About the host

Hosted by Scott E Naff

Host profile image

We were married at this cabin in the summer of 2012. The cabin was purchased by Scott's parents in 1976 and was sold to the close family friends that have had it since 1994. We are blessed to have it back in the family again and look forward to sharing many memories with all of you. We are positive that you will enjoy it as much as we do and that you will leave the cabin with wonderful memories and experiences that will bless your family for years to come.

Why they chose this property

The New River and the Blue Ridge Mountains are both home to Scott and Cathy. The cabin rests on the bank of the New River and enjoys beautiful views up and downriver. The cabin was built by a long-time family friend and Scott and his dad built the hearth and outdoor grill from rocks they collected from the river and along the driveway. The sound of the rapids provide a serene backdrop to walks up the road or while relaxing in the hammock or sitting on the screened in porch.

What makes this property unique

Easy drive to Virginia Tech and Radford University for graduations, family weekends, ball games, and just to drop in. Just wade into the river from the bank in front of the cabin and you are moments away from world class fishing in the New River. Canada geese and other waterfowl are abundant along the river. Access to the river both upstream and downstream for kayaking and canoeing. Playing cards and board games with the family out on the screened-in porch. Roasting marshmallows on the outdoor stone grill. Relaxing in the hammock. Inner-tubing down the river from the bridge. Riding bikes on the New River Trail State Park across the river from the cabin.
