The Writer's Retreat on Heartstone Country Retreat farm is an authentic one bedroom rustic, modernized log cabin dating from the early 1900s & sits on 250 acres of Shenandoah farmland. It is fully outfitted with quality bedding, bath towels, spa robes, family style toiletries, coffee, teas & a welcome gift from us - a bottle of wine.

Particulars: * baseboard heating... the units in the kitchen control the living room & kitchen. If you are not familiar with baseboards & how to set them, please let us know. * In order to save the small counter space we have added wire racks under the sink for pots & pans, placemats * in the same vein, we have the traditional drip style coffee pot & toaster in the back laundry room * there are no closets in this cabin though you will find hooks, hangers & robes just outside the bathroom * the coffee table is a signed art piece. Please use a coaster when putting anything on it. ENJOY!!

DeHart Cabin
We enjoyed the uniqueness of the Cabin. It was charming and old. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. My partner enjoyed the heater in the bathroom. :-) We loved that it was out in the country. We took advantage of the area; hiked the Chessie Trail and visited Lexington numerous times. Thank you.

Excellent Wi-Fi if you place hotspot in kitchen window
We were very happy with our stay at the cozy cabin. One thing I would recommend is NOT requiring visitors to report to a location in the town to pick up keys and stay instructions. I think this could be simplified and not have guests frustrated before even making it to the property. Another cabiner said the same about improving the check-in process. Otherwise - peace and tranquility awaits.

Horse trainer’s getaway
This little cabin in the woods was exactly what I needed to get away from the stress of work and have some privacy between events at the horse center this week. It was only about 9 minutes from the complex. It was peaceful, and the host was extremely accommodating with a great sense of humor.

What a SPECTACULAR setting!
We truly enjoyed the property -- we walked to the labyrinth/hilltop each evening for sunset and also enjoyed the nearby Chessie Trail. Lexington is such a wonderful and relaxing place to be. Communication with hosts was great, and we appreciated the bottle of wine for us when we arrived. Thank you!!

Post Holiday Get Away
We had a lovely stay at the “Writer’s Cabin!” It is small but so cozy and perfect for two. We had rain at first but when the skies cleared we went for a walk and explored the Chessie Trail. A lovely walk along the river. Hosts are very gracious. Easy check in and check out.

Perfect respite spot
My husband and I were attending a festival nearby and planned our stay several months in advance. We were attracted by the authenticity of the cabin and its peaceful location. Retreat is the perfect description! As life would have it, there were some bumps in our lives that shook us deeply. The cabin was the perfect place for a reset. Quite, calming, beautiful inside and out. The walk to Mt. Grace was a perfect way to put some things in perspective. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Tranquil and thoughtfully appointed. . .
We enjoyed our stay at the Writer's Retreat cabin for Thanksgiving 2018. The area is beautiful, the property is well maintained and the owner and manager are both kind and considerate. The cabin stayed warm, even in sub-freezing temperatures, and we loved the visiting birds every morning. Thank you Antonia and Lesley for our wonderful stay!
