There are many nice cabins to choose from in the Blue Ridge area -- it's hard to go wrong! What we set out to build at Waymaker was something a little different — a place that actually feels like a retreat the moment you walk in, not just a bed to sleep in between activities. Here's a look at what makes a stay here feel genuinely cozy.
Four Fireplaces, Whichever Mood You're In
Cozy at Waymaker isn't just one fireplace in one room — there are four ways to find a warm corner here. Two indoor gas fireplaces make it easy to settle into the living room on a cool evening without any effort, a fireplace built right into the deck extends that same feeling outdoors, and the fire pit gives you a classic, crackling gathering spot under the stars. Whatever the weather's doing, there's a fire going somewhere close by.
A Living Room Built for Sinking In
Tall windows framing the mountains, a couch that's earned its "Cozy Living Room" name, and quality linens throughout the cabin that make the beds genuinely inviting rather than just functional. It's the kind of space where an afternoon nap sneaks up on you before you've decided to take one.
The Jetted Hot Tub, After Dark
The hot tub is where a lot of evenings here end up, especially once the sun's down. With minimal light pollution this far into the mountains, a soak often comes with a genuinely impressive view of the stars — no city glow washing anything out. It's consistently one of the most talked-about features among past guests.
A Soaking Tub for Slower Mornings
Upstairs, a deep soaking tub offers a quieter kind of comfort — less about the group, more about a long, unhurried soak on your own schedule. Paired with the rocking chairs and hammock-style swing on the porch, the cabin gives you plenty of ways to slow down solo, not just as a group.
Swings, Rockers, and Porch Mornings
Between the rocking chairs on the front porch and a bed swing out on the deck, and a hammock swing by the hot tub there's no shortage of places to sit still and let the morning happen around you — coffee in hand, mountains doing the rest of the work.
Room to Actually Spread Out
At roughly 2,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, there's enough space for a full group to settle in without anyone feeling like they're stepping over each other. The lower-level game room — with pool, ping pong, and arcade games — gives the livelier moments somewhere to happen, while the quieter corners upstairs stay just that: quiet.
Built for Slowing Down
None of this is about packing more into your trip. It's about giving you fewer reasons to leave the cabin than you'd expect. A stay here tends to look less like a checklist of activities and more like mornings on the porch swing, afternoons on the trails nearby, and evenings by one of the fireplaces that don't need much of an agenda at all.
