Description
Gorgeous Home in Gorgeous Setting
• Spacious wrap-around decks overlooking Helton Creek
• NEW Hot Tub!
• Dog friendly - see policy below
• Private and peaceful
• Great trout fishing!
• Primary bedroom with en suite on main level
• Lots of TVs and separate entertainment areas
• In Northern Ashe County, 25 minutes to Jefferson
• We do not recommend low profile vehicles as the road to house is gravel and the last mile is narrow. 4WD is not necessary unless there is inclement weather.
This home is so special, it will check all your boxes! It’s beautiful, spacious, light and airy, and located in an enviable setting, right on the famous Helton Creek. There are so many amenities, your whole group will find something to love.
This large, log-cabin-style home is situated on the curve of the creek, with a huge, flat yard running along the water’s edge. Your friends and family won’t be able to resist gathering here.
In the evening, you’ll still want to be outside, gathered by the water and star-gaze. Or take a relaxing soak in the hot tub. All while serenaded by the comforting gurgle of the gentle flowing stream.
If you’re longing to decompress with minimum effort, hang out on River Song’s stunning deck, which wraps most of the way around the home, with a view of the water and surrounding woods. The outdoor grill and multiple dining areas accommodate eating and entertaining al fresco, making the most of everything you came to the mountains for.
Indoors the home is almost as impressive as its amazing outdoor spaces. The towering ceiling in the great room enhances the sense of spaciousness, while the wood construction provides a warm and cozy atmosphere. The great room has a stone, gas fireplace, Smart TV and plenty of comfy seating. The dining and nicely-appointed kitchen area is directly adjacent, with stainless appliances, a ceiling fan, and everything you need for meals and refreshment at home, including a dishwasher, microwave, Keurig and regular coffee maker. The dining area seats 6, or 8 with the extra leaf. There is also room for 4 at the kitchen bar. Also on the main level, you’ll find the half bath just off the living room, and a queen-sized primary bedroom with an en suite bath, a TV and private access to the lovely deck.
The upstairs level is perfect for the kids, with its own entertainment area and TV, as well as a huge bedroom with bunks and twin beds, to sleep 4. The catwalk overlooks the great room and the open loft has a full-size sleeper sofa, recliner and 55” flat screen Smart TV. From here you can access a covered deck. Down on the third level (below the main level) you’ll find an entire apartment, with a second kitchen, dining for 4, entertainment and lounge areas, and a TV, as well as another bedroom and en suite bath. Step outside from this level, and be waterfront in a minute.
When you’re ready to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful vacation in the mountains of North Carolina, the River Song Retreat is your dream come true!
Experience the High Country
The River Song Retreat is the perfect spot for exploring the area's best fishing spots, on the famous Helton Creek. Here you’ll find Crumpler and Shatley Springs to the South, Lansing to the West, and Grassy Creek and Mouth of Wilson to the North, just over the Virginia border. A great spot called the River House is nearby, with its popular, upscale restaurant.
From this location, you’re only 30 minutes from Grayson Highlands State Park, where wild ponies will greet you up on the Massie Gap Trail. Come in the spring and you might see the foals. The park provides great hiking, a replica of a historic mountain settlement, and more.
Downtown West Jefferson is also less than 30 minutes away, offering several great options for eating out, shopping and entertainment. This picturesque town is famous for antique shops, art galleries, craft beer breweries, and Ashe County Cheese. There’s even a movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.
Lansing, home of Molley Chomper Cidery, is another quaint small-town destination. When you get hungry, check out Pie on the Mountain, known for great pizza. Across the road is the Lansing Creeper Park, with a walking trail and monthly Music in the Barn concerts.
Ready for adventure? In addition to fun on Helton Creek, the New River offers countless opportunities for kayaking, canoeing or tubing. Local outfitters will hook you up with whatever you need. Other High Country recreation opportunities include hunting, zip-lining, cave exploration, mining for gems, and more. Mountain Aire Golf is a gorgeous public course in West Jefferson, with 18 holes of beautifully-maintained fairways, amazing scenery and reasonable prices. Don’t miss other area attractions like Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Mount Jefferson State Park, and the Tweetsie Railroad!
Throughout the High Country, gorgeous scenery awaits you at every turn. Be sure to take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, with some of the country’s most awe-inspiring views and photo opps. You’ll understand how our mountains got their name!
NC’s High Country offers a mountain vacation with something for everyone!
There are external cameras monitoring the public areas outside of the house.
We do not recommend low profile vehicles as the road to house is gravel and the last mile is narrow. 4WD is not necessary unless there is inclement weather.

