    Turnkey Log Cabin with Views, River Access, Community Pond & Solid Vacation Rental History! Mountain getaway? Income-producing vacation rental? Full-timing Mountain Living? This one is ready to check all the boxes. Tucked inside a paved, gated community with easy year-round access, this fully furnished log cabin delivers the mountain lifestyle everyone is looking for—long-range views, common area New River access, a community fishing pond, room for everyone, and a location that keeps you close to the best of the High Country. Just minutes from New River State Park, Zaloo’s Canoes, the New River, and not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this is the kind of place where weekends turn into traditions. Step inside and the cabin charm hits instantly. The open-concept main level features an eat-in kitchen with generous cabinet space, a vaulted great room with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, and a built-in wet bar ready for mountain evenings, game days, and guest weekends. From the great room, step onto the expansive covered porch and take in those beautiful long-range mountain views—the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply slowing down. The main-level primary suite feels like its own private retreat with double vanities, a whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, and direct access to the screened porch where the hot tub is ready and waiting. A convenient half bath on the main level makes hosting easy. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a full bath, giving family and guests plenty of room to spread out. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility and fun with a game room, full bath, laundry area, and a bonus room currently used for additional sleeping space but also ideal for a home office or hobby room. And for the four-legged family members? This cabin goes above and beyond with a finished indoor kennel space that opens directly to a fenced outdoor area—an incredible setup for pet lovers and vacation rental guests alike. Sold mostly furnished with only a few exclusions, this cabin is truly move-in or rent-out ready. With rental history available, strong lifestyle appeal, and access to highly desirable community amenities, it is a standout option for buyers looking for a personal retreat, second home, full-time mountain residence, or vacation rental investment. Enjoy the peace of the mountains while staying just a short drive from downtown West Jefferson, where you’ll find local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, art galleries, shopping, Ashe County Cheese, festivals, live music, and that small-town charm everyone loves. Whether you’re fishing at the community pond, paddling the New River, exploring the Parkway, or relaxing on the porch with a view, this cabin makes it easy to live the mountain life without giving up convenience. Views, space, hot tub, river access, community fishing pond, gated paved access, furnished setup, and rental potential—this one brings the whole package. Schedule your showing today before this mountain escape gets away. New HVAC 2026
