Had a fantastic experience! From ease of check-in to beautiful views, fun activities and comfy beds - it was a great getaway. Bluff Mountain Retreat was perfect for our party of 7 (that included 3 boys age 13). The accommodations included everything we needed and more. The hot tub was relaxing and game room was entertaining. Even though it was a little chilly and rainy, we opted for an afternoon of Monopoly (from the game room). Love this rental property and West Jefferson! Can’t wait to go back!

Great mountain vacation home. Well stocked and clean

Nice house. No communication from rental agency …. Had to call them on day of check in. Place was clean and exactly as listed. Bathroom on first floor needs to be repaired but other than that great place.

Mountain Thanksgiving with family

The home was cozy and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfy and they had plenty of blankets. It had everything that was on the listing. The only negative was that we arrived at check in time which was 4:00 and they would not give us the code to get in because the cleaning lady was not finished and she was not even there. They finally agreed to give us the code and she came about 5 minutes later. She was pretty friendly.

Beautiful backdrop!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will want to come again! Beds were comfy, hot tub was clean, and you really can’t beat the views!! I would suggest bringing grippy socks or house slippers bc the floors are kind of slick.

Peaceful and relaxing

5 of us stayed for our annual girls’ trip. We loved sitting out on the balcony, used the hot tub, visited downtown and a nearby winery (highly recommend!) and hiked the Grayson highlands and saw the wild ponies.

Hot tub was slimy

One of the main reason we selected this property for our trip to Boone was the hot tub. When opening the top flap, there was a clear scent of algae, or a swampy smell. Even after turning on the bubbles that didn’t change anything. The surface underwater felt slimy to the touch. The water was ever so lightly green? We were very disappointed with the state of the hot tub. Saturday around 5:30 PM was when we discovered this issue, and we called the rental property phone number which led to voicemail. We left a message and but we never received a call back. Overall, very disappointed with our stay as this was the main perk we were looking forward to, and we couldn’t even use it, even though we had to sign a rental agreement prior to the stay, and the cleanliness of the hut tub was explicitly listed in the contract. Would mot recommend this place

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at Bluff Mtn retreat. The property had not been thoroughly cleaned, but upon calling the property manager they resolved the issue. The house was nice and accommodated our party of 9. It is a pet friendly home so there was lots of pet hair, which is to be expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Comfortable cabin with beautiful views

We just finished a three night stay at Bluff Mountain Retreat and had a great time. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated, had a well equipped kitchen, and provided the perfect amount of room for our family (three generations staying for the weekend). The beds were all very comfortable and we appreciated the ceiling fans in each room. The gas logs were nice and the view from the front porch and hot tub were beautiful. Hot water was plentiful for our party of 7. The property had carbon monoxide detectors. The small game room and selection of games was also popular. Bluff Mountain is easily accessible and convenient to West Jefferson. A couple of things that are good to know: the floors are real wood and are slick if you’re wearing socks (bring some slippers or socks with grippers if you feel the need); it’s windy in this little corner of the world—like rattle the windows at night windy. The wind didn’t bother us but it was a bit of surprise. The driveway is steep; it was easier for us to use the second entrance at the back of the house. The downstairs bedroom now has been updated since the picture; it now has two twins pushed together to make a king bed. Overall we’d recommend Bluff Mountain and would definitely stay there again. If you enjoy hiking, Mount Jefferson, Elk Knob, and Grayson Highlands are our favorite places close by or relatively close by that offer moderate hikes with great views and aren’t too crowded.
