House was clean and had everything we needed and more. Would have liked to have a bathroom on the same level as the bedroom but we made do as this was booked at the last minute. Area was quiet and we were able to see wildlife and the northern lights while in the hot tub. Very Nice!

The Bird's Nest was the perfect getaway cabin for a quick anniversary weekend for my husband and I. The outdoor space was great with multiple seating areas and of course, the hot tub. The inside of the cabin was adorable and had everything we needed. Would love to come back!!

Anniversary Weekend
Loved the cute and quaint cottage style cabin. We were greeted with complimentary popcorn, hot cocoa, and bottled water. There were a few issues when we got there. We couldn’t get the family room TV to work and the propane tank for the gas fire pit was empty. There wasn’t anything provided to light the wood burning fireplace. Called management and everything was promptly taken care of the next day. We left the lighter we bought for the next guests. We enjoyed the hot tub and the quiet, peaceful setting. We watched deer graze in the yard a couple of times. West Jefferson was a great mountain town to visit. The mountains were beautiful. We’d stay again!

Very cute, clean, well built cabin, lots of character, obviously someone's pride. Very clean, everything taken care of so you can enjoy a carefree stay. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking, and West Jefferson is a cool little town, especially if you are into antiques and collectibles. The only thing I would change about the cabin is perhaps less mementos so there would be more places for magazines, etc.

Lovely excursion just outside West Jefferson
Everything about this property was just right. The description, the photos, the location, the good folks managing it at Stay Blue Ridge... everything. This home has everything you need to feel at home and welcomed upon arrival. If you're looking for a getaway in a home that's the perfect size for a small family, then this is the place! If I had to nitpick, I'd say the only issue is with the upstairs master bed, in that the person sleeping on the left side of the bed will not receive much air from the overhead fans (there is no A/C upstairs; this issue could also rather easily be resolved by just re-orienting the bed in the room, but we didn't want to go through that trouble). This won't be an issue for 10 months of the year, but in July and August, it can be rather hot at night still. We didn't find the standup fan in the closet until we were ready to leave, so the first night was rough, while the second night we thankfully had a portable fan that was more than sufficient. So as long as you remember to use some kind of fan directed at this side of the bed in the summer, everything should be fine.

Great stay close to town.
We decided to get away for a couple nights last minute. Found this cabin and loved the story behind it and it looked perfect. It’s beautiful and secluded at the end of the road with loads of privacy. All amenities you can imagine and very comfortable with excellent WiFi. The only thing that we could find that needed slight attention was the hot tub could have been a little cleaner. We used it and loved it but for the amount of the cleaning fee it definitely needed a little more filtering. Other than this it was amazing and you’ll love your stay here!

Amazing cabin
I took my significant other up for Father's day getaway. It's the most adorable cabin. The bed was very comfortable. Walking around looking at all the decorations was great. We loved how it was decorated. We made all our meals and ate on the side porch. Last night we had two deer come visit right at the end of supper (which they provide deer corn to feel them) we will definitely be back. The only thing this cabin needs is a swing or a hammock

Perfect Cozy Cabin Getaway!
We stayed at the adorable Birds' Nest cabin for a weekend getaway in the middle of winter, and it was the PERFECT cozy mountaintop retreat!! The antique cabin and its sweet decor (handmade quilts, vintage Nancy Drew books, a typewriter at the desk in the loft) made us feel right at home, and looking out the windows at the mountains and stars gave us the peaceful feeling we were looking for. The big stone fireplace kept us toasty warm in the evenings and made the house glow. During the day, we found plenty to explore in tiny West Jefferson, including the delicious giant donuts at Hole Lotta Donuts, window shopping along the main street, and picking up picnic supplies and local wine at the Ashe County Cheese Shop (across from the giant cows). One of our weekend highlights was hiking the Cascade falls — a little slippery with packed snow on the trail, but gorgeous in the afternoon sunshine and and impressive view down the falls! We would happily stay in this cabin again. Tips: A 4WD vehicle is necessary to navigate the unpaved roads up to the cabin, especially if there's snow or ice. If you're going to use the fireplace, bring your own firewood or pick some up at Lowe's in town! There was some split wood outside the cabin, but it was wet from the snow.
