Comfortable cozy cabin close to the river

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Close enough to West Jefferson for short grocery and dinner/shopping trips, but felt secluded enough with a nice view of the river. Jeff was very accommodating and quick to answer. We'd definitely stay again.

A wonderful stay in the mountains

I just can't say enough about this wonderful property. The cabin is perfect...well stocked, super clean, private, comfortable, relaxing, feels remote but it's only 10-15 minutes to 'town,' view of the New River from the back, private deck.

Our family loved spending a week at this wonderful cabin with access to the New River. The cabin was clean and filled with so many convenient and thoughtful extras. The only thing that would have been better would be having more time to spend in this gorgeous and relaxing property..The owners were super responsive and very pleasant.

New River Ridge log cabin

I would highly recommend this lovely vacation home! It was in a beautiful location just 15 minutes from West Jefferson and near many hiking trails, with the added benefit of access to the New River. It was clean, nicely decorated and well appointed. We also enjoyed the back deck tucked into the treetops. Book a few nights you won’t be disappointed!

Wonderfully cozy vacation.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at what we called the ‘cozy cabin’. The location was great. Nicely tucked away in nature but still not too far from stores for picking up groceries and such. Everything was super clean and we had a great time on vacation.
