About this property

The Cabin- Riverside Cabin Perfect For Your Family Getaway...or romantic getaway

Before you read anything here, look at the first picture. It is the view of the North Fork of the New River in the front yard of The Cabin. When we are at The Cabin, we spend as much time as possible on our wonderful front porch- rocking, swinging, eating, roasting s’mores around the fire pit, chilling out in the hot tub, napping in the hammock, or waving at people drifting by in the beautiful New River. Or maybe we are the ones drifting down the river in tubes or kayaks ourselves! Inside, the rustic chandelier lights the cathedral ceiling and the beautiful wood floors, walls and ceilings. Our family enjoys the evenings listening to beautiful music and playing games with friends, but the wifi is available if we simply have to check emails or want to watch a movie. A fully stocked kitchen allows plenty of room to make a quick snack, or a family feast.

If eating outside is more your speed, in 2024 we expanded our covered porch area to have an outdoor kitchen with a blackstone grill, refrigerator, sink and cabinets. We also have a large beautiful outdoor dining room wood table that will seat 8-10 people. The entire porch has an outside sound system that will make your evening delightful. After the meal, enjoy some time in the 7 seat hot tub, or perhaps rocking chairs around the firepit. How you make your magical evening is up to you.

We enjoy going to the cabin year round, and the hot tub is warm all year round! Winter time in the hot tub is incredible, and running inside to sip hot chocolate by the fireplace makes the evening very romantic.

When it is time for bed, the master suite has a king bed with ensuite bathroom with a walk in shower. A second bathroom has a Jacuzzi bathtub to enjoy, and we recently added a half bath as well! The main level has three additional bedrooms. The front corner room offers another king bed, while the back corner bedroom has a queen bed and twin bed. The "App" room features our Appalachian State University decor with a queen bed. Back over the great room is a loft bedroom (open to great room). The ladder up to the loft is sturdy and an easy climb up to two more double beds. The kids always fight to see who gets to sleep in the loft.

When morning comes, everyone is ready to hit the river. The North Fork of the New River is literally in the front yard. The river is about 40 feet wide in front of the cabin, but only a few feet deep. For those wishing more adventure than fishing, swimming around and skipping rocks, tubing is always an option. If shopping is more your speed, West Jefferson and Jefferson are about a 15 minute drive. The Ashe County Cheese Factory, art galleries, fresco churches and shops are great fun. We even have a hard apple cider cidery nearby in Lansing. If hiking is more your speed, the possibilities in the area are endless.

Vacations are about making memories with the people you love. Our family has enjoyed The Cabin for many years, and now that we have renovated it, we enjoy sharing it with friends. If you are looking for a place to stay that is in the middle of nature, but has all the modern comforts and amenities, we think you will love the cabin. Over 100 10 out of 10 reviews agree. We look forward to sharing it with you.

An absolute blast!

We came for my daughter’s 10th birthday celebration! This home was fully furnished with anything you think you may need! The location of the river was perfect and the home itself was beautiful. The double bed loft was such a fun experience for the kids. All the beds were comfortable and entire home was very clean!The deck/patio area was perfect to sit, relax, and enjoy the view! The black stone was an absolute game changer for our bunch! Cooked breakfast and dinner both days! The owners were excellent communicators and made our stay a wonderful experience. We look forward to booking again in the future!

12 of us - all was perfect!

This is the perfect location! We really enjoyed the home and how well-thought everything in the home is. Far enough out to feel hidden away close enough to restaurants and stores to run out for lunch. I am especially going to miss the porch. Love the little stickers of the cabin too - what a sweet touch! (And what an amazing stained glass window. Absolutely adored it!) Floating the river was a favorite for our crowd!

Wonderful location!

This home is located just a 15-minute drive from Jefferson, NC. What a quiet spot, right on the north fork of the New River, with awesome stargazing and deer watching. Direct access to the river made our trip so fun! The house was clean and cozy, with everything we needed.

Perfect Family Vacation

This house was perfect for our large group. The owners went out of their way to make sure the house was equipped for our needs inside and outside. Most of the days were spent on the porch overlooking the river. The kids and adults tubed, paddle boarded, kayaked and swam in the river all week. The town of West Jefferson is adorable and great for shopping.

Everything we were looking for

From beginning to end an enjoyable experience. Cabin was exactly as described, clean and well stocked with the necessities. Steps from the river for tubing and fishing. 10 minutes from downtown W Jefferson, yet felt secluded, couldn't have asked for a more relaxing weekend.

We’ll stocked and beautiful views.

We really fell in love with the river. The road in front of the house is not a main road, barely used. This home is one of the best stocked homes we’ve stayed at. We enjoyed tubing, fishing and relaxing while cooking hotdogs and s’mores in the fire pit. We highly recommend this home. It was a wonderful time with family.

Great weekend, great house.

We visited this cabin for Labor Day weekend with our family. The house was great. It was well stocked, had ample space for the 6 adults, 3 pre-teen/teens, and toddler. The front porch was a go-to every morning with coffee. The hot tub was clean & spacious and we enjoyed using it. We didn’t utilize the outdoor kitchen, but it is a nice addition. We drove up river to float down the river with provided tubes. The kids loved it. The only thing to be mindful is, while they are river-front, there isn’t a great space to be able to get in and out of the river in front of property and we had to float down to a nearby bridge to get out. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and Debbie is a great host!

Comfy Cabin

We loved this comfy cabin right on the river. It fit all 9 of us and had all the amenities we needed, such as washer/dryer and grill. The last few days it rained, but it was great sitting on the covered porch watching the rain and river flow. At night the fireflies lit up the mountains in a way that we have never seen before.

