This spacious rustic log cabin is tucked away off the main road. You drive down scenic roads while enjoying lots of deer, geese, turkeys and an occasional bear. The cabin sits on a five acre tract, that is located across from the New River State Park. The large open area in the backyard is manicured all the way down to the river. There is easy access to the river with a sandy beach area. The scenic river can be enjoyed from the spacious covered deck. Let the river lull you to sleep or help you find a sense of zen. The cabin has five bedrooms, three baths and two dens with three levels to spread out. The cabin sleeps twelve with nine beds. The cabin is cozy and feels like being at Grandma's house. The cabin is close enough to enjoy the new river bike trails, hiking, Shot Tower State Park, Draper Mercantile and Trading Company, Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre, The Boiling Wilson Hotel, Claytor Lake, Fort Chiswell Animal Park, Big Walker Lookout, and Dixie Caverns. Come stay in the quiet while enjoying the wildlife and the peacefulness and sounds of the river or explore local attractions.
What a beautiful home in a beautiful location. The drive is a bit rough as the roads are not paved and it is very dark if you are arriving after sunset, but I've been to many cabins in the mountains and I can say it is definitely worth it! Teaming with wildlife, deer, geese, hawks and a river full of fish. We had three familes together to celebrate my niece's wedding. Definitely check this cabin out!! Saving Grace will not dissappoint!
Family, friends and kids all had a great time playing in the calm river beach area, tubing the mini rapids, playing kickball in the HUGE yard, catching fireflies, cooking smores, grilling out and many more wonderful memories! The owners were very attentive and helpful!
This was the Hub for our family gathering. I wanted my 85 year old mom to be able to have all of her children, grandchildren and great granchildren in one place without someone having to drive 13+ hours and this was the middle meeting point area for most. Some coming from PA, OH and AL. It was perfect. Beautiful house and grounds. The river was great for tubing and the temperature of the water was perfect at this time of year.. would definitely go back. They only thing I noticed was it stated that there is a hot tub. There was not.
There was a Jacuzzi bathtub. Was not a deal breaker at all but it should be changed on the listing. Just be aware that if you need anything from the grocery store, etc
It will not be a quick trip. It takes a little bit to get there and get back. It's the perfect place to unwind and get away from it all

House is great. Very clean. Only minor issue was a missing queen fitted sheet for basement bedroom. It was late when I noticed, made do with a couple twin flat sheets, and worked well enough that it wasn't worth the time of calling it in the next day.
Our group of six senior ladies enjoyed Saving Grace! After thrifting all day, we returned to the cabin for rest. The cabin and grounds were clean and accommodating. The cabin is decorated with treasures of the past. (That basketball hoop was the coolest!) There was plenty of room for each to have our own comfy bed and rocking chair on the porch. What a spectacular view! Wildlife was abundant but not pesky. We dipped our toes in the clean river as people floated by. You won't hear the sound of that river in the city! Makes for the perfect nap. We plan to return each year for the annual Hillsville Flea Market event. Thrifting at this event and staying at Saving Grace was a first but definitely not a last!
Our group had a great time staying here! We were a group of 7, the house was cozy and we enjoyed the back porch both rain and shine. The kitchen was well furnished and we liked using the fire pit at night. Would recommend for families too!
This was a great place for us to stay for a couple of nights. There were plenty of bedrooms for 5 people. If we had brought more, there would have still been space, but rooms would have needed to be shared. The house was well equipped with most things that we needed to grill and cook with. We did have to get some more lighter fluid to get the charcoal grill going. I would certainly recommend this place. However, do make sure that you have a vehicle that can handle a few miles of dirt/gravel roads and can get up/down a fairly steep hill at the cabin.
Every member of our party was happy/ pleased with the accommodations offered by the cabin. Quiet surroundings. The cabin was clean, comfortable and offered two different rooms for gathering to relax. Porches with rockers, picnic table, fire pit and grill made enjoying the serenity of the location easy.
The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cooking utensils and plates.
Access to the cabin required several miles travel on narrow roads of loose stones, twisting through woods and pastures. The driveway to the cabin is steep and comprised of loose fine gravel. Traction requires 4-wheel drive. Not well suited for motorcycles.
Home was as described and comfortable. River access is great. I would recommend bringing or buying tubes for floating in the river while you are there.
Our favorite thing about this property was the awesome river access. The kids had the best time playing in the river and the huge yard. The house had plenty of space for two families with children. The owner was always quick to respond to any questions we had. I would recommend having a few more utensils in the kitchen and more towels/wash cloths for guests but overall this is a great place to escape reality and just chill. We truly enjoyed our quiet, secluded long weekend on the river.
This house is situated in a gorgeous riverfront setting with a large deck that wraps around 2 sides of the house. Having 5 bedrooms and 3 baths was perfect for our large group coming for the VT Graduation.
**please note - this rental doesnât include sheets or towels so come prepared. The listing did not state this (VRBOs fault, not the owner) so we had a last minute scramble but the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating and got us squared away.
The property is also close to the New River State Park - we could have spent multiple days there - playgrounds, fishing spots, hiking, and an awesome park store
Marty, the owner of this home, is extremely responsive and is such a wonderful host! We are thankful to have found this wonderful place to stay!
