Tucked deep in an enchanting Appalachian Mountain Holler(Hollow, if we want to be more formal), Babbling Brook Cabin feels like something out of a movie scene—or the pages of a storybook. From the moment you begin the drive up the gravel road, you’re greeted with views so charming they almost feel unreal. Perfectly situated at 3,900 feet above sea level, this 2,441 sq ft mountain haven blends the rustic beauty of the Blue Ridge with the timeless elegance of an English countryside home, a reflection of one of the owners who was raised in the United Kingdom. The result? A cozy, welcoming escape that feels both grand and familiar—like a mountain lodge and a charming English country house rolled into one.
Set on 43 private acres, our property borders the 4,500-acre Grayson Highlands State Park—home to famous wild ponies and endless panoramic views. A marked trail winds from the cabin to the top of the property, reaching nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, where you can take in the sweeping mountain scenery in total privacy. Wildlife is abundant—watch deer wander the apple trees, chipmunks and groundhogs play along the trails, and countless bird species that make our land a birder’s dream.
In spring, the hillsides are alive with meticulously planted blooms and a rainbow of wildflowers. In summer, enjoy cool mountain breezes and take a refreshing dip in one of our three spring-fed waterfalls and natural pools (swim at your own risk—life jackets provided). Autumn paints the landscape in rich golds, reds, and oranges, while winter brings peaceful snowfall that transforms the property into a wonderland.
