Perhaps the cabins' best feature is their large windows and spacious private decks which open to the vast beauty of the ancient New River Valley. Catch the sunrise over the mountains with a coffee in-hand as the morning mist settles along the winding valley.

Nestled in the midst of 225 acres of wooded land, discover a small network of on-site trails adjacent to the Jefferson National Forest for hiking and biking.

Less than a mile from the New River, swimming, tubing, and boating are easily accessible.

In 2027, Gap Mountain Retreat's event space will be ready to rent for any of life's celebrations complete with a large pavilion. By 2028, a campground is expected to be open with over 30 spots available.

Stiles Falls is one of the coolest waterfalls in @southwest.virginia, and you may have never heard of it! 

Located at Alta Mons in Shawsville, just a short drive from Blacksburg and Christiansburg, bring your hiking shoes and get ready to explore! The 40-foot waterfall awaits at the end of a mile and a half hike with creek-crossings and rock scrambles along the way. The colorful foliage really adds to the experience this time of year.

Close to home. Far from ordinary. Make it a day-trip or stay for the weekend!
