Had dinner here last night (August 11th 2023). It was a really great fine dining experience. White linen and live grand piano.Nice selection of reasonably priced good wines and a limited menu with 4 appetizers, 4 mains and 4 deserts. Dinner has 2 sittings, we were there for the early one. My wife and cousin had the cesar salad, fillet steak and chocolate mousse. I had salmon ceviche, sea bass and bread pudding. All were excellent. My sea bass may have been the best prepared fish I’ve ever eaten.The service was attentive without being overbearing. All in all, a wonderful experience in an old house on the bank of the North Fork of the New River, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It’s well worth a visit. You won’t regret it.

Nice accommodations—comfortable king bed, sitting area, and great shower/restroom. Meals were superb! Loved the location on the New River and convenient to West Jefferson and other attractions.

Fine Dining on the New River – Hidden away is a fine dining restaurant that is worth the visit. Our party of six enjoyed a semi- prix fixe menu: appetizer, main, and dessert. I had roasted red pepper and mozzarella – nice variation on caprese salad. The lamb was excellent, The chocolate tart dessert was just the right size – satisfying without being too rich. Good service.

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at this quaint, very quiet and technological free, history filled esta lishment by the New River. It allowed us to take in each other without distractionThe food was phenomenal and the proprietor was a joy and she was so effervescent and humble at 93 years young. We are grateful for our experience.

Extremely disappointing Sunday dinner experience, strange even. The food was excellent but the ambience was uncomfortable. The musician was sub-par; guests, many elderly and drinking wine or cocktails, seated in a narrow row at the edge of porch with no railing and steep drop-off of 6 six feet or more; hors d'oeuvres were tiny and took about 30 seconds to eat in total (in a single bite) with an hour time frame -- no seconds!; Shirley Temple mocktail was made with no regard to standard recipe; noise level in dining room was insanely loud, so that one had to shout to one's table mate and yet the neighboring tables' conversations were a nuisance (I don't need to hear about a stranger's medical issues from two tables away); no coffee offered with dessert and had to request it!

What a find! We were driving on our way to Grayson Highlands and our previous breakfast place was closed (Shatley Springs). I did a quick “restaurants near me” search and found this place. Apparently you usually need reservations but we lucked out and they had room for us to eat. Breakfast was incredible! Such friendly people, delicious food, reasonable prices, and gorgeous setting!We will be back for sure and next time will make reservations! ?

Attended the Sunday afternoon event (music, supper)…not inexpensive, but a nice overall experience…although they do suggest nice casual attire, if you have the money, your attire makes no difference at all (several of the men who were there wore raggedy shorts and old tee shirts- very disappointing)

Poorly managed. Mediocre in every way.

Rustic but elegant B&B near the heart of the New River in Ashe County.Just enjoyed a five day visit with my mother and sister. The service is excellent, breakfast amazing. The Sunday Afternoon Salons with live music and a three course set menu is a foodies delight. Nice wine selection. I look forward to my next visit.One note for the staff: before guests arrive if a unit has not been occupied recently, take a look around for cobwebs and spiders and take a quick vacuum around the floors with a quick look for dust.

Owned by storied local Gayle, she runs an elegant, but mountain-friendly, establishment for lodging and food. The restaurant is top-notch, with local food, especially the trout, worth the visit and dessert is normally exquisite. I especially love her rhubarb pie, made from rhubarb on her family's farm (when in season). The decor of the rooms is slightly dated, but they're comfortable, and her friendliness and hospitality is unmatched. She manages directly and cares about her property. Sit on the front porch and watch the New River, and the world, go by.

Live music, white linen dining experience and amazing hosts in the restaurant all create an amazing ambiance!! Wonderful venue for a celebration or special night out!! I’m looking forward to returning for their Sunday afternoon lunch and entertainment.
