Vacation rentals with lake access in New River Valley

We had a lovely experience in our little cottage. Everything was neat and clean. Right after we arrived, a deer walked by. There is a very nice park at the end of the street. Our dogs loved walking and sniffing everywhere. The view of the lake and mountains is peaceful. People fished and picnicked . There is a pier. I saw people boating, and riding on wave runners. Draper Mercantile is nearby. The menu is tasty and there is a variety of coffees, beer and wine available. Right there is an ice cream shop called Conerys. A bike trail is right there by Draper’s.

Beautiful little home right on the river - perfect for a quick weekend getaway. This was one of the cleanest houses I’ve ever stayed in, something I appreciate greatly. Would definitely recommend to any couples or solo vacationers.

Our family stay included 7 people. This spacious 2 story house easily accommodated 4 couples comfortably. The kitchen lacked nothing! There were 2 full size refrigerators and 2 washer/dryers. The game room had 2 pool tables, 2 air hockey tables. ping pong, cornhole plus more! There were 2 video arcade machines with multiple games on them. I haven't played Pacman for years - no quarters needed. I highly recommend this place. One thing to be aware of is the walk down to the firepit includes a steep hill which can be avoided by driving down the boat ramp to get there. There was plenty of seating on the basement level and first floor decks. We didn't have kids - but if so they could have been easily entertained with all the games.

Stayed May 26-June 1. Perfect cabin for 4 people. We drove our RAM truck hauling 2 Harley bikes. The yard is big enough to accommodate. The driveway is gravel but it wasn’t too uphill. We encountered few problems and Ms. Jill answered all our questions and helped with the situation. She’s a phenomenal host! She’s very responsive, and accommodating to our issues. Complete amenities. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. We did brought our own ( we always do). We cooked breakfast for three days and cooked some steaks on the griddle outside on our 2nd night. Washed our clothes, laundry supplies provided. Great WiFi connection. We rode our bikes to the mountains. If you love to ride, you won’t regret staying here! 5 star review. Definitely recommended!

the house is in a great location and the private beach and dock were amazing! the house has rustic charm and all the amenities you could need. Henry was a great host - quick go communicate and provided lots of clear details about our stay as well as helpful information about things to do in the area! this vacation was a perfect mix of acitivity and relaxation. we would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at the lake house. There was a private dock located very close and a swim area just a couple minutes down the road. The house had beautiful views and was well stocked with everything we needed for the week!

We had such a wonderful time! The home was clean and beautiful, plenty to do there at the home and in the surrounding areas. Even with the many homes on the street, it felt private and relaxing the entire weekend. The host, Joe, was also so friendly! He gave us a tour when we got there, was extremely helpful, and he even helped us start our fire in the fire pit when he saw we were struggling. Wonderful place, great hospitality, would absolutely book this place again! Thank you Joe!

Charming and secluded cabin with beautiful views! Was comfortable and cozy. Lindsay was so helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed our weekend stay!

We had a fun time at Chris’ lake house. It was very clean, quiet, and had all the amenities as described. Hot tub (with its private surround) was enjoyable during the winter temps. Ample kitchen supplies since there aren’t any restaurants around. Make sure to get groceries beforehand!

Absolutely beautiful location! Perfect home for our nephews college graduation. We spent most of the days outside on the deck overlooking the peaceful lake. The entire home was comfortable and welcoming. We especially liked the record player in the living room. Would love to visit this home in the fall to see the foliage. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us on our special weekend.

Had a wonderful stay at Lindsay’s place! The lake views are unbeatable. Great location to the New River Trail and we were able to bike a few miles. The Draper Mercantile has delicious food and lots of little gifts to shop. It was just the relaxing get away I needed.

A great host with a place to get away and relax. It's close enough to various sites, and it's low-key and relaxing. I enjoyed the fire pit and watching deer run across the fields.

A long weekend at this vacation spot was just what my son, granddaughter, and I needed. The house was clean, inviting, and well organized. We relaxed on the porch and listened to the river. For a couple of days the river was swift and cloudy, but once it cleared and we could see the bottom, we took our floats and waded right in, oooh chilly! And afterward we managed those flights of steps back up ( ages 8-73). Driving up from NC we stopped in Mt Airy for some photo ops. Other side trips were Mabry Mill, Nancy's Candies, and the Friday Night Jamboree and street music in Floyd. What a treat! As we left the area we toured Mountain Music Museum near Galax and enjoyed the Noon time Music in the Breezeway. Our favorite eats were the home cooked veggies and meals at Crooked Oak Restaurant. If you would like to sit beside the river or the fire pit you might want to bring along a couple of lightweight folding chairs. Can't think of anything else you'll need.
