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 propane 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). There is also a desk up there for your online work hours. 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.

We had a great time with family. Plenty of space for everyone. I love the extra little touches that made the cabin feel like home. Debbie and Al were great and very responsive when we had questions as well.
The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Location was great. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs, taking walks, and enjoying the hot tub.

Glad you had a great time. This time of the year is perfect at the cabin!
This is a must book! Beds were comfy, kitchen was stocked, the hosts were cordial and attentive. This cabin has everything you need to relax in any season. The location is convenient with plenty of small town charm just down the road. If you’re thinking about booking it, do it!

Thanks for your stay and write up of our mountain getaway. I agree, and with the hot tub on the porch we are perfect for every weather! Even today as it's lightly snowing.
Great property. This was our second visit. My only complaints are no ceiling fans in the bedrooms and all of the pots and pans are old and the coatings are scratched terribly.

Thanks for your review. We are looking into new cookware at this time.
The riverside cabin was an excellent place to stay! We had a small group and really enjoyed everything about the house, from the location on the river, to the very nice hot tub and outside setting with plenty of table space, chairs, and speakers.It's noticeable the owners really care for and enjoy spending time at this house, i would fully recommend it for anyone's West Jefferson area stay.
Relaxing porch and hot tub, lots of perks like tubes for the river, a smore pit, a high quality grill, a hammock, easy check in and check out, great wifi, surround sound speakers, convenient to stores yet rural and private. We'd love to visit again.
Property was very private and had a large grassy area by the river that the kids could play on. House was nicely stocked and beds were comfortable. Would stay here again.
House has everything a large family could need... great location into town to see cheese factory plus river tubing. Core memories were made here with cousins to celebrate a 9th birthday.
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!

Thanks so much for your review. We loved having you and do hope you come back!
This was one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The house was beautiful and easy to find. Everything was clean and accessible. We will be booking again!
We had an absolute blast touring the surrounding areas, going snow tubing, ice skating and just relaxing on property. Our foster girls have never seen snow before, so this trip was filled with new memories.
Our group of 11 had a wonderful time spending the Christmas holidays at this cabin. The host was fabulous with communication and check in/out was super easy. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for adding extra Christmas ornaments to our tree! It's great to share with such nice guests.
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.
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.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Al and Debbie Bandy
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.
