When you relax in your rocking chair on the deck of Riverbend Chalet, you'll feel like you're at the top of the world. From here you can see for miles and miles, above the treetops, to the mountain peaks beyond. Jaw-dropping in all seasons!

Riverbend Chalet also gives you the convenience of an awesome location in Fleetwood Falls – a lovely neighborhood with terrific amenities. This private community has its own lake, waterfall and New River access! The lake is a true bonus for vacationers, offering catch-and-release fishing, a walking trail, a picturesque lakeside gazebo with picnic tables, and a grilling station. Don't miss a nature hike through the wooded ravine to the falls.

The community's common area at the edge of the New River gives you easy access to fishing, swimming, tubing, kayaking and canoeing – for days of fun and adventure. Nearby river outfitters are ready to hook you up with any equipment or instruction you need.

Riverbend Chalet is the place to soak in the natural beauty of the High Country, with its fantastic views and natural setting. A picnic table nestled into the woods among the flowering mountain laurels is the perfect spot for cookouts, and there's a charcoal grill right off the kitchen for your convenience.

The home's interior maintains the close-to-nature ambiance, with wide windows for enjoying the majestic views. Close out the evening with a hot beverage as you cuddle inside, soothed by the warm crackle and glow of the cozy stone fireplace. The open floorplan is designed for socializing with friends and family members. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped for meals at home.

On the main level you'll find a bedroom with a queen bed and full bath. Upstairs is another queen bedroom, as well as a loft with two twins.

Explore The High Country

Riverbend Chalet has easy access to the towns, venues and activities that brought you to the mountains. The home is located halfway between West Jefferson and Boone, and only 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge parkway. In the quaint town of West Jefferson you'll find restaurants and a wonderful array of shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. You can watch cheese being made at the Ashe County Cheese Factory, stroll the charming main street, or even grab a movie at the inexpensive theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.

Save a day for exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in America. Take advantage of the awe-inspiring photo opps and hiking trails. In this special part of the world, the wonder of Mother Nature presents itself at every turn. From the Parkway you can easily access Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State, or visit our craft breweries.

For the bicycle enthusiast in the family, Riverbend Chalet is only 2 minutes from the scenic Railroad Grade Road – a popular bike route that meanders along the river from Fleetwood to Todd, known for its old-time charm, with bluegrass entertainment and arts and crafts festivals throughout the season.

If you're visiting in the summer, enjoy endless activities. If you're craving a snowy mountain winter enjoy sledding, snowboarding, skating – and don't forget skiing – all winter long too.

Secluded Mountain View

Excellent stay on top of the mountain with a beautiful view from the deck for miles and miles. This is a great spot if you want to be alone. It is important that you realize this house is on top of a mountain. It is NOT suited for someone in a wheelchair. The walk from the parking spot to the house is up a severe incline. If you want to go for a walk on the road, it is a very steep road. This is great if you want to be isolated and everyone in your party is fit enough to climb stairs. We stayed in the summer, so no ice or snow. I imagine in the winter it can be tricky navigating ice. I would not drive up to the house on that road without a 4x4 vehicle (in winter). The house is very nice and well taken care of. Two bedrooms have AC, but the house does NOT have AC. So, be aware if it is summer, you have fans in the living spaces, but only AC in two bedrooms. It was a very relaxing stay for us in May 2025. Things that could be improved: add ESPN to the house cable package, put screen doors on the two sliding doors to help with air-flow and keep out bugs, fix the propane set-up, the hose (to the bottle) is too short and can become kinked, add yellow bulbs on the outside fixtures (to minimize the attraction of bugs), the stand up lamp near the fireplace needs a plastic lamp switch (it was missing for us). Thank you for the nice stay. We loved the house and the view.

Not expecting to be disappointed. But we were and decided for health reasons to leave.

