Draper Cabin Rental Photos and Description
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, built for 2 adults, but can sleep 3.
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.

About Kathie Conaway
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
Why Kathie Conaway chose Virginia
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.
What makes this cabin unique
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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
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!

The best getaway ever!
Me and my family loved fireflies! It was the best vacation we have ever been on. With all the peace and quiet and the beautiful view from the water out there it was amazing. The house was nice and cozy with a fully stocked kitchen. We brought down so much stuff not knowing how prepared the owners were for guess and we hardly used any of our items because everything we needed was already there. They had wifi and satellite TV along games, books and movies for our entertainment. Now I saved the best for last that tub was the best experience of them all it was so relaxing and incredible we loved it. We got our money's worth and more. We will definitely be back very soon we loved it there so much!
Wonderful little piece of heaven
Our family loved our weekend at Fireflies. The cabin has all the details covered and the owners did everything possible to make our stay perfect! Clean, comfortable, fresh farm eggs, and fresh muffins! The location is also amazing. We loved our time on the river out in the backyard. We will be rerurning!
A warm, welcoming home away from home.
This property is by far the best that I have stayed in through Homeaway. Everything about it so far exceeded our expectations. From the extremely, well-stocked kitchen to the unbelievable bathroom with whirlpool. Added to this is the spectacular scenery, the river, the wildlife and the quiet peace. Bill built this house with impeccable attention to detail and Kathie and Bill have maintained it beautifully. The porch on back is a great place to relax. We will visit again soon and hope to make it an annual trip!
We had a great 2 night stay at firefly cabin. Everything u might need is provided!!
Perfect cabin! And wonderful hosts we will return!!
Great, peaceful mini-vacation!!
This is a rare place to experience total peace & quiet -- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was our second visit to Fireflies and everything there is just about perfect! It is spotlessly clean and the owners have obviously put a lot of thought and care into making this the perfect getaway. We enjoyed the muffins and eggs the owners left for us, and all the care put into every item in the cabin. We love the porches for great R&R spots, and just sitting on the dock watching the occasional canoe or raft float by. The magazines and movies in the cabin are well chosen, as are the furnishings and decor (even the little soaps in the bathroom!) Everything has that special touch that show the owners care about their guests. Took a trip to Cascades Falls and enjoyed the hike. We'll be back -- loved it! Thanks for a great vacation.
