Positioned right along the banks of the New River, Mountain River Getaway offers a front-row seat to one of the High Country’s most peaceful natural settings. Designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, this one-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples or small families looking to spend their days close to the water and their evenings wrapped in the quiet mountain atmosphere.
Relax and watch the river float on from the covered porch, complete with rocking chairs perfect for lingering mornings and quiet evenings.
A second screened-in porch includes a picnic table, cushioned seats, and a wooden swing. It even has a ceiling fan for hot summer days.
Set yourself up for a cozy night by the water with the riverside fire pit.
A spacious yard stretches between the cabin and the river, offering room to play, unwind, or simply enjoy the open setting. Great for kids, dogs, and adults who are young at heart. Don’t forget your frisbees and outdoor games!
Direct private access to the New River allows you to step right into activities like fishing, wading, or floating. If you have your own boats and tubes, bring them along for a fun day out on the water. Watershoes always recommended.
Mountain River Getaway is located about 15 minutes from downtown West Jefferson and its plethora of restaurants, breweries, galleries, and local shops. Stop by Ashe County Cheese Factory for tons of tasty samples and to watch cheese being made, or catch the latest films at the historic Parkway Theater.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is just 5 minutes away, offering quick access to scenic overlooks and hiking trails. There’s something for everyone on the Parkway, whether you’re looking for a quiet picnic spot or a rigorous trail to spend the day on. For our autumn visitors, you’ll want to schedule enough time during your trip to take in the vibrant colors of the fall foliage.
Boone is roughly a 30-minute drive away and packed with even more restaurants, bars, and attractions. In the fall, you can catch a football game at Appalachian State University, while winter visitors can hit the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain. Blowing Rock is a quaint mountain town nearby as well that has so many amazing artisan shops and galleries.
The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to river activities, scenic drives, and seasonal mountain experiences.
Pet Policy: Up to 2 dogs welcome! Must be well-behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older, and 45 lbs or less. $50 nonrefundable fee per pet.
Access: Mountain River Getaway is easily accessible from the main roads and has a flat gravel driveway. We always recommend AWD or 4WD when traveling in the mountains, especially during the winter.
Security Disclaimers: External cameras face the yard to keep an eye on the property and road conditions when guests aren’t around.

This house was perfect! The location on the river with the large yard is beautiful. It was the perfect, peaceful getaway that I was looking for. Bonus points for being extremely clean and organized.- Shannon , Posted: 10/17/2025
Had a great time. Nice place to relax.- Larry , Posted: 10/06/2025
We had a great visit to this location. House was very clean, well furnished and great view of the river.- Larry , Posted: 09/22/2025
We love this place. Have already booked twice and plan on visiting again. Great location and such a beautiful view. Abundant wildlife. We saw deer, turkeys, geese, and an eagle flying down the river.
--Thank you so much for being a repeat guest — it means the world to us! Guests like you make what we do so rewarding, and we can’t wait to welcome you back again for your next stay. 🦅🦌🌄- Robert , Posted: 09/14/2025
We love staying here. It is so peaceful and quiet. The porches are fantastic! My family and I can’t wait to come back!
----We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the peaceful setting and those porches—they really are a favorite spot to relax! Thank you for sharing such kind words, and we’ll be excited to welcome you all back for more quiet mountain time whenever you’re ready.
--Stay Blue Ridge Management- Stacy , Posted: 09/08/2025
The porch gives you a comfortable rocking chair vantage of the New River. We enjoyed the great fire pit located near the river. The home was well equipped for cooking, grilling and lounging. West Jefferson is just a short ride away. We will definitely come back again.- Stephen , Posted: 09/07/2025
Emily, Colt and I had a wonderful stay. The property is perfect for a weekend getaway. The instructions were easy to follow, and the location of the house was perfect for easy access to the town, but private enough that we felt secluded for a mountain getaway. We hope to get back out to the property soon and hopefully during peak leaf season!
--We’re so glad you had a wonderful stay! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the balance of convenience and privacy. We’d love to have you back — especially for the beauty of leaf season!- Andrew , Posted: 08/13/2025
This was our 3rd visit to this property. It is a perfect gettaway for a couple to unwind. The weather was cool and gave us the much needed break from the heat! We only got to enjoy the firepit one evening because it was a little rainy. It still did not disappoint.
-------
We’re so glad to welcome you back for your 3rd stay! It’s wonderful to hear this spot continues to be the perfect getaway for you to relax and recharge. Even with a little rain, it sounds like you made the most of the cool weather and cozy firepit. Thank you for returning again—we look forward to hosting you next time!
