Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Originally from California, made a career move to North Carolina over 15 years ago and immediately fell in love with this beautiful State and it's people. I work in the legal technology industry and my husband is an aerial photographer. Though we live in the city, we are lucky to have enough room for three large rescue dogs, a cat and organic garden. We enjoy our city life but escape often to the mountains to unwind and relax.
Why the Owner Chose West Jefferson
We decided to buy our mountain farmhouse because with our busy schedules and the dogs, we didn't get to travel as much as we liked. We decided to buy something we could easily get to and escape our everyday lives. We had vacationed often in and around West Jefferson and were already in enamored with the area. We fell in love with the "farmhouse" the moment we stepped foot on the long front porch and were embraced by the cool breezes and peace and quiet of the mountains.
The Unique Benefits of this Home
The Parkway Farmhouse is a beautifully furnished and decorated home with many touches from local artists including the soaps made by a neighbor. The farmhouse is located less than a mile off the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway. Walk out the front door and hike to stunning waterfalls or mountain vistas. Take the parkway to breakfast or lunch in Glendale Springs or the Historic Lodge in Doughton State Park. Dine at the River House or the quaint mountain town of West Jefferson. Float down the "New", fish for trout, or just sit on the front porch and watch the deer cross the yard and the birds on the feeder. Whatever your definition of a good time, you'll find it at the Parkway Farmhouse.

Ellen, We had a wonderful weekend in your farmhouse! Thank you for sharing your little gem in the woods with us! We enjoyed every inch of the property. We walked to the waterfall, climbed the rope ladder, rocked on the rocking chairs, and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We biked the Creeper Trail, ate at Brick Stone Pizza and Sweet Aromas, and drove around on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Your recommendations and tips were very helpful. It was our first time to the area so your guidance and suggestions were invaluable. The weather was perfect! Can't think of anything that could have made it more enjoyable except for a longer weekend! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home! We would love to come back again! Fondly, Christine

Hi Ellen. We had a great time this weekend! We did a lot of shopping so it was nice to be able to come back to a comfortable environment and relax. By the way, you have a great CD collection! You have a very beautiful home and we hope to be able to stay in it again in the future. Thanks again! Sara

Hi, Ellen! Just wanted you to know that we had a fabulous weekend at the Parkway Farmhouse. The house was beautiful and felt very luxurious. Cruel Mountain was cool, quiet, and full of color. Thank you for all of your recommendations. We hiked around the house, ate at Brickstone and Blue Ridge Cafe, visited the frescoes, stopped at the Ashe County Cheese Company, and enjoyed german chocolate cake and wine at Sweet Aromas. Our favorite activity, though, was just sitting out on the front porch in the rockers with a good book! :) (You have so many great books there!) Thanks so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home and making it such a great getaway! Casey and Wen
