With numerous water features, and a rich and charming history, this special property is the closest you can rent to the Old Rag Berry Hollow trailhead and a close walk to the White Oak Canyon/Cedar Run trailhead. Forget fighting for a parking spot, walk out the front door to the trailheads. “Berry Hollow Retreat” is the perfect escape for outdoor enthusiasts. The land consists of 5+ acres bordering Shenandoah National Park and has 2 ponds and a bold private mountain creek. Enjoy the famous waterfalls and panoramic summit views of the Shenandoah National Park. Watch the sun set from the patio, fly fish the nearby famous Robinson, Hughes and Rose trout streams. Gather with friends for drink and food at nearby Ducard Vineyard, Blue Quartz/Shotwell Run Brewery, and Graves Mountain Lodge. The property is rustic - expect to encounter lots of wildlife! There are two cabins on the property. This listing is for the cabin called "Birch's Library." The cabin is perfect for nature lovers -- an amazing location if you like hiking fishing, birding, or just unplugging and going off grid. There is one ample sized bedroom with custom twin “captain” beds. A previous owner had them made extra high so he could wake up to views of his beloved ponds. There's also a comfortable futon in the great room. You'll also find plenty of interesting things in the cabin, such as an antique phonograph that still works. The private mountain creek that runs through the entire property is a tributary to the Robison River. You can hear its soothing sounds from inside Birch's Library when the windows are open. The stream feeds two ponds which have a history of being stocked with trout. You can still see fish in the pond -- and we plan to stock it with rainbow trout for catch and release fishing (will update listing when stocked). The other cabin on the property is solely for use by the owners. It was originally built in 1864/65 by a Union solider from the 16th Maine Regiment. It came to affectionately be known as "Potlikker House." You can see the hand-hewing marks on the logs made with an adze to roughly square up the logs. Also, lore has it that a previous owner acquired Herbert Hoover’s dilapidated piano during a renovation of Camp Hoover and embedded its metal frame in the walkway between Potlikker House and Birch’s Library - you will still find it there! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - 2 steps to reach entrance - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Garden - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Unit size: 1,289 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/19000000/18994200/18994194/7deb77b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Mountain Cabin, Lakefront, Hiking, Fishing, Relaxing Syria - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 148 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=18994194&PinnedHotelID=18994194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18767800/18767710/w800h599x0y1-0587214f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fox Den Cabin--Secluded Mountain Getaway Near Shenandoah National Park Luray - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 157 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=18767710&PinnedHotelID=18767710&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18764600/18764554/10d05744.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to White Oak Canyon Trail in Shenandoah National Park Syria - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.2 Wonderful 99 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=18764554&PinnedHotelID=18764554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74790000/74785900/74785841/869d3728.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ❤️ Contemporary Cabin by Shenandoah National Park & Old Rag on 30 private acres!