Thank you,
Stay Blue Ridge Management- Kimberly , Posted: 08/10/2025
I miss the peaceful country home on the river. All you hear are birds and the small rapids on the river. No vehicle noise! Everything you need is in this comfortable home with the great river-faced porch and the large side screen porch. There is great hiking at Mt Jefferson and Elk Knob, along with the cute town of West Jefferson and the Old Barn Winery. Also, Stay Blue Ridge was great to work with.- Joseph , Posted: 06/20/2025
We had an amazing time and will be regulars at this location. It was so peaceful and relaxing!- Randy , Posted: 06/03/2025
Always a joy staying here!- Stacy , Posted: 04/02/2025
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and beautiful and in a very peaceful location. We will definitely return next year.- Dennis , Posted: 11/14/2024
We love this house and setting ! We will be back !- Lisa , Posted: 10/09/2024
We had a very relaxing much needed re-charge weekend at the Mountain River Getaway. We enjoyed sitting on the porches, listening to the soothing sounds of the river. The home was pristine and had everything we needed. You walk in to a warm welcome with snacks and water and an information filled binder. So helpful to have all the light switches labeled, thank you for that! The town of West Jefferson was having an antique fair during our visit, an added bonus. I almost hate to give it a good review because we want to keep it our little secret getaway. We are looking forward to future visits!- Donna , Posted: 09/27/2024
We enjoyed our mountain getaway vacation so much. The house was very clean and cozy and the location on the river was spectacular!- Randy , Posted: 09/02/2024
My husband and I had the most amazing time at this beautiful farmhouse. The peace and comfort it offered made us wish we could stay for a year or two! The cozy screened porch and the view of the river made us feel so calm and at ease. Even though we had some rain, it was still delightful to sit on the porch and watch the storms. The house was super clean, the beds were comfy, and the wifi was strong – everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we loved spending evenings on the porch with the deer in the yard. Stay Blue Ridge was awesome with their communication, and the house exceeded our expectations. Honestly, part of me wants to keep this place all to ourselves, but I know it's too good not to share! The location was perfect – easy to find and so peaceful at the end of the road. Huge thanks to the owner for sharing this little slice of paradise with us. May God bless them as much as they have blessed us. Already planning our next visit!- Becky , Posted: 08/20/2024
This is a wonderful place!!! Dogs will love it for mine did. Being right on the water, hearing the water, and seeing floaters past in the day is something to experience. Will be renting this again and just wished I owned it!- Dana , Posted: 08/14/2024
My husband and I celebrated my birthday while visiting Mountain Gettaway. It is a beautiful home and the scenery and wildlife are breathtaking. We plan to visit again soon!- Kimberly , Posted: 08/07/2024
Perfect mountain getaway!- Cassie , Posted: 07/28/2024
We enjoyed staying at the cabin and relaxing. It rained most of our stay but it was so peaceful and quiet. The river was high but we relaxed in the rocking chairs on the porch while we listened to it flow by. The screened in porch was my favorite spot to watch it rain and listen to it. So refreshing! We could see deer in the pasture across the fence and occasionally some would come in the yard! We had does with spotted fawns visit! I love the recliners in the living room! There's a fireplace but it wasn't needed. The bed was soft and cozy. I would definitely recommend this place for a couple! Not far from West Jefferson, our favorite place to visit. I hope we can stay here again! ❤️- Cindy , Posted: 07/27/2024
This was amazing, peaceful, relaxing and fun! Great family memories were made! Also, there are some crazy deer around. One tried to get into the house! I guess the apple trees out front weren't enough. It was nice to see the deer daily though. Both of the porches are amazing! We can't wait to come back! The house does have AC, but it is only one window unit so be prepared to use the provided fans to assist in movement of cool air from the bedroom to the living room and kitchen. We have a similar setup at home so this was just like home. We loved it! We would totally buy this property if the opportunity and circumstances ever presented themselves! We just want to go back!- Stacy , Posted: 07/24/2024
Our stay was a wonderful! The house was so comfortable and the setting is beautiful. The breezy screen porch with the sound of the river was our favorite spot! Lots of privacy, well stocked kitchen, good wifi. Husband enjoyed the fishing and our dog enjoyed the yard. Highly recommend.- Susan , Posted: 06/24/2024
We plan to go back soon. We loved the house and the gorgeous views! The river is beautiful and so peaceful. Our dog loved playing in the river, leashed of course. The firepit by the river was us! Everything we needed for cooking was provided. The bed was the most comfortable we have slept on at any hotel or rental we have visited.- Kimberly , Posted: 05/27/2024
If you're looking for peaceful, quiet seclusion, it doesn't get any better than this. The house and property are pristine, clean and lovely. You'll feel your soul unwind as you listen to the river, the geese, and little else. A very special place. The house is comprised of a living area, a kitchen/dining area and a bedroom. The bedroom includes a private bathroom and an enclosed laundry room. While there is a sofa bed in the living room, the home is best suited for a couple, as the only bathroom is in the bedroom. There is a large patio facing the river as well as a large screened porch with comfy chairs, a bench swing and a picnic table. There is also a nice fire-pit seating area near the river. The location has easy access to both the Parkway and the town of West Jefferson. The host was very accommodating and communicative. We look forward to visiting again!- Chris , Posted: 05/22/2024
