Homeplace 1936 sits just two blocks from the heart of West Jefferson, where you’ll discover art galleries, unique shops, restaurants, and seasonal events.

Here, you’ll find even more walking trails and hiking hot spots. In the winter, you can visit Appalachian Ski Mountain for a day on the slopes (there’s even snowtubing for youngsters and the young-at-heart).
The New River is about 20 minutes away and offers tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities, with many local outfitters available.
The surrounding mountains provide year-round recreation, including hiking, horseback riding, scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and vibrant fall foliage that will take your breath away.

The house was clean, cozy, and warm- the perfect setting for a girls weekend! We loved walking downtown, taking the trolley to the winery, shopping, and watching Christmas movies. We can't wait to come back next year for our third year!
---------What a fabulous girls’ getaway! ππ We love that Home Place set the scene for cozy nights, Christmas movies, and a little downtown fun — trolley rides to the winery sound like the perfect touch! π·β¨ We’re so happy this has become your annual tradition, and we’ll be counting down the days until year three of your girls’ weekend adventure. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more laughter, shopping, and holiday cheer! π- Amanda , Posted: 11/12/2025
A wonderful experience and visit. The Homeplace 1936 was well stocked with kitchen items. The agents were great to work with.- Patty , Posted: 10/29/2025
Thank you so much for an amazing visit. The home was beautiful. We felt so comfortable! The decor was outstanding, the beds were comfortable and all our needs were met. Stay Blue Ridge makes the process so simple and so accommodating Thank you
--Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re so happy you felt comfortable and enjoyed the home’s decor and amenities. And a big thanks for your kind words about our Stay Blue Ridge team — we truly appreciate it! Hope to host you again soon.- Linda , Posted: 09/22/2025
Great, walkable location.- Rebecca , Posted: 08/03/2025
Clean, bright, cute old house was just a block from everything in West Jefferson yet very quiet. No dishwasher, no washing machine (no problem for us). Kitchen was outfitted with basics as you'd expect - plus a french press. Great to have a bedroom and a daybed on the first floor. Plenty of linens, everything we needed. Convenient entry with lock box. West Jefferson was a perfect small town for a girls' weekend getaway. Do be aware the host and service fees add up to more than $300! So looking at the cost per night is very misleading, especially for a short stay (the fees more than doubled the weekend price).
--Thanks so much for the thoughtful review—we're glad you enjoyed the house and had a great girls’ weekend in West Jefferson! Fees from third-party platforms can really add up. For the best rates with no hidden costs, we always recommend booking directly with us. Hope to host you again soon!- Ashley , Posted: 03/17/2025
It is the cutest quaint little house. It has very vintage aspects but is super clean as well. The bath tub was adorable. The beds were comfy. We will definitely be back.- Jessica , Posted: 01/23/2025
This cottage was the perfect setting for my annual girls' mountain weekend. We loved how close it was to the coffee shop, restaurants, and shopping. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. The home is so cozy. The beds are HEAVENLY as are the linens and pillows. We loved the old charm of the kitchen and how the sun poured in each morning. We look forward to staying again next year. 10/10 stars! THANK YOU!- Amanda , Posted: 11/11/2024
Clean, well organized space. Convenient to downtown.- Lyla , Posted: 10/30/2024
Cutest house! Lots of period details and short walk to downtown. The folks at Stay Blue Ridge were very accommodating with a special request. There is no dishwasher but it would have spoiled the charm of the very clean and well appointed kitchen. Would stay again.- Nancy , Posted: 07/20/2024
We've stayed in this house before - loved it then and this time. House is clean, fully equipped with everything you need to cook meals or relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. It's a 2 minute walk to downtown and the neighborhood itself is very quaint and quiet. We would definitely stay there again!- Debra , Posted: 07/08/2024
This house is a perfect location for a family retreat. We used it for my son graduation from App State. Boone is an easy 30 minute drive and helps avoid the ridiculous hotel prices. My father has mobility issues. The street to the back door was flat and smooth. Ground floor master and bath also helped with his mobility issues. Two very cute and private bedrooms upstairs share a nice bathroom.- David , Posted: 05/15/2024
This home was cozy, comfortable, and such a peaceful retreat for me and my friends. It was a perfect place for us. Thank You!- Rebecca , Posted: 04/28/2024
This home is wonderful and it will continue to be the first place I check for availability when visiting West Jefferson. I fell in love with it and have stayed twice within a three month time frame.- Tonya , Posted: 04/17/2024
Very cozy, charming, and clean. Loved the antiques mixed with newer furnishings. The only negative would be the size of the bathrooms. They were on the tiny side with short toilets. Overall, we would stay here again.- Michelle , Posted: 02/20/2024
The house is very nice and in a good location to downtown. My wife loves old houses and she loved home's character, especially the kitchen. Thank you for a great stay.- Martin , Posted: 12/03/2023
