APP State of Mind is a retreat to the mountains with views and an ideal location as a base for exploration. It's private, but not isolated, with other cabins not too far away. You are very close to the river in this neighborhood – in fact, you are close to everything but you'll feel like you are a world apart, which is just what we come to the mountains for.

The covered porches and gazebo beckon you to sit and take in the views. It's a perfect place to read with your favorite cup of tea, coffee or wine, or just sit and be with the lovely setting. Your kids will enjoy playing in the grassed yard, and all of you can take advantage of the good gravel roads in the neighborhood for walking. Everyone will enjoy an evening of S'mores around the outside fire pit!

Inside, the cabin's architecture is expansive, with vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. In the evenings or cold weather season, the family can gather around the gas-log fireplace to play games or enjoy streaming on the smart TVs.

On the main floor there's a master bedroom a comfy King bed, and a second bedroom with a queen. Upstairs you'll find a large loft with bunk beds plus a twin, and another bathroom. Definitely room to spread out.

You can't beat this cabin's location.

You'll be 10 to 15 minutes to much of what draws people to Ashe County, including West Jefferson, a happening town with galleries, antiques, two movie theaters, shops, restaurants and festivals. In the other direction you've got Glendale Springs, with the wonderful Greenhouse Crafts Shop, plus the Northwest Trading Post for a variety of art and crafts. You can pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway there, too. Take in the famous scenic views whether you go north or south. Go north and check out Doughton Park and the historic Brinegar cabin, where you'll learn what life was like for a large family in a tiny cabin. Head south to the Moses Cone Park, with awesome trails and an arts and crafts gallery shop.

Less than 10 minutes from the cabin you can jump in the water and play at Elk Shoals, Ashe County's newest park. Or put your kayaks in near the cabin and take out at Elk Shoals, about a 3-4 hour float. If you don't have your own, you can rent canoes and kayaks from Zaloo's just north of Glendale Springs or head south toward Todd and rent from River Girl Fishing, which also rents bikes for the pleasant – and level – ride along Railroad Grade Road, which offers a 20-mile trip from Todd to Fleetwood to Todd again.

From here you are also about 30 minutes from all that Boone has to offer, another 15 beyond that to Blowing Rock with even more shops, dining and antiques.

But, we also invite you to consider time just chilling. It's your option. APP State of Mind offers it all.

Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.

Perfect Spot

This was our first time in this area and we chose it mostly for the cabin which had room for our family of 6. To our pleasant surprise, we were situated in the perfect location to enjoy West Jefferson, the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved exploring all the area had to offer and then coming back to our sweet cabin to sit in the hot tub and make s’mores. We made so many wonderful memories here and already can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful and very comfortable cabin in private setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute and very clean cabin with everything we needed, more than expected. Enjoyed sitting on the deck after a fun day exploring the area. Only negative was the long and curvey one-lane road to the cabin.

The property was spacious and just as described. The hot tub was great. Everything worked and plenty of kitchenware to make meals. I didn’t like all of the dog hair everywhere and the road was pretty steep which I was not prepared for. It should be mentioned in the property detail.

Spectacular

What a beautiful home located in the mtns just 15 mins to Downtown West Jefferson. The place was big, clean , easy check in with exceptional communication. The views are amazing, hot tub we used in the evening which was easy to use and very clean. The house had all the amenities so we were able to cook our meals after our hikes and enjoy on the one of several chairs, swings , porches throughout the property. Thank you and we will most certainly be back! Lisa and Ray Jeanne and Grover

Wonderful Cozy Cabin

My family and I spent a brief weekend here and loved it. It was very cozy, as aspect that was very appealing for my wife. Space for our kids to have their own area with the loft. The hot tub was a hit. The amenities were great. Coffee maker worked quick. A quiet area. All the things needed for a nice getaway.

Excellent stay

This cabin was very cute and perfect for what we were looking for. The views from the front porch are AMAZING this time of the year! We got here just in time for the peak views! The cabin did have lady bug issues and wasps issues but other than that it was perfect! The driveway to get up is steep but that’s going to be anywhere with a good view! Definitely staying here again.

