Weekend Getaway

My husband and I came down from Richmond,VA for the weekend to do some rockhounding and hiking. It's a beautiful, quiet area perfect for couples and small families. The cabin has everything you need. Wonderful, private location. We're definitely coming back again!

We couldn’t 'bear' to leave

We had a lovely time at this unbearably cute, animal-themed cabin, enjoying the view from the dining table, the coziness of the living room and the easy walk down a private path to the river below. The laundry machine and dryer were a great bonus.

Mountain Cabin

The check in was easy, and everything was as described. The location was perfect exactly what would be expected of a mountain cabin. The cabin was cozy, and perfect for my daughter and I. When we stayed it was col and used the fireplace indoors. The property appears to have plenty of amenities that could be enjoyed in any season, outdoor fire ring, deck,grill, and river access. We plan to come back an and stay and enjoy other seasons here.

Fall Getaway

We've spent a long, lazy weekend at Bear Paw almost every fall for the past 10 years or so. The cabin is quite rustic, but oh-so cozy and charming. We love sitting by the fireplace, dining in the little enclosed porch area- quite literally in the woods- and being lulled by the sound of the river out back. The surrounding area is beautiful for hiking and enjoying the beauty of God's creation. This little place is truly magical. Thank you, Taylors, for sharing it with us!

Great little cabin

The cabin was perfect for our annual trout fishing weekend. The only thing I can possibly note as a downside was the ceiling height and small bunks upstairs as I am very tall; Would be perfect for kids.

Very rustic cozy cabin in a beautiful location near a river. The kids enjoyed playing and fishing in the nearby river. The fireplace was great to relax by and the dining area had great views of the forest. Would stay again.

Secluded with a view

It's a beautiful location with a nice view and a river next door. I booked this stay for my father and he enjoyed the peace and quiet. Be warned there really is no service out there: though it may be what you're looking for. Unfortunately the landline was down when he was there and the Internet cut out on the second day, but the host was nice enough to provide another stay. Overall a nice trip but make sure to come with a buddy if you could have health issues.

Beautiful and Relaxing Stay

Any time of year is wonderful for a visit to Virginia's mountains but we feel fall is the best. Cool temperatures and gorgeous terrain, and the smell of the earth putting itself to sleep for the winter, treats the senses. I would recommend North Folk Cabins Rentals and the host (Kenneth and Margaret) for anyone wanting to relax with nature.

Another great stay at Bear Paw

We absolutely love coming back year after year to Bear Paw. This well appointee rustic cabin is in the perfect location. We love being able to walk down to the bottom of the property where we are able to sit on the side of the river. Clean. Nicely furnished. We look forward to returning.
