A Romantic Riverside Cabin. We are pet friendly with no weight restriction.

If you are looking for a rental cabin that has everything you could possibly want as well as 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.

Couple Getaway
My girlfriend and I enjoyed a lovely time in the secluded cabin with our little English bulldog, Goose. We spent the nights by the fire, enjoyed the local wineries, and got a chance to go up the river on the kayaks for a relaxing day on the water. Would 100% come back to this property.

Clean, Beautiful, Restful
After searching through many places to stay, I can't believe we found such a perfect place! This is now our go-to vacation spot. Bill and Kathie really pay attention to detail and include so many helpful perks. We made good use of the kayaks with our pup, caught fireflies, grilled, went star-gazing, and relaxed in the jacuzzi. We'll definitely be back!

Great Romantic getaway!
My partner and I loved it. The hosts were great, and it was a beautiful experience. There were many Wildlife: deer, Falcons, and even a Bear running across the field. I am already booking another longer stay. Three or more nights are perfect. The well-stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal after spending a day on the river, Kayaking or just laying out on their dock.

Home away from home
I can't say enough about our stay. They literally though of everything possible that one could need plus some. As soon as you walk in, it just feels like home. Kathie left fresh Pumpkin muffins on the table for us upon arrival. The property in itself is breathtaking. We spent hours on the porch off of the living room. We were lucky enough to get a little storm during our stay so we got to enjoy the storm on the porch and watch as the lightening and fireflies lit up the night. It was a magical experience. The fish were jumping and ready to eat, unfortunately, they didn't like our dinner lol I am so glad that we were able to find this gem, and so close to home at that. It is only a 25 minute drive from home so we will definitely be making this a regular getaway. Thank you Bill and Kathie for sharing your amazing place with us!

Honeymoon bliss!
My husband and I spent a week at the cabin for our honeymoon, and it was amazing! It's such a peaceful and tranquil area. We spent most of our time sitting out on the patio area or down by the river, just listening to nature. The cabin itself is lovely, too. Very comfy bed, nice bathroom, updated and well-stocked kitchen. We highly recommend staying, even if just for a weekend!

Perfectly Cozy
The cabin was so comfortable! I loved everything - heated tile floors, the heater over the toilet, jet tub, huge picture windows overlooking the river, everything you need in a kitchen with added bonuses like coffee, creamers, hot chocolate and condiments - you know the things you always forget to bring! They also left fresh farm eggs and muffins, yum! Our dogs loved running down the hill and smelling all the wildlife. Deer came a visited both days. We truly enjoyed the space.

Wonderful!
Cozy and comfortable cabin. Very clean and lots of attention to small comforts (very well stocked kitchen, heated tile floors, memory foam mattress, washer/dryer, jacuzzi tub--to mention a few). Property is very private with river frontage and access. Our 2 Labs absolutely loved running around! Owners are very responsive and helpful. It was a great stay!

Get away
A welcome weekend get-away to celebrate our anniversary. Peace and quiet, nature, and a walk on the New River Trail with the dogs. Just what we wanted. The house is a nice design for a couple, overlooking the New River. Only problem was taking a weekend off from deer hunting and watching all the deer on the property including one very impressive buck. Great weekend.

Amazing cabin getaway
The property is amazing! Our dog loved the river and the fields. The cabin had everything we could have needed. It is a little bit tricky navigating the steep hill and steep ramp down to the river dock, but totally worth it! We absolutely loved our stay and were already planning/dreaming about coming back again sometime.

We came to visit during family weekend at VT and it turned out to be a bit more of a drive than we expected;-) The cabin was easy to find and it was lovely. It’s quiet, we’ll stocked and very comfy.

Lovely cabin and hosts
The cabin is cozy, well-stocked, and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the couch reclined. The location by the river is beautiful, quiet, and has easy access to the New River Trail. We cycled during the day and relaxed in the evenings including a movie night and sitting by the fire pit (remarkably comfortable outdoor chairs too). The hosts had pumpkin muffins and fresh eggs waiting for us and immediately brought firewood when we asked. Wifi is very good. We streamed movies and music without any trouble. We also had it for calls (no cell signal in the area).
