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

Enchanting treehouse cabin with gorgeous mountain views!

"This was my second stay at the treehouse cabin and I will most definitely be back again. Everything about it is beautiful and cozy, and there’s just something magical about being there on the mountain. The surrounding mountain property is gorgeous and so much fun to explore. And the nearby town and restaurants were a big plus. Plenty of outdoor things to do nearby as well, but really you don’t even need to leave the property to hike and have a wonderful outdoor experience. The host was extremely kind and very responsive to our every need. I highly, highly recommend staying here."
