GREAT ADD-ONS TO YOUR CABIN STAY

Guided Smallmouth Trips: The New River is a tremendous resources for big river smallmouth, and we can not wait to get you on the river. Spring is an exciting time, and it is hard to beat March thru the end of May for overgrown smallies. Summertime is great for numbers and is a favorite for novice anglers, family trips, & corporate outings. For fully guided smallmouth trips to the beautiful New River call 540-921-7438.
