About this house rental

Welcome to Hobo Haven! Hobo Haven, our family-built home named after our beloved dog Hobo, is a charming log cabin located on two acres on Lake Gaston in Bracey, Virginia. Our three story, three bedroom, three bath home is a classic log cabin, featuring plank hard wood floors, wood beam ceilings, and, of course, beautiful hand-hewn log walls.

Our home boasts three covered and one uncovered decks, all with beautiful views of the lake. It also features a large screened-in porch, perfect for eating lunch on a warm summer day. These covered outside spaces allow you to enjoy the outdoors even in the case of bad weather. The fully equipped, open concept kitchen is ideal for preparing any meal, and features a dining room table with seating for ten, perfect for a lovely family dinner. Even on a cool autumn or winter day, cozy up next to one of two beautiful stone fireplaces, one located in the kitchen, the other in the second story family room area. Despite being a rustic log cabin, Hobo Haven still has standard modern luxuries we’ve come to expect, including three 32-inch and two 50-inch flat screen TVs, cable, telephone, air conditioning, and heat.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Great cove spot on the lake caught plenty of fish off the dock. Paddle boards and kayak were nice to use. House was ok very big and spacious plenty of areas to hangout and play games or just sit and chill. Fire pit area is new and very nice. When we first arrived we had to sweep and remove cobwebs from windows. Back yard is under construction so I would say not good for kids or older people until it is fixed. Everyone slipped down the hill of rocks at some point in our stay. 3rd floor front bedroom bed was noisy and not comfortable for me and the Window ac units could use a cleaning also.

House was perfect for our size family! Adults on top floor, kids on second floor, living space and kitchen on 1st floor! Was very easy to spread out while inside which was not very often. The 3 lots the house sits on gave the 4 boys plenty of room to fish and the largest bass over 4 lbs. was caught right there off the stone wall. Lots of swim toys and jumping off the top of the boat house was a hit. Owners explained the construction that was going on since there had been so much rain in the area and were super cool to accommodate by allowing the use of the boat lifts! Great time! Great weather! Overall an awesome vacation!

We got married and wanted to celebrate with the grown kids and grands and it was the perfect place for that! We had a great time and the house made it easy for everyone to either be together or have some quiet time on their own. The dock and lake were wonderful! It was wonderful!

This beautiful log cabin home on Lake Gaston was the perfect place for our family to gather for Christmas. Such warmth and character. The kitchen had everything we needed for some delicious cooking over the course of several days. We brought our own Christmas tree, along with some simple Christmas decorations, that really made it feel like home! The weather was warm enough for us to be able to be outside and gather with a fire every night. We fished for some catfish off the dock, and got a massive big blue catfish on Christmas morning! We will book again in the summer months when we can access the lake with a boat and kayaks!

The location was beautiful. The first day was spent in clearing away the cob webs inside and outside the home. Upon walking in we walked through several spider webs. We then had to make up the beds, (I had to wash one bed spread that was dirty before sleeping underneath it) sweeping the floors and turning on the heat. It looked as if no one had been there in a long time. The house was freezing cold. There were not enough blankets. The bathroom on the main floor only dispensed hot water so we had to keep bottled water for brushing our teeth and washing hands. At the end of the stay, we had to wash, dry, fold and put away all of the linens. It took 5 hours because it was a lot of laundry and we wanted to do a good job. We had to take the trash to the shell station down the road. It was a beautiful location but a lot of work for a getaway. You have to really like spiders.

We just got home from our weekend visit. It was a short trip and wish we could have stayed longer. The house and property are very nice and just as described. Enjoyed spending our afternoon sitting by the fire watching our grandchildren fish. Everything you need and very beautiful and quiet location.

Our family absolutely loves this house for so many reasons. The property is pet friendly, and almost completely fenced in which is a huge plus. We comfortably had 6 couples in the bedrooms, and 4 teens on the middle floor - there are bunk beds there and plenty of room to set up two air mattresses for them to spread out and have their space. We enjoyed eating out on the screened in porch when the occasional rainstorm would crop up, but primarily we were on the dock all day! The water is nice and deep, so jumping off either of the docks was fun and safe. Everyone really enjoyed using the paddle boards and kayak, and floating on the giant mat was very relaxing. Even though we had a few issues upon check in, the owners are ALWAYS responsive and make it right to the best of their ability - we so appreciated their care. I do love that there is everything you need for your stay. There are trash bags, hand soap, dish washing soap, etc., and all the necessary kitchen items available. I always pack these things when I travel, but this home is well stocked. The only recommendation I would make is to get a new mattress for the sleeper sofa, as the one that is on there is not able to be slept on. No doubt we will be coming back for a 3rd visit next summer as this place just has it all. Thank you all so much for another awesome family vacation!
