Off the lower level is a covered courtyard with rocking chairs and a hot tub which faces the river below. The main level has a large open-air deck on the side of the house, with Adirondack-style chairs, a large outdoor dining table, and a gas grill. The front of the main level has a covered porch with comfortable outdoor furniture looking out at the river and the mountains on the other side.
A downhill walk from the cabin leads to a large, flat, grassy opening big enough for all kinds of fun outdoor activities! There is a fire pit and hundreds of feet of river frontage parallel to the property, all private and yours to enjoy! Above the cabin are more wooded acres with unmarked trails to explore. The property offers wooded and clear land for hikers to enjoy, as well as plenty of river frontage!

This was a great place and perfect for the 8 of us! Kids had plenty to do and the dinning fit all of us. Beautiful property.
Nice house. Comfortable accommodations. Happy that it was pet friendly.
We enjoyed staying at this property. Close (walking distance) to river for fishing. This property was also close to Boone. Many options for activities to meet everyone's needs. I would recommend this property for a fun stay.
Overall the stay was great! We were a little disappointed that the walk to the water and fire pit was so long and big terrain to get to. Also, not as remote as we had thought. The pool table was hit with my family.
Our trip was a short spontaneous trip and it was excellent! The cabin was in an excellent location and the owner’s provided games that came in handy. We enjoyed walking around on the mountain and down to the river. It was in perfect location to go to Boone or Blowing Rock. I just can’t explain how much we all enjoyed this get away and the cabin with its location and amenities were largely responsible! Can’t wait to plan a return trip!
Great cabin in the mountains. Perfect for what we were looking for. The kids loved the arcade and pool table. We used the hot tub only once because it wasn't the cleanest. We enjoyed the fire pit down by the river. Would go back again!
Our family/friends had a great time here. Cabin is very private and cozy
The house is great with plenty of room for everyone., we are a family of 9. We even used the downstairs hallway for additional sleeping. The kitchen is large with plenty of cabinets for storage. Bathrooms are roomy and one on each floor. The pool table was a big hit and kept the kids entertained. Our family loved the river location and spent lots of time there. It is a hike down with 2 switchbacks and muddy in some spots. Bring pool tubes for a great river experience. The rope swing up the hill was fun. We even had a deer and chipmunk visit us at the house. The location is quite close to Boone and yet we felt remote. However: the gravel driveway is quite steep and you must start out “flooring the accelerator”. We got stuck the first time up and had to unload our bikes to make it up. 4 wheel drive would be needed in the winter. We arrived 30 minutes after check in and the cleaning staff was just finishing up. They said that they were called late to clean. There was dog hair everywhere and dog food scattered throughout the main floor. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. We had to take towels out of the dryer. We had towels for 4 and no extra sheets for the pull out sofa beds. This was frustrating because they had asked ages of each person who would be there. We couldn’t call the management company because the internet service was poor and we had 4 wrong passwords written in many locations. We finally were able to use a land like to get in touch with them. Late that evening they did bring the linens and check out the leak under the sink. We were given another password for the internet and this worked but access continued to go off and on. We had some in our party who needed to work from the house and this was most difficult due to the continued break in the internet. There was a septic tank odor coming from under the sink and other areas of the house at times. Front door knob was broken. And our security access code was wrong. We had to leave a door unlocked until we could call the management company on the road for a correct code. All of this was disappointing, frustrating, and took up time. We feel that the management company should do a better job of maintenance between renters. However, it did not stop us from having a great time. We would even consider a return trip. I would recommend the house for vacations and hopefully management company addresses the issues.
Great Place to relax and get away from everything.
House had great layout, was very clean and overall had what we needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen has the bare basics and could use more of what it had and some additional items to make it better. The location was ok but the river is down a steep hill so to access it you must walk down a long path that zig zags back and forth to even make it walkable as straight down would be to steep to walk. The view of the river from the house is limited. If you chose this house be sure to bring toliet paper, paper towels and dishwasher soap as you will not be given enough for your stay.
