About West Jefferson’s arts.

Sweetwater has one opening in June, and then booked all the way through the end of September. If you'd like to book June 15 and 16, call Stay Blue Ridge at 877-601-5020! And October's weekends are gone, so if you want some time in the fall, book now! If you've stayed with us before, let them know, whether you booked through Airbnb or Stay Blue Ridge, as there are discounts they offer!

One of our local treasures. More art downstairs and check out their sister church, St Mary’s near the Ingles.

Who knew world-famous paintings were hiding in the Foothills?

Lots of deer wander through our neighborhood. Sometimes groups of 8 or 9. But most of the time in 2020 a mama and her baby, born later than normal, came to our house for almost daily feedings. On this recent visit, she came with a friend and her much older baby. The one looking at me? That's "Mama" as we call the one who visits most often. She waits patiently at the top of the driveway for us to notice her. Sometimes she stands outside my office window until I see her.

Happy New Year - it's a rainy start to the year, but for your pleasure some bird tracks we photographed in a recent dusting.

“Michelle and Jack thought of everything! Sweetwater was the perfect stop for our family of four. We loved walking to the river, watching birds and deer, and winding down by the fire pit at night. We would love to come back when it's warmer and enjoy the outdoor dining space. Being able to bring our dogs and feeling like they were just as welcome as we were was icing on the cake. This place was absolutely perfect for us, furry guests included.” Made my day to get this feedback from the young family who left this morning.

Just had to share this, as a book lover. I'm sure some of you who are our guests (or hope to be in the future) love to read, too. In case you are, when you visit, check out the library I've started (take one, or leave one, etc.) in the blue cabinet in the living room.

And there's no reason to!

We agree, how about you?

And there's no reason to!

Clearly the most creative scarecrow in West Jefferson - at Florence Thomas Art School.

Kees among the Parkway yesterday including the Brinegar homestead at Doughyin Park. Get away from the leaf seekers along the southern ends of the Parkway and come to the uncrowded stretch in Ashe County!
