Unbeatable Location
The Ruby Owl sits on a quiet street offering a peaceful, secluded feel, yet it’s only steps from vibrant downtown West Jefferson. The back deck overlooks scenic municipal park facilities, including a playground, sports courts, and the beautifully maintained public cemetery and library.
Walk to:
☆Highly rated restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and shops
☆Local playgrounds and Ashe County Public Library
☆Donut and coffee shops for morning treats
Nearby Adventures:
☆Blue Ridge Parkway (less than 10 miles) for scenic drives and hikes
☆Mount Jefferson State Park: Scenic trails and panoramic views
☆New River: Perfect for canoeing, tubing, and kayaking
☆Perfect for Larger Groups
Traveling with a bigger group? The Ruby Owl is one of two side-by-side 3BR/3BA townhouses under one roof. Book The Garnet Owl alongside Ruby to accommodate up to 14 guests comfortably. While the townhouses share a front deck, separating walls on the interior and back deck help to provide peace, privacy, and comfort. Hosting an even larger group? No problem! We've got you covered. Book the neighboring cabin (also containing 2 townhomes) as well and host up to 27 guests in one convenient location (collectively known as "The Gemstone Owl Retreat")!

☆High-speed Wi-Fi and Smart TVs (stream your favorites; no cable provided)

Summary: We come to the area annually to visit our family and only wish we'd found this spot sooner! Clean, convenient and spacious. We have younger kids and a dog and the park across the street was a great bonus, too. Easy access to all that the area has to offer. Kelly was super responsive and helpful throughout -- we can't wait to come back!
