Nestled at the edge of the Jefferson National Forest, Gap Mountain Retreat was created to connect people with the beauty and adventure of this remarkable landscape in Southwest Virginia. Surrounded by miles of trails, gravel roads and one of the world’s oldest rivers, the property offers direct access to world-class outdoor recreation, or a peaceful setting to relax amid the quiet of the forest.

The idea of Gap Mountain Retreat grew out of our desire to share this place by offering accommodations that blend with the natural surroundings and a welcoming space where people can celebrate, explore, and recharge. Our cabins, campsites and event space are designed to complement the forest around them, offering comfort without compromising the wild character of the mountain. Gap Mountain Retreat exists because the forest is special to us and we believe it deserves to be shared. We hope you’ll find her the same sense of wonder and renewal that inspired us to build it.

Whether you’re float or fishing on the New River, exploring more than 50 miles of nearby trails by foot or bike, or simple soaking in the views and birdsongs from the porch of one of our cabins, Gap Mountain Retreat is perfectly situated for your adventure.
