Clean, peaceful, very stunning view of the River.
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.

Perfect getaway
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!!

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 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!

Beautiful cabin
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!!

Wonderful!
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!

Very Merry Christmas in the Mountains!
Such a great cabin! very well appointed with almost everything that was needed. Kitchen was great for making Christmas dinner. Outside grill for steaks the night before. Games, puzzles, cards.... everything to keep us occupied even with -6 degree temperatures. The fire pit on the river was great as was the fire pit on the deck.... couldn't ask for more! We want to go back in the spring!

Beautiful and Fun time !
This cabin was all we could ask for. The 3 levels were perfect for our family. My 88 yr old dad was able to stay on the main level and the fire pit out by the river was fun and the gas fire pit on the main level was our morning coffee meeting place. Several of the guys caught a few fish and being so close to Downtown West Jefferson was so nice for eating and shopping. We were only about 30 min from Tweetsie RR and took my 2yo grandson - great memories! He loved the river and all the fun at the cabin. We posted many photos online and many friends have asked for the link- Thank you Karin and Jim- your home is amazing! Donna M

Peaceful quiet cabin…
We had a wonderful time with our family and dear friends, but because my friend was 8months pregnant and we both had toddlers, it made the climb to and from the river difficult. Not pictured is another set of 40 steps down to the river. There were moments the dads went down with bigger kids while we stayed up at the house with toddlers. Even though we would have rather been all together. The space was nice and accommodated everything we needed. The beds and pillows were just okay, luckily we brought our own pillows from home. We loved the porch, especially when it rained. It was beautiful and peaceful.

Stunning view and peaceful.
House met almost all of our needs. Plenty of space and gorgeous views, peaceful and quiet. Getting there is a little tricky the first time and parking is a trick, but houses is spacious with multiple balconies. Our only issue was having a place for our 5 year old grandson to play outside due the severe slope of the property to the water. We enjoyed making s'mores and playing lots of games. Water was so peaceful and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and fireflies. The multi levels allowed for easy sleeping arrangements for all family members.
