Lakefront Cabin - Farm Animals - Fish, Swim, Boat, Hike/Bike 5+Miles Trails

Surrounded by nature and gorgeous views! The Log Cabin sits Lakefront on an 8 acre private LAKE w/ ISLAND on 142 Wooded Acres with 5+ miles of hiking/biking trails. Our small farm has Goats, Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits and sheep for you to visit and feed! Only us (next door) and our Tugboat and Airstream listings (opposite side of Lake) have access to the lake and property. The cabin has been newly remodeled with a rustic, shabby chic appeal. Many hand made items using salvaged materiel including the barn table, bathroom vanity, and beautiful chandelier created with a salvaged metal roof of an old fallen home on the property.

The space

*Please Read Entire Listing*
The small private Lake is breathtaking, great for swimming, fishing, and boating. Enjoy a fire pit on the Mossy Island, accessible by bridge or boat. Explore miles of wooded trails and several natural streams with sandy beaches. 1/2 mile paved driveway boarders horse and cattle farm and is great for bikes, skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, etc.

The Covered boat dock is all yours along with use of the kayak, stand up paddle board, rowboat, and paddleboat for adventures on the Lake! To the right of the boat house is a nice beach area where kids can play and gradually get their toes wet! Your personal fire pit with comfy Adirondack chairs sits between the cabins deck and the boat dock. Being so secluded has its benefits with no light pollution for a memorable stargazing experience.

Fishing on the stocked Lake is like nowhere else! 7lb+ Bass are not uncommon and Crappie are easy catching for the kiddos, you will be telling fish tales for years! We would like everyone to catch and release, but if you would like to enjoy a few for dinner please let us know!

Wifi is available and usually fast enough to stream Netflix on the Family Room TV using the Roku. Although our internet is quite good for the Country, we cannot guarantee consistent access or speeds. We also provide a DVD/BluRay player and try to keep movies available for your use.

The main level bedroom has a memory foam/gel top queen bed with views of the forest. The Loft bedroom, which is open to the living area, has a luxurious king plush mattress, 2 hammock chairs, and the best views of the lake! PLEASE NOTE, the loft is only accessible by library ladder, there is a gate that can be installed at the top. If it’s a full house there is
a queen pull out memory foam mattress in the family room with a flat screen TV and 2 reclining chairs. The cabin is fully outfitted with linens and towels for showers, please bring your own Lake/beach towels.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed should you choose to cook at home or, take a short 10-minute drive to town with many excellent restaurants. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, common spices, olive oil, cooking spray, and condiments (ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise) that you might need. There is plenty of room for a feast at the farm style dining table, which seats 6 comfortably.

The cabin has a trex deck facing the lake, a fantastic place to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. There is a new gate that can close off the deck for pets and children. There is plenty of seating on the deck with a table for dining and a Gas Grill. You may even treat yourself to a seasonal outdoor shower, serenaded by sweet songbirds. Speaking of birds it is a birdwatchers paradise! Please turn off outdoor flood lights unless using them, as to not attract large amounts of bugs into the cabin.Thanks:)

You will most likely meet our golden-doodle Mabel. She is extremely friendly but please do let us know if she's a bother. She enjoys meeting new guests and their furry companions and is wonderful with kids!

FAQ:
Are fishing poles provided? Yes, we try keep at least 1 fishing pole at the boat dock in case you forget your own! We are also happy to share our personal tackle box and extra poles, just ask.

Bait: We find it best to use worms or artificial lures like rubber worms.

Fish: We have Bass, Crappie, and Sunfish at Lake Glen Haven.

Guest access
The Cabin, boat dock, fire pit, and yard around the cabin is all yours. Shared use of the entire 142 Acres, Trails, Private Lake, and Island. Although there is the privacy fence, please feel free to walk behind our home and travel the path to get the island. Our home sits about 200 ft away should you need anything, but guests privacy is our top priority!

Wife and I brought our labradoodle and infant son seeking some fresh air and relaxing fun, and the cabin at Lake Glen provided just that. Check in/out was simple, the place was tidy and well stocked with necessities, and we felt right at home. I’d certainty come back and maybe check out staying in the silo or riverboat. Thanks again!

