At the historic River House Country Inn and Restaurant in Grassy Creek, NC (near West Jefferson), you can enjoy a tranquil breakfast overlooking majestic mountain vistas, the North Fork New River, and… grazing cows. The land the River House rests on was bought in the early 1800s by miner Meredith Ballou when Ashe County was just established. In 1943, the namesake cottage was added. Now, it serves as a #hiddentreasure of Appalachia, which extends traditional Appalachian hospitality to visitors. A year ago, I was invited to play the violin at a wedding here, and I fell in love with the beautiful and quaint landscape. It also hosts many events in its main cottage. When I went to take this picture, a piano recital was in progress. I am glad I was able to visit the breathtaking property once more! #appalachianechoes

"We love staying here for our annual fishing trip! The house is wonderful. The yard is extremely spacious and very kid friendly. It is always stocked with everything needed and very clean! "

"Homey and comfortable, relaxing. Location perfect for hiking, stargazing, or just being disconnected. "

"The kids (4&7) had a blast!! They got to ride horses, collect eggs, feed the animals and go fishing. It was a great stay. Walton makes it even more special. We highly recommend!!!"

"Great place, well done, clean and quiet. We needed a place for some last minute change of plans and Christopher was quick to respond and very accommodating! Will try to book this again for our next trip here."

"We spent most of our time out on the porch taking in the view. We hated to leave."

"We've been to many, many VRBOs and this by far was the best. Perfect location, great hiking, and so relaxing on the many porches. We definitely will be back."

"We enjoyed our stay here. Great for the value. More house than cabin like. A little dated but clean and comfortable. Thank you. "

"Very convenient for attending a wedding at the Fussel Farm."

"This was a great place for living the pioneer lifestyle and learning firsthand the challenges, realities, and benefits of slowing down to non-electric and non-refrigeration times. The facility was as advertised and the host Walton was very helpful but not intrusive. If you are interested in helping around the farm, be sure to ask. There's always plenty to do. Great do-it-yourself experience."

"We stayed one night while we were in the area getting our annual Christmas tree. Location was just as described. Host was incredibly responsive. The views were out of this world - sunrise, sunset, deer everywhere. Would definitely stay here again."

"This is our second time staying here, and we love it."

"Excellent accommodations for our 50 age group. Comfy beds, great shower. Friendly responsive host."

"This is the second time we stayed here, Vincent was a great host and we loved staying there. Hopefully we will do it again next year. "

"This is a great little place to get away for a few days. The river is beautiful and the location is very quiet and peaceful."

"While this is a rural location, it was a perfect location for us. We were visiting family near the area. We love animals and the many animals here were so much fun to stay near. The apartment is exactly as decribed and pictured. The space is clean and comfortable, with special and thoughtful touches everywhere. Breakfast was offered as an up charge and it was well worth it. It was beautifully presented and delicious. We will return to this area again to visit family and we will be booking this...

"Had a great family time! Place was well appointed. Would stay there again."

"Old farmhouse close to Sparta. Was clean and the bedrooms were nice. We enjoyed our stay."

"This house is perfect for our annual family trip, looking for a tree. Its very clean, cozy and off the beaten path. We love Ashe county and look forward to coming again."
