Charming, Historic Cottage Claytor Lakefront 1BS4 - Kirkner Lake Cabin

Journey back into America's vibrant history at Kirkner Cabin, a log home built in the 1840's. This nostalgic cabin is a testament to passing time and a reminder of simpler days. The sturdy chestnut logs were hued and stacked in the traditional manner. If you look closely, you will find an opening in the wall near the fireplace that reveals how the cracks were carefully plugged, then filled with natural mud chink. Gather around the stone fireplace just as families have done for over 160 years. Many stories have been told by the light of the fire and families found comfort in its warmth. In the 1970's, Kirkner Cabin was moved and reassembled alongside the New River. Before the logs were restacked, Mrs. Kirkner hand washed each one in the river, creating the brilliant golden hues still visible today. Take a voyage through time in this historical log cabin overlooking America's oldest river.

Peaceful and relaxing
Very relaxing and peaceful stay. Felt refreshed. Great amenities but still very rustic. Quiet part of the river saw maybe 5 boats the whole weekend. Love the history of the cabin. You'll need a small boat if you want to do any good fishing as the water is shallow in front of the cabin. However, the site is absolutely beautiful and serene. Thanks!

Needs TLC
The house was cute, the bathrooms were really clean. The beds are lacking. Worse thing about the house is the spiders and spider webs. Windows, over kitchen sink, front porch etc

Gorgeous Cabin
This is a beautiful cabin that is clean. The front porch view is amazing and to be on the lake was very private and quiet. Excellent place to stay for a romantic getaway.The only challenge we faced was finding the cabin. GPS doesn't work and the cabin is hard to find at the end of the road. Do NOT rely on GPS.

Very peaceful and tranquil
We really enjoyed the setting of this cabin and it was very cozy during the chilly nights. Just a heads up that the refrigerator froze our food so it might need turned down and there is not a lighter or a match to be found for the fire pit or to light the ignitor on the grill so be sure to have one. They supplied plenty of firewood though, which was great! We would stay here again for sure!

Second time around…
We came to the cabin back in 2015 for a valentines weekend and loved the location and coziness of the cabin. We rented it again this new years and so glad we came back. It’s so clean and tidy. Quiet and such beautiful views of the river. We like coming in the winter for it’s not tourist season and we feel we have the whole area to ourselves. We will be back again!!

This was a trip for our 30th anniversary and we could not have been happier to stay at this cabin and explore the area. To wake up and drink coffee on that porch was my dream for weeks leading up to our stay! Highly recommend this cabin.
