Looking for beauty and seclusion? You found it!

This cabin is exactly as described. Beautiful river view in a very secluded setting. If you are a fisherman or just want to get away from it all, this place is for you. I am a stickler for cleanliness and the cabin met my expectations. For your visit, be sure to get food supplies before arriving, as it is about 20-25 min into Galax. But you will find a well equipped kitchen and nice grilling/campfire area next to the river.

Just what we wanted

This gem was perfect! It was the only house on that road at the end. Close enough to water to appreciate it and also far enough it wasn’t loud at all(some riverside cabins are really noisy). Property was in great shape and very clean. Everything was as it was described or better. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful River Cabin

New River Haven is exactly as advertised - a beautiful and extremely well appointed cabin perfect for getting away from it all. Our goal was relaxation and space away from others and we got just that! A few things worth noting: the WiFi is Starlink and was not working when we first arrived, though the network appeared available. We determined that the satellite unit had likely been tucked under the deck during lawn maintenance. Once set back out in the yard, it worked like a dream! The cabin is remote. While this is what we were after, it’s important to note that while you are not far from “civilization”, it’s going to take you 15 mins or so to get out of the woods to begin your journey. In terms of things to do (parks and restaurants, etc) there are plenty of options, but the trip will be a minimum of 35-45 mins. Water and common area access might test your level of fitness. It’s beautiful and perfect for fishing, but getting to the water can be tricky between damp grass and ground stability. There are no steps, so you need to be nimble to get down and flexible to climb back up. The trip to and from the common area involves a hill with serious grade. Care must be taken in navigating both directions, but the incline is constant and steep! Aside from a suggestion to add stairs from the cabin level to the lower road and from the road to the common area, the only thing this was missing from perfection was a hot tub. Just a beautiful spot, overall, and quite luxurious!

Girls trip with a view

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice little hikes and enjoyed the views by the river. Quaint space. I had no cell service at all. Every now and then a text message would go through. Luckily several people did so I could contact hubby while we were gone.

The cabin has a wonderful feel about it and is very comfortable. The layout is great with the large riverside porch being the best part. The manager was very responsive to any questions or concerns.
