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.

The cabin had everything you need and the back porch and the sound of Chestnut Creek trickling in the background will give you most inviting vibes! There isn't a full kitchen, but if you're a creative cook, you can make a delicious meal! Bring your bike and trail shoes, peer out the windows and embrace the deer quietly roaming the grounds. The rain on the tin roof will lull you to sleep....zzzzz

We stayed at the Enchanted Cottage Friday 10/8/21 to Monday 10/11/21. The cottage itself has…read moretremendous charm. The decor is quite interesting, showing a lot of thought. I really enjoyed studying the paintings, hangings, and decor on higher areas. Horizontal surface area within reach was at a premium, as we had to move some of the decor to make room for our stuff: books, laptops, phones, etc. If you're visiting during colder months and love tending a real fire in the fireplace, be sure to contact the host ahead of time to ensure firewood, etc. is ready and waiting on arrival. The garden is beautiful and the couch on the porch is really comfy. I'd suggest bringing your own throw blankets if you like to curl up in front of the fireplace on the couch. The ones we brought were washable and soft, much more practical than the one decorating the couch. We like to know what we're wrapped in is freshly washed. There are no window coverings! The cottage is truly isolated and the only visitor we saw was a deer walking by the windows. I walked outside while my wife showered at night and found anyone can see in through the steamed up windows. But then again, you're surrounded by forest. The kitchen is small and cute. We brought stuff to warm up in the microwave so it was fine. The fridge was big enough to hold the food we brought for 3-4 days. Cooking a big meal would be a challenge. The WiFi is useless for anything but email. I measured the upload and download speeds by accessing a speed measuring website. The download speed was 200x slower and the upload speed was 800x slower than what I have at home. And I don't have the highest speed offered in my area at home. Dugspur is truly rural. You feel like you are deep in the heart of farms and ranches. In October it was very picturesque. On Sunday we went to IC DeHart Memorial Park to walk some of their trails. It was a 45 minute drive, but well worth it. It was the second week of October and most of the trail was covered with beautiful fall leaves. We took the yellow trail and walked the 3 miles in just under an hour. You want drive past the tennis courts to park by the picnic area, which has toilets with running water. They were out of toilet paper so come prepared. The trail meanders through beautiful woods, and ends back at the DeHart family graveyard. The tombstones tell their own history through several family generations. We talked to a local woman who takes her dog on walks there frequently. She said that the hot summer months are a completely different experience. In August her dog got stung by many hornets while walking the trails so her dog is no longer willing to walk those trails. Hiking in cool October was a great experience with no pests, so plan accordingly. On our way back we enjoyed some ice cream at the town of Floyd's general store. There was an outdoor concert of Latin music for anyone that wanted to sit and listen. It wasn't crowded and several families brought picnics. Instead of heading straight home to Northern VA on Monday, we made a slight detour to walk the High Bridge trail in Farmville, by the Appomattox River. There's a parking lot with restrooms one mile from the bridge. There's no need to go to the state park to park. If you don't want to walk, you can rent bikes in town. Lots of families were doing that. The historical markers explained the bridge's role at the end of the Civil War when Lee surrendered to Grant. The bridge is impressive. Looking down from the bridge was a bit unnerving for me as I don't enjoy heights. We walked the trail down to the river, under the bridge, and then back up the other side. It was a beautiful hike and seeing the old original bridge supports made me appreciate how much amazing engineering was done back in the 1800's. Because of the detour we took to Farmville, we were on back country roads all the way to Culpeper before we hit the divided highway there to take us the rest of the way back to NoVa. It was a beautiful drive on well-maintained two-lane roads and we made good time.

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.

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