Experience the New River @ "Wildwood Cabin"

SonyaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Wildwood Cabin was the perfect place for a quiet getaway. It is the most peaceful and quiet spot! The only things we could hear around us was a quiet distant sound of the river & bird sounds. We found it easily & the accommodations were clean and mostly well equipped. Our only problem was there were 2 can openers in the kitchen, but neither one was working. Everything else we needed was there and worked beautifully. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We loved that the cabin was so close to the New River Trail State Park at Foster Falls. That was a lovely park area & we enjoyed 2 different outings riding our bikes in perfect weather. All of the park rangers and employees, as well as other people visiting the park were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful visit to this area of Virginia.

Granny Branch Inn - Peace and tranquility

WilliamRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Charming house that truly felt like staying at Grandmom’s in the country. Large enough for a bigger family, 2 small families or a small group of friends. Lots of room to spread out. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of what would be needed for cooking meals. The surrounding area was beautiful. Perfect peaceful scenery for sitting on that front porch swing listening to the birds and watching calves chasing one another on the hillside. Freshly baked brownies were a thoughtful treat waiting for us when we arrived. Would definitely stay again.