Family

We had a great time celebrating our son's high school graduation with our extended family from SC. The cabin had everything that we needed. We were hoping to enjoy the water, but the weather didn't cooperate for us (light rain most of the time). Sitting on the porch was very peaceful and relaxing.

Wonderful, relaxing, stay!

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the cabin, and had a blast. The cabin is spacious and has everything you need. When it was rainy, we were happy to sit on the porch and watch the rain on the river. When it was sunny, we tossed the tubes in our cars and went tubing on it! Thank you so much!

Comfortable stay on the river

Our family of four enjoyed the cabin and amenities- tubes for floating, fire pit, porch swing, hammock and croquet. It was a relaxing spot and not too far for riding the Virginia Creeper Trail and horseback riding with Burnthill Stables. The cabin was very clean with plenty of pantry staples and instructions for "things". Al was super great at communicating with us before and during our stay.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. We spent hours tubing down the mile long float that runs in front of the house - over and over again! Made easy because we had two cars for shuttling and the owners’ tubes were great. Then we did a day riding the Virginia Creeper trail, renting bikes in White Top. And then of course s’mores on the porch gas fire pit in the evening. Wonderfully relaxing and fun! Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us!

Butch's 70th birthday

We have stayed in many VRBO's. This one was by far the best equipped with kitchen, bath, games and outdoor equipment we have ever stayed at. We would definitely recommend this home to others. Just a few items to tell the homeowners. We found some kind of animal droppings on the screen door leading to the room with the rocking chairs. Mold is beginning to develop in both showers, and the sheets in the back king room were a bad fit and very loose. These are minor issues ....we really had a great time.

Marvelous for family tubing and kayaking; no dangerous water on the sections that we traveled(7mi)

Very comfortable; but not the crystal cathedral. It had everything we needed for our stay. We like to cook breakfast and would suggest an upgrade of one or two skillets. We invite your attention to the bathroom tub which is draining slowly; and to the beginning of a hornet nest on the south eave(carport) of the house. We were there over the July 4th weekend, and multiple generator noise from the campground directly across the river diminished our enjoyment of the front porch where several guest spent most of each day. Nonetheless we will definitely return to the cabin.

Beautiful location along the New River

The cabin is located in a beautiful area along the New River. It is secluded yet less than 15 minutes to West Jefferson. There were 4 couples in our party and each were happy and satisfied with their stay. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions and were very thoughtful in taking care of their guests' needs. You really only needed to bring your food and clothes and everything else was taken care of. There was ample parking for our 4 vehicles and could have handled several more if needed. I do want to make a few suggestions that I think would help in making this wonderful home even better. I put a lot of weight on the reviews of others when making decisions concerning rental property I've never seen and experienced. First I would add another couch to the family room to give more comfortable seating for adults. We brought some of the rocking chairs in from the porch and made things work for 8 adults. Also one of the king beds is listed as a trundle, and it is, but it's not comfortable for older adults in my opinion. My wife and I slept in the loft though and used the Wake Forest room where it is located to change clothes. Lastly the thermostat is located in the family room where the fireplace is also located and if you use the fireplace the heat doesn't come on and the back of the house gets cold. If the thermostat could be moved to the hallway that may remedy that. Again, everyone in our party had a wonderful stay and thought this was a beautiful home where the guests were well taken care of. These suggestions are my opinion that will make a wonderful home even better. It is a 5 star home. Thank you.

Excellent vacation

We began looking for a cabin somewhere in North Carolina the beginning of 2016. To take our first family vacation with my in laws. The cabin in he New River was one of very few options that met all requirements plus some. Needed a cabin for 14 people, somewhat secluded(noise, too many kids in our party) and close to water for fishing. All this requirements, and we wanted to stay within a somewhat limited budget. It was in the high end of our budget but the fact this property is waterfront more than justified the expense. I started emailing The Bandy's the beginning of the year. Al responded promptly and with VERY detailed answers to all my emails. He was holding the place up for us out of courtesy since we had been communicating. Had to tell him to go ahead and release it, at that point our vacation almost didn't happen. At least not at this cabin. We finally booked it in May and did have to change our dates a bit. We received a detalles emails oye instructions and directions(FOLLOW directions provided by owner, not google maps). No service for AT&T users. Was told by neighbors Verizon works great up there. Wifi worked great. Very easy to connect phone Netflix to tv. More cars than expected went thru the gravel road, but they drove by slow, waved and/or stop for a chat(mostly neighbors). Exactly how it looks in the pics Very clean Lots of space Friendly neighbors Comfortable beds, chairs, sofa Beautiful kitchen Designed with family bonding in mind Great fishing close by. Kayaks, boat and tubes provided. The river was clean, clear and comfortable temperature. With everything this house has to offer, you don't even need to travel to enjoy your time. Shopping was very close and easy to get to. West Jefferson was lovely and has a lot to offer. Don't miss the farmer's market on Saturday(skip Wednesday) and Ashe Cheese Factory. Local shops are closed on Sunday's. The cabin was amazing and the view was better. We will definitely stay at The Bandy's Cabin on the New again. Thank you for sharing a slice of heaven with us.

About the host

Hosted by Al and Debbie Bandy

Host profile image
The Cabin on the New River has been our family's special place, and we love nothing more than sharing it with other families. Our family created the stained glass mosaic window that hangs over the double front door heading out to the river. It tells the story of our love for this special place. We hope you enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

Because sometimes you want to get away and reconnect with the ones you love.

What makes this property unique

The cabin was originally 831 square feet, built in 1960. In 2015 we completely renovated the old side of the cabin and more than doubled the size. In 2024 we added an additional side porch with a giant hot tub and outdoor kitchen. Then Hurrican Helene hit our area and our cabin as well. We have totally renovated again with new flooring, appliances, furniture including beds. We are happy to be in our home again after 7 months.
