About this property

Secluded Cottage with Screened Porch, WiFi, and smart TVs

Escape to this peaceful mountain retreat at 3000 feet elevation with beautiful views, a huge screened porch, and total privacy just minutes from town.

Located less than 10 minutes from Downtown West Jefferson, The Cottage is close to festivals, art galleries, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and the Ashe County Cheese Factory. Boone is 25 minutes away, Appalachian Ski Resort 45 minutes, and Beech and Sugar Mountain are about an hour.

Inside, you will find a cozy living room and bedroom with Smart TVs and YouTube TV, a fully equipped kitchen with cookware, silverware, and small appliances, and a dual coffee maker that brews either drip or K-cups. A washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

A charcoal grill is located outside for guest use. Please bring your own charcoal.

WiFi provides broadband speeds up to 100 Mbps, perfect for streaming or remote work. There is no landline, and cell service can be spotty in the mountains, so WiFi calling is recommended.

Guests who enjoy the water will find two nearby public river access points:
• Highway 163 Access, less than 5 minutes away, ideal for kayak or tube launches on the South Fork New River.
• Elk Shoals Access (New River State Park – Elk Shoals), about 10 minutes away, featuring a sandy beach, picnic area, and easy wading.

Cottage Lane forms a loop that connects back to pavement on both ends. Simply follow the gravel road past the house and it will return to the main road. There is no need to turn around at the property. A hand-drawn map showing the route is posted on the kitchen bulletin board.

Sorry, no pets.

Perfect place to get away, like Smoky Mountains without many people. Clean, quiet, very green. The gravel road is challenging to find. Look for a small sign off in the trees and trust the process of the long gravel path. Beautiful place!

Spacious/secluded modern cabin on the side of the mountain. Very quiet and well maintained with mountain views and a nice riverside deck that can be accessed by a short drive down the hill.

This cabin was lovely and comfortable. The master bed was very comfortable. The view was great. We saw deer on multiple days and a fox. The water pressure in the shower was strong. The screen porch was a big plus!

Amazing location!

My husband and I stayed here for a childfree weekend and what a relaxing experience it was! Convenient location not far from West Jefferson. The river front access was also a fun addition. Host was great to communicate with, and made sure we had everything we needed. We plan to come back but bring the kids!

Peaceful Place.

This cabin was exactly as listed. It was extremely clean, which is a must for me. I absolutely loved the screened in porch. It was also clean which was great.. The only negative that we had was the limited space to park. There was plenty of room to park but actually turning into the space was impossible in an F250. We had to back into the space and then back up the entire distance to the main road. There was nowhere to turn around. Other than that, everything was great and we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway!

We had a wonderful stay here. The bedroom setup - a king in the master and bunk beds in the second room- was perfect for our family with two little ones (and the king bed was very comfortable)! The screened in porch was lovely to use and the house had a perfect amount of amenities. Jennifer was extremely responsive and welcoming. Thank you!

Great short getaway

We enjoyed our 3 night getaway in this remarkably quiet home tucked in the woods with an amazingly sized screened in deck for evening book reading and hanging out. Two adults and 2 teens had enough space in the VERY clean and well maintained two-bedrrom/1bath space. It's a quick car ride into West Jefferson to do a little dining and shopping (both Ingels and Walmart within 10 minutes) and this isn't house related but Havana Cafe cuban sandwich was chef's kiss.Cabin is stocked with enough equipment and dining ware to make meals there (outdoor charcoal grill grate needs a little rigging to work properly). If there was a gas grill we didn't see it. The river deck and recreation area were a little underwhelming and not actually great for river access or fishing which was a slight disappointment; however, the house is located close to other New River access areas (Elk Shoals, 88 Bridge, and Wagoner). We opted to drop kayaks at 88 and paddle/fish to Wagoner. The check-in and check-out were both a breeze (love that there wasn't a mile long list of things to do for check-out). Jen even let us know that we could check in a bit earlier than usual.

Great place to stay

Such a cute home, with the best back porch ever! Was in town for a wedding and it was perfect for our needs. The only thing I would comment on is the driveway. Make sure you have 4WD, it is a tight turn. Also, couldn't find an iron or ironing board; would've been helpful for our wedding attire. Would DEFINITELY stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Moore

Host profile image
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.
