| My husband and I had a most relaxing and wonderful time. The cabin was like a comfortable home away from home where we could check our hectic city life ay the door and remember who we are at heart. Spending the day painting the view from the deck while my husband relaxed in the hammock or fished at the river was just what we were looking for. I will be telling everyone I know what a wonderful time we had. The cabin is beautiful, comfy, clean and very well stocked. All the touches that you would look for or need while away from home. |

| What a wonderful surprise getaway! The cabin was beautiful and well stocked. It was very relaxing listening to the river and lounging in the hammock. We look forward to going back soon! Glad to have found this wonderful "hideaway". |

| Very nice place in a great location, right on the river, with grassy banks and a small island to explore just offshore. Pretty much everything you need is in the house and only about 5 miles to the nearest country store at Barren Springs. Good bike riding along the quiet river road (not to mention the New River Bike Trail right across the river) and there is a nice put-in location for canoes just behind the house. Note that cell reception is problemmatic unless you have Sprint but there is a regular phone available for local calls. |

| Bella Casa was our destination for our 2009 vacation in July. The Cabin is everything you could ever want it to be and more. It was well stocked with all amenities one needs for a great vacation. The river was beautiful to wake up to each morning and was a source of endless activities for the whole family. Looking forward to our next visit to Bella Casa! |

| The cabin was very well stocked with household essentials. Everthing was very clean. My family and I enjoyed an entire week. It was a great feeling to be able to wake up and go fishing every morning with only a few steps to the water and the view must be seen looking down the river, it won't disappoint. I can't wait to see it during the autumn months. |

| Another awesome spring break spent at Bella Casa. A clean and comfortable cabin equipped with all that you need. A pot of coffee sitting on the porch listening to the river flow just doesn’t get any more peaceful than that. Our girls really enjoyed fishing from the bank, the local wildlife (ducks, geese, and a few squirrels, the hammock rides and of course the cookouts. Sitting in front of the warm fire place really makes us enjoy the cool weather that usually lingers during an early spring break. I recommend this cabin to anyone who loves the mountain views and the peace of nature. |

| Our boys continue to talk about our time on the New River and at your cabin!! It was all so wonderful...daily fishing and kayaking, our dog being with us, the sounds of the river, ETC! Our day trips were all awesome as well, particularly riding bikes all over the Va Tech campus, boating on Claytor Lake and hiking to the Cascade Falls! Really, we needed another week! We hope to return to your wonderful cabin again next spring! |

I rented this home on the river for 6 nights. Coming from Florida to VA it sure was a nice change of pace! Driving to it was awesome and once we saw the property we were just amazed. So peaceful and quiet. We spent alot of time outdoors on and in the river. My 14 year old son fished and was estatic with what he caught. Just sitting outside and watching the river flow was relaxing enough for me. Walking the dog along the road was nice. He stayed on the property and enjoyed the freedom. The home itself was very clean,cozy and there was more than plenty of room for the 3 of us and the dog. Central air and heat had just been installed, however, coming from Florida, I did not see the need for air! We checked out the area and it's all beautiful. I never made it to Roanoke! I'm sure winter is just as wonderful and I'm sure the fireplace would cozy it up as well. It was a nice get a way from every day life in the city. I would have liked to have stayed more days but weekends were not affordable for us, since the rate changes. I would recommend vacationing here and hope to return to VA in the future, permanently, when my house sells here in Florida.

| We had one of the best times ever at this quiet little cabin on the river. We swam, fished, relaxed, and enjoyed the beauty around us. Cabin was so cozy and CLEAN! Thank you for sharing your retreat with us. We LOVED it, and we want to come back sometime! |

| Wonderful and relaxing stay. Cabin was clean upon arrival and there was plenty of firewood for the cool March evenings. The serenade of the river beats the lake anytime. We hope to be regulars - thank you!! |

| This was a wonderfully equipped and comfortable house. It is clean and tastefully decorated. Our children enjoyed it thoroughly - especially the access to the New River and the wildlife. The owner was great to deal with and even called after our arrival to ensure everything was okay. Thank you again. |

This cabin was very neat and wonderfully cozy. We enjoyed the
exquisite view of the river as well as the fishing in the river. We loved
watching the geese and the butterflies outside of the cabin and deer in nearby pastures on our way to town. The cabin had all of the comforts of home and was conveniently located to stores, food, etc. We truly had a wonderful time and this is the perfect quiet place to relax! |

| If you're looking for an exceptionally clean cabin...this is the place to stay! The owners truly want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Arriving on motorcycles, we were given exact directions, recommendations for to places to eat and shop for groceries. This cabin is on our list of places to revisit. |

| Our family recently spent a delightful and relaxing winter weekend at the cabin. We really enjoyed the spectacular view of the river, and observed an abundance of wildlife. For a family of 5 with young children, the cabin was very accomodating with all of the comforts of home. We hope to return in the Summer. |

| This is my favorite place on earth! Truely God's country! Last July I caught what I believe to be a world, yes world record Small Mouth Bass that measured 28". I could not weigh it and did not have a camera, so I did what any other real fisherman would do and released it. If you are truely lucky enough to catch this fish, I hope you will do the same. |
