A personal writing retreat, sanctuary and solitude needed.
The Cabin on Cedar Creek is an exceptional place. I wanted a place where I could enjoy solitude and focus on my writing and this was it in every way: comfortable furniture, nice dining room table for writing, and lots of large windows looking out on the woods. The cabin is equipped with everything that could be needed for a weeklong stay. The temperature was mostly in the 50s during the day and the 40s at night. A couple of nights it went down into the 30s. The cabin has an electric heater for the downstairs (great room) and one for the loft where the beds are located. They worked perfectly and kept the cabin comfortable. Upstairs and downstairs ceiling fans worked great to distribute the heat when needed. There is a wood-burning stove with some firewood available. This was a nice touch on the coldest evenings. The rear deck overlooks the forest and Cedar Creek. The creek has a small set of rapids near the cabin which create a lovely sound to go with coffee while watching the sunrise. A picnic table and plenty of chairs are waiting on the deck for you to sit and just breathe. The cabin is about a mile up a gravel road, from the main road, so no traffic and a deep quiet most of the time. There are other homes along the gravel road but not immediately near the cabin. Loads of privacy to recharge or create. If you need supplies, Strasburg and Stephens City are only about 15 minutes away. Rich and Mary are wonderful people and perfect hosts. I plan to return.
