Homeplace 1936 | Walk to Downtown West Jefferson | Historic High Country Stay

Built in 1936 and full of nostalgic charm, Homeplace 1936 invites you to experience the slower rhythm of a classic mountain town.

--------------------------------------------
Indoor Spaces
- Sleeping arrangements: Homeplace 1936 sleeps 7 across three bedrooms. The main-floor king bedroom includes a tiled tub-and-shower combination in the private bathroom and offers convenient access without the need for stairs. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with queen beds that share a newly renovated bathroom.
- Main level: The entry opens into a comfortable living room with a television and plenty of seating. Nearby, a separate dining room seats six guests. The vintage-inspired kitchen maintains the home's historic personality while providing everything needed to prepare meals during your stay.
- Upper level: Upstairs bedrooms feature charming details and comfortable furnishings, creating inviting and restful spaces after a day exploring the area.

Local Surroundings
- Homeplace 1936 sits just two blocks from the heart of West Jefferson, where you'll discover art galleries, unique shops, restaurants, and seasonal events.
- Visit the well-known Ashe County Cheese to watch cheese being made and browse the country store filled with regional favorites. Downtown WJ also features breweries, cafés, antique stores, and a historic movie theater, giving visitors plenty to explore within a compact area.
- Boone and Blowing Rock are an easy 30-to-40-minute drive away, offering expanded dining, entertainment, and shopping, along with Appalachian State University events and attractions. Here, you'll find even more walking trails and hiking hot spots. In the winter, you can visit Appalachian Ski Mountain for a day on the slopes (there's even snowtubing for youngsters and the young-at-heart).
- The New River is about 20 minutes away and offers tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities, with many local outfitters available.
- The surrounding mountains provide year-round recreation, including hiking, horseback riding, scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and vibrant fall foliage that will take your breath away.

- Access: Homeplace 1936 is easily accessible from the main road. If you plan on exploring the more remote parts of the High Country, or if you are visiting in the winter, we recommend AWD or 4WD.
- Security Disclaimers: Exterior cameras keep an eye on the home's public outdoor areas for your safety (& so we can check road and driveway conditions in the winter!)

The house is quite convenient for walking to downtown West Jefferson or the park. It is also close to Mount Jefferson for hiking/picnic/scenic overlook and not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway for a relaxing drive. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it was clean and everything worked well for us. We'd come back here again if we ever have opportunity to vacation in West Jefferson again.

It was a beautiful property quite lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The only criticism we had was the mildew smell in the master bathroom, which could have come from the shower curtain that was more of a cloth than a plastic liner.

Could use improvement with landscaping, house is old, quaint, clean. Downstairs bathroom could use updating, hard to see in bathroom mirror. Lacking basic necessities like toilet paper, tissue and bath towels. Loved the location and had an overall fun weekend.

Clean, convenient - high host fees

Clean, bright, nicely redone old house just a couple of short blocks from "Main Street" (Jefferson Ave). No dishwasher or washing machine - which was no problem for us. Nicely outfitted kitchen with all the basics, plus a french press. Lots of old house character. Very nice to have a bedroom and daybed (in the sunroom) on the first floor. Upstairs bedrooms don't allow closet access and there's not really anywhere to hang clothing (fold-down hanger in one room would hold a few light items). Plenty of linens for kitchen and baths. Perfect for a girls' getaway weekend. However, the host and service fees add up to more than 300 - which was more than the weekend rental total. Rather misleading, but probably wouldn't be such a big deal if you're staying longer. Of course, we knew this before we booked, but if you're searching by price this looks much cheaper than it actually ends up being.

Much needed getaway

Nice quite neighborhood. House was beautifully restored, lawn and landscaping was perfect. I absolutely loved the kitchen, took me back to memories of my grandmothers house. Towels were very nice and plentiful. Bedding was quite comfortable, we couldn’t find a blanket though. The only complaint is you have to take your trash with you. In all of our years renting through VRBO that was a first. We had no contact whatsoever with the property manager but was required to mark a star.

Lovely little home, clean and charming

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location, very convenient for walking downtown. Shrubbery is a bit grown up and parking a little tight if you have a larger vehicle. We loved the charm of this older home, though the upstairs does have trouble getting as cool as the downstairs. Be aware that the fridge is on the small side and there is no dishwasher. We ate out mostly so it wasn't a problem.
