About the Cabin
Rustic Luxury,
Authentically Restored
Dove Cabin is a lovingly restored antique log cabin dating to circa 1810 — just 20 miles from Charlottesville and Virginia's celebrated wine country. Originally relocated and meticulously brought back to life, it blends two centuries of history with every modern comfort.
Set on 110 acres of rolling pastures, pristine ponds, and marked walking trails, the property is alive with wildlife — deer, turkey, foxes, eagles, osprey, and great blue herons are everyday visitors. Inside, hand-hewn log walls frame a stone fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, premium beds and linens, and a private sauna.
The second floor features a master bedroom with king-sized bed and a living room with stone fireplace. Relax on the porch overlooking the fish pond, or retreat to the upper floor for peace and quiet. A true five-star escape into nature.
