“Riverbend Retreat” Enjoy spectacular mountain views and the rolling hills of the Western North Carolina High Country while relaxing in a rocking chair on the covered front porch of this uniquely private log cabin. Let your worries drift away on the cool mountain breezes that make this area so special. Take a morning stroll through the quiet wooded community, pick some wild berries, and see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat instead of in a zoo. Spend your days floating down the scenic and historic New River in a kayak, canoe or river rafting tube, and be sure to stop for a picnic along its banks. Hike along some mountain trails, go horseback riding, or take pictures of mountain wildflowers. No matter the season, and whether you seek peace and quiet or want to add some adventure into your life, each day you spend in the High Country is a true getaway from the daily grind of everyday life.

You might choose to explore some of the many small communities that dot the landscape of Ashe County. West Jefferson, Lansing, Glendale Springs, and Todd are just a few, and they each offer their unique attractions, ranging from galleries and boutiques, to restaurants, a local vineyard winery, some of the best community theatre, a weekly Farmers Market, folk storytelling, open-air bluegrass music, and seasonal arts and music festivals.
