New River Farm House

2nd time staying. Another wonderful couple of days. Exceptionally quiet and as close to off grid as my wife likes. Enjoyed the farm so much. Took binoculars and watched the wild life come out every evening. I caught 1 fish this time, but that was enough.

Great view and walking distance to The NewRiver

Older home, which was very well kept up. Two bedrooms, with one having a heating unit in it, which was very loud. The beds were comfortable. Great place to bring kids. Needs smoke detectors, and fire extinguisher. Very nice host. It had everything you need to cook meals. Town of independence is within 10 minutes to get your groceries, to see a museum, and to get fast food. Great place to sit out on the deck and just relax.

Gorgeous Property!

I was in the area to move my son into the nearby school. The host was responsive and helpful. The property is gorgeous, from the nature to the home. A beautiful historic home that’s even more beautiful in person. The home is clean and well decorated. Check in was a breeze and the WiFi worked well (I don’t have cell phone service) I can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Wonderful place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the cottage; it was exactly as described and wished we had been able to stay longer. Sitting on the porch with a view of the river, watching eagles and other birds after a long day of travel and hiking was the perfect ending of each day. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with the owner. The location is not far from Stone Mountain or Grayson Highlands. Would highly recommend staying here if you want a peaceful, relaxing stay!

Great Christmas gathering cottage

Perfect house on the New river! We loved the location and the house was large enough to accommodate our Christmas family gathering. The deer, geese and chickens next door were great. The host was awesome and the the bread and jam were a nice touch. We would highly recommend this property and plan to return.
