30 Fox Ridge Ln Woodville, VA 22749

Whether you re writing the great American novel or just journaling the daily details of country living, this delightful cabin at the edge of the woods will inspire you.The Writer's Cabin is a three-level log home (1,430 sq. ft.) that is private enough for a Walden-like experience but also convenient to Sperryville if you are more interested in a Moveable Feast. It has long, dramatic mountain views that morph from awesome to gently comforting depending on the light, the season and which way the wind is blowing.Shaded by towering oaks, the cabin has enough open lawn for outdoor enjoyment, but it requires little maintenance. There is an open deck that's the ideal spot for watching the sunset over the Blue Ridge and stargazing during the darkness of the night. A short walk down the hill is a quiet woodland pond surrounded by perennial flowers that attracts wildlife from hummingbirds to big black bears.The wide front porch opens to soaring great room with log walls, 20-foot ceilings, and a fieldstone fireplace with raised hearth and a massive wood mantle. It segues to a dining area and an efficient galley kitchen. Out the back door, there is a two-level covered porch with breathtaking western views of fields, forest and the Shenandoah National Park. Behind a balcony above the great room, the master suite occupies the upper level. The bedroom has a cathedral ceiling lit by a skylight. The lower level includes two guest bedrooms and a full bath. Both bedrooms open to the private lower level porch which has outstanding views and access to the lower lawn areas. The Writer's Cabin is about six miles from the village of Sperryville.
