About this property

Cozy, Romantic, River & Trail Access, Great Views

New River Retreat's Mystic Moon; with its wide open sky views, rolling green pastures and tranquil river, is the perfect place to rediscover this sacred connection that we share with nature.

I give my guests space but am available when needed.

The moon has a magic all its own. Its mystery and allure has captivated the human spirit since the beginning of time. The pull of the moon influences everything on earth, from ocean tides to the feeding patterns of animals. It's no wonder that we're drawn to the moon with a magnetism that stirs our imagination. The moon awakens us to that ancient connection we share with all living things. New River Retreat's Mystic Moon; with its wide open sky views, rolling green pastures and tranquil river, is the perfect place to rediscover this sacred connection that we share with nature.

Mystic Moon is located on 107 rolling acres of farm land and has access to 3000 feet of river frontage. On one half of the river front you'll find a trail through the woods that leads to a deep swimming hole - on the other side you'll find a large field with shallow waters perfect for sitting a camp chair in on hot days and letting the water flow around you (also, there is a fire pit with firewood for incredible sunsets over the river). You can even bring your kayak, put in on one end and get out on the other! Hike down to the river/trail access or drive down - whatever you prefer! This access is only shared with three other homes. You also have access to the scenic 55 mile New River Trail which cuts through the property. Wake up to incredible sunrises.

Mystic Moon

Cabin was clean and well supplied. Great location, quiet and secluded, yet close enough to Pulaski and Wytheville for going out to dinner and shopping. Private New River Trail was great although a little steep for riding the bikes, lol. Look forward to coming back again soon!

Best stay ever

If you enjoy outdoors and activities with simple luxury this is perfect for you. it's gorgeous! Great access to the river and New River trail to bike. Don't miss out on building a fire down by the river- there is wood and fire pit. Cute mercantile in draper and dinner at Als on first was a lovely experience. Highly recommend

Remote and great; agree with need for bigger bed

This is cabin sits on lovely piece of remote land in the New River Valley. Don't expect a short ride to the grocery store. It is remote which is what makes it great. It is a good size for two people. Three would be a stretch. I agree with the comments here that a king size bed is necessary given that there is only one bed in the house and no rollout bed of any kind. The lack of one will influence my decision to return in the future.

Mystic Moon is a place I think about when I need to calm my mind. It is quiet, beautiful and has everything you need for a get-away. Our three nights checked all the boxes, again. We will be back,

Anniversary Weekend!

We had an excellent stay at the property! We brought our Aussidoodle to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary with us and what a place to celebrate our time together. The place was so comfy! After figuring out the TV with your help I was even able to enjoy the Ohio State vs Notre Dame football game. Yes, the best team won!! Hiking the New River Trail was awesome and just hanging out at the nicely appointed house was very comforting! Thanks for the stay!
