Retriever Beach - River-frontage with Your Own Private Beach! Fire Pits - Games and More!

Retriever Beach on the New River

• PRIVATE BEACH IN YOUR FRONT YARD!
• Picture an outdoor family haven with huge front porch and fun, flat RIVERFRONT yard
• Two gas fireplaces, Charcoal Grill, GAS FIRE PIT
• Main level master, WiFi, A/C, W/D, SATELLITE TVs
• OUTDOOR SHOWER (you are welcome)
• Mins to West Jefferson & the Blue Ridge Parkway.
• Dog Friendly- see policy below

You'll never want to leave. This home is a true haven, sitting directly on New River frontage, with a great river view from your private front porch. Watch the river flow or take a few steps and hop in! This beautiful home is spacious, accommodating, and fully outfitted with all the comforts of home.

While you enjoy the relaxing view from the deck, you can also keep an eye on the kids running around in the private, flat front yard. The river is shallow and slow-moving – enjoyable for all ages. There's plenty of outdoor furniture for all your friends and family, plus a charcoal grill for easy outdoor dining. Plan a picnic down at the water's edge, or end the day with marshmallows by the fire pit, with a billion stars above.

Once you tear yourself away from the scenery and come inside, you'll find a luxurious, well-appointed home environment, with large seating areas and comfortable furniture. The main level features an open floorplan, with a large living room, fireplace and TV. You'll love the huge modern kitchen with island, stainless appliances and everything you'll need for meals and entertainment. In addition, the main level includes a dining room, sitting room with fireplace, the master suite with its en suite updated bathroom, as well as another full bath, also equipped with a walk-in shower.

Upstairs find three more bedrooms and a full bath with a tub/shower combination. Two of the bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the third bedroom has a fun bunk bed – twin-sized on the upper level and full-sized below. The bunk room also includes full size futon, a TV and a DVD player – a perfect get-away for the kids.

This one has everything you're hoping for in a Blue Ridge vacation home!

Experience The High Country

Retriever Beach places you in a great location to discover all that the High Country has to offer in vacation enjoyment. Bring your fishing pole and good luck, since the New River is in your front yard. If you're looking for more invigorating water adventures, spend the day on a kayak, canoe or inner tube.

Retriever Beach is just a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and West Jefferson. Boone and Blowing Rock are a short, scenic 25 minute drive away. The ski resort at Sugar Mountain is only 40 minutes away. No matter what season it is, there are always a myriad of activities to enjoy, including hiking, horseback riding, volleyball and badminton during the warmer months, or sledding, snowboarding, skating – and of course skiing – all winter long.

The Blue Ridge Parkway offers numerous photo opportunities, hiking and bicycling trails and breathtaking long range vistas at the many scenic overlooks. Here, the journey's just as enjoyable as the destination, as gorgeous scenery awaits you at every turn. You'll understand how our mountains got their name!

In the quaint town of West Jefferson you have restaurants and terrific shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. There's even a movie theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest. Drive a little further to Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State University, or visit our craft breweries.

Or just kick back by the river and feel the stress of the city melt away…

Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.

StayBlueRidge, located in downtown West Jefferson, offers over 80+ quality vacation rentals in West Jefferson, Boone and surrounding areas.

Love it!!
We absolutely loved the house!!! Had everything we needed and space for the kids to run! Our friends rented near by but our house was the house we had Christmas dinner at. Between both family there’s 6 kids and two dogs. They had so much fun skipping rocks in the river. The house was super clean. Every night we had a family of deer come by. If it wasn’t a 13 hour drive from home we would definitely come again.

Amazing stay
We had a wonderful time, the property was amazing and easy to find. Close to down town. The only "problem" I had was working the outdoor gas fire pit and the fireplace inside, but that could have been user error. Even the pup had a great time. Would absolutely stay again and would recommend to anyone.

Could not have asked for a more perfect house. Reviews did not do this place justice. Everything was set up perfectly. We are still talking about this place and our stay. The weather changed and turned cooler creating a wonderful pre fall vacation. You will want for nothing staying here. Thank you for the experience! We will be back.

Perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay with our two Labrador retrievers. There were lots of walking trails around the property. The dogs had plenty of space to run around in the yard, and easy access to the river for swimming…… they would give this vacation high ratings for sure! The area was absolutely beautiful, as well as the home itself. We spent a lot of time on the large deck overlooking the river. There is a gate to keep the dogs on the deck when needed. We really enjoyed our time here!

It was hard to leave after an amazing week at Retriever Beach! The house was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and the perfect size and layout for our group. The private “beach” is the best for sitting with chairs out in the rubber watching the world go by. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Everything I hoped it would be and more!
I've seen other reviews on this property that said the photos are great but the reality is even better...and that's so true! The main living area of the house is so spacious with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy time together or some private time. Our group was 5 adults and 1 child. We were there for 3 nights, the first week of April. The weather was perfect. We even put our feet in the water and my son and grandson fished. My grandson caught the only fish! This was our first getaway in almost 2 years due to the pandemic and it was perfect! You will not regret booking this house. We will definitely be back again.

Wonderful Place and Location
I can see why it was so highly rated. It's in a great location, clean, as well as private. Its the kind of place we could return to again and stay even longer as very comfortable. Nice for larger groups as plenty of room to spread out and the back porch with river view is just wonderful. I highly recommend.

This property is gorgeous! The house was better than expected; it was super clean, plenty of room, but also cozy, and perfect for our family. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely be back. We were glad to arrive before we lost sunlight and the directions were spot on!
