This was an incredibly nice house to stay on the river. The inside of the home was spacious, comfy and very clean upon arrival. It's a very well-kept home. The hot tub was a fantastic addition since we booked the place back in January, and it was a great amenity to wind up having. We used it each night! The house is easy to get to and is in a convenient location to town. The steps, as described are indeed steep and numerous, so this wouldn't be the best option for anyone with mobility issues, but otherwise, it's a truly great home. The enclosed/gated deck was wonderful for the dogs to spend some time outside. We would definitely stay there again.

Quiet and peaceful

We came up to this property partly to visit our new Grandson and partly to get away from the hustle and bustle, this place fit the bill even though it rained, we got to see 6 deer one morning while having coffee on the big deck, the gas fire pit did work wonders for our wine and beer sips on the evening deck, well worth the money and will probably book again.

Place was great! It was not right on the river as advertised. You had to walk down a steep flight of step, cross a gravel road and then another long flight of stairs to access to river and chairs by river. You are definitely out of breath on the way up to the cabin! Also the hot tub looked alittle dirt the first night- the second that was confirmed bc the pool man stopped by and drained and cleaned it while us guys were on the river and the ladies were at the cabin. He said he forgot to do it the day before we arrived. Needless to say it was too cold to use the rest of our stay which was unfortunate bc that was definitely a feature we looked for when renting this cabin. Great place- not so great communication & service. Also they want a cash tip to haul off any garbage- which I think is getting a bit ridiculous.

Perfect get away!

We enjoyed our stay at New River Haven so much! The house was exactly as described and such a wonderful place to relax and unwind. We took lots of walks and enjoyed the river views from the porch. West Jefferson is one of our favorite places to visit. Canโ€™t wait to plan our next visit!

Had a great time. Cabin was located in a very private secluded area which is what I was looking for but not far from town. Would definitely rent again. If I had one complaint would be wish that part of the river had a better area for swimming.
