Retreat at Riverbend

Welcome to Retreat at Riverbend, your idyllic riverside retreat!  

Nestled along the banks of the picturesque New River in West Jefferson, this charming 1-bedroom home is a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. Newly constructed, the house boasts contemporary design and top-notch amenities, promising a delightful escape for a weekend getaway.

Step inside to discover a cozy and thoughtfully decorated living space, where large windows invite the serene views of the river and surrounding greenery. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen comes fully stocked, ready for culinary adventures or a leisurely breakfast before a day of exploration.

Upstairs in the open loft you'll find a comfortable queen bed adorned with plush linens and tasteful decor. There is also a king size sleeper sofa in the living room for additional guests! The full bathroom is located just off the kitchen on the main level.

Step outside onto the private deck to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy panoramic views of the New River. The outdoor space is perfect for sipping morning coffee, unwinding with a good book, or sharing a romantic sunset with a loved one. A grill and outdoor seating enhance the experience, allowing you to indulge in al fresco dining while surrounded by nature.