Quick getaway
We decided to look for a place after dropping off our son at NC State. What a wonderful couple of days!! Our teenage boys (aged 14 and 17) loved taking out the row boat and paddle board to fish. They caught something every time they put in their poles. Water was warm and cabin was cozy. Boys will definitely want to return!!

Amazing on all accounts
The cabin was clean, and decorated with just the right flare. The view of the lake and the backyard lights made for amazing evenings by the fire. The trails and lake toys were a perfect addition. The hosts were eager to be of assistance but never intrusive. We loved the cabin and the family. Definitely a great place to unwind.

Beautiful, fun and memorable!
This is a wonderful rental that’s a short drive off the highway but feels miles away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin is lovely - just the right amount of space for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The kids loved the loft with swings and a gorgeous lake view. No need to plan other activities as there is so much to explore here - the island, the trails, the lake, the animals, and most of all the family that owns this property! They are delightful hosts - happy to answer questions and share their eggs that were laid the same day, a real treat! We enjoyed the serenity of the farm while walking the trails letting our dogs & kids run and explore to their hearts content. Their friends from a neighboring farm brought lovely horses over and took us on a trail ride - I highly recommend booking this experience! Local restaurants in Gordonsville are a quick drive. We tried Champion Ice House - highly recommend for their fried chicken!

Best vacation!
Our stay was amazing from start to finish! Ashleigh let us check in early which was so nice. We arrived and met sweet Mabel. She was the sweetest pup and loved to walk around with us. She even went on a run with my husband. The cabin is so nice and cozy. I only wish it had curtains that weren't see through. I know there is no one around but just for peace of mind! The cabin was perfect on the water. We were able to use the row boat to catch some small bass and huge bluegill!! We were so happy with the chance to stay here! And we will come back (:

Wonderful cabin on the lake
The cabin was clean, charming, and had everything you could want or need. The animals were all very cute--we especially loved feeding the ducks! There are many trails to walk and the scenery is beautiful. The dock area has lots to do--row boat, pedal boat, kayaks etc. Ashleigh was a great host and highly communicative. She responded to every text right away and made us feel comfortable upon our arrival. A great spot to have some fun with family!

Disappointed
The reason we decided to stay at this property is to interact with the farm animals. We never met the animals or the owners. Later we found the owners were not on site. Their dogs continued to come on the property of the rental to BARK at us whenever we were outside as if we were intruders. Needless to say this was annoying and not even relaxing. The home is an open floor layout and not much privacy. The rental faces the owners home like a rock distance throw. I had to vacuum and sweep all of the leftover dog hair before sitting on the couch. The lake was dirty and couldn’t imagine swimming in this water. No communication from the host. We DID NOT receive hospitality that I read in other reviews. There was No WIFi service.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend getaway at Lake Glen Haven! The cabin had everything we needed, very clean, and decorated so cool! Our teenagers loved visiting the animals nearby, kayaking on the lake, hiking the trails, and relaxing in the cool loft of the cabin. Our family needed a place to disconnect from busy schedules and reconnect as a family, and this was the perfect spot to do so!

We had the most amazing weekend at Lake Glen Haven! Ashleigh and Mike have truly thought of everything guests could want in a property, and we felt so well looked after. The cabin was as adorable as we imagined, and we loved waking up each morning to a view of the lake! Even though the weather was starting to cool off, there was still so much to do on the property from the hiking trails, fire pits, beautiful seating areas and visiting farm animals! We can’t wait to come back during different seasons and enjoy all of the different amenities it has to offer. Thank you again for such a great stay, and we can’t wait to return!

This was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect place to escape from busy daily routine and decompress. The cabin was smaller then I imagined but cozy and comfortable. The property is beautiful, peaceful and huge. We spent the whole time on the property hiking, boating, fishing by day and sitting around the fire pit at nights. Ashleigh and Mike are genuinely happy, friendly people who made us feel very comfortable. I hope to return for another stay.

A new family favorite
The five of us all felt at home as soon as we arrived for our stay in the cabin. After my first visit to the dock I was ready to book our next visit. We could be as active or as lazy as we wanted. So much to do and yet so many areas perfect for doing nothing. The place is obviously well-cared for and one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed. Our hosts, Ashleigh and Mike, were very welcoming and felt like life-long neighbors. The two 16-year olds with us loved the interaction with the animals. Now I’ll insist on fresh eggs for every vacation breakfast. We will return!
