The Ponderosa - 4BR/3.5BA Home w/Hot Tub, WiFi, & Near New River State Park
"The Ponderosa" - Jefferson, NC
From the moment you drive up to this luxurious mountain home you are sure to get the feeling of being on "The Ponderosa.”
Privately located in a quiet setting yet only 5 minutes to Jefferson it's the perfect escape from the busy world we live in.
The warm and inviting open great room offers cable TV, a stone fireplace with gas logs, and the upscale leather furniture welcomes you with a cozy, relaxing feeling.
A well-appointed kitchen with granite counters and wine bar is sure to please even the most discerning chefs in the family. A large pantry and laundry area is just off of the kitchen. Enjoy a family meal at the dining table while enjoying the sounds and view of the cascading waterfall outside.
Pure Indulgence features two master suites, one on each side of the cabin. The first is a spacious master suite with a comfy king bed, expansive windows that offers mountain views, and a bath with double vanities, an over-sized whirlpool tub for soaking your cares away, as well as a separate step-in shower. A large walk-in closet is great for storing clothing.
The second master suite also has a king bed and a bay window perfect for curling up with a good book! The private bath is outfitted with double vanities, another large Jacuzzi-whirlpool tub for relaxation, and a step-in shower as well.
The additional two bedrooms on the main level share a hall bath with a tub and shower combo. Each bedroom features a queen bed with elegant bedding and views of the mountains.
Downstairs, you will find an open family room with flat screen TV and sectional sofa - great for movie night with the family! This level also features a wet bar with small refrigerator for storing drinks and snacks. A set of twin bunk beds are also available for additional sleeping along with another half bath.
Out back, relax in the bubbling hot tub in the screened-in porch as you listen to the cascading waterfall that flows down to the Koi Pond. Another screened area offers seating for those just wanting to enjoy the sounds of nature.
You’re sure to want to take a stroll and enjoy the 75 acres that surround this property. Easy hiking and mountain views abound. Be sure to hike down to the hidden creek just at the edge of the property.
Located less than 2 miles from the New River (and a canoe rental company), and only 5 miles from Jefferson, this is the perfect vacation rental for those wanting to dine out, explore the area, fish or canoe the river. And the Blue Ridge Parkway is approximately a 10-minute drive. The New River State Park - Wagoner Access is 0.7 miles away. Bring your own canoe or tubes and head down for a fun day on the river. There is also picnic tables and grills provided as well at the New River State Park. So, call the family and plan your next vacation to the mountains today!
For some winter fun, head to one of our three most popular ski resorts: Appalachian Ski Mtn, Sugar Mtn, or Beech Mtn.
