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 ❤️

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Peaceful, remote weekend getaway
If you’re looking for a completely remote location just to get away from the hubbub of everyday life, then this is the place! So peaceful and relaxing with all of the comforts of home. The attention to detail was amazing, everything just like new and really, all you need to bring is some basic food items. Not a whole lot to do around the area but bring your walking shoes for a hike in the woods or around the pond or some bikes to ride around on. We really enjoyed our stay there and the host is absolutely endearing! We did venture out and explored the area. Tons of vineyards and a few distilleries with Charlottesville only 30 some miles north. Check it out, you’ll love it!

Quite Nice
The area it resides within is lovely and being able to see the mist lift from the lake every morning while drinking a cup of coffee with the family just gives a different ambiance. I have lived in AC essentially my whole life and this experience made me open my eyes that there is actual beauty in this world. All I would see in the morning is the usual crackhead in AC. The owners were extremely friendly as well and very accommodating. Finally with a local town about 25mins away if you need supply's for cooking or need internet you can just pop by the library where even the staff is just as nice. Stop by Baine's pretty good coffee and bagels.
