• Separate living areas allow privacy for kids or friends
• Mins to West Jefferson, Shatley Springs & the New River State Park!

In a setting like this, you'll hate to go inside. Grill and entertain on the large deck, enjoying the mountain views and rolling hills from your rocking chair or porch swing. Then close out the evening with a campfire in the fire-pit. Or soak in your luxurious, private hot tub – also with a gorgeous mountain view! This is relaxation at its best, with stunning scenery and open spaces all around – and no other homes crowding in on your serenity.

The comfort and relaxation continues inside your Riverbend Retreat. The master suite on the lower level offers a king bed and en suite bath. This level also features a private media room with Roku. From here you can access the lower deck and hot tub.

This retreat sleeps 6 total, with the addition of two more bedrooms on the upper level, each with a queen bed and a full bathroom to share, with a tub/shower combination. This upper level features a family room with rustic charm, comfy furnishings, a gas-burning fireplace and scenic views from every angle. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, blender, crock pot, and all the dining accessories you might need.

Explore The High Country

You've picked the right spot for an unforgettable mountain vacation! Riverbend Retreat is in the northern part of Ashe County, very near the New River State Park, where you can enjoy all the mountains have to offer – canoeing, tubing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, picnicking, and all the fresh air you can breathe. You're also close to the Virginia Creeper – North Carolina and Virginia's premier mountain biking trail, which stretches 34 miles from Abingdon, down thru the lovely town of Damascus, along the Whitetop Laurel River and up to its highest point at Whitetop Station, near the NC state line. The Virginia Creeper Trail is open year round to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Don't miss this ride – a blast for the whole family, with several bike rental shops to serve you.

In the High Country, gorgeous scenery awaits you at every turn. In the nearby mountain town of West Jefferson you have restaurants and terrific shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. There's even a movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.

Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State University, or visit our craft breweries. And don't forget to take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, for some of the country's most awe-inspiring views. You'll understand how our mountains got their name!

If you're dreaming of a snowy mountain winter, you've also come to the right place. Enjoy sledding, snowboarding, skating – and of course skiing – all winter long. Or watch the snow fall softly and serenely outside, while you're cozy in the cabin!

No matter when you visit, this peaceful Retreat will help you melt the stress of the city away!

Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.

Great place for peace?

This place was beautiful! The cabin was out in the middle of almost nowhere and very peaceful. We loved the view! And you could see all of the stars!! The master bed was comfortable and we didn't want to get out of it most days! The hot tub was perfect! The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked daily after a trip to the Food Lion and Walmart. We will definitely stay here again when we come visit family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were plenty of activities to enjoy at the cabin such as cornhole, jumbo jenga, and others. It was quiet and fairly secluded. Hot tub was enjoyable as well. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings as the sun went down. Beautiful views from the deck.

River Bend Hills

We had a very good experience. Property was as advertised. We owned a cabin nearby for several years and it was convenient to go back to our old stomping grounds. The only thing that might be an issue is there are only 3 chairs for the table. As the home easily sleeps 6 this could be an issue. I had seen it in another review and had taken a bag chair so the 4 of us could eat together. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and utensils.

Decent place to stay

Cabin has a nice setting, but can use a lot of tlc and updates. Bees nest in the chairs and porch. Squirrel or some kind of animal in the attic area. AC unit only worked for part of one day, then cabin heated up into the 80’s. Lucky for us it was very cool nights and were able to open up all of the windows to help cool it down to sleep. Fire pit area is very off level and chairs were dangerous to sit in as they are falling apart. Hot tub partially works. View off of the front porch is nice. Cabin is small but comfortable. Location is decent it’s not too far of a drive to Grayson Highands or Jefferson for restaurants.

Weekend Get Away

We had a great time in this secluded mountain cabin. The cool master bedroom had a mattress better than any 5 star hotel anywhere. Sitting on the front porch and watching the setting sun go over the mountain was breath taking and helped rekindle the romance in a 20 plus year marriage. We definitely will make this trip again.

Undecided

Some of the features were as described. Steps both inside and outside house were steep, so be careful especially if carrying anything up or down with vision impaired by bulky items. Disappointed by very small kitchen with only 3 chairs. If you want room for the family to sit, eat, play games together, this is not your cabin. We had a family of 4 and one of us had to sit on the cooler we brought all week to eat. Outside, yes there are enough chairs to watch the mountains, but again, fire pit with only 2 chairs. Fire pit and picnic table on a downhill, so not comfortable to sit outside with snacks and drinks. When we attempted to eat at picnic table (because we were trying to enjoy family meals), smoke from fire kept blowing in our faces, so we were not enjoying it. The property is semi private, neighbors are close. View is nice in the morning & after the sun sets behind the mountain. There is about a 3-4 hour window when the sun beams on the front porch & you can’t enjoy it. Watch trying to open front door, too, you can burn your hand on the door handle. Also, it is much cooler in basement & upstairs is warmer, so it is a bit of an adjustment between the two. Use the little heater in the bathroom downstairs it helps! The beds were very comfortable though, thank you for that! The cabin is solid, though, and sound between the floors was not an issue like other cabins we have stayed in before. Hot tub was fine, just got cloudy towards end of the week so it would have been nice to utilize it all week but we were nervous to use it after the water was a bit cloudy. Would have been nice to be able to shock it to clear it up. There is a very friendly road living under the hot tub that comes out in the evening, be nice to it. And a black racer snake that we saw once too. He’s a good snake to have around. Don’t harm him either, please, if you see him. Crumpler is very small, and I would say about 30-45 minutes outside of many things in the area to do. West Jefferson has a cute downtown area and the Home Slice Pizza place was awesome. The local kayak and tubing place right over the cool on lane bridge was awesome. Nice people, and good experience there. Very close to New River, but could not find any close hiking. So drove usually 30-60 minutes depending to hike trails. Would be nice if the cabin had a little local book with stuff in the area to do. Overall, I would have given the cabin 3.5 stars. Thank you anytime in NC is 👍🏻

3 friends and I had a lovely long weekend at this cabin. Everything was as described. The hot tub was nice in that it was not over chlorinated like most rentals with hot tubs. Our only complaints: There was inadequate TP and no extra anywhere to be found No linens for the pull out couch in the media room No travel toiletries in the bathrooms - just soap It’s a beautiful area and we hope to come back!
