Great location, enjoyed the views, house was clean, beds were comfortable, it would be nice to have firewood furnished and to have local tv channels. The parking was perfect for one car at the end of the gravel walking path to the stairs. Thank you so much, enjoyed our stay.

Very cozy house in a beautiful neighborhood. Great proximity to the river which was great for intertubing with our family. Only complaint was the coffee maker didn't work. Otherwise everything was great!

Very nice place. Great view from both the deck and from inside through the large windows. I would caution that this is not a good place for someone with mobility issues, as the walk from the parking area is steep.

This chalet was exactly what we were looking for. We loved sitting on the porch and there were 4 comfortable rocking chairs which was perfect for our party. The view was amazing and the setting was very private, even though we had homes on both sides. We could hear the river from the deck which was shaded until 11 and after 4. We were there at the end of August and was very comfortable. The driveway was too steep to park in but we had room for our two cars at the bottom. It was a bit of a trek to the house.
There were plenty of electrical outlets and all were labeled making it easy to control lights and fans. There was plenty of hot water and great water pressure in the showers. WiFi was great, and we didn’t use the tv so couldn’t verify!
We loved hiking trails at Moses Cone and Jefferson State Park. We would recommend the property and hope to book again!

Great house with an awesome view of the mountains. Driveway too steep to park in and road was only wide enough for 1 car, luckily the whole week we only encountered 1 vehicle. Overall great week

The cabin was stocked and clean. The view from the balcony is what really won us over. We had an incredible stay and will hopefully be back again soon. I highly recommend this stay!

We spent an amazing two weeks at this home at the beginning of June (not too hot out yet!). We cannot recommend this place enough! Spacious, cozy, and truly in the most beautiful natural environment. Great quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Close to tons of great hiking, swimming, boating, horseback riding, fishing, and more. The view from the back porch is purely mountains and forest—No civilization in sight :) I was initially concerned about what kind of access we would have to groceries, as we keep kosher and I am vegan, but it turns out there are a few towns nearby (about 20 min drive) with everything you need. We were very impressed by the selection at Ingles (the grocery chain) in West Jefferson—Has tons of options for all dietary needs. We also recommend the trail ride at Hidden Pastures Trails!

Reviewer Comments:
Very Quiet location with fantastic views!! It is on top of the mountains not close to the New River and long walk down hill. With a slight change in plans, we still enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend to friends and have on the list to come back. One thing that needs to be shared is to let us know the driveway is a steep incline. We were glad that we came in one vehicle. There is little parking space at the end of the street.

This was a lovely cabin on top of the mountain. We particularly enjoyed fishing in the river at the neighborhood entrance. We never did find the lake, but that’s ok - we stayed busy without it. If you like fishing, River Girl Fishing Company in Todd Is a great resource. Not sure why so many complaints about the “driveway” – it’s really more of a parking spot as it doesn’t go all the way up to the house, but not a big deal. We just parked at the bottom of the hill, on the road. But it is true that it is not for those with mobility issues. We love that it was dog friendly, although there wasn’t much of a yard to speak of. House smelled nice and was generally clean, although there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I’d recommend a newer TV as it won’t display HD channels, but the cable and Internet worked well. Be prepared to feel the effects of the high elevation, but the view is worth it!

Great getaway to the Blue Ridge mountains. This cabin is on a hilltop in a community with very narrow roads just to warn you, but well worth the adrenalin boosting ride! This sits on top of the mountain overlooking the New River below. It’s a gorgeous view from the main and loft levels as well as the great deck. Fireplace wonderful, may want to make sure there is dry firewood before you arrive;) Simply stocked essentials with everything we would need. Very cozy and felt like home. Would love to stay here again when in the area

The cabin was great and very clean. As mentioned by others we agree that the ride up the mountain was very tight and the driveway wasn't an option for our vehicle but we were easily able to park on the road at the end of the driveway. We walked from the cabin down to Fleetwood Falls and it was well worth the walk. It was about 17 minutes each way. We would definitely stay again. Beautiful views and felt secluded.

Overall very happy with our stay, the place was a good size for a family of 4. 2 bedrooms and loft beds could fit a couple more sleeping but it might be cramped in the living area. Location was great up the top of a mountain cabin village. The drive up the mountain at first was a bit tight...small single lane road. Would be a tough drive in snow if you don't have the right vehicle.Community pond was nice area to fish but I think they need to restock. My one suggestion is to put a fire pit in the yard, it would be a great touch. Would consider staying here again.
