Lazy Days on the New River | Waterfront Cabin | Close to Downtown

Lazy Days on the New River is a log cabin that gives you exactly that—waterfront relaxation. With a fire pit right by the riverbank and a roomy deck with rocking chairs, you can lounge under the sun and take in the sights of wildlife coming to water (and paddlers floating by). Best of all, you're just 20 minutes from both downtown West Jefferson and Boone.

Local Surroundings:
- Located in the community of Todd, Lazy Days is right across the river from the scenic Railroad Grade Road, a popular bike route for tourists and locals alike. Bring your bikes and pedal along the water. If you take a 25-minute bike ride up the road, you'll reach Todd Mercantile, a rural grocer and bakery. Stop by and grab a sweet treat and refreshments before heading back.
- Todd is positioned halfway between the towns of West Jefferson and Boone, and only 10 minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway access points. West Jefferson's Mountain Aire Golf Club is just a 15-minute drive away, so you can tee up before heading into downtown WJ to chow down. While in town, make sure to check out the many antique shops, art galleries, and boutiques. Visit the famous Ashe Co. Cheese Factory, where you can sample cheeses and watch how they make them.
- Boone is just over 20 minutes away, making it the perfect day trip for sightseeing and shopping. Home to Appalachian State University, you can even travel to Boone to catch an App State football game during the fall. Boone only becomes more fun in the winter, when you can take a trip to Appalachian Ski Mountain for a day of skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and ice skating.

Important Notes:
- Pet Policy: Our apologies, but this rental does not allow dogs. Luckily, we have plenty of pet-friendly properties to choose from instead.
- Access: A paved driveway can fit two cars comfortably. Roads in this area can get icy, so we recommend 4WD or AWD when visiting in the winter.
