About this home

Step back in time and fall in love with this charming cottage by the river. Tucked across from the North Fork of the Historic New River, this sweet little home feels like a page from a simpler time. Sit on the porch and listen to the gentle flow of the water as kayakers pass by, or unwind in the evening with your favorite drink while the sun sets over the mountains. Just minutes from downtown West Jefferson, you'll still feel worlds away-surrounded by peace, beauty, and the timeless rhythm of the river. Could be a cozy retreat or an investment property, this cottage offers the flexibility of short-term or long-term rentals and the promise of mountain memories that never fade.
