Wonderfully cozy vacation.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at what we called the ‘cozy cabin’. The location was great. Nicely tucked away in nature but still not too far from stores for picking up groceries and such. Everything was super clean and we had a great time on vacation.

Beautiful property and location

Our family loved spending a week at this wonderful cabin with access to the New River. The cabin was clean and filled with so many convenient and thoughtful extras. The only thing that would have been better would be having more time to spend in this gorgeous and relaxing property..The owners were super responsive and very pleasant.

New River Ridge log cabin

I would highly recommend this lovely vacation home! It was in a beautiful location just 15 minutes from West Jefferson and near many hiking trails, with the added benefit of access to the New River. It was clean, nicely decorated and well appointed. We also enjoyed the back deck tucked into the treetops. Book a few nights you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing and charming long cabin

The cabin was just as it was pictured on the website. Quaint, charming, beautiful scenery that overlooks the river in the back. The kitchen was fully stocked with the essentials. Planning to definitely return to this cabin.

Beautiful, Peaceful and Relaxing!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our time at this beautiful mountain home. Very private, yet close to stores and shopping. The water is beautiful. The home is very clean with well stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets and pillows. The fireplace was so cozy on cold nights! We really enjoyed our time in this home.

Love the cabin and location

We had a great time last year. couldn’t wait to come back Cabin is clean, spacious, well maintained and well equipped. There is private access to the River with a picnic table and fire ring. Grandkids loved being able to swim and fish every day. The New River has public access on Hwy 163. We brought our own tubes and floated back to the cabin.

We had a really nice time. It was very relaxing .

The property (&cabin) was excellent. The pictures did not do justice. It was more beautiful in person. The scenery was breath taking. We were able relax and enjoy much needed family time. The property owner was very commutative with any questions we had! It was our first time using VRBO. We will definitely use VRBO again + stay at this cabin again!

debrah w.

nice porch;but not so private

house sits very close to dirt road; all traffic going by can see in the house unless blinds close. Also road between house and river; owner lives on it and travels up and down it when there along with his visitors. Owner also keeps canoes and other personal belongings, under rental house of which he came and went at least 3 times while I was there for a week For us it wasn't very private. I guess you may or may not have peace and quiet depending if a lot of people going up and down road; which they did while I was there. River was nice but hard to take boats in and out.House was comfortable and had nice porch. Very disappointed it wasn't more private. Debrah

Wonderful retreat. Great deck for watching the river flow by. Gas fireplace in the living room made cool mornings and evenings cozy. The home had everything we needed and more. Nearby there was a number of hiking trails and state parks to explore. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a short drive away. We especially liked the nearby Old Barn Winery for the live music. And the West Jefferson farmers market.

Mountain Hideaway

I do not think we can write everything we would like to about this place. It was one of the best places we have stayed in up here in the high county. Has the room you need to move around, and it is easy to get to town and other places. We had nice walks with the dogs down to the water. Gaze at the deer in the yard every day, fed the hummingbirds on the back porch and just hung out. We would stay here again.
