Cabane Luvin on the Ridge

To see "Luvin' on the Ridge" is love at first sight – in any season. If you enjoy hiking and quiet evenings on the deck or in the hot tub, you will love it too. There are dozens of trails nearby just a few miles away starting off of Skyline Drive, including access to the Appalachian Trail. If you want something closer (and easier), stroll the well-marked trails of Preddy Creek Park. There is even a trail from the cabin to Lydia Mountain Lodge that passes the site of an old Cold War radar site. Enjoy the Stanardsville Farmers Market on Saturdays from April through October. Enjoy the casual dining in Stanardsville or Ruckersville and at Bearrr Appetit at Lydia Mountain Lodge itself, where a spectacular view awaits you. Visit Montpelier, home of James Madison, our fourth president, and tour the grounds or just hike on the paths. Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, is also close enough for a visit. A 20-mile trip to downtown Charlottesville is highly recommended, and a walk around the campus of the University of Virginia beckons from there as well. Did we mention wine tasting? If you want to take a day off from hiking, schedule a special Italian lunch at Paladio at the Barboursville Vineyards. Early Mountain Vineyards is even closer and offers a light lunch after your wine-tasting. There are many other vineyards in the area as well. We hope you enjoy your visit and will come again!
