About this property

This 2009 built retreat features a 3000’ elevation, great mountain views, river access, a secluded location, and a huge screened porch.

The location of The Cottage is less than 10 minutes from Downtown West Jefferson where many festivals are held and many artisans keep shop. The town offers a few restaurants, bars, art galleries, an ice cream parlor, and a coffee shop. This is the only place in NC where cheese is made, and you can watch at the Ashe County Cheese factory downtown. Boone is a 25 minute drive, Appalachian Ski Resort is 45 minutes away, Beech and Sugar are about an hour drive.

Entertainment is provided by ROKU internet TV including programming by Netflix and Amazon Prime. Living has a 36” TV with ROKU. Full bedroom has a 13” TV with ROKU.

The kitchen includes a full compliment of cookware, silverware, and small appliances. Coffee by Keurig, bring your favorite K-cups. A small gas grill with complimentary fuel is provided. A full sized washer/dryer unit is down the hall when you need to wash a load of clothes.

Internet data flows via dual band WiFi at broadband speeds. You may connect your phone, tablet, laptop, etc. to the wireless network with ease. Download speeds average 15 Mbps. Please be advised there is no landline phone at the cottage, so you may want to verify your cell phone is set up for Wifi calling before arrival. Most cell service by any carrier is spotty at best in the mountains in general.

Guests enjoy river access via a private riverfront property that is yours exclusively during your stay. An elevated wood deck overlooks the South Fork of The New River. The River Access Lot is walking distance from The Cottage along a trail. A gravel road exists if you prefer driving, or if you are hauling boats in or out of the river.

Numerous walking trails are available to hike. There are over 5 miles of old logging roads and gravel roads to explore. Please be advised, the road to the cottage is a gravel one with a hairpin turn into the driveway. If you drive a large vehicle, you will have to make more than one attempt at the hairpin turn or park beside the driveway on the gravel road. You may have to back all the way out if you do not feel comfortable turning around.

Sorry, no pets.

Quiet and peaceful

Secluded and peaceful but close to town. Deer were everywhere and fishing was great! This is a great place to go if you want to get away from it all!

Nice visit

I got this rental for my 80 YO parents to come stay for a week as I have pets and they dont do well with them. The cabin was clean and nice. It located close to town, yet far away enough to bee away from the traffic and noise. It was a very pleasant stay. The only downfall was that there were grease and food bits on every single plate in the cabinet. Guests are supposed to do their own dishes, so I dont feel like it is the owners fault, but maybe checking the dishes when the place is cleaned would be a worthwhile effort.

Best experience all around

This cabin was beautiful! Very clean, well stocked and in the perfect location. The beds were extremely comfortable and the porch and view was top notch. The driveway was not an issue (if you pull forward a little and back in it makes it a little easier). We can’t wait to come back!!! The host were amazing and the town is like a hallmark movie. We never ran out of things to see and do and actually can’t wait to go back. I hate to post this review and have this cabin book up so fast that we have to worry about availability however the hosts deserve the credit where credit is due. Thank you for sharing this cabin and town with us. We will be back to experience as many seasons as we can.

Our stay at Jennifer Moore’s property

My husband and I fully enjoyed the quiet and privacy. The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked and our surroundings were pleasant. Our only disappointment was not being able to locate private access to the river. We were confused when we made the reservation about Location of river access, whether the access was on the home site or on another property… The pictures told one story and the text another. Several times we used the directions on the kitchen wall and still could not locate access. Nonetheless we had a wonderful week and thank the Moores for sharing their special cabin in the woods.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Moore

Our family lives in Charlotte, NC. We have our own business there. We enjoy coming to the mountains to hike, canoe, fish, swim, and relax in the quiet.

Why they chose this property

We built this cottage to suit a small family. We selected the location for the view, proximity to shopping, and being close to the New River. We wanted ease of maintenance and high quality.

What makes this property unique

The porch is a generous 12x30 and furnished to make the most of the outdoors. In the summer, when the Piedmont temps top a hundred, this 3000' high screened living area the best place to spend the afternoon.

Its hard to find a rental with river access, a well appointed home, a view, all tucked out of sight, yet so close to town.
