Whether you're in town for Hokie football, a conference for work, or a weekend adventure, Gap Mountain Retreat welcomes all kinds of travelers looking for serenity in the woods of Southwest Virginia.

This brand new wilderness escape currently features eight cabins including two and one-bed options. Each cabin features a full kitchen, inviting living space, a private bathroom, along with heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable year-round.

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.
