The New River Campground is only about 1/2 mile away. You can rent tubes and kayaks there. They will drop you upriver and you end up back at the campground after your float. It's very convenient. In the fall, enjoy a fire in the stacked stone fireplace in the living room.

Great spot on the New River! Hosts are communicative and accommodating and the cabin is cozy, comfortable and in a perfect location for enjoying the area.
We had a great stay. Home just as described. Communication with the owner was quick and helpful It was so nice to get away from the summer heat and a perfect place to stay while we celebrated a family wedding over the weekend
We never wanted to leave the beautiful porch and the rocking chairs that gave us a riverfront view. Our stay was so peaceful and the house was a perfect fit for our needs. Would definitely come back!
Cabin was clean, spacious and inviting. Beautiful interior. No complaints about anything in the house. Host was very responsive. Great location right on the river. Extremely relaxing. Sitting on the porch listening to the water was a huge perk. Lots of wildlife. Saw deer, groundhogs, chipmunks, geese and cranes on the river. Would definitely come again!
The red river house was just as described. The best feature was the front porch on the New River, where we saw lots of wildlife, including bald eagles. Great for cool mornings and rainy afternoons!
The communications with and responsiveness of the owners were great, as there were a few small snafus with the prior renters that affected our stay initially.
Our family of four stayed two nights with parents/grandparents from CA. The master on the main floor was perfect for the grandparents, and there was plenty of space for the rest of us to have our own spaces on the second floor.
The cabin is exactly like the photos, but with even more charm in person. Beautiful view and amazing deck. Well stocked, comfortable beds, great communication with host.
The house was very clean and well appointed. We were able to cook with no issues. Beds were very comfortable! We had everything we needed . We did a little fishing and went tubing one afternoon but mostly sat on the porch and watched the river and talked. The house feels cozy and inviting. Due to the holiday weekend there was a small festival in town and we could not get into a restaurant. Also, there weren’t many hiking trails nearby and some were still closed due to Helene (just fyi). Other than being very dark in the house, it was perfect! That porch is the best part of the entire stay! This is not an area if you like to “go and do”. Very remote, yet beautiful.
Don’t pass this listing up, this cabin has everything! There are 4 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds. We each had our own space to retreat to! There were 4 bathrooms too, 2 are full and 2 are half. That came in handy with a larger group. The open living room/eat in kitchen area is large enough to fit 8 comfortably and is well appointed. There is a huge fireplace that we can’t wait to use the next time we come! The front porch overlooks the New River and had lots of seating for all of our guests. Great location too! Located on a private road not too close to other cabins and only 10 min from Sparta and Independence. We enjoyed a night out at a cute wine bar in Sparta! We will be back! Thanks for helping me with my reservation as well, it’s much appreciated!!

About the host
Hosted by Charlie and Jill Bellia
My husband and I own the last cabin at the end of the street and we have always admired this home. In September of 2023 we got together with two other friends and decided to purchase the Red House. We are so happy to be able to share it and the river with you!
Why they chose this property
The area is very peaceful and tranquil.
What makes this property unique
We think this is one of the best parts of the New River! We have 300 feet of river frontage and the river is 300 feet wide here. You are secluded but very close to Sparta and Independence, VA if you want to go out for a bite to eat or shop.
