About this property
Vogelsang guesthouse, 5 minute walk to downtown West Jefferson.
Fall is approaching the High Country and what better way to spend a crisp day than snuggled in our mountain guesthouse.
After traveling for 4 years, we settled in the charming town of West Jefferson, North Carolina, in an established neighborhood, a 5 minute walk to downtown shops, cafes and art galleries. We were thrilled our home included an artist's studio atop the garage, just behind our home, but decided we would prefer to use the studio for friends and family; a guesthouse close enough for socializing but far enough for everyone to have their own space. In between family and friends we are opening our guesthouse, Vogelsang (German for birdsong), to you, and whether you are a couple or solo traveler, we are committed to making you as comfortable as family.
There is ample off street parking, 15 stair steps to the studio and a small deck for enjoying views of Little and Big Phoenix Mountains. Inside is a queen bed with soft sheets, plenty of pillows (you can never have too many pillows), comforter and extra blankets for those cool nights in the mountains. The bath has a shower, toilet, small sink, towels and ample hooks. A dorm frig, microwave, coffee maker and coffee, is in the nook.
If you or your companion are super tall, you may find the 6'9" ceilings confining. The entry door is 5'8" and everyone instinctively ducks, even if they are only 5'2". But once inside, you will find everything you need for a cozy, comfortable stay. Wi-fi, TV, air conditioning, heat, peace and quiet!
When you are ready to explore downtown, a quick walk, or drive, through the Town park, past basketball, pickle ball and tennis courts, playground, the Ashe County Library, to all the activity and excitement of shops, cafes and galleries. Grab a coffee and sweet at Hatchet Coffee, lunch at an English Tea Room, a movie, or beer in the evening at one of two craft breweries. The trolley to the Old Barn Winery departs and returns downtown on the weekends on a regular schedule. Hop on and leave the driving to them. You can even choose your Christmas Tree while there.
If you are seeking a quiet, restful stay in a cozy guesthouse overlooking beautiful, landscaped grounds, stay with us. We'll be waiting for you, just like family!

About the host

Vogelsang Cottage is just a few steps from our home. We are the gardeners. We are the maintenance crew. We are the cleaning crew. If you need anything, we are here to help, whether it's advice on the best restaurant, the name of a flower or just to replace a lightbulb.
Why they chose this property
We visited this house on the Ashe County Studio Tour in August 2023 when the garage was a pottery studio and the guest house was an artist's studio. We immediately fell in love with the charming house and gardens! Little did we know the house would, unexpectedly, come up for sale two weeks later. In less than 24 hours, we made an offer and would soon become the VERY proud owners.
As Florida natives, we dreamed of escaping to the mountains and finally had an opportunity when we retired. But first, we wanted to travel, so we sold everything we owned and for 4 years roamed America in an RV with our dog Penny, even venturing overseas for a spell, looking for the perfect place to call home.
When we settled in West Jefferson, we realized we missed all the wonderful, fellow travelers we met on the road, and decided to bring those wandering souls to our home. Thus, we created Vogelsang Cottage where friends, family and weary travelers alike can find a home, even if only for a couple days.

What makes this property unique
If you are searching for bird song, a cozy, comfy peaceful retreat, off the beaten path, come to Vogelsang!
Now that autumn has given way to approaching winter, the mountains take on a serene calm. Snowy roads can present driving challenges but the Town of West Jefferson does an excellent job keeping roads cleared of snow.
