All The Amenities

Jackson's Ridge is perched on a hilltop overlooking the Historic New River perfect for swimming, fishing, tubing, kayaking, hiking and picnicking. This vacation rental offers private and direct access to the water, just a short stroll from the house. Trees on both sides of this lovely mountain retreat afford you the privacy you're looking for, while the wide and wonderful double-decker porch provides beautiful river, hilltop and pastoral views.

Jackson's Ridge's bright open floorplan makes socializing with your friends and family a breeze. The expansive covered deck on the main level is the ideal place to enjoy outdoor grilling, dining, entertaining or serene solitude, surrounded by the wonders of nature. Inside, the spacious living area features large windows open to the view, a vaulted ceiling, beautiful hardwood floors, a flatscreen TV and a gas log fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen offers ample work space and is open to the living and dining areas.

You will truly be master of this domain when you close out the day in the hot tub and then come directly inside to your primary bedroom, with a comfy queen-sized bed and private bath. This primary suite is located on the lower level, where you'll also find the laundry room, for your convenience.

This lower level, which also includes a large family room with TV and a foosball game, opens to the lower deck as well as the yard, with a lovely, manicured lawn in the front, facing the river. On the side of the house you'll enjoy evenings around the private fire pit, so be sure to pack your ingredients for s'mores (also available in West Jefferson's nearby supermarkets). Amazing star-gazing guaranteed.

The main upper level also includes two bedrooms – one with a queen size bed and one with a king. These bedrooms share an additional full bath.

Explore The High Country!

Jackson's Ridge overlooks the river, halfway between Glendale Springs and West Jefferson, in the heart of the High Country. From this base you can explore a huge variety of attractions or you can stick around home and play on the river!

The nearby Glendale Springs Inn offers a wonderful dinner menu, for those special nights out. You'll also find great restaurants in the town of West Jefferson, only 15-minutes away. This is small-town Americana at its finest, with a wonderful combination of charm and culture. Here you'll find antiques, galleries, wine tasting and the famous Ashe Co. Cheese Factory. The old-fashioned country store also offers delicacies like homemade fudge, ice cream, salsas and local jams. Explore all of Main Street, and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.

Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Don't miss your photo opportunities along the legendary Blue Ridge Parkway. And remember that here in Blue Ridge Country, the journey is as satisfying as the destination, with gorgeous scenery at every turn.

In the winter enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing or ice skating at one of the many area resorts. Warmer months are also a perfect time for horseback riding, and fun family sightseeing adventures. Mine for gems, attend a craft festival, or ride the Tweetsie Railroad!

Family Summer Fun

First off I really enjoyed the central location to access the parkway and the south fork of the New River and to town whether Jefferson or W. Jefferson. The porches were great for sunning and for meals. The main road can get loud at times, but we were on the river rafting or at a park or on a trail all of the time we were not at the house. I didn't mind it, but if you aren't doing all those things then then the cars could be annoying at times. However, they honestly aren't always going by, but just at busier times and mostly in packs so there are absolutely times when its quiet. Personally it wasn't my complaint but it was my wife's and it has merit but there are many reasons to still stay here. Its priced fair, it has a hot tub, it has river access and the layout of the home is nice. The kitchen has all that you need and you can pull the car right up to the back porch. It's for the most part private less one neighbor but they were very nice the one time we talked, they offered an alternative way to get to the river access which was very nice of them. We had a great stay and the main living room and kitchen area is very homey feeling. Nothing is cluttered and lets you feel like you are right at home for your stay! The foosball table is nice and it is fun to get the family entertained for an hour at night. I enjoyed the help from the property manager and have nothing negative to say about our experience. Thank you for opening your home!

It was okayish.

The house is beautiful, but it’s not as secluded as thought. The road below is well used and cars can be heard on it regularly. While the river is visible, it’s not accessible and is on private land. Beds were comfy, living room was nice. However, I was attacked by a spider in the bed overnight, and woke up with 10+ bites that are itchy, red, hot, and have tripled in size. When communicated, the manager said she’d get the pest guys thoughts on the matter. We could not figure out how to turn the showers on. There was no pull or switch, so no one was able to shower until management got back to us Saturday night after contacting the housekeeper. While it was okay, this house is not on our “return to” list.

