Escape to our charming 1-bedroom cabin nestled in the heart of Draper along the New River. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a cozy and well-appointed space that's perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Unwind in the inviting whirl pool tub for two, connect with loved ones using the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of the in-unit washer and dryer. When it's time to wind down, settle in for a movie night on the smart TV or dive into the selection of books and games.

Serenity

Perfect place to get away for my birthday. Spent most of the time on the river but the cabin was a perfect place to relax after a day of adventuring. Loved the windows that gave a beautiful view of the river and having kayaks provided for river use was the icing on the cake! 10/10 would stay here again!

Little piece of heaven

Beautiful property, comfortable and well appointed cabin right on the New river. Fishing, kayaks, wonderful porches for sipping coffee while the birds serenade you. Wonderful jetted tub, fire pit, and grill make it easy to relax at this fabulous cabin. Very responsive hosts make sure you have everything you need for a special getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary here, and will certainly be back

Great place to run

My wife and I were celebrating 31 years of marriage. The cabin was very nice and very thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you might need. We brought our Labrador with us. There was lots of space for him to run. The view was outstanding. It was very private and relaxing. We had a great time and we would definitely recommend the cabin to friends Joe & Laure

Couple Getaway

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a lovely time in the secluded cabin with our little English bulldog, Goose. We spent the nights by the fire, enjoyed the local wineries, and got a chance to go up the river on the kayaks for a relaxing day on the water. Would 100% come back to this property.

45th

2nd visit to Fireflies, both times to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Dog walks on the New River Trail and visited a couple nearby vineyards. This made for a relaxing weekend. Like last year, the deer are entertaining to watch and they nearly come onto the back porch.

About the host

Hosted by Kathie Conaway

Host profile image
We retired to the New River Valley in 2008 having lived in the southern portion of New Jersey. Kathie was an elementary school principal and Bill ran a small contracting business.

Why they chose this property

Bill and his father built the cabin in 2009. The cabin was designed and furnished with our future guests in mind. Our aim has always been to make our guests' stay relaxing. We make every effort to make Fireflies Cabin your home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been designed and located on the property in such a way that you feel like you are far 'away from it all' while being only 5 miles from Interstate 81 and 800 feet off of route 100 (Wysor Highway).Our very own floating dock sits on the river in front of the cabin. It is great for fishing and swimming.
