Buy a shack somewhere... Why rent a vacation spot stained by the hundreds of folks before you?

Set in untouched meadows and woodlands near historic Sleepy Creek, this magical place offers peace and satisfaction to all who venture near. An antique-filed 18th Century log cabin located just 5 miles from the historic Town of Bath, the Cottage has three bedrooms overlooking a private pond. The country kitchen, woodburning stove, and claw-foot tub complete the fantasy."

"From the romantic pine hacienda bed heaped high with down comforters and soft pillows to the old fashioned front porch, the delights of country living surround you. Hike, cross-country ski, fish, birdwatch, and see many species of wildlife, all without leaving our country lane.

"When you've tired of simple country joys, go to tow for historic baths and massage treatments, unique shops and galleries, fine dining and antiques. The Cottage is 15 minutes from two premier golf courses and 45 minutes from excellent downhill skiing."

The Gamekeeper's Cottage is stocked with breakfast makings, gourmet coffees and teas.

I never noticed that there wasn't A/C.

It was in August and we had to turn on the heat at night.

Being the creature I am, if I got hot I would have gone out and bought a window unit.

Call and ask if they have ceiling fans (i can't remember :oldtimers:<---need a smilie for this)

There are tons of hummingbirds there. I had a bucket of KFC on my lap and I had several buzz me (one even stayed right in front of me for several seconds and I probably could have held it...it was beautiful) because the lid was red.

If you like the hummers take a feeder or something red.

Most of the cabins are also pet friendly. Be prepared for dogs. Our dog had a great time and had numerous visitors throughout our stay.

Now I want to go back.

I'm going to visit my Grandma next week. My mouth's watering just thinking about Sirianni's.

My ideal place is secluded, where we can fish, cook what we catch, never leave, drink plenty of beer and not be bothered. Also, a hot tub is a MUST!!! So, any recommendations?
smoke hole W.V is pretty nice , Corbin Cabin is nice also but a bit of a hike goin in {not modern}
