The River, The Woods, The Perfect Family Vacation

This is the get-away spot you've been dreaming of. Enjoy private, direct river access, just a 5 to 7 minute hike away from your lovely, three-level “cabin” in the woods. This spacious home offers great indoor and outdoor living, with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows, a towering cathedral ceiling and a wide wrap-around deck. Everything here is built for your comfort, from the king-size master suite in the loft to the separate family room on the bottom level. On the main level in between you'll find an open-concept floorplan and fully-equipped kitchen – perfect for entertaining – as well as two more bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has a full-size bed and the other has two twins. These rooms share a full bath with a tub-shower combination. Downstairs in the family room kids can spread out and relax in their own space, which also offers a sleeper sofa and a bathroom, to accommodate additional guests.

Although the home interior is inviting and loaded with amenities, you'll probably spend a lot of time outdoors, enjoying the river and the woods, as you escape the heat of the city. The New River is wide, shallow and slow-moving – great for swimming, fishing, tubing, kayaking, hiking and picnicking. It's a 5 to 7 minute hike down to the New River. Please note that coming back to the house is going uphill for 5-7 minutes. You'll also enjoy hanging out near home, communing with nature from the big deck. Fire up the grill and have a family cook-out! Or do some amazing star-gazing at night, from the hot tub. Afterwards, come inside and play games by the fireplace or watch a little TV.
