You don't have to see anyone and from that old TV ad, we will leave the light on for you! Kent's Cabin is close to The New River Trail State Park. We are a mile away from the Shot Tower Entrance and the Foster Falls entrance is about 4 miles away. Many of our guests come specifically to walk or ride on the New River Trail. It's a unique 57-mile linear park that follows an abandoned railroad bed. The park parallels the scenic and historic New River for 39 miles and passes through four counties and the city of Galax. The Trail's gentle slope makes it great for visitors of all ages to hike, bike and ride horseback. The Park's Foster Falls facility offers a variety of seasonal services which include guided horseback trips, canoe and bike rentals; boat launches and a gift shop.. Please check the Park's website: https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/new-river-trail or call 276-699-6778 for up-to-date information about the trail.

The Cabin is the perfect place to celebrate a Special Occasion such as your Birthday, an Anniversary or Honeymoon or just to have a quiet weekend away from the Kids. Relax and forget all your worries and experience a slower, carefree Lifestyle in our Historic Cabin! Plus you don't have to leave your Pets at home. We welcome your well-behaved Fur Babies. We provide sheets on the shelf in the laundry room to cover the living room furniture.
History buffs will love this property built of rare CHESTNUT logs. It’s difficult to pinpoint when the house was actually built, but a historical society who toured the house determined that it was constructed around 1850. This makes it one of the oldest, existing structures in Wythe County. If only these walls could talk. It would be amazing what they would say.
While many of the historic features have been preserved, we've updated and equipped the Cabin with everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. Year-around comfort for cozy warmth and cool air for hot summer days is insured by MINI SPLIT WITH INDIVIDUALLY CONTROLLED TEMPERATURES IN EACH ROOM Conveniently controlled with a touch of remote conveniently located on the wall. Imagine sitting on the comfy sofa or recliner and enjoying a glass of wine. We even include a complimentary bottle of wine from one of our locals: Chateau Morissette in nearby Floyd County
The modern Kitchen has a full-size glass-top electric range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave and toaster. Of course, there are dishes, glassware, pots and pans and lots of utensils are included so that you can serve dinner in the eat-in kitchen. It has a roomy table with hidden leaf. There is also a Keurig coffee maker with few coffee pods supplied Also included are basic seasonings, coffee creamer, sugar and sweetener. There is also an LG stackable washer/dryer with detergent pods included. There's a half bath just off the kitchen. The deck overlooks Shorts Creek which flows into the New River. Think "Babbling Brook" sounds. Also there's a BLACKSTONE GRIDDLE GRILL for cooking your own delicious prime rib steak or your own New River “catch–of-the-day.”
Exposed chestnut logs grace the second floor bedroom which has a large walk-in closet and a full bath with a tub/shower. Generous-sized towels included. There’s a comfortable Pillow-topped queen bed with luxury linens. Maybe you'll be lucky to have an overnight rain shower while you're there. Imagine being lulled to sleep by rain on our metal roof. It's truly a magical experience!
