When you relax in your rocking chair on the deck of Riverbend Chalet, you'll feel like you're at the top of the world. From here you can see for miles and miles, above the treetops, to the mountain peaks beyond. Jaw-dropping in all seasons!
Riverbend Chalet also gives you the convenience of an awesome location in Fleetwood Falls – a lovely neighborhood with terrific amenities. This private community has its own lake, waterfall and New River access! The lake is a true bonus for vacationers, offering catch-and-release fishing, a walking trail, a picturesque lakeside gazebo with picnic tables, and a grilling station. Don't miss a nature hike through the wooded ravine to the falls.
The community's common area at the edge of the New River gives you easy access to fishing, swimming, tubing, kayaking and canoeing – for days of fun and adventure. Nearby river outfitters are ready to hook you up with any equipment or instruction you need.
Riverbend Chalet is the place to soak in the natural beauty of the High Country, with its fantastic views and natural setting. A picnic table nestled into the woods among the flowering mountain laurels is the perfect spot for cookouts, and there's a charcoal grill right off the kitchen for your convenience.
The home's interior maintains the close-to-nature ambiance, with wide windows for enjoying the majestic views. Close out the evening with a hot beverage as you cuddle inside, soothed by the warm crackle and glow of the cozy stone fireplace. The open floorplan is designed for socializing with friends and family members. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped for meals at home.
On the main level you'll find a bedroom with a queen bed and full bath. Upstairs is another queen bedroom, as well as a loft with two twins.
Explore The High Country
Riverbend Chalet has easy access to the towns, venues and activities that brought you to the mountains. The home is located halfway between West Jefferson and Boone, and only 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge parkway. In the quaint town of West Jefferson you'll find restaurants and a wonderful array of shopping, including antique stores and art galleries. You can watch cheese being made at the Ashe County Cheese Factory, stroll the charming main street, or even grab a movie at the inexpensive theater. This is small-town Americana at its finest.
Save a day for exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in America. Take advantage of the awe-inspiring photo opps and hiking trails. In this special part of the world, the wonder of Mother Nature presents itself at every turn. From the Parkway you can easily access Boone or Blowing Rock, for an even wider assortment of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Tour the campus of Appalachian State, or visit our craft breweries.
For the bicycle enthusiast in the family, Riverbend Chalet is only 2 minutes from the scenic Railroad Grade Road – a popular bike route that meanders along the river from Fleetwood to Todd, known for its old-time charm, with bluegrass entertainment and arts and crafts festivals throughout the season.
If you're visiting in the summer, enjoy endless activities. If you're craving a snowy mountain winter enjoy sledding, snowboarding, skating – and don't forget skiing – all winter long too.
Numerous steps up to Chalet from Parking areas.
Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Excellent stay on top of the mountain with a beautiful view from the deck for miles and miles. This is a great spot if you want to be alone. It is important that you realize this house is on top of a mountain. It is NOT suited for someone in a wheelchair. The walk from the parking spot to the house is up a severe incline. If you want to go for a walk on the road, it is a very steep road. This is great if you want to be isolated and everyone in your party is fit enough to climb stairs. We stayed in the summer, so no ice or snow. I imagine in the winter it can be tricky navigating ice. I would not drive up to the house on that road without a 4x4 vehicle (in winter). The house is very nice and well taken care of. Two bedrooms have AC, but the house does NOT have AC. So, be aware if it is summer, you have fans in the living spaces, but only AC in two bedrooms. It was a very relaxing stay for us in May 2025. Things that could be improved: add ESPN to the house cable package, put screen doors on the two sliding doors to help with air-flow and keep out bugs, fix the propane set-up, the hose (to the bottle) is too short and can become kinked, add yellow bulbs on the outside fixtures (to minimize the attraction of bugs), the stand up lamp near the fireplace needs a plastic lamp switch (it was missing for us). Thank you for the nice stay. We loved the house and the view.

Clean, pleasant stay at this charming home. There wasn’t anything we needed. Other than the narrow roads in the community, it was perfect.

Great location, enjoyed the views, house was clean, beds were comfortable, it would be nice to have firewood furnished and to have local tv channels. The parking was perfect for one car at the end of the gravel walking path to the stairs. Thank you so much, enjoyed our stay.
