Walnut Hill Estate

Where mountain farmhouse luxury meets antique, this restored 1926 home is just a short distance to downtown West Jefferson and its many restaurants, art galleries and quaint shops.

As you wind up the paved drive, you will find 4+ acres at this private estate that looks down on West Jefferson. Take in the seasonal mountain and town views while your cares melt away.

Inside this upscale modern farmhouse, you will find a relaxing atmosphere in every room. The spacious kitchen features stainless appliances and solid surface countertops.

A cozy breakfast nook is located off the kitchen. It offers a coffee bar complete with Keurig coffeemaker and gas log fireplace for warming up by on a cool Carolina Mountain morning.
Enjoy your freshly prepared meal and a glass of wine in the dining room with seating for 6. Featuring walnut wainscotting and French doors that lead outside to an inviting deck, this dining room is elegant and warm at the same time.

Just off the dining room is the living room complete with a cozy gas fireplace, comfy seating for at least eight and a wall mounted Smart TV. The front door leads to a rocking chair front porch when you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee while enjoying the views.

Also, on the main level featuring high ceilings are two bedrooms and a full hall bath. Both bedrooms feature comfy king size beds and smart TVs for your viewing pleasure. The front bedroom also offers access to the front porch. The full bath features a shower and tub combo.

Climb the stairs to the second level and you will find a spacious office space, hall bath, kids’ bedroom and an ensuite master. Wi-Fi is provided throughout the home and for those that need to work there’s also a desk.

The ensuite master features a king size bed, soaking tub, stand-up shower, and access to a private balcony.

The kids’ bedroom features two twin beds and a double bed complete with smart TV so they can watch their favorite streaming shows.

There is also a laundry room complete with washer and dryer for your convenience on the second level.

Outside, you will find a stone patio complete with firepit for roasting marshmallows or just spending a quiet evening under a starry sky.

Just steps away from the main house is the spacious studio style guest house decorated in the same luxury farmhouse style. Complete with seating, a comfy king bed, kitchen and bath with step-in shower, this guest house will accommodate two people. A Smart TV is provided as well along with Wi-Fi.

If you do wish to venture out, West Jefferson offers numerous restaurants, breweries, shops, and antique stores. You can walk downtown, and watch cheese being made at Ashe County Cheese, the only cheese factory in North Carolina or catch a movie. Take in the gorgeous Churches of Frescoes with painting by Ben Long.

  One of the best VRBO experiences ever. The house was clean and well stocked. The management company was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Easy to get to everywhere... winery, downtown shopping and grocery. Would not hesitate to recommend.

  Kc T from Laurens, SC recommends this vacation rental

  We ha led a very pleasant stay in the house! It was perfect for our group. We had 8 adults and one child. The area was wonderful as well!!!! The rental company went above and beyond to fix any issues that we had. The water in the cottage went out the first night and they made sure to send someone out to fix it the next morning at 6:30 in the morning so it wouldn’t disrupt our plans. I was very pleased with everything!

    We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Walnut Hill and appreciate you being understanding during the unforeseen water issue. So happy we could get it addressed quickly for you. We look forward to having you stay with us again.

  Our Family of 4 adults and 7 kiddos ages 2-17 had a fantastic stay! WE stayed to drive to Sugar to Snow tube. (1hr away) Deciding to stay last minute left us with NO other options than the dank hotels in Boone area.
  WE were dissapointed we couldn't stay in a near the river cabin this trip but seriously didn't miss it a bit this property was awesome! First the decor and the furnishings were beautiful, updated and fresh. The beds( ALL) were top of the line and the sheets luxurious. The no fuss fireplace, fire pits, many decks, well stocked kitchen, plenty parking, and cleanliness of the house were all a plus! WE rented the additional Mother in Law suit- It had it all for the couple staying in our party-THE ONLY SUGGESTION TO THE PROPERTY MGR- PLEASE LIGHT THE PATHWAY from HOUSE to MIL SUITE- Dangerous at night!!!- Carry a flashlight until this is addressed!!!
  The only things we were missing was a hot tub and a game table of some sort for the kids. The location to WJ was amazing only a 5 min ride in the car to Downtown. Carolina MP is a WONDERFUL business and would rent from them anytime- we are a long time customer.

  Vee B from Summerfield, NC recommends this vacation rental

  We have been fortunate enough to enjoy spending time at Walnut Hill as a family for several years- and each year it seems our time just sweetens! The house is lovely, very clean, and comfortable for our extended family of nine. We delight in the early morning backyard deer and groundhog spottings, the easy walk into town to visit the park, library, shops, and eateries, and evenings around the fire. When it comes time to leave Walnut Hill the common refrain is wondering how quickly we can return!

  • Manager Responded on 8/23/2023

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your most recent stay at Walnut Hill Estate. We are so happy that you and your family keep returning to this charming home that overlooks West Jefferson. We look forward to having you stay with us again very soon!

  Laurie M from Raleigh, NC recommends this vacation rental

  this cute beautiful home was a great place to land during our son's wedding weekend. Super convenient location - We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit one night and spent many mornings, drinking coffee on the patio/swing. Location was perfect- Tucked in so close to town- up the winding driveway you hardly knew you were seconds from town -We also enjoyed walking to get coffee... I love the character and comfortable decor. It really felt like a home away from home not a rental home.
  and the flowers on the property were beautiful!

  My family and I had a great time staying at Walnut Hill Estate over Easter in April 2023. We all enjoyed the coffee nook in the mornings and the wonderful views from the property of the mountain across the road. We had plenty of space to spread out and a nice living room and other common spaces to group up for family time too. This is our second time at Walnut Hill Estate and we can't wait to return soon. Thanks!

  The house was perfect for our multi family needs. This home was very clean. It was so roomy and beautifully decorated and we loved all the little details to make it a special stay. We can't not say enough to express our thanks to the wonderful staff in the booking process. We were here due to a family members funeral and they were extremely compassionate with our reservation and easy to communicate with. We even found out that this house used to belong to our Uncles married into family member, so neat! We were able to enjoy the nice firepit as well. I appreciate all the help and info from Jennifer, Missy, and Jeanie. I recommend that even if you don't rent this house to use this company for your rental needs!

  • Manager Responded on 5/4/2022

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay. We are sad that it was for the funeral and hope you can come back for a more joyful occasion.
