Fantastic spot right on the river. Fishing right in the back yard. Easy access to W Jefferson and Ashe County Park Disc Golf course. Very clean new space.

BEST PLACE EVER. If you're a mom, I highly recommend it. You'll be able to relax. There are no cars passing by. There's open fields for them to run around. The river is spectacular. The peace you feel is incredible. I also recommend going out at night and seeing the stars and fireflies. Wow, really 10/10 for this place. My dream is to have a farm like this. I would only recommend bringing ALL the food because it's a bit far to get anything. Otherwise, that house has everything. I hope your family has just as good a time as ours did.

A great place to stay; at the edge of a river. It is great to stay there and I definitely recommend staying here. I will be planning on staying here again in the future!
