Loves Afton Cabin
Afton, VA
Your Private Mountain Resort in the Heart of Virginia Wine Country
Tucked away on 17.1 peaceful acres just off Virginia's famous Nelson 151 Wine & Brew Trail, Loves Afton Cabin is the ultimate retreat for families, friend groups, and anyone craving a true escape in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you're planning a bachelorette weekend, a multi-family reunion, a corporate retreat, or just a long-overdue getaway with your crew, this property delivers the rare combination of seclusion and serious fun.
Perfectly positioned in Nelson County — minutes from the Monticello Wine Trail and the region's best breweries — this is your home base for exploring Virginia wine country without sacrificing a single comfort.
The Space
Days here start slowly. Maybe it's coffee on the sprawling deck while deer wander through the trees, or a quiet morning at the private fishing pond with a line in the water. Later, soak in the 7-person hot tub, unwind in the sauna, or gather around the firepit under a wide-open canopy of stars.
Inside, Loves Afton Cabin accommodates up to 16 guests across five thoughtfully arranged bedrooms. Two primary king suites — one on each upper level, each with a private bath — make it easy for multiple families or couples to share the space without sacrificing privacy. A bunk room stocked with toys and books keeps younger guests happy, and the open-concept main floor keeps everyone connected, with a generous dining room and screened porch perfect for long, unhurried dinners.
Downstairs, a second living area features a pool table, arcade games, and room for movie nights or tournament-style game sessions. In the climate-controlled garage, guests find a full game lounge: shuffleboard, foosball, Skee-Ball, pinball, air hockey, and arcade classics like NBA Jam and Street Fighter, plus a dry bar for snacks and drinks between rounds. Outside, kids love the custom playset and giant Connect 4, while adults settle into Adirondack chairs nearby.
