Photos and Description of the Farmville vacation cabin rental
4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen and dining rooms, 2 porches sleeps 8

Wake to birds singing and morning doves calling their mates, fall asleep to the sound of the nearby creek, laugh out loud at the antics of scampering squirrels while enjoying a leisurely cup of java on the patio, curl up with a good book in the swing on the porch overlooking the lake, the porch rocker or the oversized leather chair by the fireplace, take a walk around the lake or just enjoy the peaceful and relaxing setting. Golf next door at The Manor Resort or visit one of the areas colleges, shops, state parks, or winter sports resorts. Whether you desire some quality downtime, visiting historic sites, nature sports, or fun activities, you will find it here. Cabin decor of 'rustification' exudes warmth, comfort, relaxation, and convenience. Every season at this historic cabin nature offers up a bounty from Spring's showy azaleas and dogwoods, Fall's fiery colors and cool mornings, Summer's lazy days under a tree canopy to Winter's full moons over the lake that are pure magic.

Relax or Entertain: The cabin abounds in relaxing comfort both inside and outside and is a great place to entertain. So plan a romantic candlelight dinner for two on the front porch by the creek or a barbecue for the family and friends on the back patio overlooking the gardens and woods. Outside seating for 8-16 provided. Gather around the firepit on the back patio on a cool fall evening and roast marshmallows or make s'mores while watching the full moon rise to play peek-a-boo with the trees while the crickets and frogs provide a nightly serenade. Enjoy one of the property's three major outdoor areas with seating or relax in the hammock by the creek in season. Even a rainy day is welcome and is the perfect excuse to enjoy a 'porch and swing' day listening to the raindrops drip from the cabin eaves and spatter on the tree leaves.

Golf, Resorts, and Area Attractions: This property adjoins The Manor Resort - Golf, Spa and Residential which was named in the top 4 of the best new courses in the nation in 2007 by Golf Digest and it has only gotten better. The resort accommodations are in planning/construction stage so the cabin offers the perfect place to call home after a day on this beautifully designed course. Located just beyond the tree lined back of the cabin property, The Manor clubhouse is 5 minutes from the cabin. This resort is destined to become one of Virginia's finest so be sure and check it out when you visit.

We stayed in the cabin for March 2013 so we could watch as much Hampden-Sydney baseball as possible. Our work is portable, so we packed laptops and headed to Farmville! Our daughter joined us for her spring break, and our son enjoyed having "home" just a few minutes from H-SC instead of seven hours. Wonderful comfortable furnishings in great room, ample bedrooms, linens and blankets in excellent condition and plentiful. Towels as promised--big and fluffy. Kitchen fully stocked, and I mean fully. Small appliances, dishes, utensils (including sharp knives), pots, pans, etc. I cooked for a month--pies, cookies, meatloaf, chicken, steak, eggs, bacon, smoothies--and I never reached for anything and thought "Darn, where's the _____?" We had unseasonably cold weather, but the surroundings are beautiful, quiet, soothing, whether sunny, rainy, or snowy (we had all three). We loved Farmville and did not miss city/suburban traffic.Sharon was delightful to talk with and email with as plans were made, and, to accommodate the guys' need for the MLB Channel (the ONE channel missing!), Sharon found a 3-month subscription to MLB to add to her account. She signed up, and I dropped a check in the mail, and the guys caught lots of spring training games. Clean, comfortable, homey. We moved in on March 1 and were settled in in minutes. We leave tomorrow, and we will miss this Slice of Heaven (until our next visit, of course). Internet reception was very good. Because of work, we travel with Verizon hotspots and found these helpful if signal strength dropped (which can happen anywhere). Just something to keep in mind if your visit to the cabin involves your work.

Great Cabin on the Lake!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 29, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Our family really enjoyed this lovely rustic cabin. Most important to us is that it was conveniently located to the college my son is attending. This was a wonderful cabin for us to relax in as we moved him into his dorm. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch (daughter loved the swing) and just looking out at the lake enjoying our together time. Also appreciated the variety of board games the owner has stocked. Extremely comfortable coach and overstuffed chairs in the living area. Definitely recommend for cosy family retreat with convenience to farmville area. Already planning our next stay there.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your wonderful review and I'm so glad the cabin worked well for your family and it gave you a nice relaxing place to rest and give your son a good family send off for his new venture. As the facility manager at a college in NC, I know how busy and exhausting the move-in process can be. I have many wonderful HSC families who call Cabin on the Lake home when visiting Farmville and I hope you will do the same. I already have your Oct. request and am delighted it is available for the time you want to share with your family. Welcome to the Cabin on the Lake family.

We had such a great stay at your cabin! The lake view is lovely, the rooms are cozy, but the most spectacular feature is the back area with the fire pit. We were there three nights and built a fire every night. It was the perfect place to entertain friends, grill dinner, and enjoy the camaraderie. We will definitely return for another visit!!! Thank you for a memorable weekend!!

There was a large group of friends attending a wedding in Farmville. We do not get to see each other regularly so we decided to rent a cabin and all stay together. What a great choice!! The cabin was the perfect spot for our group. We were close enough to town to attend all the wedding festivities, but we got to enjoy nature as well. The fire pit was great during the cool fall nights and the view of the lake was nice as well. I would stay here again in a heart beat!

We had a wedding in Farmville and booked this cabin. It is 5 minutes from Walmart but out a blacktop road which makes you feel like you drove for miles to get out in the woods!!! Trees completely surround and shade the house!! We only turned the air on when we were getting ready for a wedding. It stays so nice and cool and was very refreshing with the windows open!! The front porch is the greastest part about the whole house, but the whole house is great too!!! The porch was the gathering place!! Each room is decorated differently. It has 2 bathrooms and a big dining room. Very roomy for 4 bedrooms! We really enjoyed the beauty of it!!

We had a wonderful time in Farmville. I am a Longwood Alum and wanted to bring my husband to farmville. He fell in love with the house and the town. He has decided we will be staying here on an annual basis. :-) Thank you Sharon for such a memorable weekend!

Loved the closeness to HSC and the view

Submitted: May 22, 2011 Stayed: December 2010
Your comfortable, cozy cabin's location was perfect for our trips to and from our son's Hampden Sydney College (HSC) basketball tournament. So close!......

A perfect ending to our stay took place right in the greatroom where we watched the UNC football team defeat VT in their bowlgame in double overtime. This was the game of the year, so we were particularly grateful you offered all those TV channels. Lifesaver!.....

We did not use the kitchen for cooking because we were on the run, but the well stocked kitchen, grill, fire pit, though, are inviting us back in warmer times, we hope......

We loved the view of the frozen lake..something we never get to see in NC.

Lovely Thanksgiving

Submitted: December 14, 2010 Stayed: November 2010
We had a beautiful visit with two of our children and their families. The cabin provided all our needs and we prepared and enjoyed a full Thanksgiving dinner with my Mother who lives in assisted living locally. We had very good communication with both Sharon and her housekeeper. The cabin is cozy but plenty large with all amenities available. We would recommend this rental to anyone visiting the area.

What a wonderful home!

We had a wonderful weekend with friends and celebrated Senior Day with our sons on the HSC football team. We had 4 couples stay at the cabin and entertained our sons and their friends by the fire Friday night and had a cookout for them again Sunday before we left. The home was very lovely and had plenty of room for all of us. We didn't want to leave - we wish this had been available all 4 of our years at HSC. We will be back as we are now forever Tiger fans! I have been recommending to other Hampden-Sydney and Longwood families. I just hope they don't take all the weekends next year.
