About this property

SUMMER SALE just 125 per night. A ROMANTIC LOG CABIN, NEAR NEW RIVER TRAIL PARK

Experience a simpler time in one of Wythe County’s oldest standing structures. Built circa 1850 from rare, hand-hewn American Chestnut logs, this lovingly preserved historic cabin blends old-world romance with modern luxury.
We have just completed an extensive, top-to-bottom spring cleaning, and the cabin is completely refreshed and sparkling for your summer getaway! Updates include brand-new, comfortable living room furniture, featuring a cozy loveseat and a plush, oversized recliner perfect for sinking into after a day of adventure.
Nestled right off Rt. 52 and I-77 with effortless, flat access (no winding, tricky mountain roads!), your worry-free mountain escape begins the moment you arrive with easy self-check-in. And just like that old TV ad promised, we’ll leave the light on for you.
Inside the Refreshed Cabin
• The Living Room: Unwind in our brand-new, premium furniture. Put your feet up in the plush, oversized recliner or curl up on the cozy new loveseat by the warm glow of the remote-controlled gas logs in the original stone fireplace. Features a 43” HD flat-screen TV with DirecTV and complimentary Wi-Fi.
• The Modern Kitchen: Fully equipped with a full-size electric range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, cookware, and a large eat-in table. We provide coffee supplies for your first morning, basic seasonings, sugar, and creamer.
• The Bedroom Suite (Upstairs): A romantic oasis featuring exposed chestnut logs, a pillow-topped queen bed dressed in luxury linens, a large walk-in closet, and a 43" HD flat-screen TV. Fall asleep to the magical sound of a summer rain shower on the classic metal roof.
• Bathrooms & Laundry: A convenient half-bath is located just off the kitchen, an upstairs full bathroom features a tub/shower combo with plush towels, and a main-floor LG washer/dryer is fully stocked with detergent pods.
• Summer Comfort: A brand-new mini-split system provides individually controlled air conditioning (and heating) in every room, keeping you perfectly cool on warm summer days.
Outdoor Living & Amenities
• The Deck: Step outside into the warm summer air to listen to the gentle, soothing sounds of Shorts Creek flowing just below the cabin.
• Grilling: Cook up your favorite steaks, burgers, or the day's fresh catch on our Blackstone griddle grill.
• A Special Welcome: Enjoy a complimentary bottle of local wine from the renowned Chateau Morissette Winery in nearby Floyd County.
• Pets Welcome! Your furry family members are part of the vacation. We even provide extra sheets in the laundry room so your well-behaved pets can curl up comfortably without furniture worries.

Prime Location & Summer Outdoor Adventure
Kent's Cabin puts the absolute best of the New River Trail State Park right at your doorstep:

Great location for access to the New River State Park Trail. It was a unique experience to stay in a cabin built with hand hewn timber from chestnut trees.

I would not recommend this cabin if you have pets or children. I've never received a bad review until here. Don't sneeze or let your children spill anything.they charged me 250 dollars for comforter I washed for them as I even washed the linens and towels. To help out. Then was accused of taking the duvet cover which was in the dryer drying when I left. Will not ever stay there again

Hi Angie: Our cabin is not set up for families and children. We request couples only. Apparently you were trying to be helpful by doing the laundry and it may be because of stains created by your children. However, we specifically ask that our guests not do any laundry. This is mentioned on the information sheet on the kitchen table. Also our Manager and I both informed you not to do the laundry. We have a special system of cleaning and sanitizing our linens and they cannot be washed in a stackable laundry unit. Pets are allowed and you did tell me that your dog was il. You mentioned that you were replacing the rug at the door because the dog vomited on it. I sincerely appreciate the offer, but didn't find a replacement rug. The duvet cover was not in the dryer and the HVAC remote was not found in the sofa. We'll need to replace both of those items.

The cabin is cozy and charming. However, it needs a deep cleaning the windows are very dirty and the stink bugs are abundant. Unfortunately the road noise was very disturbing and one night a tractor trailer parked at the turn off across from the cabin and idled all night.

Bonnie: I am so sorry for the delay in responding to your review. We took it to heart and just completed a deep cleaning of the Cabin from top to bottom. We also purchased new Living room furniture. Next time you come you'll see a totally refreshed Cabin! So sorry about that tractor trailer disturbing your sleep. Parking there is not permitted and especially running the motor. I'm going to contact our Sheriff's Dept to see if that can't be better patrolled. Hope you will be able to visit us again in the near future. Best Regards, Judi & Ann

Always a cozy stay, regardless of the time of year. Easy access to the New River park, Wytheville, and just away enough from everyone else (without being inaccessible) this is a place I've been to several times in the last year and keep coming back when I need to get away somewhere quiet.

I used to visit this area as a child often, as my family lives nearby. I always loved this little log cabin setting on the corner of the road and a creek. Not far from the shot tower, which is a great park, and the New River Trail. To see it on this site for temporary rent was great. I booked it for a pre-holiday stay and it will now be my go-to place. It was so warm and cozy when the temperatures are quite cold outside, and the fact that there’s a full bathroom on the second floor with the bedroom is wonderful. Yes the steps are steep to get to the bedroom, but they’re very doable and you don’t have to come down again till the next morning. It’s a little bit like house on the Prairie, but your little house in the mountains. And the owners are so communicative and lovely. Highly recommend.

We were grateful for the multiple heating units (one in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one upstairs), for when we arrived on a freezing day, the cabin was nice and toasty! It was awesome having a good chunk of land to walk the dog around, plus it's less than a mile away from the New River Trail, which we were able to walk extensively.The kitchen had everything you need, pans, coffee-maker, fridge/freezer. It truly feels like a cabin experience with all the amenities you're used to at home.The one drawback was based off location - you could hear the traffic from route 77 where we were, so didn't quite fit the "we're the only folks here for miles" vibe we were hoping to get with a cabin getaway. I absolutely cannot fault the owners for this, though! They did truly everything they could to make our stay comfortable.

5 Star - Perfect Getaway!

We enjoyed every moment at Kent’s Cabin! Judi and Ann were the perfect hosts—so warm and welcoming. The cabin was spotless and beautifully maintained, thanks to Ernie and Sabrina. From the inviting front porch rockers to the peaceful brook beside the cabin, everything was thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The location was ideal for us, and every detail made it feel like a true home away from home. We had everything we needed and more! Hoping to book again for a cozy fall stay
