• Located right off the historic Todd Railroad Grade Road

Imagine spending your vacation getaway in a secluded log cabin tucked away in a private forest of native mountain laurel and flowering rhododendrons. This charming log cabin is only a short drive to downtown West Jefferson and offers the convenience of nearby attractions and activities for your enjoyment. No matter what the season of the year – Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter – there’s plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy nature at her finest! Outdoor lovers will especially enjoy the proximity to Blue Ridge Parkway and New River. You might enjoy hiking, camping, horseback riding and photography along hundreds of miles of well-marked trails. Or perhaps bring (or rent) a rod and reel to try your hand at catching some delicious fresh trout from a rippling mountain stream and cooking it for dinner. If you like being on and in the water, you can canoe, kayak, or float down the historic New River for a fun-filled two hours or an entire day. Bicyclists will find plenty of routes to take; one of the most popular is the nine-mile riverside route that also follows the old railroad tracks between Todd and Fleetwood just steps away from the cabin. If you’ve got more of a downtown inclination, be sure to check out the many fine and unique shops, boutiques, galleries, coffee shops and restaurants that bring central West Jefferson alive each and every day. Check out the weekly Farmers Market, monthly Art Stroll, and quarterly performances done by the local Ashe County Little Theatre. From Spring through the Fall seasons, weekends are filled with a variety of music, craft and BBQ food festivals. With three bedrooms and two full baths, the cabin can nicely accommodate six people. Cook your meals in a fully-equipped kitchen or on the charcoal grill, and enjoy the living area complete with wood burning fireplace. Modernists will appreciate the internet TV service, DVD player and movie library, and high-speed Internet. After all your adventures downtown and out in the wilds of the High Country, you’ll surely appreciate relaxing by the river or setting on the rocking chair covered front porch of the Laurel Ridge Log Cabin and its romantic old mountain charm. You’ll find everything you need just waiting for you to arrive and settle in.

Our 2nd stay here. Great location, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and living room furniture. Beautiful wood burning fireplace to top off the cozy atmosphere.
We enjoyed our birthday get away in this cabin. We will definitely be back in the near future. We extended our stay by another day and our host was able to accommodate our request.
Cabin was absolutely perfect and so cozy! Loved the fire pit and close proximity to Todd and the beautiful river. We also enjoyed time in West Jefferson, Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain. This was my 8th visit to this area, and one of my favorite cabins! Our hosts were extremely responsive and gracious!
We have stayed here for 6 years in a row and it never disappoints. Always so clean and the owners are wonderful. They always make it a home away from home for sure.
Dale was a supreme host, always responded to my questions quickly. The home was cozy and lovely. I love an authentic log cabin. We had a nice nature inspired respite vacation. Loved the cabin in the woods in a private location. Loved the quietness, yet close to many attractions when we ventured out. Great location. Clean and host supplied all the essentials needed for the trip, even soap. Slept the best I have in years! Felt like home and the cabin and the woods warmed my soul like hot cocoa on a cold day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cabin. The owners are very communicative and the entire experience was fantastic. The fire pit is great for smores! Will definitely stay here again.
We stay every year and the homeowners are absolutely the best! Beautiful, clean cabin set in paradise.

So nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay! There is no place that I enjoy to spend time with my family.....such a peaceful location that always brings us closer to each other. Thank you once again for choosing our cabin! Best wishes, Dale & Keiko-
Excellent location - easy access to Boone, West Jefferson, and Blowing Rock. Right up the hill from the New River, but not super easy access. Very comfortable and overall great vacation spot!
We had a very relaxing and peaceful vacation. The hosts were great with communicating with us and made our stay very pleasant. The house was cozy and perfect for a nice family getaway. If you are looking for that kind of vacation this is the place for you
Log cabin was beautiful. Very clean and great location. Owners were exceptionally helpful and prompt to respond to any questions I had. This is a must stay you will not regret.

About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager
We currently live in Cary, NC and love the convenience of traveling to the Boone area to spend time at our cabin. I grew up in PA and cherish the memories of countless trips to the Pocono mountains during my childhood. I've always dreamed of recreating these memories for my family and we are blessed to be able to do this with our beloved Laurel Ridge Cabin.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this cabin within seconds of seeing it for the first time. It is everything that we ever dreamed of. Beautiful rustic hand-hewn logs warm the inner space of the cabin and provide a fragrant smell of pine. We love the privacy that our location provides - It is completely surrounded by dense rhododendron and trees on a private 4 acre lot and sits perched above the New River. I am an avid fly-fisherman and I wanted proximity to the river and I enjoy fishing on the water every chance that I get. We also wanted a property that would enable many activities. We can enjoy walking or biking to the river and rafting, tubing and kayaking in the summer. We also love the proximity to the Todd Railroad Grade road, which is known as one of the best walking/biking routes in NC. Coming from the Raleigh direction, our location is prime and saves significant time due to its location (east of Boone); which means quicker in and quicker out. Yet - we are very close to Boone/Blowing Rock for easy trips and we go into town every time we are up. Of course we also love the close access to the incredible Blue Ridge Parkway and the easy drive to ski areas.
What makes this property unique
When you stay in Laurel Ridge, you will be able to escape away from it all. Our 4 acres and wooded surroundings provide you with great privacy. Unlike the majority of cabins, ours is an authentic hand-hewn cabin which provides you with an incredible rustic feel that is very hard to find and replicate. Our cabin is tastefully decorated with handmade rustic furniture from a renowned craftsman, which also adds to the unique charm of Laurel Ridge Cabin.
