What can we do at River Watch Farm?:
If a peaceful get-away is your goal, you can rock on the porch, watch the birds, stroll down the riverside road, and just drink in the beauty of your surroundings. You will enjoy the beautiful setting that includes fields of wildflowers, birds, deer, turkey, and canoes on the river.
If you want more activity, art galleries, antiques, casual and fine dining, golf, canoeing, tubing, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all within 15-20 minutes of our home. Nearby West Jefferson (about 15 minutes) has a movie theater, bowling alley, a variety of casual and fine restaurants, and several excellent grocery stores. The area features several stocked creeks and fly-fishing outfitters as well as fishing on the New River. Horseback riding is in nearby Laurel Springs (about 25 minutes).
Take a scenic drive of 30-45 minutes to Boone/Blowing Rock or Grayson Highlands (Virginia). Ski Beech, Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountian, and Linville Caverns are all a 60-90 minutes
Amenities:
We provide special touches to make your stay more pleasant, including hairdryers, bed linens and towels, and bath and hand soap. Our kitchen is very well-equipped, with complete table service for 8 and adequate cooking and serving equipment for preparation of a full meal.
Our property is great for those who love outdoor living. We feature a covered porch with porch swing, rockers, and a picnic table. We also have an outdoor fire pit, separate charcoal grill, and a second picnic table in the back yard. The grass yard features a rustic swing for the kids hanging from one of several beautiful maple trees in the yard that shade the house in summer and provide incredible color in the fall. In spring, summer, and fall you'll always find wildflowers to pick. On rare occasions you'll need to central air, but most summer nights the cool breezes through an open window will make for great sleeping.
What is the farmhouse like?:
Our farmhouse is full of old-time charm but is totally restored. The inside and outside have been repainted in the past few years. The house has been rewired, has central heat and air, and modern bathrooms and kitchens. Some rooms have hardwood floors and the entire upstairs is carpeted. The farmhouse is decorated with antiques, braided rugs, quilts, and baskets. We provide a cozy and comfortable home that you'll be able to relax in and enjoy.
