Retreat to the serenity the Appalachian Mountains just a 3½ hours’ drive from Raleigh NC. The Buffalo Bungalow is a beautiful home in a country setting but with easy access to the charming downtown West Jefferson Arts District with all the amenities; yet it is nestled in the mountains in a tranquil setting with abundant wildlife. Sleep in the forest’s symphony. Watch the fireflies signal their joy and see once again that there is a Milky Way. Escape pollution noise, crowds, tension and stress in the soft caress of the Blue Ridge. Air conditioning has been added for additional comfort in the summer months.

This two bedroom, one bathroom house is surrounded on 3 sides with mountains. The house sleeps 5 (King, full, twin, and couch) with linens included and features a large custom kitchen with a full complement of cookware, silverware, and small appliances, a cast iron gas stove in the living room, and hardwood floor throughout, along with a full sized washer and dryer. Be connected if you wish, there is wireless internet, phone and TV, but you can unwind, unplug, and get a much needed break in the clean mountain air. Entertainment is provided by 36” TV with Cable TV and Netflix. A DVD library with a few kids DVDs are provided. A selection of board and card games along with a few books is available. There is a large deck with a beautiful mountain view, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows or just chasing away the evening chill.

Enjoy this NC mountain private getaway in a relaxing country setting. You will see cows grazing in the nearby pasture, and depending on the time of year may enjoy watching the hummingbirds or get a glimpse of the wild turkeys or deer off the back deck. Enjoy just sitting on the deck, hiking in the Nature Preserve adjoining the back of the property.

Located just 6 miles from the town of West Jefferson where many festivals are held and many artisans keep shop. The town is a mecca of art galleries and other interesting shops, offers a few restaurants, bars, an ice cream parlor, and a coffee shop. Mary’s Episcopal Church containing 3 of Ben Long’s frescoes is nearby. This is the only place in NC where cheese is made, and you can watch at the Ashe County Cheese factory downtown. The Ashe County Arts Council showcases local artists with rotating exhibits and special events. West Jefferson hosts a Christmas in July festival and has 15 murals that create a walking tour throughout downtown. There are free summer concerts on the backstreet, a weekly Saturday and Wednesday farmers’ market, monthly gallery crawls, one of the biggest arts & crafts festivals in the high country, an antique festival, little theater performances, and annual holiday events.

Mount Jefferson State Park is just 9 miles away from the house and has fabulous views and a hiking trail. The Virginia Creeper Bike Path is just 45 minutes away while it is just 20 minutes to the New River for rafting. If you choose to visit area attractions, historic Todd, Glendale Springs, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Tweetsie Railroad, Blowing Rock, Boone NC, Mount Rogers and Grayson Highlands State Park, Pond Mountain, and Elk Knob State Park are all within 30 to 60 minutes’ drive.

Sorry, no pets and no smoking.
Please note there is house next door that is sometimes occupied. The deck and the living room of the cabin is set so there is no view of the house although the house is visible from the kitchen and master bedroom window.

    Very clean. Beautifully decorated and everything you could need is provided. You can tell the owners really take care of the cabin and care about your stay. Had an issue with heat when we checked in. Temperature had dropped like 20°. Called owners and was fixed in 5 minutes. Thank you.

    This was a great gateway for my finacè bday celebration and location not far from parks or West Jefferson downtown, good places to eat and shops, and a market near by about 5 min.. We went to Blowing Rock in downtown with good food and a nice walk. The weather was great 18 which we could have taken some trails but way too cold. The host were fast in responding, their cabin has beautiful views and very cozy which felt like home. Thank you

    This was our second time staying at the Buffalo Cabin. We first visited in June 2025 and loved it so much that we returned to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Both experiences were amazing! The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed to feel at home and cook wonderful meals. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Mike and Danna, and their sweet dog during our stay. Sitting on the front porch, listening to the sounds of nature, was incredibly relaxing. We’re already looking forward to our next stay at the Buffalo Cabin.

    The cabin was a perfect escape after a stressful summer take away in the mountains. It looked brand new, so fresh, clean and beautifully done. The pictures do not do it justice. The views were breathtaking. Inside everything was spotless and beautifully decorated. The host were incredibly kind and helpful, which made our stay more enjoyable. If I could change one thing, it would be having an extra half bath, but that was such a small deep detail compared to how peaceful and relaxing whole experience was it was exactly the getaway we needed. Would definitely stay there again!

    We came up for a day in West Jefferson & a night at Tweetsie Railroad with my granddaughter. This house was perfect for our stay! The host sent detailed directions including an alternate route in case of bad weather. We arrived after dark in a downpour of rain & had no problems at all finding it or getting in. I would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again. It was exactly as described and such a charming home. Thanks to the host for a great stay!

    Wonderful accommodations for a quick weekend to celebrate a birthday! Arrived to snow and beautiful scenery viewed from the cabin! The care taker showing up to make we were warm was a very welcome surprise! Leaving instructions received by email and ones printed in cabin were a little contradictory-(temp settings and washing instructions). Would love to go again sometime!
