Temenos is a beautiful sunlight-filled 2,000 square foot home on the North Fork of the New River, in Crumpler, just north of Jefferson. In Greek, Temenos means “a quiet place” and “a sanctuary,” and is the perfect name for this lovely retreat on a bold stretch of the river.

Stroll to the river, where steps make it easy to get in the river to soak your feet in the crystal clear waters of the New, and you'll find your city stress disappears with each breath of crisp mountain air. The hammock may draw you in before you get a chance to unpack – stretch out and listen to the moving water and the birds, the best sounds in nature.

At this relaxing mountain house you'll enjoy the reflected light gleaming on the hardwood floors. On the first floor you'll find it a pleasure to prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen, which includes a food processor, a slow cooker and on the porch there's a gas grill.

After a day of exploring, relax in the evening in front of the wood burning fireplace in the living room with a movie or your favorite show on the smart TV. Or gather your gang around the table and choose from one of the many games at the house.

The master bedroom is on the main floor, and offers a comfy king size bed to sink into for restorative sleep. The master has an en suite bath with tub/shower combo. Just down the hall another bedroom offers a queen bed, as well as a third bedroom with twin beds. If you need overflow sleeping space, you'll find a futon in the office, and daybed downstairs. If you are traveling with a baby, you'll be glad not to have to drag your pack n' play, baby tub, high chair and a sound machine, as the thoughtful owners have provided these.

For more play options, you've got a ping pong table downstairs, along with another bathroom (and the daybed). Want to keep up with your workouts? Downstairs you'll also find a treadmill (for adults only, please).

Temenos is about 15 minutes north of Jefferson, 15 minutes from Jefferson. From this location, you are perfectly situated to explore some of the most beautiful parts of Ashe County. Crumpler, with its undulating hills and long vistas makes the Sunday drive something you can enjoy every day of the week.

Even better, Temenos is a beautiful 30 minute drive to Grayson Highlands State Park, a gorgeous park with even more stunning views, and trails on open pastures home to wild ponies. You'll find a preserved cabins and an informative visitor's center about the history of the area.

Much closer to the cabin is the New River State Park with a visitor's center providing an education on the life of the New River.
