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 from our floating dock. 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.
This HomeAway partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We retired to the New River Valley in 2008 having lived in the southern portion of New Jersey. Kathie was an elementary school principal and Bill ran a small contracting business.
Kathie Conaway purchased this cabin in 2010
Bill and his father built the cabin in 2009. The cabin was designed and furnished with our future guests in mind. Our aim has always been to make our guests' stay relaxing. We make every effort to make Fireflies Cabin your home away from home.
The cabin has been designed and located on the property in such a way that you feel like you are far 'away from it all' while being only 5 miles from Interstate 81 and 800 feet off of route 100 (Wysor Highway).Our very own floating dock sits on the river in front of the cabin. It is great for fishing and swimming.
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!
Our stay at Fireflies was wonderful. Kathy and Bill have the cabin stocked with ANYTHING that you could possibly need during your stay. The view of the river was so peaceful. We had a nice chat with Bill who gave us some history of the cabin. I highly recommend FIreflies!
This was our second time staying at the Firefly and we loved it just as much as we did the first time. The scenery is beautiful and it’s a great getaway. There is plenty to do in the area whether you like hiking / the outdoors and restaurants. The cabin is immaculately kept and everything is easy to find with a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, basic spices, etc.).
We had a great time staying at Fireflies! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely consider staying there again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay on the property. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The place was clean and put together well.
Our cabin, called Fireflies, was a joy to stay in. The cabin was well stocked and equipped with everything you could think of and may have forgotten. Everything was spotless. The surrounding grass field was great for exercising our dogs, and the view of the river was majestic. We had a wonderful time and definitely plan to return.
We just spent another Christmas at Fireflies and it never disappoints. They always have everything we need and is our home away from home for the holidays. Patrick left my boys some treats and they loved them. My furry boys love to run and play especially because they can do it off leash. Thanks for having us again! Can’t wait till next year.
We are located 5 miles off I 81 ,exit 89A, route 100, Wysor Highway.
