Quaint cabin
Beautiful location- we went to the town of scottsville to eat at Tavern on the James, and Bateau. Enjoyed the lively Tavern on Friday night and - the food. Also traveled to both Trump winery and Blenheim. Beautiful scenery- quiet. Lovely time.

Great place
We arrived to a cute cabin with a wonderful lake. We found a complementary basket with snacks and other stuff. The cabin was clean, nice view of lake. My mom and brother and nephew was delighted to go fishing right outside the door. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of room and amenities. We loved it. If we are ever in this area again we will definitely love to rent this place again. OK

Beautiful Property
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay , took several beautiful hikes around the property and caught(released) several fish . Hosts are onsite but are super friendly and leave guests to enjoy their stay . Owners have also installed privacy screens / shrubbery to add further privacy . Can’t wait to book our next trip !

Quiet Cabin
This property is great if you are looking for a quiet weekend away within driving distance to the mountains. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners live on the property nearby and were very welcoming. Be prepared for minimal cell service (Verizon was on SOS mode, T-mobile had 1-2 bars). Scottsville is a 15 minute drive away and had a food lion and several places to visit. Had a wonderful time, thank you!

Great escape!
Serene, quiet, and quaint. Not the place to go if you want cell service. The hosts home is close, but we didnt see them other than passing in the driveway. Cozy cabin feel, sweet kitty out in the gardens, if you want to escape the world of technology, its a fantastic stay.

This was a very cute little place. The beds were very comfortable! My friends and I had a lovely and quiet girls’ weekend.
The cabin was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and we were even able to bake a birthday cake in the air fryer. The water is just beautiful and we enjoyed a night by the fire. I do wish we’d known ahead of time just how close the host’s home was to our place. I think a little fence between the houses would help guests feel like they had more privacy. That being said, we were left alone and really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic getaway
This property is as remote and lovely as the pictures show it. The nearest town is a quick 15 minutes away (Scottsville) and has great restaurants, an adorable bakery, and a wonderful book/coffee shop. Thirty minutes further you are in the downtown of Charlottesville and have a variety of options to entertain yourself. I would highly recommend this property for those who are looking to be off the grid, but not too far from civilization. The owner was super responsive to any questions we had and also provided a lovely welcome basket for us. Clean, comfortable, and very relaxing!

Cute and quiet!
My husband and I stayed in this cute cabin for our 10 year anniversary. It was very cozy, super clean, and in the perfect location! The trails were nice, so bring shoes you don’t mind getting red clay on. There isn’t internet so if you want to watch movies I would suggest downloading them before you arrive. Also let family know you won’t have cell service while at the cabin. But it was honestly nice to put phones away and just enjoy the time. We very much enjoyed the visit and have talked about coming back!

Awesome isolation
Beautiful cabin lakeside with great fishing (catch and release only). Very comfortable and everything was there for you. I recommend shopping for groceries before you get there. The only drawback is that you are completely communications isolated. There’s no WiFi or phone service and no landline. Thankfully we didn’t have an emergency of any kind. The owner’s house is close by, but they weren’t home when we were there.

Bummer
Property was very clean, host was very sweet and hospitable. However… I thought this would be a quiet get a way with great fishing. Essentially this is a mother in law suite, where the host is a stone throw away. They were always out, doing things on the property. We were unable to fish on “our side” of the lake because of the marsh, it was impossible. Which was a huge bummer! The only place to fish was directly in front of their home. Which made it slightly awkward. They also had guests over which were loud, we could hear from inside our cabin. There was absolutely NO privacy. Overall, was it horrible? No. Just not what I expected, nor wanted out of a getaway vacation.

Our stay was from 8/6 to 8/9. This cabin is wonderful. it's on a small lake. If you are looking for quiet, this is the place. The cabin was spotless, and we enjoyed the way it was constructed. You would have to see it to appreciate the detail. Thanks to the owners. DJ & Dani

Wonderful lake gateaway
I traveled here with my six-year-old boy, and he loved it. The property is by a lake and we had the opportunity to go out on the water. At the end of our stay, the property owner even gave us vegetables from her garden. My son loved the stay so much that he drew pictures of the property days after our visit. It left quite an impression and we would love to book again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Simply blissful!
I cannot speak highly enough about our experience at hide away lake. We arrived and drove down a wooded road which opened up to a serene lake view and the cutest little wood cabin. We were greeted by Monster which is the most gracious feline host you could hope to meet. The cabin is immaculately cleaned and supplied with everything you could hope to need to settle into a retreat away from society. It was very hot outside when we visited but the AC in the cabin was excellent. The beds and bedding were ample and immensely comfortable. The outside surround of the cabin was beautiful with ample seating. We hired the John boat and spent a whole day out on the lake fishing where we caught several bass and perch. The hosts’ house was visible from the cabin but they were scarce most of the visit and just lovely to speak with when our paths did cross. We saw loads of deer and enjoyed our evenings with the fireflies around the lake edge and cozy fire pit. We left feeling rested and rejuvenated. Simply amazing stay ❤️

This was a wonderful little cabin on a nice piece of property. The owners live on site in the main house nearby and were very pleasant and welcoming. The cabin had everything we needed and Scottsville was nearby for any other essentials we had to have (mainly marshmallows and Graham crackers.) There was fishing available and a trail around the lake to explore. Overall, a great little place for a weekend getaway.

A quiet & quaint escape.
Our recent stay here was more than warm and welcoming. We relished every day we got to spend in this beautiful cabin, far from the city life. Our host was more than helpful and kind enough to answer every question we had. The space was very comfortable and well-managed. The beautiful fall scenery left us in awe, especially during our hike around the property. We would, easily, stay here again.

Wonderful Property
Great place for my daughter's and I. Camp fires, fishing, bunk beds. Scottville is a short drive away for a meal if you don't want to cook. Cabin is clean and has that great cabin feel with a wonderful view of the lake. We caught a few fish from the shore. Has everything you could think of and things you probably wouldn't think to bring but would need. Just well thought out property for guests. Will be back 100%. No cell service just FYI.
