In Ashe Co. for a family event

Upon arrival we were delighted to find such a beautiful property. We found it extremely comfortable, clean, fully equipped kitchen, tastefully decorated, great attention to detail. Located on a quiet street but within sight of downtown West Jefferson. We would certainly choose this property again in the future.

This is a GREAT house!! You will not be disappointed

We were in town for our granddaughter’s birthday. From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described (and even better). The space was spotless, nicely decorated, and stocked with thoughtful touches that made me feel right at home. The bed was comfortable, the Wi-Fi was fast, and I appreciated the little extras like the coffee, and helpful hints around the home. The location was perfect—close to the cutest little downtown but still quiet and peaceful for a good night's rest.Communication with the host was top-notch. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and hassle-free stay. Thanks again for such a fantastic experience!

Great Home-Perfect for Walking to Town

The house was clean, cozy and felt like a home. They have everything you could possibly need and it's well organized so you're not searching for stuff. A short walk down the hill and you're in town. (Walking back up hill is great exercise)! The farmer's market is always a good time. Red Dog Bar & Bistro had good food and live music and we always hit Havana Cafe when in W. Jefferson. We've booked 4 other VRBOs in W. Jefferson and this is the best so far. Thanks Michele

2nd time stay

This is the 2nd time my friend and I stayed here while attending a workshop. This home is perfect for us with two bedrooms and two baths. It is quiet, has a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. At the end of the day, it is a great place to come back and relax, but close enough to town and restaurants.if you wanted to check them out.

Charming and Convenient

Very well equipped, clean, and convenient to walk to restaurants and downtown. Nice landscaping in a traditional brick charmer!! Both bedrooms are equally suited so if traveling with two couples no "tossing a coin" for the better bedroom or bath. Quiet neighborhood. Owner was very responsive to questions. Would highly recommend and when visiting West Jefferson would certainly consider this a great option.

Great location with everything you need

We had a wonderful time at Carolina Place. The home is extremely clean, beautifully remodeled and updated, quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees, and just a short distance from downtown West Jefferson. The location was also convenient for exploring the surrounding area. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend the property and would stay here again.

A perfect place to stay in West Jefferson!

This house is wonderful! It's cozy and clean. The bath towels are big and soft! The bed linens are comfortable. The kitchen has anything you could want. The yard is well kept. We were greeted on our first day by a flock of cardinals. Beautiful. Love being close to downtown. And a nice surprise...Church bells play songs at noon and 6 pm. This is gem of a place!
