New River Farmhouse - Laurel Springs

We had a great time staying at the farmhouse and enjoying the river and creek. Caught several fish at the mouth of the creek. The house was very nice. The interior immediately reminded me of going to my grandmother’s house when I was a child. We enjoyed the pictures that were hung throughout. The owners stopped by to check on us and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed talking with them and learning about the property. This stay was to allow my family to get together and celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had some family drop in for the day as we grilled steaks and celebrated this milestone. Everyone was thrilled to get together at this beautiful farmhouse. We will definitely be coming back.

--Thank you for the beautiful review!  We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Well decorated house with nice outdoor setup right on the river.

We ?% enjoyed our stay at the “Farmhouse” for the past week!! A small, cozy little place to relax, lay our heads and even welcomed our two dogs!! The house may not seem like much to some, but it was giving off “grandparent's house vibes”. (Nostalgia) The AMAZING river access was one of our favorite parts of getting this house. My husband spent every morning on the porch with a cup of coffee, then within minutes, was in the water fishing. The Farmhouse is located around 20 minutes from down town West Jefferson, the Cheese Factory, Shopping Centers, etc. Overall, we are pleased with our stay and thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We recommend this vacation rental!! ??

This quiet getaway is conveniently located across the road from the New River. It has a great sitting porch with rockers, allowing a good view of the river. Outside amenities include a fire pit and charcoal grill. There's even a picnic table for riverside dining. Great location for kayaking or tubing down the river.

We are grateful for the opportunity to stay in the New River Farmhouse! It was a very special place to share our family time. We spent most of our days on the river, kayaking & fishing and enjoyed evening walks & porch sitting, with lightning bug filled, night skies! Thank you for sharing this little patch of heaven!

The home was very clean and exactly as advertised. The rental company was very organized and thorough. I would definitely use Stay Blue Ridge again!

Neat and very clean older Farmhouse. Everything worked with the exception of fan control. Need batteries in fan control main bedroom. Will contact your company next time. Happy Thanksgiving

This was a great place for a weekend getaway for a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 children). We were initially concerned about potential traffic being that a road separates the house from the river. However we found only 3 vehicles passed by over the course of 3 days. You have the entire area to yourself. The amenities were awesome especially the starter kit. They have an excellent heater to keep the house toasty at night and great wifi service. I highly recommend and we will definitely return.

We just love being here and spend our days talking about when we are coming back! Nice, quiet, cozy, serene and tranquil. The kids play in the river with dad while I just sit in the sun and listen. Just what we need! Also, SBR is super awesome and quick to help with anything that may arise(ie broken coffeepot). This is always just hands down lovely for us.

- Stacy , Posted: 07/31/2023

This has been a perfect short stay getaway for our family and just the 2 of us for 2 years in a row. The location is unbelievable and the home is quaint and has a-lit of character. Just wish it had a washer and dryer. We will be back every year possible!

- Jennifer , Posted: 07/31/2023

Great place for quiet relaxation. Beautiful location and very clean house. Got to meet the owner; she is very nice and made us feel welcome. Hope to return soon!

- Amy , Posted: 06/29/2023

Such a fun spot and charming house. Fishing, canoeing, swimming, hunting crawdads and cooking…so much fun with our children. We also met the owners who were super nice.

- Jennifer , Posted: 08/21/2022

Very pleasant house , had everything we needed . May book the house again for a stay

- Landon , Posted: 08/07/2022

We always love Stay Blue Ridge but even more the owners of this house. As always, We'll be back.

--Awe, thank you, we love having you too and look forward to your next visit!

- Dean , Posted: 05/30/2022

We loved our stay at the New River Farmhouse in Laurel Springs. The house is very quaint, private, and clean. Hopefully we can stay there the next time we're in Ashe County!

- Michael , Posted: 04/17/2022

We had made plans at another house, (different owner as well). The house became unavailable the afternoon we were traveling, but the owner of that house found this one for us and had already contacted the agent. This house was perfect for us and our friends to enjoy a little time away. The house is a great size, clean, has a well stocked kitchen, and much more. Basically, it had everything we needed! It snowed while we were there and the owner came by to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. It is a cozy house and we would definitely come back!! Thanks so much.

- Sarita , Posted: 01/28/2022

We enjoyed our stay. House is in great location with beautiful views of the river House feels far out but very easy 20 minute drive to west jefferson. Would definitely like to come back in the summer to enjoy the river .

- Robby , Posted: 11/29/2021

We enjoyed our stay on the river. The house was great. Would stay there again.

- Amy , Posted: 11/01/2021

Perfect, peaceful stay in the beautiful mountains, can't wait to come back in the summer.

- Heather , Posted: 10/25/2021

This is our new home away from home. Very clean old fashioned farmhouse with great views right on the river.

- Ellen , Posted: 08/05/2021

We were very happy with this vacation. The location was great. It was private and everyone enjoyed the river experience. It was a little bit tough for some to get in and out of the river, but once you were in the water it was a nice part of the river to walk around in. I had fun fishing in the New River. The creek was nice also but not good for fishing.

