Welcome to Anisidi Lodge
Arrival & First Impressions
As you arrive at Anisidi Lodge, you’re welcomed by classic log cabin charm and wide covered porches that wrap around the front of the home. The cabin sits elevated above the landscape, offering open views, fresh air, and the calming presence of the New River nearby.
The driveway leads to a peaceful setting with mature trees, open lawn, and the steady sound of water in the background. From the moment you step onto the porch, the pace feels slower — inviting you to settle in and stay awhile.
The Interior Experience
Inside, the lodge feels warm, cozy, and intentionally designed for comfort. Natural wood tones, large windows, and open gathering spaces create an inviting environment that blends rustic character with everyday functionality.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully laid out across the home, offering both shared spaces and private retreats that work well for couples, families, and small groups traveling together.

A washer and dryer are available for longer stays, and the cabin is fully climate-controlled with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Relaxation & Cabin Moments
Guests can unwind in the indoor one-person jet tub, enjoy relaxed evenings inside, or head downstairs to the unfinished basement where a small selection of games and chairs are available for casual use.
Outdoor Living & Riverfront Setting
Step outside to enjoy direct access to the New River — ideal for fishing, relaxing by the water, or simply watching the river roll by. A covered wraparound porch and private balcony offer comfortable outdoor seating, while the spacious yard features an in-ground fire pit, grill, and plenty of room to spread out.
Evenings are best spent gathered around the fire pit, listening to the river, and enjoying the quiet that comes with being surrounded by nature.
What a Stay Feels Like
Mornings begin with coffee on the porch overlooking the river. Days are filled with outdoor adventures or peaceful downtime. Evenings bring grilling, fire pit conversations, and unwinding as the stars come out. Nights end cozy and content, with the sounds of the river in the background.
Anisidi Lodge isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a peaceful riverfront getaway in Southwest Virginia where meaningful memories are made.
