Photos and Description of the Claytor Lake vacation cabin rental
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, built for 2 but can sleep 4

If you are looking for a place to relax while surrounded with the sights and sounds of nature, stay in Fireflies. The cabin is located along the New River waterfront across from the 57-mile New River Trail State Park. The cabin rests 200 feet from the water not far from a bend in the river. You can watch the sun come up over the mountain and the mist rise above the river while sitting on one of Fireflies’ two porches.The New River is 350 million years old and retains the pristine beauty of an unspoiled waterway. Enjoy canoeing, tubing, kayaking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, or fishing. If you would like dining and entertainment options, Fireflies sits midway between Wytheville and Christainsburg with both cities just 35 minutes away. Located within 45 minutes of 3 wineries.

Why the Owner Chose Barren Springs: : We are originally from New Jersey. While vacationing in the New River Valley in 2004 we fell in love with the area. We purchased property on the river in 2005. As this was our second home we rented it as a vacation rental for 3 years before our retirement. In 2009 we moved into our home and began to build a small cabin on the property close to the river. The cabin, which we call Fireflies, is now ready to be enjoyed by vacationers looking for a place to relax.

The Unique Benefits of this Cabin: : Year Purchased: 2010 - The cabin sits just above the riverbank and has large windows and two porches that have been designed to enable you to enjoy the abundance of nature. It is common place to see the deer in the early morning and again in the evening. Water birds of many varieties fly up and down the river each day and it is not unusual to see a bald eagle.

Owner Description/Comments:: This property is owned by Bill and Kathie Conaway both of whom are retired. Bill and his father spent the last year building the cabin. See more about this cabin at riverviewhaven.com.

Gorgeous Accomodations!

Submitted: May 20, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Thank you so much for the gorgeous accommodations! We had a lovely stay here during our daughter's graduation and only regret that we never found this little piece of heaven before! The word "cabin" is truly unfair to your beautiful little home! We will definitely be back! PS. the pumpkin muffins were awesome!

An Amazing View

Submitted: April 15, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Fireflies is adorable and has an amazing view. It really felt like a home away from home with even the smallest utensils and items easy to find. There was no "making do" with whatever was available and no confusion with light switches labeled. We enjoyed being outdoorsy for once by fishing and using the handy campfire kit to make a fire and smores. We had a great relaxing time and will recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a get-a-way!

LOVED this cabin!

Submitted: April 15, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We absolutely LOVED this cabin! It was a perfect R&R break for us after 4 weeks of hectic but fun road-tripping around the USA. We had grand plans to hire a canoe and go horseback riding but neither one happened as we were both so happy just spending time together in the cabin. The owners thought of everything when building the cabin and the little extras (cupboard stores, yummy muffins, campfire kit, labels around the home) really made the difference. Thanks for the wonderful stay and we hope to be back again one day.

A Fabulous Retreat !

Submitted: March 24, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I'm not quite sure where to begin as there are so many things to thank you for! Fireflies is beautiful in so many ways - the view, the appointments, the cleanliness, the care with which it is maintained...all of this makes Fireflies a fabulous retreat.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed "getting away" and not being on a schedule. We visited Hillsville and Floyd and enjoyed a peaceful drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved how you care enough to eliminate all questions with labels on everything making our cabin stay so easy by having all of the basic consumable supplies anyone would need for a short stay. We hope to come back when it is warmer and get to do some fishing!
