However, the folks running this place absolutely deserve a five star review (and I'm going to book our next stay well in advance!). We stayed in the pet-friendly cabin #5 which had two bedrooms, a full bath, full kitchen, indoor jacuzzi tub, fireplace, powerful heating unit, and a beautiful front porch with a swing overlooking a pasture and mountains. We drank our coffee here as we watched the sunrise each morning. The cabin interior had every amenity you could need- pots, plates, utensils, coffee maker, paper goods, fresh towels. The decor inside the cabin was so cute and cozy. The other cabins are spaced well apart for privacy and there is a common picnic area up on the hill with a large grill, fire pit, tables and chairs; the sunset views up here are beautiful. I mostly spoke with Sonya who was so kind and also cleaned the cabin before our arrival. Everything was sparkling clean and the fireplace was lit for our arrival. We couldn't be more pleased with our stay and we didn't want to leave. We can't wait to return with friends and family. During our stay, we hiked several spots along the parkway, but our favorite hike was over in Buffalo Mountain preserve (30 min from the cabin) for the most beautiful 360 degree view at the peak (be advised it was pretty strenuous and muddy with all the recent rain). And we also highly recommend Buffalo Mountain Brewing/McDaniels Tavern for a beer and a bite to eat after your hike.

Perfect Getaway My…read morewife and I love staying at the New River Trail Cabins. The cabins are just a short walk or ride into downtown Galax. You would think that you were miles out of town by the scenery. We visit several times a year and have done so for several years now. We have never been disappointed with our stay here. The New River Trail is located at the end of the cabins so there is no need to drive and park for access to the bike trail. The cabins are very clean. The staff are also very nice. Mary is such a sweetheart. Always ready to help. Chuck and Wanda, the cleaning crew, are also very nice folks and do an excellent job on the cabins. If you are looking for a nice, peaceful weekend getaway, this is the place. Galax has a real jewel and it's the New River Trail Cabins.

Overall, a terrific getaway. We spent a week enjoying the charms of the cabin and the area. Here…read moreare a few things we learned from our visit. First, the pictures available online don't do justice to the beauty of the location. The cabin sits just above a burbling stream. It lies at the end of a mile-long gravel road with plenty of up-and-down, blind corners, and two gates. This feels like a truly secluded spot. It is visible from the road, which is just on the other side and above the stream. But, as we experienced in late July, the dense foliage obscures the cabin. The cabin itself is both well-equipped and rustic. The kitchen has most utensils and cooking equipment, including a rice cooker, electric skillet, toaster oven, microwave, etc. everything was older but clean and functional. There is a single full bathroom with shower and a half bath upstairs. A washer-dryer set is very helpful. Internet access is a plus because cell service is spotty or nonexistent. For fellow jigsaw puzzlers, the kitchen table is perfect for a 1000 or 1,500 piece challenge. The deck is absolutely lovely. Given the location, the sun didn't hit the cabin until mid-morning, and never fell under the roofed portion of the deck. We were able to sit outside from early morning to evening in relative comfort. We brought citronella candles, which kept the bugs away - but those weren't bad at all. The owners ask that you removed the trash and clean up upon leaving - a usual request. They also ask for guests to wash and dry the sheets and sweep/mop upon leaving - a less common ask. The bedding was adequate. Older pillows and a firm, creaky master bed could be updated. This is not a touristy area. Those lie north and east of here. We brought all of our own food. If you plan to eat out, or shop out regularly, you will need to drive some distance/time. Within an hour's drive - and you will need to travel to take in the area and get supplies - are several wonderful spots. Be sure to hike Stone Mountain State Park. What a beautiful, well-maintained park! Bring your bikes and complete the 20-mile round trip rail-trail between Todd and Freeport. Gorgeous, easy ride along the New Fork River. Get baked goods at the Todd Mercantile store. Boone has some shopping and organic groceries, but is a solid two-hour round trip. Looking for adventure. Drive north on the main road, take the gravel road (left) at the fork, and follow the mountain road about 5 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway. One of us enjoyed that very much; the other less so given the hairpin turns and steep drops. We definitely recommend Blue River Cabin.

From the moment we opened the first entry gate, we felt like a wonderful adventure was about to begin. The cabin is spacious, spotlessly clean, and supplied with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing, totally peaceful getaway.

We will definitely return, and several of our friends are already wanting to book a stay also!

The first was to…read morecelebrate my birthday last year, and the second trip was for our 9th wedding anniversary this week. Both experiences were absolutely beautiful and peaceful. There isn't a wine on the menu that we disliked, and we especially love the Traminette and the Oh Le Deaux (trust me, get this deep fragrant red dessert wine). The food was good, and the owner is really nice and has wonderful stories about his travels. Overall, we have discussed making this a yearly or at least every other year trip for us because of the serene riverside property and the amazing wines. The property by itself is 5 stars, and the wine makes it even more of a fun romantic getaway.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon in September with friends. It wasn't very busy, and we were seated…read moreright away on the outdoor patio overlooking the river. The location is beautiful--tucked beside the Roaring River in a small valley, with a peaceful and scenic setting. Menus were provided when we sat down, along with an offer for drinks. Although this is a winery, they also serve beer and other beverages. Our server gave us a wine menu but directed us to scan a QR code for the other drink options. Since there's no cell reception, we had to connect to the winery's Wi-Fi first, which felt a little awkward. After all that, the beer menu was quite limited--something that could have been more easily explained up front. The food menu was also limited, which we expected at a winery. None of us ordered wine, but two of us had beers, and we shared the soft pretzel bites with beer cheese dip and a charcuterie board. Both appetizers were presented beautifully and tasted great--we really enjoyed sampling them. After our food and drinks, we walked the grounds. The property is stunning, with accommodations for overnight stays, a pavilion for events, and multiple access points to the river. Overall, this was a wonderful place to relax and catch up with friends. The highlights were the scenery and the food, while the downsides were the limited menu options and service that felt less helpful than expected.
