Retreat at Riverbend

Welcome to Retreat at Riverbend, the cozy getaway that you will want to come back to again and again! 

Nestled just beyond the trees, enjoy views of the peaceful banks of the picturesque New River in West Jefferson.   This charming 1-bedroom home is a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. Thoughtfully built, the house boasts contemporary design and top-notch amenities, promising a delightful escape for a weekend getaway.

Step inside to discover a cozy and thoughtfully decorated living space, where large windows invite the serene seasonal views of the river in the winter and surrounding greenery in the summer. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen comes fully stocked, ready for culinary adventures or a leisurely breakfast before a day of exploration.

Climb the spiral staircase to the open loft where you'll find a comfortable queen bed adorned with plush linens and tasteful decor. There is also a king size sleeper sofa in the living room for additional guests! The full bathroom is located just off the kitchen on the main level.

Step outside onto the private deck to breathe in the fresh air and during the cooler months, enjoy panoramic views of the New River just beyond the trees. The outdoor space is perfect for sipping morning coffee, unwinding with a good book, or sharing a romantic sunset with a loved one. A grill and outdoor seating enhance the experience, allowing you to indulge in al fresco dining while surrounded by nature. Enjoy an evening under the stars by the fire pit on a chilly summer or fall evening. The perfect way to wind down following a fun filled day exploring!
