Photos and Description of the West Jefferson vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)

This property is not on a steep incline nor is it remote. It is nestled in a beautiful small valley, also called a 'holler'. The wonderful mountain views are all around and there's a creek in the woods across from the property, so although you can't see it, you can hear the water rushing over the rocks. Our favorite thing to do is sit on the front porch in the Amish-made hickory rocking chairs, sip coffee and watch the birds. As evening descends on Bald Mountain, the fireflies come out and start winking, so again we rush out to our chairs and start a-rockin'. This time with a glass of wine from the local New River Winery! Come experience it for yourself.

The cottage is a beautifully modified modular home and has 2 Bedrooms, 2 full Bathrooms and is cozy, clean, bright and sunny.

There is a large, eat-in kitchen with farmhouse table and a big comfortable living room, both with great views.

The house is decorated in the rustic Blue Ridge Mountain style, with a Black Bear and Native American motif.

The beds are both queen size and have peeled Aspen log headboards and brand new, comfy Serta mattress sets.

The back deck overlooks a Christmas tree farm...filled with North Carolina Frazer Firs, or 'set a spell' on the front porch in the Amish-made hickory rocking chairs. You're in the mountains now and relaxation will enfold you like nowhere else on earth.

About Kim Cruickshank

I was looking for a place in the mountains after 30+ years of Florida summers. I started out in the Boone / Blowing Rock area of NC, but someone suggested West Jefferson (Ashe County) because it wasn't as congested.

I went and I fell in love.....with the Historic District with it's great antique shops, art galleries (big art presence there) coffee houses, cafes and weekly farmers market. With the miles of Christmas tree farms. With all the forks of the majestic New River to hike beside, canoe upon and fly fish in. With the long stretches of Blue Ridge Parkway. With the people, the vibe and the smiles.

Kim Cruickshank purchased this cottage in 2008
Why Kim Cruickshank chose West Jefferson

I was against a property with a steep driveway. Especially in the winter, me being a 'flatlander' and all. So this property fit that bill as well...it is an easy drive in and out.

It's a peaceful place without being too remote, neighbors have pride in their property and are very friendly and helpful. it's close to town, just 25 miles to Boone....it just felt right.

What makes this cottage unique

The chairs on the front porch face the West and the sunsets over Bald Mountain are pure magic. Out front there is also a creek in the woods across from the property which you can't see but you can hear the water rushing over the rocks. Very tranquil. There's the aforementioned Christmas tree farm basically in the back yard. So beautiful.

Cozy Black Bear Inn Road Cottage

Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We recently stayed at this property, and were absolutely delighted with it. The photos are accurate, and it is extremely well equipped, with everything you could want, and spotlessly clean. The heating was effective, as it was still a bit chilly in the evenings. It is close to many lovely trails for walking ; close to West Jefferson for all the shopping needs ---Ingles is an excellent supermarket. We found places to eat out in the evenings, but actually preferred to relax in the comfort of the cottage. I saw a number of beautiful birds, just from the verandah.
The owner took a personal interest in us, and telephoned on the last morning to check that all had gone well. The local " caretaker" visited us also, and was very helpful, and friendly. We would readily recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful place to relax in comfort.
We loved the Elk Nob State Park, the New River State Park, Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Jefferson Mountain State Park, to name but a few of the many attractions within easy reach.
The local library were happy for us to link up to the internet each day to contact our family back in Scotland !
