control. If it is a long term event lasting days, the stay can be rescheduled. Departures due to inclement weather do not warrant refund of rent or deposit. We highly suggest Vacation Travel Insurance to account for situations such as this.

In case of power outage, there are small lanterns located in the bedroom closet and a flashlight on the refrigerator and next to the bed.

**Wildlife and Insects Disclaimer – This cabin is located in the woods with wildlife native to this area. Please be aware that there may be deer, raccoons, fox, squirrels, bears, raccoons, opossums, snakes, as well as other wildlife. The two snakes that are poisonous in this region are the Timber Rattler and the Copperhead. Please be aware of this when walking on the property and in the vicinity during warmer weather. Please close the lid firmly on outside trash can so as to not attract bears or other animals.

Depending on the time of year and the weather conditions, guests may encounter mosquitoes, gnats, “no see-ums” (tiny mosquito type bugs you can’t see but they bite) stink bugs, ladybugs, and other random bugs. Although we do have the cabin treated monthly, you may still see a random bug. We cannot control mother nature. You can help by keeping the doors closed, not opening doors at night when the lights inside are on and not leaving food out. We are unable to offer any guarantees against or refunds for the occasional bug that may make it inside our home. Thanks for understanding.


House Rules
No pets
Maximum occupancy - 2
No smoking inside or within 5’ of entrances if doors are open.
No parties or large gatherings. This will result in immediate vacate of the property without refund.
No outside fires (other than deck fire pit) because the house is in a heavily wooded area. We do have an outside propane fire pit that we ask you not to use if there are high winds.
This is a quiet place to find rest and peace. Please respect the serenity of our property for the sake of neighbors as well as wildlife.

Sentosa Cabin is a nature lover’s haven but we would like to leave nature and it’s residents outside. Please do not leave doors ajar as you may invite in unwanted pests such as mice, bugs or a possum (unlikely but possible). Lights on inside at night with the door open will invite a multitude of moths and bugs and possibly some larger critters you may not want to share your space with. Leaving food or trash outside unattended may also attract larger critters that you would not want to share your space with. Please be mindful that you are in a forest and you are the visitor.

Please respect our home as if it was your own.
Relax and enjoy yourselves.

Wonderful Stay
My wife and I stayed to celebrate our 11 year anniversary. The fall colors around the property were so beautiful. The cabin itself was very clean, well appointed, comfortable and serene. The back porch was perfect for sitting on a cool fall night/morning watching and listening to the wildlife. We cannot wait to stay here again.

Peaceful, relaxing, cozy and beautiful view
My husband and I escaped our busy lives so we could relax, celebrate his birthday and a long overdue 30th anniversary. It may have been way too short of a vacation but we did exactly what we came to do. We have already passed on the link to several friends so they can do the same. Make sure you read all about the property before you rent especially if it is in the winter time. You will definitely need 4wheel drive to get up to the cabin. We had unseasonably warm weather so we were lucky. Thank you to the owners for sharing such a cozy cabin and location .

Away from the craziness of UVA move in. Perfect place to stay while moving in our student. Far enough away that he felt left alone, but close enough to go and get him for dinner. Quiet oasis in the woods. Perfect for the soul

Lovely cabin getaway
Great place for a couple looking to unwind, mountain view is gorgeous. Very peaceful & quiet, I used a bird call app that identified over 20 different birds while sitting on the back porch. Sarah and her hubbie helped out with water on our last day after a storm caused the power to go out.

Perfect winter getaway
The cabin was so cozy and stocked with everything my husband and I needed - we spent a lot of time relaxing on the back deck and enjoying the view with the propane fire burning. We loved the absolute quiet and solitude and took advantage of the hiking trails on the property each morning. The hike down to the river (which is beautiful!) is quite steep and a good workout! The cabin is also an easy 20-30 minute drive to several wineries and breweries... just choose a direction ahead of time and plan accordingly so you're not driving all over the county. :) Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your property - we look forward to coming back!