Loved the house in West Jefferson - Homeplace 1936. Ended up, it was just my husband and I so plenty of room for the 2 of us, but definitely big enough for 6 people. While we didn't cook, there were plenty of utensils, cookware to cook meals. Bed was comfortable, couch/chair comfy to lounge in after a day of enjoying the area. Loved that we could walk downtown. The only negative for us was the driveway. It needs to be cleared a little more on the right side (going in) to make it easier to get in and out closer to the steps. Other than that, we would definitely rent again!- Debra , Posted: 10/17/2023
Perfect location! Around the corner from the Saturday Farmers Market. Not far from the main shopping/eating street. No complaints at all!- Melissa , Posted: 10/01/2023
We found the house neat and clean. Loved the throwback kitchen. Reminds me of my farm home . All in all I'm pretty sure we will stay there next year.- Roger , Posted: 08/25/2023
We really enjoyed our stay. The decoration style was really great. I was enthralled with the split use of the Hoosier cabinet in kitchen. The range took me waaaay back to my childhood - nothing we could buy today would last that long and still work. We enjoyed our daily walks downtown and the hills of park and library.- Rebecca , Posted: 08/16/2023
There were a few minor issues but overall this is a great property - I've stayed here several times over the past few years and have always really enjoyed it! It's within an easy walk of many downtown restaurants and shops and we also discovered a new Asian restaurant on the outskirts of downtown on this trip that we enjoyed a lot.- Sudi , Posted: 08/03/2023
What a beautiful, relaxing place to spend some time.- Tracy , Posted: 07/16/2023
Loved this house. We only used the downstairs because there was just two of us. The house had everything we needed and was nice to be able to walk to town.- Clare , Posted: 07/07/2023
Homeplace 1936 was peaceful, quiet and relaxing! We enjoyed the location in walking distance to town! We loved the antique furniture. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The furnishings in the kitchen took us back in time. Awesome! I loved the shower upstairs! The living room furnishings were very comfortable! It was a great vacation experience! Looking forward to our next adventure! A special Thank You to Jerrita for working with us on a very last minute reservation! It was much needed and very much appreciated!- Cindy , Posted: 06/07/2023
We really enjoy this little home. Very cozy yet lives larger! We have been 2x this year, will schedule a couple more times for 2023. Clean, bright and very comfortable. The kitchen appliances, kitchen sink and lack of dishwasher is actually quite charming. Great yard to let kids play in with supervision (small creek). Never needed to call the management company during the stay but the times I did, prior to arrival, I found the staff very helpful (Pam). Thanks - jason- Jason , Posted: 05/10/2023
Very cute home! We loved the convenience to downtown. Plenty of space for 3 couples. We hope to stay again sometime.- Shannon , Posted: 04/16/2023
We very much enjoyed 301 College. The decor was so inviting and the home flowed so well. We were married in WJ 12 yrs ago, the town has changed so much. We have already started checking dates to return to this home. Thank you- Jason- Jason , Posted: 02/21/2023
This charming vintage cottage is in the perfect location in downtown West Jefferson. So convenient to everything. Having sold my home I needed somewhere to stay while waiting to close on the house I purchased. Exciting but at times stressful. Every day that I walked in the door to this cottage helped to ease the stress away. I loved the vintage kitchen, the very comfortable bed, the lovely sunroom, comfy living room and dining area. Wonderful place.- Susan , Posted: 01/14/2023
My group of friends and I really enjoyed this place. It has the prefect location in downtown West Jefferson, comfortable beds, great amount of space inside, great amenities, but just all around a must stay when coming to West Jefferson. We had no issues with the place. Plan to come back and stay next year for when we come to get our Christmas Tree again!- Madison , Posted: 12/04/2022
Loved the location and the house was spotless!- Denise , Posted: 10/20/2022
Great property and location!- Erin , Posted: 10/15/2022
All good with the only exception being the cooking situation. We enjoy cooking while on vacation. While the oven was quite retro, the temperature controls was not very good. Thanks
--Thank you for the feedback. We'll have appliance repair take a look at the oven.- Clark , Posted: 10/11/2022
Beautiful home with plenty of room. Comfy beds and the home was clean and comfortable. Check-in was easy and walking distance to downtown which was great. There is no ice maker or ice trays to make ice…this is the only thing I wish the home had. Overall, great house and great time was had by all.
--Thanks for the wonderful review and suggestion. We're adding the ice trays this week.- Donna , Posted: 08/21/2022
Loved this adorable house! Everything was very cozy snd comfortable. Great job redoing this house. Will stay againπ- Laura , Posted: 08/16/2022
We had a wonderful time! Everything was immaculate! The furniture was comfortable and went with the whole beautiful decor! Felt like home! Great location ! Thank you!!!!- Erich , Posted: 07/17/2022
Very nice little vintage cottage feel. Beds were super comfortable, 5 min walk to main strip in town. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Felt very clean and well taken care of. Definitely would recommend and will be staying again soon.- Jason , Posted: 06/30/2022
This house is older but they’ve done a great job updating the inside. Beds are super comfortable. Super quick walk down into town.
