Property details

Kick back at On River Time, a classic log cabin set right on the North Fork of the New River. You're just 10 minutes outside of the towns of West Jefferson and Lansing, putting you at the center of the action. Or, if you prefer relaxation, this cabin has everything you need for a restful mountain vacation. As Goldilocks says, On River Time is “just right.” -------------------------------------------- Indoor Spaces: - Sleeping arrangements: The main floor hosts the primary bedroom, complete with a king bed. An upstairs loft is home to the second bedroom with two twin beds, while the lower level of the cabin has a queen-size sofa bed. - Main level: On River Time combines old-school log cabin charm with contemporary amenities. The front door leads straight into the cozy living room with cushioned seating, a fireplace, and a TV. Your kitchen is just steps away, creating an open and airy living space where friends and family can gather to laugh and eat. - Upper level: The upper level is a small loft with one bedroom and a reading nook. - Lower level: Downstairs is a second family room with another TV (great for spreading out if you can't decide on a movie!). The lower level leads to an outdoor patio with a hot tub. - On River Time comes with WiFi, AC, satellite TV, and Netflix. - 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: - An upper deck and lower covered patio give you the space you need to enjoy the outdoors together. Keep your eye out for wildlife, like deer and wild turkeys. Sharp-eyed guests might even spot a blue heron or an otter. - The decks lead out to a wooden walkway that ends at an outdoor firepit. Don't forget the s'mores on your way out the door! - Stone steps lead into the river, making it easy to dip your toes in or go for a swim. Bring your tubes, canoes, kayaks, and fishing gear—you're gonna need them. - A fenced-in yard is perfect for your furry friends. -------------------------------------------- Local Surroundings: - On River Time is just over 10 minutes from the town of Lansing. Stop by Molley Chomper Hard Cider for some tart and tangy brews before heading to the Liar's Bench for a tasty sandwich. Take a walk on the Lansing Creeper Park Trail before exploring the galleries and shops the town has to offer. The NC Heritage Trout Waters run through here, so bring your flyfishing gear. For cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts, this park also features a three-mile single track trail with a 1,700ft. elevation change. - In West Jefferson, you have even more dining and brewery options. Some of our favorites include Red Dog Bar & Bistro, Craft Bistro in the Old Artists' Theatre, and Thong Summit Thai & Sushi, but the town truly has something for everyone's tastes. If you're visiting in the warmer months, check out the Backstreet concert series. - Your cabin is just 30 minutes away from Grayson Highlands State Park, home to hundreds of miles of trails and wild miniature ponies. A little further out are the Pond Mountain game lands, a great place for sightseeing and scenic driving. -------------------------------------------- Important Notes: - Pet Policy: Spot can come, too! On River Time allows up to two dogs. Must be leash and crate trained, two years or older, and 45lbs or less. $50 per pet, nonrefundable. - Access: The roads and driveway leading to On River Time can get icy in the winter, so drive carefully. We recommend 4WD or AWD. -------------------------------------------- Why Looking for your perfect mountain getaway? You're in the right place.

Beautiful location on the river. Cabin has everything you need. Hot tub is new and clean. Hot water and pressure where great. Linens new and beds comfortable. Internet and tv worked great. Nice to have the downstairs area private for sharing with others in your party. Great deck and yard, very peaceful. Nice touches for dogs. 15 minute drive to West Jefferson. Would come back for sure.

We came up for a short weekend to find some relaxation. This was the perfect spot. Nice cozy cabin, large king bed and it’s comfy. Very quiet and serene. No noisy neighbors or dogs barking. Nearly no traffic. The hot tub was very relaxing overlooking the river. Drive way can get very icy, but the hosts informed us about the driveways before our arrival. There is convenient parking at the top of the driveway if there is ice. We will keep this cabin in mind for another peaceful getaway!

The original air bnb we booked was inaccessible on our check in day due to snow and ice, and they quickly got us a new cabin and it was a great experience. Glad they cared for our safety and helped us out.

Our stay at “On River Time” was wonderful. Getting to the cabin was easy and the instructions for check-in were very straightforward. The cabin is very nice and cozy. The furniture (sofa, recliners, mattresses) was all top tier and so comfortable. Bathroom was clean they provided nice linens (more than enough). Kitchen was functional and we were easily able to grill and cook. Hot tub was clean and such a nice touch in the cold weather. Location is perfect for both West Jefferson and Lansing, we visited both for food and shopping and really enjoyed both. The yard was great for our Scottish Terrier. Highly recommend this cabin!
