About this property

Rustic Updated Cabin in the Heart of the Appalachian High Country

Escape to our charming little cabin, nestled on 15 acres of rolling pastureland and Christmas tree fields in the serene foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Built in the 1940s as a tenant farmer’s home, this hidden gem sits quietly up the hill behind our big old farmhouse, offering privacy and tranquility. Relax on the porch, watch the birds, and stargaze under clear mountain skies.
Located in Ashe County, in North Carolina’s northwest corner near the Virginia line, you’re just minutes from adventure:

-15 minutes to Grayson Highlands State Park
-20 minutes to White Top Mountain, Mount Rogers, the Appalachian Trail, and the Virginia Creeper Bike Trail
-Steps away from Helton Creek, a local favorite for fishing, just across the road
-Short drives to the New River and New River State Park

For a taste of local culture, explore nearby West Jefferson—a quaint town with boutique shops, cafes, a cheese factory, brewery, and a small museum in the historic courthouse. Enjoy the Saturday farmers market or summer street festivals featuring old-time and bluegrass music. Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are just an hour away.
Perfect for nature lovers, music enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a peaceful getaway, our cabin offers a slice of mountain life with all the comforts of home.

This was our 4th time staying at this cabin, it has become our home away from home when we visit the area. My wife and I stayed a full week again. You will not find a more peaceful setting. Completely private and quiet. The stars at night are amazing with no light pollution around. The cabin is very comfortable and cozy, it feels like grandma’s house. It has everything that you need for your stay and the hosts generously provide an amazing assortment of toiletries in case you forgot to pack something. Great WiFi that you can use to stream your favorite accounts. The hosts are very friendly and quick to respond to any questions you may have. Looking forward to returning again in the future.

Hosts are Very easy to reach and helpful with educated answers to all my questions. The accommodations have everything you need. We hope to stay longer next time! The area suffered tremendous damage from Hurricane induced flooding last fall but community has shown their strength in overcoming such adversity.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Julian

Host profile image
I was born on the outskirts of London in Essex and moved to Virginia in the 1980s. The rolling mountains and crisp air of Ashe County remind me of England’s climate, which is part of why my husband and I fell in love with this special corner of North Carolina. We’re delighted to share our cozy cabin and this beautiful 15-acre property with you!

Why they chose this property

This cabin sits on a 15-acre slice of my late husband’s family land, settled in 1798 by the first registered inhabitants of Ashe County. The property has stayed in the family ever since. The big white farmhouse at the entrance, built in the 1890s, welcomes you to this historic retreat. My husband and I retired here 15 years ago to live full-time, drawn by the serenity, cool mountain summers, and warm Southern charm. We think you’ll love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our cozy cabin offers a rare blend of history, seclusion, and natural beauty. Built in the 1940s as a tenant farmer’s home, it’s tucked away on 15 acres of family land settled in 1798—the first registered property in Ashe County. Surrounded by rolling pastures and a Christmas tree grove, it’s a peaceful hideaway where you can unwind, watch birds, and stargaze under the Appalachian sky. Just down the hill stands our big white farmhouse, built in the 1890s, adding a touch of timeless charm. This isn’t just a rental—it’s a piece of living history, paired with the cool mountain air and Southern hospitality we’ve cherished since retiring here 15 years ago.
