Your family and friends will enjoy fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and simply taking it easy, as you watch the peaceful river slide by. Riverside Canoe Outfitters is situated nearby, to conveniently set you up with any needed equipment or instruction. The New River State Park King Creek and Visitors’ Center are within 5 minutes of the cabin.
From the cabin, it’s only a 2-minute walk to the neighborhood’s gazebo common area, great for picnics and get-togethers. From there, hike 6 minutes to the picturesque common area directly on the New River, featuring a large stone firepit. The common area also provides parking if you prefer to drive to the river.
The cabin has two very spacious decks – one on each level of the home. From the decks you can soak in the hot tub, relax, read, sip a beverage, or dine al fresco, enjoying the serenity of the wooded mountain setting. Corn hole is also available for friendly competitions.
On the main level of the house, you’ll find an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and great room. The kitchen is nicely equipped with stainless appliances and everything you’ll need for entertaining or large family meals at home. When you feel like dinner out, you’re lucky to be very near the Red Dog Restaurant, with comfortable upscale dining and rave reviews! After a big day, gather around the fireplace for some warm cabin ambiance.
The master bedroom is also conveniently located on the main level, and equipped with a king-size bed. The bathroom on this level includes a tub and shower combination. Downstairs you’ll find three additional bedrooms, two with queen beds and one sporting a full bed as well as a twin. There’s also a sleeping nook with a full-size futon, to accommodate additional guests. The bathroom on this level also offers a tub/shower combo and there’s a washer and dryer as well. Both levels of the home have access to large covered decks.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the river. We went tubing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Oh yeah, we took a hiking trip to the river. We hope to return and spend more time in the near future.- Tammy , Posted: 06/30/2024
Great peaceful forest type cabin. Fascinating bird and wild life seen during our visit. Would say keeping it to 8 guests is best as space can be limited but the kitchen was perfect with lots of space and everything worked perfectly. They even put out little dog bowls for our dog. The host was excellent and immediately responded to a small issue we had. Fun walking trail to the river and only about 11 miles from west Jefferson which is great. Loads of incredible views within the community too.- Nicki , Posted: 05/06/2024
My stay was excellent .i will contact you again for a future visit. Thank you !- Norkys , Posted: 01/05/2024
The home was clean and well stocked for our family.- Tim , Posted: 07/15/2023
Indian Cave is a large mountain home that easily accommodated my family of eight adults. There were hikes, easy neighborhood river access, a true Indian Cave complete with a Bobcat inhabitant, fishing and easy walk/drive to views, hot tub, large sitting decks, quite spaces and a very quiet location. The big plus for us was the home is Dog friendly.- Dan , Posted: 07/07/2023
The Indian Cave home is well appointed and has everything a large group will need on a mountain adventure vacation. The house accommodated our group of eight adults, all family, very nicely. The drive to the river was easy with good river access. The river kayaking from Kings Creek (2 hours + with stops to swim) or Dusty Trails (4.5 hours with lunch and swim stops) was perfect! The house hot tub was enjoyed multiple times, the large porches and seating allowed us to enjoy comfortable mountain breezes and beautiful mornings. We also needed a home to accommodate our two small dogs and this home was perfect. Thank you for the nice accommodations!- Dan , Posted: 07/05/2023
Excellent place to stay. Clean and had everything we needed.- Bowen , Posted: 08/07/2022
We absolutely loved the cabin and plan on coming back for another stay. The location was private and quiet. The house was beautiful inside and out and very spacious, it's the perfect place to get away for a few days. Definitely plan to bring food prior because the grocery store is about 30 min away. Also, don't recommend driving late at night due to the windy roads and deer. The hot tub worked great and the fire pit outside was huge and so cozy. Everything was as promised!- Gabriela , Posted: 12/22/2021
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. The place was exactly as advertised. Thanks to you, we will book directly rather than using VRBO. Your response was great when I had questions and I had several. Thanks again. Great service is hard to find in today's world.- Dot , Posted: 11/02/2021
Nice cabin and neighborhood. Well appointed home, nice area to walk, great river! Fantastic fire pit area, unfortunately gas fireplace only lasted one night. No gas in the tank, BBQ is super small and falling apart. Overall a very enjoyable long weekend.
--Thank you for the feedback, we're so happy to hear you had an enjoyable weekend. Our apologies for the propane, a delivery is scheduled for this week.- Steven , Posted: 10/25/2021
It was amazing and a beautiful experience- Maribel , Posted: 10/11/2021
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was CLEAN and spacious. Our boys enjoyed the neighborhood: we explored Indian Cave, walked the Waterfall Trail, and splashed in the New River. The location was great - close enough to Sparta and West Jefferson to provide plenty more to do. We would absolutely come back!- Mary , Posted: 09/13/2021
Loved house being secluded and the privacy. The house was so big with the wrap around porches that even if it rained there was plenty of room to enjoy outside. Close to New River and nature walks. Very quiet neighborhood. Only the sounds of nature to be heard. House was equipped with all that we needed.- Ruth , Posted: 08/18/2021
The house was perfect for a family vacation for 5 adults and a teenager. The pictures show the wonderful property. The hot tub is on the lower deck (where the porch swing is shown in pictures). The kitchen is well equipped to fix any meal. The beds were very comfortable in each room. The deck has two hammocks and plenty of seating to enjoy the peaceful setting. There are a couple of ways to access the river. Red Dog is a great restaurant close by with delicious food and excellent service, when you don't want to cook! Blue Ridge Parkway provided outstanding views on our trip to Blowing Rock. West Jefferson was also an enjoyable trip with a quaint town and a wonderful place to purchase produce. Riverside Canoeing provided a fun activity for the family on the New River. The property manager was quick to reply with questions and check out was a breeze. It is a beautiful home. We wished we could have stayed longer!- Mary , Posted: 07/27/2021

Can’t wait to go back! Cabin is beautiful and comfortably slept our large family! Loved the privacy of the cabin; we barely left at all. Enjoyed the serene beauty and peacefulness. Definitely a spot we will visit again and again!- Anonymous U , Posted:
Cool as the other side of the pillow...
Great place! Spacious and well appointed. Tucked back towards the end of a winding lane framed by hardwoods and long leaf pines. Porches wrap both levels. Fire pit with a huge flagstone patio. Hot tub. The works! Easy access to the river. Lots of trails. Nice linens and a full kitchen with plenty of cookware. Neat cave close to the property too. If you're looking for a comfortable classy cabin with lots of privacy this one's a great fit. Highly recommend!- Mark A from Wilmington, Posted:
