When night sets in, the view moves upward, to the dome of diamond-like stars. After a relaxing soak, come inside and snuggle around the cabin's floor-to-ceiling fireplace, outfitted with convenient gas logs. The interior of the home offers an open floor plan, helping you commune with your fellow vacationers and the family dog! The living area has comfy seating around the fireplace and TV. The compact kitchen is outfitted with all the dining accessories you'll want for home-cooked meals. There is seating for 4 at the peninsula counter, as well as a dining table with room for 3, and of course additional dining opportunities on the deck.

Zaloos Canoes outfitters and the access spot for the New River are practically around the corner. This is the place to come for unforgettable days of swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and tubing. In beautiful downtown West Jefferson you'll find restaurants and shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. Sample the local crafts and harvests at the Ashe County Farmers Market, or watch cheese being made at the world-famous Ashe County Cheese Factory.

Mountain Aire Golf is a public course just 5 minutes from West Jefferson, with 18 holes of beautifully-maintained fairways, amazing scenery and reasonable prices. Other High Country recreation opportunities include hunting, hiking, biking, zip-lining, cave exploration and more.

the house was ok. trees and leaves were blocking the river view. i’m sure fall would be much better. house was also a little dated but it worked. for me it was the area. it was a small town and outside of the trail hikes and the river. nothing else to do. wish it was a little closer to Boone. fishing was not great. water level low. west jefferson seemed cool. it’s growing but still a little too small for me. did have terrible experience at local steakhouse. think it was called mt. air seafood and steak. if you’re a minority i’ll just say don’t go there. but overall we had a good time. two nights was plenty for us.