- Jatana , Posted: 07/28/2021

Property is in great location off the beaten path and has everything for a couple night stay you need. If you are wanting to fish, however, it's a difficult spot to fish from the bank and the creek is really small and low this time of year. For the hardcore fisher, I'd come early spring or later in the fall. for the family that wants to float the river, it's awesome. And the fireflies at night were spectacular. We'll be back definitely!!

- Franklin , Posted: 07/12/2021

Its right on the river if you love to to fish. Almost no traffic. The house was great, really takes you back. The views of the river make you never wana leave

- Howard , Posted: 06/13/2021

We loved the quiet location and watching the river flow by. The cottage is well equipped and so comfortable. We hated to leave.

- Denise , Posted: 05/10/2021

The New River Farmhouse was perfect. The property is beautiful, with the New River and a creek right beside the property.

- Lindsea , Posted: 04/26/2021

Place was great. River right there. Got some fishing in. We all loved the house.

- Erik , Posted: 04/03/2021

The house is on a very quiet road, ideal for walking. Picturesque by the river, but 10/15 minutes from Jefferson/West Jefferson. While it is a quiet road, it snowed while we were there and our road was ploughed by 11am the next day - very impressed.
The decor is definitely old, but everything in the kitchen worked, and there is plenty of kitchen equipment, utensils, etc.
Three things that could be improved. One, a hairdryer would have been helpful. Second, both my husband and I developed itchy eyes in the house - not sure if it was dust, or something else. Didn't affect our stay as we were out hiking most of the day, but worth mentioning. And lastly, we left on a Sunday, so didn't have to take our trash, but I'd have been irritated to pay a hefty cleaning fee and still have to remove my trash!
However, all in all, would definitely recommend this property. Lovely small house in a great location.

Nice quiet location, nice older farmhouse.

I loved it! Would return and recommend .

- Frances H from Gainesville, FL, Posted: 11/12/2020

We visited to do some trout fishing in the mountains, had a very good time.

The house was very well kept and clean. All the amenities were included. Only issue is that the home is not very well lit - a bit dark inside. Changing the bulbs from incandescent to LED not only would brighten up the place, but use less electricity. Otherwise, it's charming, quiet and peaceful.

- Kimberly N from Gate City, VA, Posted: 10/19/2020

Thank you for choosing StayBlueRidge and leaving us a great review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will also take your advice and change out the light bulbs to help with the lightening. Suggestions are always a great help.

The home was equipped with everything you need for your home away from home in a quiet setting! It reminded me of my grandma's house!!

- Tracy T from Ernul, NC, Posted: 10/03/2020

Our vacation in the River Farmhouse was everything we could have asked. We loved the house, being by the river. We grilled outside every evening and sat by our campfire, surrounded by fireflies, every evening. We can't wait to go back again.

- Carla S from Bluffton, SC, Posted: 08/19/2020

Thank you for the rave review! We look forward to hosting you again soon.

In light of the coronavirus my son was in able to travel out of the country for his honeymoon The Farmhouse on the New River was so beautiful my son and his new bride we're so pleased quiet peace Beauty and serenity all came in one..

- Christine F from clemmons, nc, Posted: 07/25/2020

Great Location we had a great time fishing in the river and good location for kayaking. We would love to come back again soon. Our last day there we had a very traumatic event happen and my husband was in the hospital most of the night. I called the rental company to ask for a later checkout if possible because he was finally getting some sleep. I do not know the ladies name that I spoke to but she was so very nice and understanding and she told us that was not a problem at all and if there was anything they could do to help just let them know. Thank you so much for you kindness and we will definitely use Stay Blue Ridge again.

- Lori T from Asheboro , NC, Posted: 07/01/2020

The house location is great for kids. Private, very little traffic on the road. Our grandsons, 9 and 7 years old had a blast. They were able to play in the stream, swimming, jumping rocks, fishing. We had campfires at night. Sat on the porch while they played in the yard. The house is clean and comfy. The kitchen has the basics but I struggled without nonstick pans. Overall everything was wonderful and we are looking forward to staying here again.

Great Place to Stay!
We booked this house just to get away a couple of days and we wanted to spend a day on the New River. This place was great even though it's a older house it is well kelp. We spent all day (7 hours) on the New River and got out right in front of the house. It was very nice not having to drive home afterwards. We will most definitely be back.

Wonderful
This is our second time renting from Stay Blue Ridge thanks and this house is a wonderful gem a house that makes you welcome to come in and just be at peace. Like I said A Gem. On the New River.

Love The Farm House
First off I would like to applaud Stay Blue Ridge and Jarrita and staff y’all are awesome. The Farm house was awesome and a perfect gem it remind me of my grandparents house year’s ago and we had one of the best Thanksgiving just my wife and I. The road is not travel a lot and the New River is across the road and a nice fire pit and only 12 minutes from West Jefferson. The Farm house is a wonderful gem on the New River oh the only thing is we wish it was for sale. Will rent it many more times.

Mr.
Second time staying here. Very clean and quiet. The owners came by to mow and I explained that the a/c wasn’t keeping up in the evening especially after cooking ( they said it was one of the hottest weeks there). A few hours later they showed up with a new a/c and two fans! We hated that they spent the money, but it saved the week! Super nice people! We plan on going back next year!
