About this cabin rental

Keep reading for details about the close by NEW RIVER TRAIL STATE PARK.
Experience a simpler time in one of Wythe County’s oldest standing structures. Built circa 1850 from rare, hand-hewn American Chestnut logs, this lovingly preserved historic cabin blends old-world romance with modern luxury.
We have just completed an extensive, top-to-bottom spring cleaning, and the cabin is completely refreshed and sparkling for your summer getaway! Updates include brand-new, comfortable living room furniture, featuring a cozy loveseat and a plush, oversized recliner perfect for sinking into after a day of adventure.
Nestled right off Rt. 52 and I-77 with effortless, flat access (no winding, tricky mountain roads!), your worry-free mountain escape begins the moment you arrive with easy self-check-in. And just like that old TV ad promised, we’ll leave the light on for you.
Inside the Refreshed Cabin
• The Living Room: Unwind in our brand-new, premium furniture. Put your feet up in the plush, oversized recliner or curl up on the cozy new loveseat by the warm glow of the remote-controlled gas logs in the original stone fireplace. Features a 43” HD flat-screen TV with DirecTV and complimentary Wi-Fi.
• The Modern Kitchen: Fully equipped with a full-size electric range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, dishes, glassware, cookware and a large eat-in table. We provide coffee supplies for your first morning, basic seasonings, sugar, and creamer.
• The Bedroom Suite (Upstairs): A romantic oasis featuring exposed chestnut logs, a pillow-topped queen bed dressed in luxury linens, a large walk-in closet, and a 43" HD flat-screen TV. Fall asleep to the magical sound of a summer rain shower on the classic metal roof.
• Accessibility & Pet Note:
Our cozy second-floor bedroom is accessed by a stairway with dual handrails for your convenience. Because this cabin originally used a ladder to reach the loft, the current staircase is steeper than modern stairs. Please keep this unique feature in mind when booking in case you or your furry friend require a little easier access.

• Bathrooms & Laundry: A convenient half-bath is located just off the kitchen, an upstairs full bathroom features a tub/shower combo with plush towels, and a main-floor LG washer/dryer is fully stocked with detergent pods.
• Summer Comfort: A brand-new mini-split system provides individually controlled air conditioning (and heating) in every room, keeping you perfectly cool on warm summer days.
Outdoor Living & Amenities
• The Deck: Step outside into the warm summer air to listen to the gentle, soothing sounds of Shorts Creek flowing just below the cabin.
• Grilling: Cook up your favorite steaks, burgers, or the day's fresh catch on our Blackstone griddle grill.
• A Special Welcome: Enjoy a complimentary bottle of local wine from the renowned Chateau Morrissette Winery in nearby Floyd County.
• Pets Welcome! Your furry family members are part of the vacation. We even provide extra sheets in the laundry room so your well-behaved pets can curl up comfortably without furniture worries.

Prime Location & Summer Outdoor Adventure
Kent's Cabin puts the absolute best of the New River Trail State Park right at your doorstep:
• 1 MILE TO THE HISTORIC SHOT TOWN ENTRANCE.
• 4 MILES TO THE FOSTER FALLS ENTRANCE (offering guided horseback trips, canoe/kayak/bike rentals, boat launches, and a gift shop—perfect for summer fun on the water!).

Great location for access to the New River State Park Trail. It was a unique experience to stay in a cabin built with hand hewn timber from chestnut trees.

Always a cozy stay, regardless of the time of year. Easy access to the New River park, Wytheville, and just away enough from everyone else (without being inaccessible) this is a place I've been to several times in the last year and keep coming back when I need to get away somewhere quiet.

I used to visit this area as a child often, as my family lives nearby. I always loved this little log cabin setting on the corner of the road and a creek. Not far from the shot tower, which is a great park, and the New River Trail. To see it on this site for temporary rent was great. I booked it for a pre-holiday stay and it will now be my go-to place. It was so warm and cozy when the temperatures are quite cold outside, and the fact that there’s a full bathroom on the second floor with the bedroom is wonderful. Yes the steps are steep to get to the bedroom, but they’re very doable and you don’t have to come down again till the next morning. It’s a little bit like house on the Prairie, but your little house in the mountains. And the owners are so communicative and lovely. Highly recommend.

The cabin is cozy and charming. However, it needs a deep cleaning the windows are very dirty and the stink bugs are abundant. Unfortunately the road noise was very disturbing and one night a tractor trailer parked at the turn off across from the cabin and idled all night.
