  We have relatives that line in Jefferson Landing, but wanted our own spot to relax and unwind when not at their house. This was perfect. We have a small family(3 + dog), so this cabin was ideal. We could have invited 4 others and their would have been room. Cozy cabin that has been updated, but still retains an aesthetic from many years ago. Well equipped kitchen was big enough for us, but we eat out a lot. Single couch in the "living room", but space dictates that you couldn't have more. Full size, shared bathroom and then small bathroom(stand up shower) connected to master. Good Wifi, updated TVs, coffee maker that supports basket or pod style. Yard well maintained with a running creek out back. With the windows open, it will put you right to sleep.

  Over all it is a nice place to stay we were there for 15 days, has a little old with a little new flair. Like many places to stay in the area it has what you need could use some better cooking utensils we had to pick-up a few things to make it work for us.
  The small creek that ran along the backside of the property was nice to seat next too and listen to the water run by and see all the life that live there.
  Parking for more than one vehicle could be a challenge, has just one long driveway. We made it work.
  Has a nice firepit across the creek we were able to have some nice family time around the fire telling tall tales and making s’mores each night.
  

  • Manager Responded on 8/14/2024

    Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay at Mountain Jewel. We will check on the cooking utensils. The driveway is a long half-moon drive. You can go up the road a little way to turn around. We are so happy you enjoyed the creek and the fire pit. We do hope you will stay with us again soon.

  Well remodel for an older farm house. Good sleeping arrangements. Very nice Kitchen but needs an ice maker in refrigerator & replacement water filter was lit. needs towel bars in baths and hook for hand towel was very loose in one. Enjoyed visiting the churches of the frescos and the Asche Cheese Factory & store. Gathering was at the old Methodist church camp on the river.

    Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay at Mountain Jewel. We do wish you had contacted us during your stay regarding the water filter. We would have been happy to have had it replaced. We do hope you will stay with us again.

  House was great. Clean, neat, needs a recliner or 2. Didn't like the way the steps to the 2nd floor bedroom came into my room but all was well. Coffee Keurig was a challenge but it was all good. Family was a pain in the butt big time. Was so glad to leave them

  We enjoyed our stay at Mountain Jewel; however, the description of the property should disclose that much of the home includes some close to original structures as to not take visitors off guard. Slanting floors were a surprise, although we got used to the charm of them. Cutlery was minimal and kitchen could use a better variety of pots and pans. Window treatments need to provide more privacy. No coffee table...Overall, we had a wonderful time, as we always do in Jefferson/West Jefferson, just some suggestions for future tenants.

  • Manager Responded on 12/28/2023

    Thank you for leaving a review of Mountain Jewel. This is a renovated farmhouse that does have some of the original floors and they due to slant. We do hope you stay with us again soon.

  LISA H from bel air, MD recommends this vacation rental

  Worked great for our family. Property was very clean, linens were in excellent condition. Kitchen was stocked with what we required. We were in town for a family reunion that was being held at Jefferson Landing and this location was ideal. Getting to the upstairs was awkward as you have to go thru a bedroom.
  Only issue was the A/C went up the 2nd day and never came back on. The property mgr was helpful with trying to resolve, but we were unable to be there when the repair person might have been able to come so we persevered without.

  • Manager Responded on 7/19/2023

    thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay at Mountain Jewel. The AC issue has been fixed; we do wish it could have been addressed during your stay. The home is a remodeled farmhouse that had an addition added on to during its history. The only access to the upstairs twin bedroom is through one of the bedrooms. This home is in a great location just across the road and a short drive from Jefferson Landing. We do hope you stay with us again.

  Great location and convenient to town and other activities. Nice, clean and beautiful property. We would suggest the addition of a back deck so you could enjoy the yard and stream. Rain had kept the yard from mowing, but we thought that would be nice.

  • Manager Responded on 6/27/2022

    We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Jewel. The owner is working to make upgrades and a deck may be in the plans. We look forward to having you stay with us again.

  Ryan B from Cedar Springs, MI recommends this vacation rental

  We were blessed with 70 degree days and no rain for our entire 3 day stay. That was unexpected. We had a great time and the farmhouse accommodated the 6 of us just fine. Mind you we have 4 boys, 3 of which are 6'2" and above. The sleeping situation worked out perfect. The House was delightful, and it served its purpose of providing a place to come back to after exploring the trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The property was clean and well maintained. The only issue we had was that there were not many restaurants available during our stay. Boone is 40 min away but they have a mask mandate which we didn't want to deal with. We cooked our meals at the house and got to know the people at the Food Lion pretty well. Southern hospitality is a real thing. I would recommend this property for sure.
