Description
There’s no place like home, except here!
Welcome to the Hillside Hideaway. We are located just two miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway onto Route 58 in the quaint little town of Meadows of Dan, Virginia. Fish, hike, picnic and more, all from our cabin. We are less than 5 miles away from Chateau Morrisette, several other wineries, two golf courses, Mabry Mill and Lovers Leap…there is always plenty to do. The nearby restaurants such as Longfin Grill, Jane’s Cafe and the Poor Farmers Market are very good. Our family loves eating ice cream on the Poor Farmer’s Market porch!
When you walk in the door, expect a little surprise. This 1920’s rustic cabin isn’t just comfortable, clean and cozy with all the amenities of home, it’s classic! From the furniture to the linens, you’ll find everything fresh! Less than a minute from the Blue Ridge Parkway, our cabin is perfect for your stay in the mountains. Some of our favorite characteristics of the cabin are the creaky wood floors, original lead glass windows, large stone fireplace and wrap around porch with a picture perfect view of the historic Cockram Mill pond, where the Dan River Queen once circled. The floors and wood walls are original to our newly furnished home with new, fluffy towels and 100% cotton linens. The cabin has new appliances and dishes with a vintage feel and the kitchen is fully stocked with service for eight. The dining room table seats six to eight comfortably. You’ll find fresh milk, OJ and assorted cereal ready for you when you arrive. And, as with all our Buffalo Mountain Getaway properties, our signature Keurig Brew Station will be stocked with coffee, cocoa and tea.
Although we prefer relaxing on the porch, hiking the walking trails or fishing in the pond, the high speed internet does allow for easy working/remote learning. 42” smart tv in living room armoire. Landline also present if needed.
The deck covers three sides of the house with only one step up access to the main level. Since we are pet friendly, we also have a small fenced area for them to utilize.
Head upstairs to find the sleeping quarters. You’ll pass through the small bunk room with two bunks to reach the master bedroom. The romantic master bedroom includes a queen size bed, cellphone charger, small television with Netflix and Prime Video and a great view. The bathroom is on the main level with a tub/shower and laundry for your convenience.
Please note: due to its age, the home is not wheelchair accessible. The stairs are narrow. My 6’2” husband needs to duck at the top. At 5’2”, I don’t. 🙂
Our pond is fully exposed, so smaller children may not be safe. Please keep this in mind. Feel free to catch and release all the fish you want, just remember to bring your own poles.

Pat’s place was the perfect weekend getaway. The cabin was beautiful and relaxing. And the porch was a great place to sit and relax while listening to the frogs.

Adorable cabin Pat was very responsive even thru my scheduling and directional fiasco. All of which was my fault. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We hope to stay again. Thank you!!!

The pictures did not do this place justice—the pond is much larger than we expected and the house is so inviting with great views! We spent so much time here relaxing on the deck or fishing at the pond. We would definitely come back! The only thing I would recommend is having a car that’s not too low to the ground—the road directly up to the cabin is a bit rough 🙂

Pat was great at answering quickly. The place was gorgeous and decorated so cute. Definitely stay here if you’re considering going to meadows of Dan!

My friends and I loved this cabin on our girls getaway. Very clean and so many nice touches throughout the house. The porch overlooking the lake was a favorite!! Very cozy!!

Loved the cabin, very rustic and peaceful, we came on a day it rained and the sound of it on the tin roof was very peaceful! The scrabble board was so much fun and we were able to turn off the world and relax. The kitchen was well furnished for our needs! Also, the loft stairs are steep for the second story so be careful!
My only request is a cutting board, lol, otherwise perfect escape from the busy everyday! HOST NOTE: a plastic cutting board is available for guest use.

Beautiful cabin with the lake view just as depicted. Kitchen is ready for any type of cooking, and everything was really cozy. Spectacular in the fall with all the leaves changing color. Had to hunt for a bit for the WiFi code- it’s the wall by the antique phone- this stressed me out a bit as there is no cellular connection whatsoever. Also, they are pet friendly but ask about the added pet cleaning fee. HOST NOTE: We do not charge a pet fee, but we ask that you clean up after your pet. A vacuum is available to clean up excess hair prior to housekeeping arrival. If we have excess cleaning, due to pet hair, we will charge you an additional cleaning fee.
