New River Haven is exactly as advertised - a beautiful and extremely well appointed cabin perfect for getting away from it all. Our goal was relaxation and space away from others and we got just that!
A few things worth noting: the WiFi is Starlink and was not working when we first arrived, though the network appeared available. We determined that the satellite unit had likely been tucked under the deck during lawn maintenance. Once set back out in the yard, it worked like a dream!
The cabin is remote. While this is what we were after, it’s important to note that while you are not far from “civilization”, it’s going to take you 15 mins or so to get out of the woods to begin your journey. In terms of things to do (parks and restaurants, etc) there are plenty of options, but the trip will be a minimum of 35-45 mins.
Water and common area access might test your level of fitness. It’s beautiful and perfect for fishing, but getting to the water can be tricky between damp grass and ground stability. There are no steps, so you need to be nimble to get down and flexible to climb back up. The trip to and from the common area involves a hill with serious grade. Care must be taken in navigating both directions, but the incline is constant and steep!
Aside from a suggestion to add stairs from the cabin level to the lower road and from the road to the common area, the only thing this was missing from perfection was a hot tub.
Just a beautiful spot, overall, and quite luxurious!
