Rustic River Escape is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom cabin tucked away in the woods with river frontage access. Located about 15 minutes to Downtown West Jefferson in Ashe County. Sleeps up to 8 guests, ping pong, WIFI, central heat and AC, pets are considered with a separate fee, covered deck, fire pit and is a great way to unplug and unwind the hustle and bustle of everyday life! The access to the South Fork of the New River is a short hike down the walking path (no vehicles) to enjoy fishing or swimming. The hike is a steep but there is a designated clear path.

Our cabin is located approximately 15 minutes to downtown West Jefferson on a graveled country road. Front wheel drive vehicles will not have any issues. However, we do strongly recommend 4WD/AWD vehicles during the snowy/icy times of winter. Our cabin is not motorcycle friendly.

***3 night minimum for the months of July, August and October*** 

Main Floor: As you enter our cabin from the covered porch, you’ll walk in and find T&G wood with high ceilings in the living room. Enjoy the gas stove in the living room during the cold fall/winter days and snuggle up to watch your favorite movie on the Roku TV (your login is needed). The kitchen is fully stocked including a Keurig maker and a regular coffee maker. There is access to the covered deck from the living room where you can enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature and the sounds of the nearby river. Enjoy making your favorite grilled dinner on our gas grill on the deck. 

There are 2 spacious queen size bedrooms and 1 full bathroom on the main floor. One of the queen beds has a Sleep Number bed for the ultimate comfort. 

 

Upper Floor: The master suite is located on the upper floor with an En Suite full bathroom and TV with Apple TV access. The loft is great for reading, taking a nap or just relaxing with a futon (not for sleeping). 

 

Lower Level: The lower level is amazing and there is plenty of seating, Roku TV, another gas fireplace, and everyone will enjoy a friendly game of Ping Pong! There are several books to read as well.

The 4th bedroom is located on the lower level with 2 twin beds and a full bathroom. The full size washer/dryer is also just off the bedroom for your convenience. There is a lower deck with seating to relax and take it all in. 

 

Pet Policy: At "Rustic River Escape", we believe that nobody should be left behind. Why leave your pet at home when you can bring them along for the adventure. Well behaved dogs are welcome for a 1 time nonrefundable pet fee of $100 per dog plus tax (sorry, but no cats allowed).  

 

Outside: Create new memories, roast marshmallows, roast hot dogs or just sit around and listen to the crackle of the wood in our fire pit in the yard (firewood not provided). Take a short hike down to the river and go fishing (fishing license required), swimming, or enjoy the sounds of the river. There is plenty of room outside to roam and explore. Take long walks on the graveled road, enjoy your favorite beverage on the covered decks, grill your favorite meal on the gas grill, and breathe in our fresh mountain air! This is a true mountain experience!

Rustic River Escape-Jefferson, NC Guest Comments
  •    We gathered to celebrate 3 birthdays and had a ball. The house afforded the 3 couples to have their own floor. The house was prefect for our group and had plenty of space for us to cook, and eat together. The trek to the river is a little much if you plan to spend time by the river. I hiked it twice a day, but I would not want to carry anything down or back up the trail. The location is perfect for a short trips into West Jefferson, the Southfork of the New River is beautiful.

  •    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful and the covered deck is just the perfect place to enjoy coffee and friends every morning. The sound of the river is so peaceful. We will be back! Best weekend ever with friends! Thank you so much for helping to make this vacation happen! Pam is wonderful and truly "called" to be in her position. She is so helpful with any question you may have and makes planning so easy! I enjoyed our conversations!

  •    My family enjoyed staying at the Rustic Retreat! My 87 year old dad was able to move around the main level with no issues. We could hear the river, which was beautiful! However, getting to it was too much for our group. We would stay at the Rustic River Retreat again.

  •    This property was very clean and provided enough space to spread out. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Neighbors, visiting and residents, were very friendly. Furniture in the main living area could use some updating but that is really the only negative we found. Views from the wrap around porch were gorgeous. The trail to the river was strenuous but gave all of us a good workout. Location was convenient to local shopping and trails. Overall our stay was very enjoyable.

  •    A lovely and comfortable cabin. We enjoyed hiking down to the river. When it rained, we had some friends came over, and we had lots of room to visit inside and outside on the covered porch.
