The space Rose River Cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains This is an 1870's cabin. It's set on a "bench" over the Rose River (stream here) and just off the forest road that goes up to the Blue Ridge - that was the old 1860s Blue Ridge Turnpike. The logs and chinking are your walls. They are burnished, reflecting in the firelight. The cabin is not too big- a living room with wood fireplace and a king bed in the corner, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, porch over the river and front porch looking up the mountains. Up a not too steep flight of stairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two queens. They share a half bath between them. Fishing folk have their joys cut out for them here, for sure with the stream below. Pets welcome for a fee of $35 per dog per stay and due at check in. Maximum of two dogs please.
