About this property

Downtown West Jefferson Cottage- 5 minute walk

**Stays of 7 nights or more automatically apply a 10% discount**

This mid century cottage is a 5 minute walk through the park to downtown West Jefferson. Located directly across the street from West Jefferson Park, you and your kids will never run out of things to do! Incredible views of Mount Jefferson from the living area and front bedroom. Historic West Jefferson has lots to offer and this home is right at its doorstep.

This home faces east so you can watch the sun as it rises over Mount Jefferson in the morning from the front steps, living room or front bedroom. It also provides abundant morning hours sunlight throughout the home.

This home has 1 King bed, 1 double and 1 twin. The double and twin are bunk beds. This home is best suitable for 2 adults and 2 children, but can accommodate 3 adults and 1 child very comfortably. **There is no guest access to the garage**

We are fully stocked like a hotel with fresh clean bath towels and bed sheets provided for you. No need to bring paper towels or toilet paper as well, we got you covered.

5 minute walk downtown, 5 mins to Mount Jefferson State Park, 15 mins to the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15 mins to New River State Park, 30 mins to Boone, 40 mins to Blowing Rock. This property offers a perfect location for all your needs.

There is a very well maintained park directly across the street that draws a lot of locals and tourists. The park offers walking trails, playgrounds for children, basketball and tennis courts. Adjacent to the park and also across the street from the home is a very well maintained cemetery. I assure you, the residents of the cemetery are the quietest neighbors in town!

**Please note that this is the mountains and some guests may find the driveway “steep”. There is a flat gravel area to park directly in front of the house if the driveway is an issue for you. Keep in mind you will then have to still walk up the driveway or front yard. This property is not likely suitable for anyone with walking issues.**

** We provide Philo for streaming TV, but there are no local network channels. Please google “Philo channel lineup” to see available channels**

** In order of our cancellation policy, we will no longer accept alteration requests within 30 days of your reservation.**

** We have a security camera facing the driveway. It also provides lighting for your safety. This camera not only protects our property when it’s vacant, but also your vehicle when you are there. We also use it to make sure our cleaners have been there.**

Home away from home

We enjoyed this comfortable rental very much due to a convenient location and the green space views of Mt. Jefferson, the city park and cemetery from the sofa! Due to the pandemic, we chose to prepare all our meals in the spacious kitchen. The park was a great place for an evening stroll (and swing) after dinner. We brought our own kayaks and used Zaloos for our shuttle needs. The owner's communication was great prior to and after our arrival and I have no doubt we will stay here again in the future while continuing to search for vacation property.

West Jefferson gem.

We loved our visit to West Jefferson. The house was very well appointed. We had three adults so the top bunk could not be used because of weight restrictions. It would have helped if this had been disclosed before we got there. Only suggestion would be to include small toiletry items in the bathroom. Other than that we thought it was next to perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by James Blydenburgh

Host profile image
Hello, I am James. After running a business in Raleigh NC for 20 years, I decided to sell my business and become a full time host. I rented out my second home at Kure Beach for many years and just loved providing vacation rentals for my wonderful guests. I have since expanded my business and three two condos in Kure Beach, one condo in Carolina Beach, one at Badin Lake and this is my first property in the mountains. I strive to provide rentals that are above and beyond what people expect to have in a rental and wouldn't rent anything to our guests that I wouldn't enjoy staying in myself.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to downtown is what is so great about this property. You can be right in the heart of Main Street with as 5 minute walk. No worries about finding that hard to get parking spot, or have a few drinks and be safe without having to drive. We also have a wonderful park directly across the street.
