The area hosts a wide variety of outdoor recreation all four seasons of the year. In the spring and summer enjoy hiking, biking and camping along the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as canoeing, tubing and fishing along the historic New River. In Autumn, leaf lookers from near and far come to gaze upon the colorful pallete of the High Country. A fall season in the North Carolina Mountains is sure to be a crowd pleaser. In the winter season the area is still bustling with the holiday shoppers in downtown West Jefferson and Blowing Rock. There is also great skiing in the area within a short 30 to 45 minute drive in Boone and Banner Elk.

Gaze off the covered porch and look out over Mountain Aire Golf Club, only minutes from the cabin. The new remodeled Mountain Aire offers a championship 18 hole golf course with magnificent views and rates are reasonable. The golf course offers a demanding round of golf for every skill level.

Enjoy shopping, dining and all day entertainment in downtown West Jefferson. Downtown offers a variety of restaurants, from down-home cooking to fine dining experiences. Locall owned boutiques and art galleries line the streets offering a unique mix of art, pottery, jewelry, quilts and one of a kind handmade crafts.
