No need to chop wood or sweep up ashes — with the click of a remote, the flames dance to life, filling the historic cabin with gentle warmth. Thick, hand-hewn Chestnut logs insulate the cabin beautifully, keeping it toasty in cooler months and cool in summer.

Located just a mile from the Shot Tower entrance and about four miles from Foster Falls, Kent’s Cabin is a favorite destination for visitors to the New River Trail State Park. This 57-mile linear park follows an old railroad bed, paralleling the scenic New River for 39 miles and weaving through four Virginia counties and the city of Galax. Its gentle slope makes it ideal for hiking, biking, and horseback riding — perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers. The Foster Falls area even offers guided horseback trips, canoe and bike rentals, boat launches, and a charming gift shop. For the most up-to-date park information, visit the official website

History enthusiasts will be enchanted by this rare structure built from American Chestnut logs — a material now nearly extinct due to blight. The cabin’s origins date back to around 1850, making it one of the oldest standing buildings in Wythe County. Imagine the stories these walls could tell! While the cabin retains its rustic character and architectural charm, it’s also equipped with every modern convenience. A new mini-split system ensures year-round comfort, with individually controlled room temperatures and remote controls for easy adjustment.

In the modern kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to prepare a cozy meal — a full-size electric range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and plenty of cookware, dishes, and utensils. Enjoy your meal at the large eat-in kitchen table, perfect for a home-cooked breakfast or a candlelit dinner. We also provide coffee supplies for your first morning, along with basic seasonings, sugar, sweetener, and creamer. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen, and there’s an LG washer/dryer with detergent pods for your use. Step out onto the deck and listen to the gentle sounds of Shorts Creek flowing below — a true “babbling brook” experience. You’ll also find a new Blackstone griddle grill for cooking up your favorite steaks or even your own New River catch of the day.

Upstairs, the bedroom’s exposed chestnut logs and antique charm create a warm, romantic atmosphere. There’s a comfortable pillow-topped queen bed dressed in luxury linens, a large walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and plush towels. On rainy nights, drift to sleep beneath the soft patter of raindrops on the metal roof — a sound that guests often describe as magical.

Modern amenities blend seamlessly with the cabin’s old-world charm. You’ll find two 43” HD flat-screen TVs — one in the living room and another in the bedroom — with DirecTV for entertainment. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also provided, though we recommend taking this opportunity to unplug and savor the peace and quiet of mountain life. And to welcome you, we include a complimentary bottle of local wine from the renowned Chateau Morissette Winery in nearby Floyd County.
