Best Overall: Modern Seven-Sleeper Cabin Near Big Island Airbnb Buy on Airbnb.com Bedrooms (1) 1 Queen Bed 3 Single Beds 1 Sofa Bed 7 Guests Amenities Kitchen Indoor Fireplace WiFi Laundry Located in a remote mountain community near the town of Big Island—which is near Lynchburg and not an actual island—this tiny house is minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail. It’s Superhost owned and stands out for its near-perfect Airbnb score. At just over 300 square feet it should feel small, and yet, cathedral ceilings, a clever open-plan layout, and a modern color scheme of creams and charcoals give the impression of abundant light and space. There’s a queen bed in the loft and three bunks in the bedroom. Spend your time swinging in a hammock, roasting s’mores over the garden firepit, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen before curling up with a good book in front of the indoor fireplace.