The Location was beautiful and the creek soothing. We had a great time and the place was clean and well stocked. We certainly enjoyed our stay.- Gregory , Posted: 08/05/2024
This is our second time staying at River Song Retreat and first time staying during the summer. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, but the outdoors call at this property. We had so much fun playing in the river, sitting around the fire and playing games. Wonderful stay and great memories created!- Jenny , Posted: 07/23/2024
This property is the one. This was our 11th annual guys trip and 2nd time staying at this property. We love the area and the peace that this tucked away piece of heaven offers. The house itself is clean and spacious. The activities down by the river give reason to never have to leave the property. If you do, we recommend swinging through Lansing or West Jefferson for a tasty brew or meal. We'll be back!- Michael , Posted: 05/26/2024
Our party consists of 4 Naval Officers that served together during OIF/OEF and meet up every April to fly fish in Ashe County for the last several years. This house has great proximity to our favorite spots, great amenities and the complimentary S’mores fixings were truly the icing on the cake during the nightly fire pit reconnect. A fantastic property we look forward to coming to again next year.- David , Posted: 04/25/2024
Our family stayed at River Song Retreat over the New Year. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. The property is so beautiful and drew every one of us outside. Sitting around the firepit and enjoying the view and sounds of the river, were among the favorite memories for all of us. We hope to be back again soon!- Jenny , Posted: 01/01/2024
We had a great stay. The location was beautiful. The kids had a great time catching trout right out back. Would definitely stay here again.- Derek , Posted: 11/26/2023
We had a wonderful time. The house and property are very well maintained and clean. We found everything we needed. They even left a smores kit for us!! We enjoyed fishing and caught many trout. The hot tub was a definite hit and was used every day!!! The views from the deck were beautiful and we enjoyed watching the deer come from the woods and walk across the yard each evening to the water. We saw herons, lots of birds, deer and a beautiful owl. Don't hesitate...make your reservation today!!!!- Nicole , Posted: 11/13/2023
I live in Myrtle Beach and we go to the mountains in the summertime. I have been to Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and *Now, North Carolina to rent houses in the mountains. This was by far our best experience! From the ease of Check in three hours early I might ad. To the cleanliness and order of the house. Run! No walk to rent this house, and from this company by far the best rental company I have experienced, including dealing with one living at the beach.- Carey , Posted: 08/05/2023
The stay was very nice, the location was great, completely felt as if it were a vacation.- Jessie , Posted: 03/01/2023
Place was awesome. Cabin was the perfect place for an escape from your chaotic and stressful life. Incredible spot if you like fly fishing- Ty , Posted: 02/01/2023
We stayed the weekend at the cabin and it was so fun! We were looking for just a quiet get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We just wanted to hunker down and do nothing! Lol this was the perfect spot, we were able to fish all day, enjoy a fire and we also were able to marsh marshmallows and make s’mores (thanks to the owners-thanks by the way ). We caught several trout and had a ball doing it. The hot tub was great and our kids loved the big jacuzzi tub inside. The cabin had plenty of space and beds for all of us, it was super clean and very homey. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pants and everything we needed to cook. The views were amazing. We started the tradition of coming to the mountains every year 3 years ago with our family and this has been our favorite house yet! Thanks so much for letting us stay. We hope to be back next year!- Deanna , Posted: 01/23/2023
Such a great mountain stay with everything you need in one place! Will definitely be coming back to get in the raft on the creek in the summer!! :)- Holly , Posted: 01/17/2023
Perfect getaway
This is the perfect relaxed getaway. The cabin is well maintained. The kids loved playing basketball, four square, and in the creek, and eating s’mores around the fire. The deck is the perfect place to relax. It’s close to West Jefferson, hiking, and tubing; but also secluded for privacy. We will definitely be going back.- Anonymous U , Posted:

What a wonderful time we had. Beautiful views. Campfires. Seclusion.- Scott E from Lynchburg , Posted:
Fantastic getaway!
It was a beautiful place and very peaceful! The creek behind the cabin is very relaxing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and went down to Jefferson/West Jefferson, and stopped by the cheese factory/shop, which was amazing. We will definitely be staying again.- Hunter H from Charlotte CH, Posted:
Amazing Getaway!
We loved our stay at the river song retreat. It’s a beautiful location right along the creek. We went to West Jefferson on Saturday to explore. There was a great cheese shop, hiking stores, & several restaurants/breweries. The kids (11 &10 years old) enjoyed a campfire, basketball, frisbee golf, & exploring the wooded area around the house. I fished much of the day on Sunday and caught many sizable trout (rainbow, brown, and brook) out of Helton Creek that borders the property on a cold day. There were plenty of fish. The creek is delayed harvest so catch & release only prior to June 1. All in all, an awesome weekend and we’ll definitely be back.- Tom B from Forest, VA, Posted:
Peaceful
I plan to return to this cabin many times in the coming years, what a beautiful spot!- Anonymous U , Posted:
Peaceful family time
My son and I spent a few days fishing together, watching basketball, cooking on the grill, shooting hoops, and mostly unplugging. It was a refreshing retreat for both of us. The space was clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything transpired as I expected it to. I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to fish, relax, or both.- Anonymous U , Posted:
Perfect Getaway!
The moment you drive up, the relaxing atmosphere sets in. The creek running by the property is simply breathtaking, and perfect in any season! Whether relaxing in the hot tub, or simply enjoying lunch on the beautiful deck, this home is sure to impress! Inside is cozy and spacious, with ample room for the whole family. I will most certainly be booking this again in the near future!- Anonymous U , Posted:
Amazing property will go back many times
It is a beautiful property, I plan to bring the family many times. Fun spots to fish, a few swimming hole spots. Well worth the price.- Kyle C from Forest, Posted:
