If nature had a secret hideout, this would be it. With 30 private acres to roam and a scenic stream steps away, Cabin at Cranberry Mill is like a mountain getaway straight out of a movie. Enjoy sunrise coffee by the water, laughter beneath the trees, and cozy comfort wherever you look.
Sleeping arrangements: Sleeps four guests in two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and en suite bath. An additional sun bed resides on the screened-in deck for when you need a nap or a restful sleep to the sounds of flowing water.
Main level: This one-floor home has plenty of space to spread out and relax. The inviting great room features a gas fireplace and a large TV. An open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, kitchen, and dining areas, with large windows letting in natural light. Charming wood paneling and cathedral ceilings complete the cozy cabin feel of this home.
Cabin at Cranberry Mill comes with WiFi, AC, and streaming-enabled TVs.
All Stay Blue Ridge vacation rentals include a complimentary starter pack with soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and trash bags.
The expansive screened-in deck is like a whole second home, with a table and seating for dining al fresco, plush arm chairs, and an inviting daybed with pillows and blankets waiting for you.
This property is practically a private park, with 30 acres of land to explore and a tree-lined trout stream just steps away from your front door. Rapids and boulders add extra character and scenic delight to your waterfront views.
Bring your fishing gear, binoculars, cameras, and hiking boots so that you can take full advantage of your natural surroundings and its abundant wildlife. The stream is catch-and-release, so cast your lines and settle in.
On chilly nights, warm up by the creekside firepit in Adirondack seats. Bring your marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers for s’mores under the stars.
Games, games, games galore! Cabin at Cranberry Mill has cornhole, bocce ball, croquet, and horseshoes for you to enjoy at your leisure.
There is more than enough to do on this property to keep you entertained for your entire trip, but we highly recommend you take the 20-minute journey to downtown West Jefferson for a day of shopping and a night out on the town. See cheese made at Ashe Co. Cheese Factory, try local brews at New River Brewery, and grab a bite to eat at Red Dog Bar & Bistro. If you’re out on a Saturday night, check out Boondocks Brew Haus for live music and delicious drinks. You’re also minutes away from Thistle Meadow Winery, so head out for a wine tasting or one of the winery’s many events.
The High Country has no shortage of outdoor recreation. Fish, hike, bike, paddle, whatever your heart desires. You’re within 20 minutes of New River access points and local outfitters if you want to spend a day floating on the water. If you want to venture a little further out, take the 45-minute drive up to Grayson Highlands State Park, where you can explore miles of scenic hiking trails and look for the park’s residents—wild miniature ponies!
Boone is roughly an hour away but well worth the drive. With even more shopping and dining options, you can spend a whole day in the home of Appalachian State University. Boone and the nearby town of Blowing Rock are close to several Blue Ridge Parkway access points, where you can discover popular hiking trails like Rough Ridge and the famous Linn Cove Viaduct. While the parkway is beautiful year-round, it’s especially breathtaking during autumn when the fall foliage turns the mountains into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Fall is also the time to catch an App State football game.
Visiting in the winter? Turn your trip to Boone into a day of fun on the slopes of Appalachian Ski Mountain. You can ski, snowboard, snow tube, and ice skate. If you’re new to snow sports, App Ski Mountain offers lessons for beginners of all ages.
Pet Policy: Up to two dogs welcome. Must be leash and crate trained, two years or older, and 25lbs. or less. $50 per pet, nonrefundable.
Access: A short gravel drive leads into this property from paved main roads. We recommend 4WD/AWD when traveling in the mountains during winter.
Security Disclaimers: External cameras monitor public areas on the exterior of the house to keep an eye on nosy critters and check winter road conditions.

The minute we drove onto the property we were so impressed. The property is gorgeous! We had no idea it would feel so private and to ourselves. The river was lovely. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was very clean. They had everything we needed and more. We can’t wait to come back in the spring/summer! My only complaint was that it was a little crowded on the desk and kitchen counters where would have like more space to put our things but that’s because they had a lot of things for guest so can’t really complain too much about that. We will be back!- Kaley , Posted: 01/19/2026
We were very pleased with the unit. Very clean and well- Calvin , Posted: 09/26/2025
This is our third time staying at this beautiful cabin and each time we leave more in awe. The property is one of the most gorgeous and relaxing settings anywhere - a true slice of heaven. The photos you take look unreal, but it’s exactly what you see. The cabin is so well stocked and the screened porch was perfect for enjoying a meal, listening to the stream, relaxing. The herb garden and flowers were also so lovely! We just cannot say enough about this beautiful, beautiful property and we cannot wait to return!
--Wow — thank you for such a wonderful review and for being a repeat guest! We’re so glad this special cabin continues to amaze you each stay. Your kind words mean the world, and we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! 🌿✨- Jennifer , Posted: 09/11/2025
Always a great and time of reflection and refresh going to Cabin at cranberry mill!- Myra , Posted: 09/01/2025
We loved staying at this cabin for a week, especially relaxing in the big screened-in porch right next to the creek. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, and nice sized showers to use at the end of the day. There is a great fishing hole right by the house where we caught several types of fish. If you enjoy tubing down the river, there is a great place really close by as well.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a relaxing week at the cabin and especially enjoyed the screened-in porch by the creek—it’s such a peaceful spot. It sounds like you made the most of the area too with fishing and tubing nearby. We’re happy to hear the home had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, and we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure by the river!
Thank you,
Stay Blue Ridge Management- Joshua , Posted: 08/10/2025
This is a gem that you want to keep to yourself. It isn’t for everyone, only those that love the outdoors, appreciate wildflower plantings, comfy chairs to relax in and great taste in furnishing's. Seriously, I couldn’t believe we have the same taste in silverware, portmerion, unique lamps, rugs, chairs and pillows. How could I not feel at home! My only compliant - we only stayed 3 nights. Until next time!! Oh, and the concerts at the Old Barn winery — not to be missed!
--What a wonderful review—thank you! We’re thrilled you felt right at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches. Sounds like you truly embraced the area too! We’ll hope for a longer stay next time!- Alyson , Posted: 07/24/2025

We wanted secluded, lots of land, water and it delivered!! My son also loved sleeping outside on the screened porch and has already asked to make it our vacation spot each summer! Not a single complaint!- Katie , Posted: 06/30/2025
Your house is so beautiful. The whole atmosphere was wonderful. Very excellent! We sooooo enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for everything!- Kelly , Posted: 10/20/2024
Evan with a hurricane and no power this place is wonderful. Will definitely come back a third time- Myra , Posted: 09/29/2024
We love this place so much, I almost don't want to leave a review! I want it to be available every time we want to go! If you like solitude, but with all the comforts of a modern home (great kitchen, a bazillion tv channels, strong wi-fi), this is the place. The screened deck over Cranberry Creek might be our favorite part. Or maybe it's the apple trees and raspberry bushes and tomato plants and herb garden, just waiting to be gathered and used in the well-appointed kitchen. Or maybe it's the creek itself, with the trout and minnows and the occasional heron or osprey or bald eagle. Or maybe it's that West Jefferson with all its charm is close by (but not too close). Whatever it is, we keep coming back, and we hope to for a long, long time.- Cameron , Posted: 09/24/2024
The property is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Even watched some deer come up and enjoy apples off of one of the apple trees. Would definitely stay again!- Shawn , Posted: 09/07/2024
The most perfect place to unwind and take in the beauty of nature! One of our favorite cabins so far.- Mallory , Posted: 07/31/2024
The best place on earth. We got away for a quiet and relaxing weekend and it delivered. A beautiful place and will definitely do it again- Myra , Posted: 06/16/2024
I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay for our New Year's getaway. The house was very clean and the scenery was absolutely stunning! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!- Jeffery , Posted: 01/03/2024
Had a lovely relaxing weekend- Susan , Posted: 11/05/2023
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The cabin was great and very clean and the property was beautiful! We enjoyed some great trout fishing, exploring the property, and relaxing by the river. We had our kids and dogs with us and the e space was perfect for them both. Would definitely like to return one day!- Amy , Posted: 10/29/2023
This is the second time we've stayed at the Cabin, and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. The setting couldn't be better, the house is well-appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed apples (and a pear!) from the trees, and tomatoes and basil still growing in the garden. The bed on the screened porch is the best idea ever, and we enjoyed many lazy hours out there in the recliners, at the table, or dozing, listening to the water. We plan to return as soon as possible - thank you for sharing your lovely spot with us!- Cameron , Posted: 10/16/2023
Couldn't ask for anything more! Perfect- James , Posted: 08/08/2023
Creekside cabin is an awesome property with wonderful Cranberry Creek views. It is a well maintained and clean 2 BR, 2 Ba home. We saw a deer and its babies as well as a rabbit on the property. The steep driveway heading out caused my tires to spin a bit on my front wheel drive suv, but this is the only negative about this beautiful property. We will definitely be staying here again.- Jonathan , Posted: 07/31/2023
The cabin at cranberry creek was awesome and suited our needs beautifully. Very long creek access and views on the cabin grounds. The cabin has 30 acres but only about 4 acres was accessible due to trees and heavy underbrush. We saw a few deer and a bunny. Inside the cabin were two bedrooms with attached bathrooms,a large open kitchen, dining room and den. There was a huge screened in porch on the back of the cabin with plenty of seating options. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return here next year. The driveway exiting the property is a little steep. We lost traction on the gravel right at the top of the driveway, even being in low gear in our front wheel drive suv.
