About the Property
Your mountain getaway begins as you wind up from the river valley along a ¼ mile gravel road. You’ll find the house nestled into the hillside and surrounded by acres of undeveloped woodland.
Inside the house, you'll feel right at home with the cozy cabin charm, complete with everything you'll need for a relaxing stay. The house was built in 1972 as a fishing cabin, and we have made a number of renovations while trying to preserve the original character. While you'll find new flooring and fixtures, the large stone fireplace, wood paneling, and ceiling rafters still lend a rustic air. We hope you'll get a kick out of some of the retro decor and accessories, but we've also equipped the house with modern amenities like a gas grill and air fryer.
The main living area includes a living room, dining area, and full kitchen. The large windows and high ceiling make this area feel spacious and bright. There’s plenty of room for the whole family on the comfy sectional couch, and the dining table seats six. The Roku TV has Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max accounts, as well as live Roku channels.
The kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare meals at home, from cookware to spices, condiments, and coffee. Appliances include an air fryer, microwave, panini press, drip coffee maker and stovetop espresso maker.
Relax like royalty in the master bedroom’s king 4-poster bed with luxurious Sealy Posturepedic mattress. The second bedroom is the “kids room,” with a twin-over-full bunk bed with pull-out twin trundle. For larger groups, extra linens are available to make up the living room sectional couches, each large enough for one adult to sleep comfortably.
The large front porch is a guest favorite. By day, you can watch the busy flock of hummingbirds while you recline on the porch swing or gravity lounge chair. The gas grill and patio table are perfect for a sunset dinner, and in the evening, rope lighting creates the perfect ambiance while you listen to the sounds of the river.
A short set of stairs leads down the outdoor firepit, the perfect spot for marshmallows under the stars. Firewood is ready for you, so no need to forage, and we’ve even got the s’more supplies covered!
The hot tub is located on a small porch at the back of the house. Enjoy a soothing soak rain or shine, and ambient lighting creates a mellow mood after dark. Note that you do need to walk down the garden path and around the house to get to the tub, which can be a bit chilly in cold weather. Pro tip: bring a robe and shoes that are easy to slip on!
In the Area
When you’re ready to venture out, there’s tons to do in the immediate area. Some guest favorites include:
*Tubing and kayaking down the river
*Hiking Mt. Jefferson
*Swimming and riding the mini rapids at Elk Shoals
*Gem hunting and gold panning at Gem Valley
*Watching cheesemaking at Ashe County Cheese
*Solving the escape room at Southern Gothic Curiosity Shop
*Browsing the many antique shops in W. Jefferson
*Listening to live music at local breweries and wineries
There’s plenty more to do, and we are happy to offer suggestions and recommendations based on your group’s interests. We hope you’ll consider Roswell’s Landing for your mountain getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Natalya Barker
Born in England but grew up in New York State. NC has been my home since 2009, along with my husband, son, two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. We bought Roswell's Landing in 2023, and renovating it has been a labor of love in our spare time.
Why they chose this property
After numerous trips to other areas of the NC mountains, our family discovered the Jefferson area and fell in love! Although close to Boone and major landmarks, Jefferson has plenty to offer on it's own, without the traffic and crowds. Great restaurants, eclectic shops, and a thriving art scene are surrounded by untouched wild areas, plenty of outdoors activities, and our favorite, the New River, perfect for tubing, kayaking, and fishing.
The Glendale Springs area drew us specifically, as it's the perfect spot to access both the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway, while only ten minutes from town.
The Glendale Springs area drew us specifically, as it's the perfect spot to access both the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway, while only ten minutes from town.
What makes this property unique
Our quest for the perfect mountain hideaway came to fruition in 2023, when we discovered the property we now call Roswell's Landing. Proximity to both town and the river were a high priority, but we also wanted a place that had its own unique character and charm.
Roswell's Landing fit the bill, and as we've renovated we've worked to create a fun and quirky space that honors its roots as a 1970s fishing cabin. While you'll find a new metal roof, new flooring, and new fixtures, the large stone fireplace, wood paneling, and ceiling rafters still lend a rustic air. We hope you'll get a kick out of some of the vintage decor and accessories, like the 70s era fondue pot and slow cooker, but we've also equipped the house with modern amenities like a gas grill and air fryer.
Because the space is also used as our family's vacation home, you'll find it well-provisioned with what you need to stay comfortably, from the Seally Posturepedic mattress in the master bedroom to "the little things" like night lights in each room, Tupperware containers, first aid supplies, and other extras that often don't get packed.
We know from experience that it can sometimes be hard to keep kids entertained on vacation, so we hope you'll find plenty to do on days in with our growing game collection. In addition to board games and puzzles, we also have a foosball table, dartboard, and retro karaoke machine.
Going forward, we plan to continue renovations to enhance and expand the space. The house has a walk-in basement, which will be renovated as a game room and additional sleeping area. We also plan on adding a hot tub. We hope you'll check back in with us to see our progress!
