Idyllic setting!

What a beautiful cabin to share a long weekend with our family! Plenty of space, and a wonderful setting. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back porch, happy hour at the awesome fire pit and floating down to Elk Shoals park a couple of times. Only wish we could have stayed longer! Beware, if anyone in your party is not good with stairs as there are lots of them!

Beautiful cabin

We’ve stayed in many cabins in Ashe County and this is by far, our favorite and prettiest! Easy access to the river along with the kayaks provided, created a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We had 10 family members over 18 years old and it fit us perfectly. It was very clean and well equipped. We hope to visit again soon!!

Wonderful!

The cabin was clean, had a gorgeous view, and was extremely well stocked! We had a group of 7, ranging in ages from 49-82, and the cabin was loved by all. We also really enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated the wood that was stacked and ready for use! The owners were very quick to respond the one time we had to reach out. This will be our group’s first choice if we need a place to stay in this area!

Peaceful and relaxing

The cabin is certainly off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. We saw otters, beavers, deer, and hummingbirds, and listened to birds and crickets while sitting on the decks. The cabin was very clean, with all the essentials we needed. There was lots of space, even with ten of us staying. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, kayaking, and playing numerous games provided. The owners are super friendly, fast to respond, and gracious hosts. Definitely the perfect place to stay.

Clean, peaceful, very stunning view of the River.

Well appointed. My wife and I stayed on the main floor with the Queen Bedroom and our Son, Daughter in Law, and 2 Grandchildren on the lower floor. Gave us, and them, some privacy and at night, allowed us to turn in earlier and them to watch TV on the lower floor versus main floor. We will be returning and recommend this cabin. We rated it a 5 Star base on other VRBO stays we have had over the years.

What an amazing property overall. The location is close to town while still feeling remote. The house itself met all of our needs and had great back porches for lounging on 2 levels. The path down to the river was easy to manage and the water itself was amazing for both swimming and fishing with absolutely one of the best fire pits down by the river. Truly one of the best cabins we we have stayed in in the 20 years of renting cabins in western NC....would readily re-rent...and I can't say that about many places we have stayed at over the years. Just a couple of caveats to consider, though not the owners fault, the neighbor across the water likes to target practice on his property....it's a free country, BUT be aware if you have pets or children it may be something to consider as the gun shots are loud. Second be careful with the oven...it has some issues and smoked so badly the first time we used it that it set off the fire alarms. Again both issues are minor ...but just some food for thought. All in all there were 8 of us and everyone agreed this was one of their favorite if not their very favorite overall cabin ever. RENT IT...you won't regret it!!

girls' weekend

We had the best time! The cabin is spacious and had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We were a short drive from downtown West Jefferson, as well as the Old Barn Winery. Although none of us had mobility challenges, if you do, keep in mind that the home is 3 levels, and has 50+ stairs down to the river. We hope to be back soon!

River Beauty

We had a wonderful time at Little Bird Cabin! The cabin was all that the owners had made it out to be and more! It is easily reachable from downtown West Jefferson, but once you get there, you feel as though you are many miles away from anything. The house is set up very nicely with multiple living areas and outside decks for enjoying the view and all of the beauty around you. We will most certainly be back!
