The cabin and surrounding property are amazing. Super clean and well equipped. You will get a good workout climbing the hill from the river, but well worth it. This is definitely one too come back to.

We spent a long wknd here small mouth bass fishing. This cabin was as described and very remote, which was perfect for some relaxing time by the water. Everything gets 5 stars, I would highly recommend this cozy cabin by the river for a relaxing vacation!

Very nice accommodations. It’s definitely a trek from the main road but no problems as roads are well-maintained, the views are great and we enjoyed seeing the deer on every trip in and out. We loved the riverside view and enjoyed fishing in front of the cabin. Inside was nice and comfortable.

Wonderful cabin and setting! Enjoyed our stay very much. Our car is 2WD without high clearance, but with careful driving on the gravel road we had no problem. It was so relaxing sitting on the porch overlooking the grounds and the river, or in the gazebo down by the water. We would happily return and definitely recommend.

New River - Independence Day

We very much enjoyed this cabin and for July 4th weekend. It’s seclusion was somewhat suprising, literally at the end of long off the main road ride, yet still an easy drive through pines, past deer, and ending above the river. Nice river view and access. Close enough to Highway 221 for access to Fries, Galax, New River State Park, and Blue Ridge Music Center, all of which we enjoyed.

Perfect cabin & location, but river access was difficult to get to as it was straight up &down a hill with limited area mowed for fishing and no vehicle access.

Fabulous

This place was absolutely amazing—secluded, peaceful, and spotless. Kayaking and fishing on the New River were fantastic! I would highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely be coming back. My only suggestions for the cabin would be to add more silverware, as well as extra pots, pans, and mixing bowls for cooking.
