We couldn’t have been happier with this property. It had everything we wanted and more. The owners were a pleasure to speak with and responded every time I wrote them. We got to meet them and they were those special people that don’t come along everyday. If fishing is what you’re after it would be tough to find a better place. There are plenty of places along the river to launch and float back to the cabin. The bonfires in the evening were magical along side the river. There’s plenty of blankets, towels and a well stocked kitchen. There’s plenty of room to park and cooking on the blackstone outdoors made breakfast a real treat. There’s no doubt we’ll be back next year for another amazing vacation. A special Thank you to Mike and Teresa for allowing us to stay at such a beautiful place. See you next year. Ken

This was an amazing cottage. My boys, our pups, and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was stocked with everything we needed for both fun and relaxation. We loved the bench swings, hammock, and the reading barn for relaxation, and there were plenty of kayaks and canoes to choose from for fun. The host was very helpful and available when/if needed. There was some bad weather on our first night, and he even called to check on us the next morning. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time! We loved our stay at this he in Covington, Va.The home is right on the river. Access was easy. Super peaceful. While we had neighbors, it was very private and a very large and secluded large lot. The home was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed!We loved the location. We kayaked on the Jackson River and the James river. We fell in love with Lake MooMaw. The lake was simply stunning. Places to swim and hike. We regretted not kayaking there. We also went to the dam. The home was easy to get to Roanoke and Staunton. And other small towns. We loved the shopping and unique gifts and restaurants. We enjoyed Falling Springs Waterfall and the Humpback Covered Bridge where we had a picnic. We went to a charity event at the Rockbridge Vineyard and Brewery - and had an amazing time! Everywhere we went was very pet friendly! In the evening, we played games, relaxed in the screened in porch listening to the river, and watched movies.Our host was very attentive and could tell they cared about our stay.We definitely recommend this property!
