Things To Do
We are so excited to spend the weekend with you! We really recommend that if you have the time come a few days early so you can really enjoy all that the NC Mountains have to offer. West Jefferson is in the Northwestern part of the state bordering Tennessee. The town was established in 1914, and in the early years was served by the Northwestern Railroad. Even though the train stopped operating in 1977 the community has many shops, restaurants, antique stores, and art galleries that truly give you the historic railroad town feel.
Blowing Rock, NC is about 40 minutes from West Jefferson, and is our favorite weekend get away. They have a cute, charming, historic downtown right off of the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. The town has many shopping and restaurant options. Also, Grandfather Mountain is about another 20 minutes from here, and offers excellent hikes with extraordinary views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
