I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
We all deserve some time away, whether to an upscale hotel with a spa, a yurt at a glampground, or even a rustic log cabin. In the small city of Virginia located in rural Cass County, you can stay overnight at a rustic, yet luxurious, log cabin overlooking beautiful Virginia Lake.
An authentic log cabin built in the 1800s sits atop a bluff on 80 acres overlooking the scenic Virginia Lake. The location provides quite a serene environment to get away from it all.
With numerous amenities, this log cabin is far from the rustic abode you would expect. A comfortable bed with luxurious linens awaits your slumber and the fireplace can be used on those long, cold nights.
You can hike or bike on the property and surrounding area. You also have full use of the fishing dock and can go swimming, boating, or kayaking in the lake. It's a wonderful place to get out in nature and enjoy the fresh air!
There are several hives on site, so those with bee allergies may want to rethink staying here or you can bring your medication if you feel comfortable doing so. The host is very passionate about bees and if you're interested, you can also book a Beekeeping Experience which will make your stay all the more interesting!
This 1800s log cabin is a wonderful choice for a relaxing getaway. Would you like to spend some time here? If so, book your stay on its Airbnb listing.
