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.

Local Surroundings:
- 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.
