About this house rental
Nestled in a quite community, located in the heart of Ashe County, and only 1 mile from the New River, The Forge welcomes you and your family to a fun and exciting adventure!
This home offers 4 spacious sleeping areas including a king bedroom on the main level, two queen rooms upstairs (along with a new sleeper sofa in the loft), and a bunk room downstairs with 2 full bunk beds. The master bedroom has a private bathroom with a walk in shower and his and her sinks. The upstairs bedrooms will share a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The downstairs bunk room also has a full shower/tub combo bathroom. The living room offers a stone gas fireplace, a large TV and vaulted ceilings. The adjacent kitchen and dining area is designed with entertaining in mind. The open layout allows guests to not feel cramped when joining the family chef in preparing a delicious homecooked meal. Plenty of space for everyone!
Outside, let your worries melt away on the beautiful wrap around porch. Watch for the dozens of varieties of native birds or sit in silence listening to the late-night hoots from the owls on summer evenings. Take the family down to the oversized fire pit for a fun night around a fire. A perfect way to wind down from a day exploring nearby towns and local hiking trails!

The host was super welcoming! The house is beautiful, comfortable and in a very nice neighborhood! It is very convenient to restaurants, shopping and Old Barn Winery. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were very roomy. We enjoyed the deer that would come around to the backyard. We would absolutely rent this house again! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved seeing snow!

Upon arrival a few minutes before 4 PM, we were surprised to find the driveway completely covered in thick snow, despite the surrounding roads and other driveways being clear. With both an AWD and a 4x4 vehicle, we still struggled to get traction and ended up sliding down. Our family had to manually shovel and sand the driveway just to attempt access.To make matters worse, when some family tried to enter the cabin at check-in time, the entry code didn’t work. I called the rental office at least 30 times with no response, left a message, and finally got a call back. They reset the code but only offered an apology for the unplowed driveway, placing us on a waitlist for plowing that never happened. We had to clear the driveway ourselves to ensure we could leave safely. Given that our stay was booked weeks in advance, there was no excuse for the property not being prepared. If we weren’t physically able to shovel, we wouldn’t have been able to access the cabin at all.Inside, the space was nice but had a few issues. The upstairs railing was wobbly, and one of the dining chairs kept breaking at the bottom. The bunk beds are better suited for older children, but our kids (ages 11, 9, 8, and 6) were uncomfortable sleeping in basement. They felt too far away from us, as they were beside the garage door while we were on the very top floor. I encourage the owners to add a larger dining table to accommodate all guests. We brought a table and chairs from home to help accommodate us.

The house was amazing and large enough that everyone could be apart but also together if that makes sense. The house was wonderful and the pictures are very accurate. We came to see fall foliage and it did not disappoint
