    We like the place so much we came back for a second spring break on the river. Kayaking, reading, ball games, board games, card games, camp fires, reading, just a great break from work and school.

    We couldn’t have been happier with this property. It had everything we wanted and more. The owners were a pleasure to speak with and responded every time I wrote them. We got to meet them and they were those special people that don’t come along everyday. If fishing is what you’re after it would be tough to find a better place. There are plenty of places along the river to launch and float back to the cabin. The bonfires in the evening were magical along side the river. There’s plenty of blankets, towels and a well stocked kitchen. There’s plenty of room to park and cooking on the blackstone outdoors made breakfast a real treat. There’s no doubt we’ll be back next year for another amazing vacation. A special Thank you to Mike and Teresa for allowing us to stay at such a beautiful place. See you next year. Ken

    This was an amazing cottage. My boys, our pups, and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was stocked with everything we needed for both fun and relaxation. We loved the bench swings, hammock, and the reading barn for relaxation, and there were plenty of kayaks and canoes to choose from for fun. The host was very helpful and available when/if needed. There was some bad weather on our first night, and he even called to check on us the next morning. We will definitely be back!

    We had an amazing time! We loved our stay at this he in Covington, Va.The home is right on the river. Access was easy. Super peaceful. While we had neighbors, it was very private and a very large and secluded large lot. The home was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed!We loved the location. We kayaked on the Jackson River and the James river. We fell in love with Lake MooMaw. The lake was simply stunning. Places to swim and hike. We regretted not kayaking there. We also went to the dam. The home was easy to get to Roanoke and Staunton. And other small towns. We loved the shopping and unique gifts and restaurants. We enjoyed Falling Springs Waterfall and the Humpback Covered Bridge where we had a picnic. We went to a charity event at the Rockbridge Vineyard and Brewery - and had an amazing time! Everywhere we went was very pet friendly! In the evening, we played games, relaxed in the screened in porch listening to the river, and watched movies.Our host was very attentive and could tell they cared about our stay.We definitely recommend this property!

    Two parents and our four children and a family dog booked Spring Break in March. We had a great time experiencing the out doors from hiking to stand up paddle boarding on Lake Moomaw to kayaking down the Jackson River to reading on hammocks by the river and camp fires at night. Our host left excellent information on the area and was easy to contact.

    Place was perfect for our needs. Convenient to multiple places for trout fishing. Enjoyed the river access from the yard. Owner was really responsive and helpful!!! And we have never broken anything on any stays in the past. All in all I would recommend. Bring two vehicles so you can uses the utilize the available boats. Only thing that disappointed us was having to pay for damage insurance and putting a damage deposit. Owner tried to change but wasn't able to remove. Damage deposit was reimbursed quickly.

    My husband, our two dogs, and I recently had an unforgettable stay at this charming home on the water. The setting was everything we’d hoped for—tranquil, beautiful, and incredibly relaxing. Our boys loved having the freedom to run the extensive property, and watching them splash around in the water was a joy! My husband, an avid fisherman, was in his element, while I soaked in the peace and serenity of the surroundings. Tree branches wrestling in the wind, the sound of the rushing water, watching the fall leaves color the landscape. The location felt like home, with easy access to provisions and everything we needed nearby, but far enough away to not see other people unless you want to. The natural beauty of the camp truly sets it apart, making it a hidden gem for anyone looking to unwind. We felt like family from the moment we arrived, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! We would give it 10 stars if we could. sound?