Peaceful getaway

Cabin was very clean upon arrival and well maintained. Property is a little less than a mile up a gravel road and nicely tucked away in the mountain. It was very quiet and peaceful… nice place to sit on the porch in the morning and watch the deer pass through. The fire pit area was nice too and the kids loved playing cornhole in the driveway. They also loved having their own loft upstairs and playing the board games. The beds and furniture were very comfortable as well. Would stay here again.

Peace and tranquillity

My husband and I needed a little getaway. West Jefferson is our favorite place. The cabin provided just what we were looking for. It was private and we were able to take in the beauty of our surroundings and even take our dog, Liebe on nice walks. She love her stay also. We visited one of our favorite places, Ashe County Cheese! We brought back goodies for everyone. The cabin was very clean and did not disappoint. We enjoyed the hot tub and utilized the grill. My husband raved over the grill. He loves to cook on charcoal. He cooked the best t-bones. This cabin was centrally from all of our favorite places. We enjoyed our entire stay. If you get a chance, soak in the little town of West Jefferson. The Hillbilly Grill and Boondocks were amazing. We are back home now and can’t wait till our next visit. I give the location and cabin a five- star rating.

Sweet Retreat

We loved the cozy cabin & enjoyed our campfire suppers on the hillside. The inside was very clean and cozy throws felt soooo good for porch time. The back porch & hot tub cover were dusty (maybe from cornhole game??), but we were pleased with our stay. Steep road up from the highway, but my Nissan Sentra made it in low gear. Thanks for sharing your cabin!

West Jefferson area rebtal

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location - about 19 minutes outside of West Jefferson. Quietest property we have stayed at. At the top of the hill, we only saw 2 vehicles up there on the road. Kind is steep drive but we did fine in Spring on a car. In winter you would probably need 4 wheel drive. Beds were comfortable. Winds kept us from using the fire pit. Hot tub was relaxing. The one complaint would be no TV unless you use your own private accounts for Netflix, Hulu, etc. Some folks don't have services or can't remember passwords once they get there. Overall nice cabin in nice, quiet location.

Nice area on large front or back porch, and fire pit up the hill with plenty of seating. Large parking area for larger vehicles a plus, drive to the property is smaller, but it's the mountains.

I Miss it Already!

Wow...Not much more to say than that. This was a PERFECT cabin for our family! Everything was amazing. I MISS IT! Cabin was spotless, beds and couches were super comfy (love that four of the seats recline), internet had great connection, and there was the perfect amount of space for us to spread out a little, but still be together. We enjoyed using the fire pit to hang out, make s'mores, play games, and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine. The indoor fireplace was used A LOT (especially those first couple of days/nights when we had some snow flurries) and we occasionally fought over who got to sit on the end of the couch closest to it. The kitchen had absolutely everything I needed to cook and I was able to easily and comfortably make several meals. The view and walk along down the neighborhood road/river was beautiful and peaceful. We barely saw anyone driving in or out during our 4 night stay (so quiet). The strings lights off the loft and on the gazebo just made my teenage daughter's heart so happy (she loves those lights)! The area was gorgeous and we visited The Dan'l Boone Inn for dinner one night (a must visit for our family when staying anywhere nearby), stopped at Ashe County Cheese, enjoyed an escape room & apothecary at Great Southern Gothic (SO FUN!), enjoyed some hiking at the Mount Jefferson State Natural Area (the Mountain Ridge Trail is NO JOKE, but totally worth it!), saw some amazing views along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and stopped in at the New River State Park (Elk Shoals) for some river/water fun (just the toes...). We also just chilled a little - and we were ok with that! We had more we wanted to do/see, but "so much to do, so little time". If I absolutely HAD to find something wrong, it was that the "Dining Pass" mentioned in the welcome binder was not on the fridge so we didn't get to use that (which would have been nice), but that is literally me grasping for something to "complain" about. Trust me, you won't be disappointed if you stay here! :)