--Thank you for the awesome review! Steady speed on uphill gravel roads/driveways is best practice. We look forward to hosting you again soon.- Jonathan , Posted: 07/24/2023
We stayed in this cabin for the new year. Was a bit of a drive from Atlanta, GA but SO WORTH IT! Spacious, very clean, quiet, and tranquil place. The house was comfortable and had everything that one would need for indoor or outdoor activities. The kitchen was fully stocked with every possible item we might need throughout our stay. The massage chair was a big hit. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to others seeking an escape from everyday life 😃- Julia , Posted: 01/13/2023
We were in awe of the setting of this cottage! The cottage has all the comforts of home, well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed walking the waterfront, sitting by the firepit. Visited Blowing Rock on Saturday for shopping and a great lunch at the Speckled Trout. Highly recommend staying here!- Lynette , Posted: 10/31/2022
This is the best rental we've ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and well provisioned. The property is amazing with the creek running through. Thank you for making this special place available! We would definitely stay again.- Jill , Posted: 09/23/2022
Such a fantastic place to stay.- Renee , Posted: 07/02/2022
This property is gorgeous. The owners have provided everything you can think of and more!! Clean and comfortable. 2 masters with comfortable beds. Every appliance and kitchen gadget you would ever want. New gas BBQ grill. Beautiful and comfortable furniture. Breathtaking views. Impeccable grounds with fresh herbs and berries. Wouldn't change a thing! We will be back.- Deborah , Posted: 06/14/2022
We give the Cabin at Cranberry Mill 5 stars!!! The cabin was perfect for the 4 of us. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans and appliances for cooking all meals. The best feature was the huge screened in porch right! We spent most of our time on the porch. Great place for reading, relaxing, eating meals and playing board games. The fishermen in the group had a lot of fun fishing. The property is beautiful. Nice fire pit, wonderful hammock right next to the water. Would highly recommend!- Sandy , Posted: 06/07/2022
Beautiful property! Well appointed kitchen, Thanksgiving dinner was a breeze even in a different location. Quiet, peaceful and we had so much fun!!- Michelle , Posted: 12/14/2021
For weeks prior to coming I stared at the pictures of this place and imagined how awesome it was going to be. It definitely delivers on satisfaction. Cabin is well appointed ! better than most I've stayed at and we rent 3 to 4 times a year. You dont lack for anything ! Not the right time of year for fishing but if it were thats an awesome location. The back porch is the best feature ! It is screened and gated and set has a bed and recliners. Nice place to curl up and listen to nature. Drove over from Clemmons so its only an hour and a half away. Most definitely coming back ! Dave and Ronda Clemmons NC- David , Posted: 11/28/2021
This is one of the best places I have stayed at! It was beyond beautiful! The house was super clean and comfortable, the sounds and views of the river were so amazing and relaxing. The owners did a great job at sharing the history of this property and making our trip magical. We hope to go back soon.- Jessica , Posted: 11/22/2021
We had a great time, Beautiful fall weather. The Cabin was immaculate, everything you could need. The Flowing New River outside the cabin was so calming. You can't go wrong with this vacation haven.- Ann , Posted: 11/01/2021
Beautiful Setting and cabin. Very well furnished. Had fresh tomatoes and herbs available for picking. Very quiet and secluded- Tom , Posted: 10/27/2021
We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice home and beautiful property. We loved exploring on the hugh yard. The creek was awesome. Sitting on the screen porch watching and listening to the water was very relaxing. Hope to go back to this spot for another vacation in the future.- Martha , Posted: 10/02/2021
This cabin on the creek is wonderful! We highly recommend and will be back again!- Elizabeth , Posted: 09/13/2021
Beautiful, peaceful setting next to the water, huge meadow, clean, open, plenty of towels and modern equipment.- Lawrence , Posted: 08/21/2021
Wonderful vacation on the Creek! The house was exactly as described and advertised. Everything was wonderful and exactly what we were hoping it would be.- Taylor , Posted: 08/02/2021
Beautiful
We stayed for a week in June at The Cabin at Cranberry Mill and it was ideal. The house was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. It was a wonderful week. The house was very nice, the kitchen was beautiful, the beds were comfortable. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and spent considerable time reading and dozing to the sound of Cranberry Creek flowing by. There was plenty of room outdoors where our dog, Ginger, played catching the frisbee in the yard and then cooled off in the stream. We had great success flyfishing and caught (and released) about a dozen or so good sized trout. There wasn't much reason to leave the house - but we did. We met several nice neighbors, went to the winery - which was lovely, hiked some great trails in New River State Park and Mt Jefferson, floated the New River, drove around looking at so many beautiful barn quilts, and visited the lovely towns of West Jefferson, Sparta and Lansing. And ended the week enjoying the outdoor music at Ashe County Park. I might add that the house had big screen TVs in every room, but we didn't turn them on even once! Thank you for allowing us to use The Cabin at Cranberry Mill for an absolutely wonderful week. I should mention also that the folks at Stay Blue Ridge were so helpful and a delight to work with.- Anonymous U , Posted:
