West Jefferson is a wonderful area. We have been there many times and found lots of things to do for every season. The cabin is bigger than it looked on the website. Lots of room, the kitchen had everything that we needed. We hiked, played Pickleball, and golf. We also enjoyed meals in West Jefferson and Boone.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Spicer

Host profile image
My wife and I live I the Chapel Hill/Durham area with our three young children. We both grew up visiting the NC Mountains for vacations and fell in love with idea of having a place of our own! The West Jefferson area provides rest and relaxation along with many places to visit. The quaint downtown offers all you could imagine in a small town; including a cheese factory. The Boone/Blowing Rock area is just a short 30 minute drive. Our family enjoys visits to Mast General Store, mining for gems, picnicking on the Parkway and tubing the New River. The river also provides kayaking, fishing and rafting.

Why they chose this property

RUSTIC RETREAT combines the privacy of a mountain cabin away from others while only a short 15 minute drive from grocery, restaurants, hiking.

What makes this property unique

The small town of West Jefferson, with it's quaint storefronts and friendly people, make this country town a great place to relax!
