Loved the cabin! Family really enjoyed the stay and the area. Was in town for a wedding at Sky Retreat and this was the perfect spot for family to stay. Highly recommend!
Beautiful cabin big enough with space for each family. Amazing porches and view. Fun time in the river. Also had a fun time at Virginia Creeper Trail and golfing. Great location. And loved all the birds!!! Definitely would love to go back!!!!
No words can really express how lovely this home and it's location are.
The home is immaculate, has all the amenities and is located on the most beautiful spot on the New River
Owners are wonderful to communicate with and very responsive to questions
Very nice house!! Very peaceful and relaxing!!
Everything thing was so nice. The only thing would be more than one hand towel and few more towels for the bathrooms. Everything else was perfect!!
We had a wonderful time at Little Bird Cabin! The cabin was all that the owners had made it out to be and more! It is easily reachable from downtown West Jefferson, but once you get there, you feel as though you are many miles away from anything. The house is set up very nicely with multiple living areas and outside decks for enjoying the view and all of the beauty around you. We will most certainly be back!
We decided at the last minute to go to the mountains to see the leaves. This house was perfect!! Granted, it can hold LOTS more people than just the 2 of us, it would be great for a family. It is right on the New river. The relaxing sound was just what we needed. The house was so nice that we would try to be back from our excursions by 3p. My hardest decision was where to sit.... outside at the bonfire by the river, on the lower deck with its comfortable seating while listening to actual vinyl records, or the main level with the gas fire table, gas grill comfotabke furniture. So mostly it was coffee in morning on main deck and afternoons on lower deck. We will definitely be back!!
The cabin was in the most amazing spot!! The river & outdoor firepit was beautiful!! The 3 story cabin was perfect for my big family!! The host was super sweet and got back to us fast! Thanks for an amazing stay!!
We loved this cabin. Clean, well-stocked, great layout, beautiful location on the water. Downtown West Jefferson is close by. We would love to stay here again!
What a beautiful cabin to share a long weekend with our family! Plenty of space, and a wonderful setting. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back porch, happy hour at the awesome fire pit and floating down to Elk Shoals park a couple of times. Only wish we could have stayed longer! Beware, if anyone in your party is not good with stairs as there are lots of them!
We had a great stay over the 4th. We enjoyed the two living spaces, plenty of room for our family. The sound of the river is so peaceful, I would definitely recommend this home. Sad that is is already booked for next year
We’ve stayed in many cabins in Ashe County and this is by far, our favorite and prettiest! Easy access to the river along with the kayaks provided, created a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We had 10 family members over 18 years old and it fit us perfectly. It was very clean and well equipped. We hope to visit again soon!!
In for a family wedding. Little Bird cabin wowwed everyone. Gorgeous. Everything you could want.
Roomy, perfect fire pit. Such a great weekend.
Thank you.
The cabin was clean, had a gorgeous view, and was extremely well stocked! We had a group of 7, ranging in ages from 49-82, and the cabin was loved by all. We also really enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated the wood that was stacked and ready for use! The owners were very quick to respond the one time we had to reach out. This will be our group’s first choice if we need a place to stay in this area!
The cabin is certainly off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. We saw otters, beavers, deer, and hummingbirds, and listened to birds and crickets while sitting on the decks. The cabin was very clean, with all the essentials we needed. There was lots of space, even with ten of us staying. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, kayaking, and playing numerous games provided. The owners are super friendly, fast to respond, and gracious hosts. Definitely the perfect place to stay.
Well appointed. My wife and I stayed on the main floor with the Queen Bedroom and our Son, Daughter in Law, and 2 Grandchildren on the lower floor. Gave us, and them, some privacy and at night, allowed us to turn in earlier and them to watch TV on the lower floor versus main floor. We will be returning and recommend this cabin. We rated it a 5 Star base on other VRBO stays we have had over the years.
Wonderful house and location on the river. The only thing that stressed me out was driving on the one lane gravel access road to the house. I never knew when someone was coming the other way and there were very few places to pull off. Since the road is a loop, it would workout better if it was a one way road.
We had the best time! The cabin is spacious and had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We were a short drive from downtown West Jefferson, as well as the Old Barn Winery. Although none of us had mobility challenges, if you do, keep in mind that the home is 3 levels, and has 50+ stairs down to the river. We hope to be back soon!
We rented this home with our kids and granddaughter. It’s just perfect! Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked! Bed’s comfy! The view of the river was so beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife! Deer, ducks, chipmunks, and lots of other birds! The kayaks in the storage room were the biggest hit for us! We floated down the river from the house the Elk Shoals park. It’s a very relaxing float! Caught lots of fish! The river is shallow in most places and there are no big rapids…very safe when we went. We’ve stayed in many homes but this was our favorite by far! Karin is super helpful and responsive! Will be booking our next stay soon!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Little Bird cabin! It was gorgeous and peaceful. Loved hearing the sounds of the river right next to us. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our 3 families. We saw deer and geese nearby. We enjoyed our morning walks with our dogs. The cabin is close to trails, overlooks, and shops. We enjoyed doing a puzzle together from the game room and listening to the vinyl records. Our dad liked watching some of the DVDs we found there 😀 We also used the kayaks and made s'mores on the fire pit. We loved that we were able to use the fireplace on the chillier days, gave us some cozy vibes. It's a beautiful cabin with gorgeous views all around. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly to our emails. We loved our experience, and we look forward to planning another vacation soon!