After a lengthy 5 1/2-hour drive, our family arrived at the Riverbend Cabin, excited based on the photos and descriptions we had seen. Unfortunately, we were met with significant disappointment. First and foremost, there was no firewood available for the fireplace, which was a letdown for us. We love to cook our own meals and while the cabin had plenty of plates, glasses, and utensils, many of the cooking items were dirty and unsanitary. I felt compelled to clean dirty pots and pans that were carelessly stored under the counter, which was frustrating, especially during a holiday stay.The cabin's overall cleanliness was concerning; there is a questionable white substance in a small dawn bottle, and only a towel was provided for washing. Additionally, old, slimy bottles of olive oil and other condiments were left behind. To add to our discomfort, we noticed a stuffy atmosphere accompanied by floating particles in the air, likely due to crumbling plaster on the walls, causing us to cough and feel unwell.The condition of the furnishings was not much better; stained curtains and uncomfortable, possibly unclean bedding contributed to a restless night. Ultimately, we made the decision to leave after the first night due to the unsatisfactory conditions. While the Stay Blue Ridge team facilitated a partial refund, our experience left us feeling disheartened. We won't consider staying at a Blue Ridge rental again.

Time at Riverbend Chalet

This chalet was exactly what we were looking for. We loved sitting on the porch and there were 4 comfortable rocking chairs which was perfect for our party. The view was amazing and the setting was very private, even though we had homes on both sides. We could hear the river from the deck which was shaded until 11 and after 4. We were there at the end of August and was very comfortable. The driveway was too steep to park in but we had room for our two cars at the bottom. It was a bit of a trek to the house. There were plenty of electrical outlets and all were labeled making it easy to control lights and fans. There was plenty of hot water and great water pressure in the showers. WiFi was great, and we didn’t use the tv so couldn’t verify! We loved hiking trails at Moses Cone and Jefferson State Park. We would recommend the property and hope to book again!

Beautiful & Cozy Home in an Incredible Location

We spent an amazing two weeks at this home at the beginning of June (not too hot out yet!). We cannot recommend this place enough! Spacious, cozy, and truly in the most beautiful natural environment. Great quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Close to tons of great hiking, swimming, boating, horseback riding, fishing, and more. The view from the back porch is purely mountains and forest—No civilization in sight :) I was initially concerned about what kind of access we would have to groceries, as we keep kosher and I am vegan, but it turns out there are a few towns nearby (about 20 min drive) with everything you need. We were very impressed by the selection at Ingles (the grocery chain) in West Jefferson—Has tons of options for all dietary needs. We also recommend the trail ride at Hidden Pastures Trails!

1st Mountain Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very Quiet location with fantastic views!! It is on top of the mountains not close to the New River and long walk down hill. With a slight change in plans, we still enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend to friends and have on the list to come back. One thing that needs to be shared is to let us know the driveway is a steep incline. We were glad that we came in one vehicle. There is little parking space at the end of the street.

Short Post-Easter Vacay

This was a lovely cabin on top of the mountain. We particularly enjoyed fishing in the river at the neighborhood entrance. We never did find the lake, but that’s ok - we stayed busy without it. If you like fishing, River Girl Fishing Company in Todd Is a great resource. Not sure why so many complaints about the “driveway” – it’s really more of a parking spot as it doesn’t go all the way up to the house, but not a big deal. We just parked at the bottom of the hill, on the road. But it is true that it is not for those with mobility issues. We love that it was dog friendly, although there wasn’t much of a yard to speak of. House smelled nice and was generally clean, although there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I’d recommend a newer TV as it won’t display HD channels, but the cable and Internet worked well. Be prepared to feel the effects of the high elevation, but the view is worth it!

On top of the world

Great getaway to the Blue Ridge mountains. This cabin is on a hilltop in a community with very narrow roads just to warn you, but well worth the adrenalin boosting ride! This sits on top of the mountain overlooking the New River below. It’s a gorgeous view from the main and loft levels as well as the great deck. Fireplace wonderful, may want to make sure there is dry firewood before you arrive;) Simply stocked essentials with everything we would need. Very cozy and felt like home. Would love to stay here again when in the area

We walked from the cabin down to Fleetwood Falls and it was well worth the walk. It was about 17 minutes each way. We would definitely stay again. Beautiful views and felt secluded.
