There is so much to explore in and around the West Jefferson area!

Wake up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the windows, and step onto the deck to savor a cup of coffee while taking in the panoramic views.

Venture outside, and you'll discover a private oasis that truly sets this home apart. A hot tub beckons, inviting you to unwind and soak in the tranquility while surrounded by the natural beauty of the landscape. A carefully crafted fire pit area awaits, perfect for gathering with friends and family under the starlit sky, sharing stories and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