Nice and peaceful.

The place was well stocked and clean. I loved that there was a multitude of different kitchen appliances and utensils. The only worry I have is that the street signs are not accurate. You are going to have to be good with looking at a map. Also during the winter months the gravel driveway probably is not the best thing. You guys should consider reinforcing the driveway with more gravel.

Nice home, good and rested week stay. Only a couple of issues. The bottom deck posts needs to be addressed (they are bowing and seems to be a weight issue) and renters have to purchase items not available to renters, such as trash bags for one.

Relaxing and beautiful

We had an excellent experience! The house was exactly as advertised. Clean, safe, and a lovely place to meet up with family/friends. The young kiddos and the pup were all happy and entertained. We were a little concerned about them on the porch due to railings with loose wood. But we just kept them off the upper deck. The hot tub was clean and in a great location to stargaze at night. Beautiful mountain and river view. We had no problem with the driveway at all and it was very rainy for a few days. Of note, we had to go back out for toilet paper. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and such, dishwasher available, some leftover spices from previous stays. Bed were comfy. Would definitely stay again.

Our trip was very lovely! Location was very nice and had a nice view. Only issue we ran into was actually finding the road that it was on. We were looking for the road on the left and it’s was on the right the whole time. It was very clean and seemed to have everything we needed. Definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again!!

Pat’s Place

The arrival was the challenging part. We had trouble accessing the key. Because there is really no cell phone connectivity, we had to drive to town to find out what the problem was and were promptly told what to do. When we went back and accessed the place, it had obviously not been cleaned. There were towels in the bathtub, sheets that were in unmade beds and other evidence that the cleaning had not taken place. We were able to email the manager using the Wi-Fi and then a cleaning crew was in the house within an hour. The cleaning crew ladies were absolutely great and very apologetic. They had just gotten the date wrong. After that initial confusion, we truly enjoyed staying at the property. The views from the two front porches were spectacular at night and during the day. There’s a decent amount of traffic on the highway but that’s not really too distracting. We stayed there five nights and really enjoyed our time spent there.

I enjoyed my stay at this property. Clean for the most part i did notice water damage in the basement level and dog hair on every cushion outside. Property was as described. I was a little misled by the pictures and expected to have direct river access. I would stay again here or at another one of their properties in the future. I was extremely pleased with check in and out process. Instructions were clear and property management was available if needed but allowed you your privacy

Bad luck or bad management?

The house is great, sadly the day before we got there something had leaked all over the bottom bedroom carpet. We were not told about it and the property manager called us to see if it was okay. We told them the carpet was soaked and were advised to not use this bedroom as the carpet would have to be dried. We were told we would get a partial refund but nothing yet. It advertised the use of a BBQ, but there was only enough gas for one night and toilet paper for a couple of days. We have stayed in out of the way back country cabins with more toilet paper. I have addressed this as well and asked if the refund they offered was enough. Now silence and no refund at all. I will be contacting them again.

They knew the ground floor was flooded before we arrived! AND IT IS NOT ON THE RIVER

We paid for a 3 bedroom 2 bath house at Jackson’s Ridge “on the water,” and the third bedroom on the bottom floor was flooded and very stinky and completely unusable when we arrived. We called management right away, and we were told..... the problem was already known about!!!! Since we were only going to be there for two nights, we were NOT going to deal with maintenance coming and taking up all of our vacation time fixing someone else’s house. Why weren’t we made aware of the situation so that we could make other plans????? Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update the listing. The house in not on the river. We chose the house SOLEY because the description is very misleading and stated that it was on the river. Across the street and over a busy road is NOT on the river. At all. Edited: I “think” they changed the listing to state that the house is not ON the river. I’m not sure. StayBlueRidge is the managing company, and they WILL NOT do anything for you if a problem arises. Please choose another house. There are so many beautiful houses to rent in this beautiful area!!!

Review of Jackson ridge

Very clean and very nice place to stay. Every thing is 5 star, however it says something in the description about water front swimming and kayaking along with fishing and we didn’t see where we could do so . Although we went to a kayaking place 30 minutes away that was also very good.
