Black Dog - Grassy Creek

Lovely cabin, exceded our expectations! Far enough away from the town but not too far that we couldn't travel for food if not in the mood to cook.

Great place to in the middle of the mountains. You are by yourself, but 20- to 25 minutes to nearest stores. Great to move around hiking areas, fishing, and canoeing. Recommended.

We loved staying in the private location of Black Dog. We were close enough to groceries and restaurants, but far enough away to enjoy being surrounded by nature. We traveled about 20 minutes north into Virginia to Grayson Highlands State Park where we hiked to see the wild ponies that live there. We explored and went to dinner in West Jefferson, a very cute town. I enjoyed cooking and sitting by the fire in the evening. This was a great rental and I could see us visiting it again in the future!��

The pictures do not do it justice. It was just big enough for us and our pups but small enough for it to be cozy and romantic. We wish we had another day to just stay in and enjoy the cabin. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck as the dogs explored near by. The house had everything you would think you might need should you want to cook, start a fire, or blow dry your hair. The property seemed to be new or just very well kept. Loved the layout and the decor, I could definitely live here. I loved the large window at the front of the property, we watched deer coming through in the mornings and go over the ridge. They are so much bigger than I imagined. We went into West Jefferson for groceries and breakfast. Cute little town, make sure to check out The Vintage Farmhouse which is across the street from a great local breakfast spot, Sweet Louise's Cafe. If you're up for some good food and fun convo head over to Piney Creek and check out Red Dog Bistro(about 25) min away. The road up to the property can be slippery so make sure you have 4WD. Other than that get ready to enjoy your stay!

The cabin is definitely on the road less traveled but such a serene and lovely place. Don’t be nervous about the off the path road it’s easy to navigate even in the snow. We enjoyed all the comforts of modern day life and the gorgeous quiet of this little retreat! Would highly recommend. Our kiddos enjoyed the snow fall and built some fun sled runs amongst the gorgeous trees. The small town of West Jefferson is close by and worth the trip. Overall we would highly recommend this property.

We had the pleasure of staying at Black Dog recently . The space is peaceful and accommodating. It is private with natural views. We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home and the calming aesthetic!!

We stayed at the Black Dog the weekend before Thanksgiving in order to go a Choose & Cut to pick out our tree. We loved the peaceful, solitude of the Black Dog Cabin. Our other favorite perks were the wood-burning fireplace, the remodeled bathrooms and kitchen and the privateness of the place. This was a perfect to stay if you have any anglers interested in fishing. Helton Creek was popping with fly fishermen and a great place to explore. Would stay here again!

We were seeking peace and togetherness with nature , away from the city noise and we found it in this cabin.

Imagine driving up to a private and well appointed home in a naturally wooded environment. Then enter a very simple yet elegant home, a cozy fireplace, amazing beds and a wonderful bathroom. You will not
want to leave either. Add in the warmth and attentiveness of the owner and well as I said don’t make us leave. I am not finished yet though! This home is next to Greyson Park(outstanding) cute West Jefferson and booming Boone. Do not miss the opportunity to spend time in a wonderful home in a very natural place.
