We so enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing. Loved watching all the deer. Went fishing but didn’t catch anything but it was still enjoyable. Nice clean cabin had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend !!!

This cabin is nestled above the New River and has an amazing view.
Soaking in the hot tub, enjoying the natural beauty of the area was a bonus.
Cabin was functional with all needed amenities.
Bedding and bathrooms were clean.
Recommendation- leaf blower to clear acorns off the deck.
I would rent this property again. Communication with Brian was great and he was very responsive to a few questions I had.

Great little getaway. Its a basic cabin but comfortable. Driveway is quite steep. I would suggest a 4 wheel drive.
Hot tub nice plus with amazing views off a weathered deck. Super quit.. Firepit a distance from house up steep driveway or up steep path thru woods.
Very convenient to hiking & some amazing food in West Jefferson at New River Brewery & Smokehouse.

This mountain cabin is just amazing, I could literally move in and live here. The views from the property are truly expansive and far better than the pictures show. When we arrived, I was completely blown away. It was just wonderful to get up and enjoy the sunrise from the hot tub with my tea. Some mornings were very cool and completely socked in with clouds, other mornings were crystal clear. The sunsets were STUNNING from the deck. We regularly sat out at the patio table for lunch and dinner.
Brian the host is VERY responsive and helpful, not that we had any issues. The cabin itself feels very homey and comfortable. The bed in the master was very nice, which allowed us to get lots of much needed rest. The kitchen is appointed with pretty much anything you could need as expected for a VRBO. There were plenty of towels, blankets, linens, etc. We loved how the property felt so peaceful, quiet and removed from everything. Having said that, West Jefferson is only 20 mins away so you can certainly get into as much fun in town as you want very easily. The hike down to the river is a good one to get your blood pumping on the way back given the incline, but its fine for average fitness levels. The neighborhood roads and driveway are certainly a bit steep, but all very safe for 2WD vehicles (assuming no snow). Amanda keeps the property very clean and I am a neat/ clean freak! Final thought, we loved it so much we extended our stay an extra 2 days - Thanks Brian!!!

Celebrated my husband's 30th birthday with a trip to the mountains and our stay here was amazingly relaxing! The view is breathtaking, pictures don't even do it justice! We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the deck in the evenings.

The wrap around porch had a fantastic view. It was very safe for 5 little children to play on. The children enjoyed the available toys inside. Living space was very comfortable and we enjoyed the bear decor. The fire pit worked well for roasting marshmallows. Everyone loved the hot tub.

Great place to stay and unwind. Sunset views incredible. Hot tub was spot on for limbering up to start the day & winding down at the end.

Beautiful views and nice amenities. We enjoyed a hot tub sunset looking at the beautiful mountains! It was within 15 minutes of the state park for nice hiking and downtown West Jefferson, which is a very viable small town.

We would never go there again. Pros ..The host was great communicating , easy checking in. Enjoyed the hot tub. Nice view.WiFi worked. They allow dogs. Bathrooms obviously undated nicely. Beds comfortable enough. CONS …short white dog hair on couch, stain on sheet , 7 ft ceilings, felt small and claustrophobic ,seems very old , hood above stove filthy, had very pungent deodorizes plugged in several rooms which knocked us over when we walked in, very dark, one burner would not work consistently on stove, and fire pit pic on website looks close , but you actually have to hike up steeply through the woods in the dark , abandoned shack and trailer next door, old mismatched furniture, not full set of spoons, 2 plastic wine glasses, which maybe is for hot tub but no good stemware , not full set of teaspoons.

Booked this place for the weekend and it was everything and more. We wanted to go somewhere to relax, unwind, sit by a fire and hop in the hot tub. It was amazing plus it had a view. We loved it.

We had such a wonderful weekend! The view is amazing, the cabin story book perfect, red hot showers and cozy flannel sheets.
We spent many an hour hot tubbing and reading in front of the fireplace.
We initially struggled to light the fire but Brian gets 10/10 for responsiveness, even proactively calling the cabin land line to make sure we were sorted- bravo!! I hope we can return

We’ve stayed here in the past and it’s just as wonderful as we remember. Private, secluded, stunning views. Clean, cozy, everything you need. We cannot wait to go back!

The cabin is great and the view is spectacular. We had a great time during our stay, though we did run into some unexpected complications due to weather. Around 4 inches of snow dropped roughly 36 hours before we were scheduled to leave. Brian had snow shovels, mostly for the deck and walkway I'm sure. The driveway has a fairly elevated grade, and the path we dug couldn't get the car out. Brian was great about helping us connect with a neighbor who plowed the driveway for us and afterward we were able to get back to town.
Short version: Great place to stay. Cabin is comfortable, warm, and has a great view. Think ahead if snow's in the forecast. If its 3+ inches, even a 4-wheel drive may not do the trick without help.

Great mountain cabin, view is spectacular. It’s been a long time since we were able to be lazy and enjoyed every minute of it. Would certainly stay again.

Super cute, very nice landscapes, nature. I was there to spend the 31st with the family. I would have to say so many nice and good things, cleanliness, everything necessary and more too, if I could give it 11 out of 10 and 6 or 7 out of 5!!! She is a beauty, we were delighted!!

What a terrific mountain getaway! Our cabin was so warm and inviting and we were thrilled to find it decorated for Xmas! We felt right at home and except for food and personal items we found everything we needed for our stay. The views of the mountains and the river from the porch were fantastic! Would definitely love to stay here again!

This property is so much more beautiful than the pictures show. It’s spotless clean, quite, feels secluded, but it’s only a short drive to W Jefferson. The view from the deck and the hot tub are absolutely stunning. Six stars as far as I am concerned.

We had such a great stay at this cabin. The views from the porch are gorgeous and we spent lots of time out there enjoying the hot tub and patio. The cabin is cozy and compact but well laid out and comfortable. We cooked several meals in the well equipped kitchen (heads up, no dishwasher). The location is great - feels so quiet and private, but only about 15 minutes to West Jefferson. Lots of nearby hikes and we loved exploring the river which was easy to access from the property. We would love to return!!

I've been to the mountains many times but when I walked up on the porch and seen the view,my mouth dropped..sooo beautiful ❤️

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The wifi worked great. It seemed like it was far away from civilization, but it was only a short trip to a grocery store and to Downtown Jefferson's shops and restaurants. The mountain view from the porch cabin was worth every penny! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Owner was extremely responsive and accommodating. The cabin itself was clean, well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay and then some, and with breathtaking views to boot. We especially loved all the toys, my 1 year old loved the building blocks! We’ve stayed at several cabin rentals over the years and this one just takes the cake. We’ll definitely be rebooking.

Was a great place to relax and take in the surrounding views. The view off the deck was spectacular and the New River flowing below just added to this overall beauty.

If younger, we could appreciate more. The driveway is steep and not easy to turn around in. But that could be us! We were in a big truck. It may not have required more than front wheel drive if backend had more weight to it. I cannot emphasize enough how awesome the panoramic views are!

Perfect place to experience the mountains of NC! The hot tub was an added bonus! It’s close to the river. The house was cozy and had everything we needed to cook meals for our family. Host was promptly responsive. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Brian was the best host I've ever had as far as communicating. The hot tub was crucial as we were hiking hard every day, but the views were stunning. We rented this property for both and were not disappointed. We hope to make it back next year!

Very relaxing stay?
5.0 / 5.0
The cabin sits on top of a cliff overlooking a river and mountains. It is very private and has everything you would need including a washer/ dryer, grill and television. It was perfectly located for fishing, mountain biking and shopping in nearby West Jefferson. I would highly recommend this cabin.
