Designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, this one-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples or small families looking to spend their days close to the water and their evenings wrapped in the quiet mountain atmosphere. -------------------------------------------- Indoor Spaces: - Sleeping arrangements: This cabin is centered around a main-level king bedroom, complemented by a queen sleeper sofa in the living area for additional guests. Recharge in the comfortable living room as you gather around the gas fireplace and stream your favorite shows and movies. - Main level: The living room offers a comfortable place to recharge, featuring a gas fireplace and a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows. The kitchen has that classic country charm that will make you want to fix an entire southern breakfast every morning. - Mountain River Getaway comes with WiFi, AC, and streaming-enabled TVs. - All vacation rentals include a complimentary starter pack with soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and trash bags. -------------------------------------------- Outdoor Spaces: - Relax and watch the river float on from the covered porch, complete with rocking chairs perfect for lingering mornings and quiet evenings. - A second screened-in porch includes a picnic table, cushioned seats, and a wooden swing. It even has a ceiling fan for hot summer days. - Set yourself up for a cozy night by the water with the riverside fire pit. - A spacious yard stretches between the cabin and the river, offering room to play, unwind, or simply enjoy the open setting. Great for kids, dogs, and adults who are young at heart. Don't forget your frisbees and outdoor games! - Direct private access to the New River allows you to step right into activities like fishing, wading, or floating. If you have your own boats and tubes, bring them along for a fun day out on the water. Watershoes always recommended. -------------------------------------------- Local Surroundings: - Mountain River Getaway is located about 15 minutes from downtown West Jefferson and its plethora of restaurants, breweries, galleries, and local shops. Stop by Ashe County Cheese Factory for tons of tasty samples and to watch cheese being made, or catch the latest films at the historic Parkway Theater. - The Blue Ridge Parkway is just 5 minutes away, offering quick access to scenic overlooks and hiking trails. There's something for everyone on the Parkway, whether you're looking for a quiet picnic spot or a rigorous trail to spend the day on. For our autumn visitors, you'll want to schedule enough time during your trip to take in the vibrant colors of the fall foliage. - Boone is roughly a 30-minute drive away and packed with even more restaurants, bars, and attractions. In the fall, you can catch a football game at Appalachian State University, while winter visitors can hit the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain. Blowing Rock is a quaint mountain town nearby as well that has so many amazing artisan shops and galleries. - The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to river activities, scenic drives, and seasonal mountain experiences. -------------------------------------------- Important Notes: - Pet Policy: Up to 2 dogs welcome!

My stay was the perfect peaceful mountain experience! The house is close to blue ridge parkway trails and overlooks and is only 20 minutes or less to town. I’ll definitely be back!

Unforgettable and sublime experience. So many ways to relax and views to behold and natural silence to be heard that we had resting JOMO smiles the entire time! Very comfortable and welcoming, inside and outside, and we really enjoyed a campfire on a starry night. Thanks so very much.
