Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a long stay in nature, our cozy, fully renovated cabin offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and adventure. A Setting That Speaks for Itself Imagine waking up to the sound of the river below, sipping your morning coffee on a wraparound deck while watching the water roll by. With direct access to the river, open fields for games, and scenic surroundings, this cabin is a dream for outdoor lovers and those needing a true reset. Located on Railroad Grade Road, an 8-mile stretch of flat, riverside road, you’ll love walking, running, or biking right outside your front door. Looking for more? You’re just minutes from West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, with endless trails, local charm, and activities to explore. ⸻ The Space: Cozy, Clean, and Thoughtfully Updated Originally built in the 1970s by Ennis Scott Pennell (the great-grandmother of the current owners), this home was designed to bring family back to the land. It has since been renovated from top to bottom, including: • New flooring and bathroom • Upgraded kitchen and appliances • Mini-split heating and cooling system for year-round comfort • Fresh finishes throughout that preserve the charm but give you modern ease The living room features a comfortable pull-out couch for additional sleeping space, perfect for families or small groups. The kitchen is well-equipped for home-cooked meals, and the dining area overlooks the river. ⸻ Entertainment & Connectivity Stay as connected—or disconnected—as you want. The cabin includes: • High-speed internet • Apple TV & Amazon Fire TV Stick with access to Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and any apps that work with your cable subscriptions (just log in). • Easy app switching for those cozy movie nights or catching up on your favorite shows. ⸻ Extras to Know • Wood-burning fireplace for cool mountain nights (bring a bundle of wood!) • Shower with strong water pressure • Fresh linens, towels, and essentials provided • Pull-out couch makes it great for 2–4 guests • Windows throughout let in beautiful natural light and views • Pets allowed with prior approval + pet fee • Checkout is 11:00 AM (simple instructions provided) ⸻ Driveway Note The gravel driveway can get a little slick, especially if wet. We recommend walking down the grassy edge rather than the gravel when needed. Just part of the mountain charm! ⸻ Guest Access You’ll have access to the entire cabin, the riverfront, and wide, mowed fields—perfect for tossing a frisbee, playing catch, or simply laying out under the stars. ⸻ Nearby Towns & Must-Do Adventures • West Jefferson (15 min): Local shops, breweries, Boondocks Restaurant, and live music • Blue Ridge Parkway (15 min): Scenic drives, overlooks, and hikes • Boone (25 min): COBO Sushi, The Local, and the famous Daniel Boone Inn for breakfast • Home of Appalachian State University • Blowing Rock (35 min): Boutique shopping, Bistro Roca, Six Pence Pub • Railroad Grade Road: Ride or jog along the river—no hills! ⸻ Mountain Cabin Notes (Because Nature is Real) You may see a ladybug or two—they’re used in nearby Christmas tree farms to control pests naturally. Occasionally, stink bugs may appear (they’re harmless, just toss them outside or vacuum them up). ⸻ Final Thoughts This is a place to truly slow down, breathe in the mountain air, and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. We’ve hosted everyone from solo travelers to couples to multi-generational families, and all have left with stories to tell. We can’t wait to host you at At Riverbend. Let us know if you have any questions—we’re local and happy to help! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24040000/24032000/24031968/d59d3da9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 1930’s Farmhouse located between Boone & West Jefferson, NC!
