A few weeks ago, we took a break from cleaning the cabin to hike with friends nearby at Home Quarry in the George Washington National Forest. This trail leads to an incredible spot to take a break & eat lunch. It’s lovingly referred to as ‘lovers leap.’ We didn’t jump!! ☺️

After cleaning & changing linens I do a quick ‘once over’ to high traffic surfaces like light switches & doorknobs with a sanitizing wipe!

A frequent question we get is, “Whatbdo you keep stocked in the kitchen?” Having the answer can help you prepare for your stay! Here are photos of the kitchen essentials that you’ll likely find!!
Coffee, filters, sugar, cream, & cocoa!!
Ketchup, mustard, Mayo, & syrup.
Olive oil, salt, pepper, and leftover spices from previous guests.

We also provide freshly cleaned linens, toilet paper, & paper towels for your stay!

What are items that you expect to have on hand when staying at a vacation home?

New guests arrive tomorrow just in time for the snow. Their family wanted to be ‘snowed-in’ in a cabin while in VA. What’s more perfect than leaving marshmallows & cocoa mix for them upon arrival? Also, left some practical items such as the snow shovel & ice melt in a handy location to help them dig out!

I am always looking for ways to make guests at Woodside Retreat feel special and well taken care of.

⭐️Night at Woodside⭐️

The only thing Woodside has in common with Motel 8 is that I’ll leave the lights on for you! 😉 This sets the tone for your stay and makes the cabin easier to find!

One of the first things that I do when preparing Woodside Retreat for the next guest is to read any musings that the previous guest has left in our notebook. It’s always fun to receive personal notes, stories, poems, & drawings that visitors leave behind. Be sure to leave your mark before checkout!! 🤗

Thank you to Bare Design Company for creating gorgeous Christmas wreaths to adorn the doors of Woodside Retreat!! They perfectly fit in with the cozy alpine cabin feel of the other Christmas decorations throughout!

Every bit of feedback that is received helps make the stay even better for future guests. Recently, a guest mentioned that they’d liked to have had a colander for their meal prep at Woodside Retreat, and while shopping at my favorite boutique retail/nonprofit shop, New Creation, I came across the perfect colander! Now you can strain, drain, and rinse until your heart is content during your visit!!

This is nearby Hearthstone Lake, located off of Tilman Rd. I had no idea that it existed, but it looks like a serene reservoir. Narrowback Trail & a primative camping area are located just down the road.

How about a quick video walkthrough?! Enjoy this tour through Woodside Retreat cabin.

We had an extra hour while waiting for the laundry to dry the other day, so my son & I went exploring a nearby hiking trail! This is a portion of Hidden Rocks trail which is located off of Hone Quarry Rd. The creek was a little too high for us to cross, but it was fun to take in all of the fall colors, crisp air, and beautiful scenery!

I’ve added a few small touches, like a desk & some cozy pillows/throws. Also, these photos show the upgraded fridge and tv.
