We spent 4 nights and 3 days mostly hiking and exploring this wonderful part of NC shortly after Christmas. The studio loft was just perfect to come home to, after hours spent in the cold outside, such a peaceful and beautiful environment. I've rarely seen a rental with such attention to detail, highest standard of cleanliness, and lovely holiday decorations. The kitchen is very well equipped, including for tea drinkers like myself, which was an added bonus. We brought homemade meals and a limited supply of groceries so that we to did not need to spend additional time driving to restaurants, but West Jefferson has lots of neat little places to eat and explore. The host lives on the property with her family and is charming and gracious. We couldn't have found a better place for our winter getaway and hope to return.
