Mill Meadows Cabin - Scenic Vistas, Historic Architecture and lots more.

Your new favorite getaway is a traditional log cabin, set in a private cabin resort complex, that is conveniently located off Highway 58 in the Meadows of Dan and one mile from Blue Ridge Parkway. It is placed in an idyllic setting at 3,000' elevation on a southern-facing slope overlooking lush wildflower meadows in the Dan River basin and historic Cochram Mill off in the distance. This fully furnished 1,220 sq. ft. cabin has two bedrooms, a spacious bath with seated shower, and an open great room under a high vaulted ceiling. A stone hearth with a gas log fireplace sets the scene for cozy romantic evenings, intimate family gatherings and quiet contemplation. This lovely retreat can sleep up to six people, with a king-size bed in the master bedroom and a queen-size bed and full-size futon in the upper loft bedroom. All linens and bedding are provided. Although authentically rustic in structure, this cabin offers full contemporary comforts: central heat/air, washer/dryer, dishwasher, electric stove, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, WiFi, and two flat-screen televisions (in great room and loft bedroom) equipped with cable vision and DVD players. The well-appointed kitchen comes stocked with coffee supplies and an assortment of condiments. Paper products for kitchen and bath, along with dish, hand and bath soap, are also provided. Land line telephone service is available for local and 800 number calls. Enjoy mountain views and fresh breezes on the full-length covered porch equipped with Amish bentwood rockers and a porch swing. This is the spot where you can cook delicious meals on a gas grill (propane provided). A short walk down the hill takes you into colorful, wildflower and butterfly-filled meadows along the Dan River, a small fishing pond (bass and catfish) and the historic Cochram Mill Complex (open seasonally). There are tons of nearby parks and sites of interest to explore, many accessible via the Blue Ridge Parkway, that offer sightseeing, hiking, trail walking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, golf, and much more. Among these are historic Mabry Mill, Fairy Stone State Park, Rocky-Knob Recreation Area, Buffalo Mountain Natural Area Preserve, and Lover's Leap Overlook. A short drive away, the quaint mountain towns of Meadows of Dan, Stuart, Floyd, and Mt. Airy are prime destinations for groceries, local farm produce, family-owned restaurants, antiques, and unique collectibles. Nearby Primland Resort (with a spectacular golf course), Chateau Morrisette Winery and Villa Appalachia Winery offer a range of fine dining options and a sumptuous array of locally-produced wines. A two-night minimum stay is preferred and discounts for seven-day stays and over are available. Special rates for holidays and local festival periods, such as FloydFest, will apply.
