SARAH’S MOUNTAIN RETREAT CABIN
MONTEBELLO, VIRGINIA 24464
Sarah's Mountain Retreat
Cabin is one of the most unique places you will ever have the opportunity to visit. Sarah’s cabin is nestled on a hilltop
leading to one of the highest mountains in Central
Virginia. Every hiker traveling the
Appalachian Trail visits Spy Mountain Rock, which sits on top of Spy
Mountain. Sarah’s cabin will
combine the true meaning of mountain living with the modern convenience of
today. Sit on the deck and observe
the majestic beauty of the valley area called Montebello. Listen to the rushing water in the
valley as it flows through a state fish hatchery that was originally owned and
operated by Sarah’s family. While
sitting on the deck, you can observe Virginia’s wildlife, including white-tailed
deer, rabbits, and turkeys feeding in the fields.
If you are longing for a
mountain vacation, Sarah’s cabin is the right location for you. Kick back on the cabin decks and enjoy
the solitude and privacy.
When rested, take a walk to the country store like Sarah’s family once
did and meet local residents.
Don’t forget to drive down the mountain a bit and try your skills at
hiking up Crab Tree Falls. The
hiking trail at Crab Tree Falls is parallel to the waterfalls. Crab tree, as locals refer to it, is
located on the headwaters of the Tye River. Crab tree falls is owned/operated by the
National Forest Service. As
the water cascades down the mountain, it earns the distinction of being the
highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. If you don’t feel like a climb, take
your fishing pole and try your luck at native trout fishing. You can always move down stream and fish
some of the best trout stocked waters in Virginia.
Now that you have had the
opportunity to hike on the Appalachian Trail to Spy Rock and climb Crab Tree
Falls, visit the Blue Ridge Parkway.
After traveling west three miles, you can go in either direction on the
Blue Ridge Parkway. Traveling north
visits Wintergreen Ski Resort where you can play golf during the off
season. Humpback Rock over looking
the beautiful Shenandoah Valley is just a short distance past Wintergreen Ski
Resort. If you go south on the Blue
Ridge Parkway, the panoramic views will equal a northern trip. If you’re not interested in a parkway
trip, then go off the mountain and visit Natural Bridge, one of the seven
natural wonders of the world.
Another natural wonder, Natural Chimneys, is within driving distance of
Natural Bridge. Don’t forget
to visit Lexington and rediscover Virginia history. Drive to Staunton and visit the American
Frontier Culture Museum or visit the birthplace of the Nation’s twenty-eighth
president, Woodrow Wilson.
