Simple cabin not far from George Washington Nation Forest
This cabin was just what I was looking for. The antique refrigerator and stove worked perfectly for food storage and for cooking our own meals. I was traveling with my dog and was happy to find a place that was pet friendly. I loved the simplicity of the Payne Cabin. The cabin and property was very clean and easy to find. Be sure to read the full description as there is no indoor plumbing, but the host has set up a very nice electric pump sink, an outdoor shower house, and a clean outhouse.I will definitely stay here again if I find myself in the area.
