Riverside Cabin on the New River; Pets Welcome; All fees included

Escape to our charming 1-bedroom cabin nestled in the heart of Draper along the New River. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a cozy and well-appointed space that's perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Unwind in the inviting whirl pool tub for two, connect with loved ones using the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of the in-unit washer and dryer. When it's time to wind down, settle in for a movie night on the smart TV or dive into the selection of books and games.

Venture out to explore the nearby Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre, just a 25-minute drive away, or spend a day at the serene Claytor Lake, only 26 minutes from your doorstep. Back at the cabin, fire up the grill and savor a delicious meal prepared in the fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and all the essentials.

As the sun sets, step outside and gather around the fire pit, taking in the stunning water views from the comfort of the porch. With parking, air conditioning, and a travel crib available, this cabin has everything you need for a truly memorable vacation.

This cabin is located on a "still" portion of the New River well above Claytor Lake in Virginia. The property had kayaks, outdoor charcoal grilling and is just across the river from miles of the New River biking trail. The cabin is well maintained, built with quality and full of amenities. During our short stay we saw deer grazing, eagles soaring over the river hoping for a catch and a muskie working the river's edge feeding on small fish in the early morning. Much of "the New" was hard hit with Helena in 2024 but this property shows no impact one year later.

Great place to run

My wife and I were celebrating 31 years of marriage. The cabin was very nice and very thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you might need. We brought our Labrador with us. There was lots of space for him to run. The view was outstanding. It was very private and relaxing. We had a great time and we would definitely recommend the cabin to friends Joe & Laure

All we hoped for - and more!

The property is hilly, quiet and peaceful, an ideal setting for a relaxing getaway. The cabin itself exceeded our expectations. The interior of the cabin is beautifully decorated and the bed and furniture are very comfortable.The cabin is stocked with everything you might need - from kitchen items to books and games. The covered porches were a great place to relax and unwind, and our dog loved the property too!

2nd visit to Fireflies, both times to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Dog walks on the New River Trail and visited a couple nearby vineyards. This made for a relaxing weekend. Like last year, the deer are entertaining to watch and they nearly come onto the back porch.

Beatiful paradise in Heaven

I can express with words how fortunate we are to come and stay at Fireflies. This was our third time and we had a great time. Spend Christmas and New Years here. We enjoy our morning walks, fishing experience, and riding out our mini ATV. Kathie and Bill are just amazing host we look forward to come back perhaps in the summer time. Thank you for chocolate, muffins and of course of eggs they were delicious.

Wonderful Getaway!

Super relaxing and plum filled with serenity! An amazing property with a quiet comforts you only dream of! Extremely well stocked and owners were easily accessible, as I had a couple random questions. Newly built cabin...this place is a gem! Loved the New River as our closest neighbor. Patrick was great. Super unassuming and flexible, he responded well to our dog Coco and followed her lead smoothly. He's a sweetheart and is great with people and other dogs. Beautiful view...deer in view.... everything was fantastic!

Lovely cabin and hosts

The cabin is cozy, well-stocked, and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the couch reclined. The location by the river is beautiful, quiet, and has easy access to the New River Trail. We cycled during the day and relaxed in the evenings including a movie night and sitting by the fire pit (remarkably comfortable outdoor chairs too). The hosts had pumpkin muffins and fresh eggs waiting for us and immediately brought firewood when we asked. Wifi is very good. We streamed movies and music without any trouble. We also had it for calls (no cell signal in the area).

Awesome place to just get away to . . . only negative is the steep hill to climb and that the dock didn't have a ladder. Other than that nothing but praise for cleanliness and location. Owners were super . . . would recommend to my family and friends.

The property was excellent. It meet every one of our expectations. In the morning the sounds of the birds woke us up, and at night the fireflies said good night.
