Girls Weekend Getaway

We loved this spot. The view was amazing and close to antique shops and the Hillsville Labor Day weekend flea market. The cabin was clean, spacious, well mantained, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the back porch which overlooked the New River.

Nice place, great owners, superb location

We loved the house. It's a really nice property, long yard going back to the New River. The New River Trail access is just a few hundred yards up the gravel road. The owners were very friendly, answering my questions and being very helpful. Thanks, we'd love to stay again.

Great Location for New River Trail Ride

Nice, peaceful setting on New River. Front of cabin faces New River Trail and back overlooks New River. Good location for cycling New River Trail. One direction leads to Draper (must eat at Mercantile) and the other to Fries and Galax. Plenty of cycling, walking, horseback or fishing options. Hope to return in future.

Fabulous, Perfect Location

This cabin met all the requirements we needed for a weekend of cycling the trail. Central location on the trail, allowed us to go north and south without having to have a car shuttle. the lawn was beautifully mown and the river was running high, made for a serene setting on the porch where we enjoyed 3 of our 5 meals.

LOVE. THIS. PLACE!

Charming, spacious and peaceful. It was the perfect vacation for us. Loved spending every morning doing devotions on the deck overlooking the New River with a hot cup of coffee. Good restaurants, shopping and attractions close by, yet we were out in the country. During our stay, other vacationers began arriving with their horses for New River Trail riding and we got to "visit" with some of the horses. It was just wonderful. We didn't want to come home. Hoping to stay again soon!

Ivanhoe home

The home was lovely. The setting was beyond anything I could have hoped for. It was right on the river. The area was really quiet. It was right near the New River Bike Trail. It was so peaceful. The house was lovely. Very clean, larger than expected. It had everything I would need. Checkin and check out was easy. The homeowner was so nice. This home is perfect.

Great stay

Great stay! Close to New River Trail (Ivanhoe entrance), stocked kitchen, pingpong table, cornhole in basement, firepit bring your own lighter fluid, and gas grill needs work. Owner has lots of board games but we brought our own to play indoors when we got bored. River is not wide and deep enough for fishing but it's cold anyway this time of the year. I prefer a cabin with a dock but hubby wants to come back to Shady River cabin in the summer. Fees are very reasonable and the owner's communication is great! Such a shame that the neighbor on the right got an ugly wide shed or barn partially blocking the best view of river and mountain. Overall. great.

Amazing House!

This was our first time to stay at Shady River Cabins and we will definitely be back! The house was extremely clean and was well stocked. There were board games in the living room, ping pong in the basement, and corn hole. The grounds around the house were extremely well kept and tidy. The home was within view and easy walking distance of the New River. It was also within easy walking distance to the Ivanhoe Trail Head on the New River Trail. My family had a great time enjoying both the house and the river and trail. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Truly tranquil

Linda was a great communicator. She answered all my questions in a very timely manner. The large property is beautiful! Direct access to NEW RIVER is a huge bonus. It is situated in a charming and very quiet neighborhood. Just as described! There are two comfortable bedrooms with lots of storage. A bathroom with a space heater. A big great room with dining, living and kitchen areas. Including the basement, there are two refrigerators, two stove/ovens, ping pong table, plenty of seating, lots of counter space, storage, two bathrooms, washer & dryer, and many other thoughtful touches. Great location. I would gladly stay again!!!

Off the grid

The cabin was perfect for our family. Friendly owners, amazing river views & very easy access to both the river and trail. The house had lots of games, (including corn hole), comfortable beds, recliner seating in the sofa, lots of chanels on the tv and everything you could need for grilling or cooking in the kitchen. Love the open floorplan and the wrap-around porch. The small horse stables and campground next door added to the charm. The only negative was that we have Verizon phones and did not have cellular service, we also had issues connecting to wifi on our phones. There is a landline available. Highly recommend this cabin if your looking to relax and get away, fish, bike, hike or kayak.

Cabin in New River

My dad and I came down to ride the New River Trail. We loved the cabin! It was very clean. Even though there are neighbors nearby, it was always so quiet. There is a bench by the river that you can sit and watch for wildlife at the river. Also, there is a staircase that goes right down to the river. I saw an owl 2 nights in a row. It flew right past me as I was walking down to the river. I also saw some deer at the river and a heron flew right past me down at the river. It is easiest to access the trail by going back down the gravel road and under the bridge to the Ivanhoe access point. It was kind of steep and brushy to try to take our bikes up to the trail where it is right behind the cabin. This was a great place to stay
