Mountain Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home! Creek was almost dry, so we missed that! Nearby River also had very little water. I know these things were out of their control, but were a large part of our plans for our vacation. The property was beautiful and we still had a great vacation!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience at The Ponderosa! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful home and were still able to have a great vacation. We certainly understand how disappointing it must have been to have planned your trip around the creek and river, only to find the water levels much lower than expected. Unfortunately, water levels are dependent on rainfall and natural conditions beyond our control. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back when the water is flowing again!

Our group had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. We came to Ashe for a hiking getaway and this home was a restful home base between hikes and when the storms came through. We loved the porches and hot tub, sitting and visiting in the living room and meals around the large dining table. We all slept comfortably and we’re already planning a trip back for next fall!

Housing for wedding party more like a little piece of heaven

We book lots of homes, this was hands down one of the best. Check in and office communication was second to none. We will definitely book again. The house is perfect for all ages, kitchen well stocked for everything we need. Beautiful and peaceful. Thank you so much.

Dream Vacation Spot

From the moment we got to the gate we fell in love with this place. The no cell service definitely topped it off as a 5 star for us and our family. The home was Beautiful inside and out. The grass could have had a fresh cut but we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying every single moment there. We will for sure be coming back very soon. Our favorite place by far

Outstanding As Always

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had already booked the Ponderosa before Hurricane Helene, so we decided to turn this vacation into a work trip. We were able to go out and help several people with tree work, while staying at the Ponderosa. Everything at the property was excellent, as usual. We will return to the Ponderosa again and again. West Jefferson is open for business and we encourage anyone contemplating a trip to come to the Ponderosa and patronize the local businesses.

Cousin wedding in West Jefferson

We spent two nights for our cousin’s wedding nearby and the accommodations were lovely! Plenty of room to accommodate 10 adults. Beds were comfy and setting was beautiful with terrific leaf 🍁 peeping views of the mountains. Hot tub was great - only 2 of us tried it. Only two issues - house didn’t have a hairdryer and our two allowed trash bags couldn’t fit in the bins because the cans were full from the previous renter. The game room was great for one aunt on a Walker because lower level garage lead into the room without a step. Driveway might be tough in the winter snow months.

House was very nice and in a nice location. LOVED the koi pond out back. Huge screened in back patio with hot tub also a big hit.Dishwasher didn't seem to drain properly. And balls were missing from pool table. But overall it was a great place to spend time with family.

Wonderful family vacation!

The property is beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. Our multi-generation family had plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the hot tub, koi pond, and wildlife viewing. Despite severe rainstorms, were able to explore the trails and creek and floated the river. Having the access point nearby worked out well. We cooked alot and noted the kitchen could have a few more basic items, spices, and larger coffee mugs. But overall it was wonderful. The kids room is definitely for small children. The bunk beds were small but the sectional couch was comfortable for our teens. Movie selection was only for children and no DVD upstairs, so remember your streaming account login info. We would love to stay here again!

Squirrel Surprise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this is a great property. It is a nice house with lots of room and a good layout. It is in a good location with easy access. There were a few surprises. The house was a little dusty/dirty in places, there were several lights that did not work (either the switch was broken or the bulb broken in the socket), the locks were broken on the two back doors and they would not lock, the house did not have gas logs as advertised, and only a few pieces of rotten wood were left on the front porch for the fireplace. The most interesting thing was the dead squirrel that we found in one of the beds. Even with these surprises, I would go back.

Thank you for a review of your stay at The Ponderosa. This home is on a pest control plan. The doors on the back are hard to lock but they do lock. Thie home is advertised only as having a woodburning fireplace. We do not provide wood for the fireplace and this is indicated int the paperwork. We will be replacing any light bulbs that are out. We do hope you will stay with us again.

A beautiful,peaceful place to vaction!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family went to the Ponderosa for the weekend. We loved being able to take walks on the property. The waterfall, coy pond, hot tub and screened in porch made out stay even more peaceful and fun.There are a couple things that caused us some issues and if we had been aware, it would have made the beginning of our stay easier.When we got there, we were looking for the lock box that had been indicated on our rental agreement. The code would not work. I called and found out that the code was not for the lock box but for the key pad that was on the door. The key pad was dark and the numbers were dark as well which made the key pad hard to see. The wording on the instructions just needs to be changed.Then, we didn't seem to have enough towels. Normally towels are placed in the bathroom or bedrooms but they were in the hall closet. We looked everywhere but in that closet. The back doors wouldn't lock and when I called the office, they said there was a trick to locking it. They told us how that lock worked and it worked great once you learned the trick. My agreement looked as though check out was 11 but the book at the house said checkout was 10...confusing.These are things that would have been nice to know and would be easy to fix by updating the information.There were only 3 salad bowls...not enough salad bowls for 8-10 people. I called the office several times and the person I spoke with was so very nice and patient with me.I wouldn't mind staying at the Pondersosa again.
