Beautiful Riverside Getaway

Listed for half of what the final payment was. After all of the made up fees it basically doubled the cost per night. Light bulbs out in dinning room. Someone left dog poop right of front entrance. I don’t like cameras on me when I’m on the deck enjoying myself either. The place is dated.Very close to the road. Not worth the price. Won’t be back. The one positive was nice view of the Watauga river close to Boone and Mast General store.

House was great, location is beautiful and the house is well furnished for everyone’s comfort and has all the kitchen items you need. Owners were quick to respond to questions.

Beautiful home

Everything was great

This is the most beautiful house sitting next to the river multiple decks on the outside one on each master suite with a fireplace open floor plan great stock in the kitchen. Everything‘s always clean. Everything is always on point. You don’t need for anything except to come, bring your clothes and enjoy! Best hostess ever there for any questions which are only one or two, and if you go to relaxation recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful location and perfect for our small dog. Fireplace was warm and we used it every night!

We stayed at this house when we came up to visit my son for ASU’s family weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The house is only about 15 minutes from campus, so it’s quite convenient. The house is large (but cozy), has comfortable furniture, and has the most amazing view/access to the Watauga River. It reminded me of a quaint bed and breakfast. The house was well-labeled to explain things such as how to lock the doors, how to work the heating and cooling, and all light switches are labeled. I thought this was a very helpful touch. All the instructions and descriptions on the listing were accurate. 2 things to be aware of: a few starter items are provided (dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent pods, hand soap in bathrooms), but no bathroom toiletries (shampoo, soap/body wash) are provided. Not a big deal, just something to know when you are packing. The other thing to know is that trash has to be carried out to the can outside that has to be locked up. When we went to throw trash out, the can was completely full, so we had to just bring our trash with us and dispose of it on our own. It was slightly inconvenient but not a huge deal. We really loved our stay at this house and highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful property- most scenic part of river. House is beautiful and immaculate. Had dishes, pans, etc and everything you need for a wonderful stay.

overall we were pleased with t. he facilities and access

house was clean with great view of river and convenient to Boone for forgotten items

Such a great experience for a small family. We have a 5 year old son and having a separate room directly down the hall with his own bathroom was perfect! The view of the river from almost every room in the house was magical. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. I don’t have one bad thing to say about the house only positives!

This is our 3rd time staying at Riverplace and definitely wont be the last! Tamara is an awesome host and Riverplace never disappoints. Thanks so much for another perfect stay!

House was great and had all the amenities you need for a short stay. Location is great- close to downtown Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Hawksnest and Mast General Store. River out back was lovely to watch and even with snow on the ground it was easy to walk down to the edge of it. Communication with host was prompt and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Ski trip

We loved the stay. Very relaxing. We will return for another family trip. The sound of the water was amazing. The only negative was not being able to get the gas fireplace to work. We highly recommend the property regardless.

Home is welcoming and clean. Kids enjoyed the river. Adults enjoyed the fire pit. House is fully stocked with everything you’ll need! Easy communication with owner. We’ll be back!

The property is really lovely. I will bear in mind that we were the first guests the owners had after Hurricane Helene so I am assuming that most of the little things were not noted prior to our arrival due to the break in action and just dealing with the larger issues of storm damage etc. The upstairs/bedroom TVs did not function and the alarm on the door had some setting issues that were a bit annoying, the dishwasher was not unloaded before we got there. But these are minor housekeeping issues that I am certain are normally tended to. Generally, the place is lovely, the views from the very large deck and super comfortable Adirondack styled dining and seating areas were truly beautiful with the River rapids right at our feet. Location was super convenient and overall just a a very pleasant stay. We had tix to the App game and had a day of hiking planned but truly, as enjoyable as both those things were, it was hard to leave that deck and that view for the day after Breakfast! The living area and entertainment space is HUGE for only a two bedroom house. Great value, beautiful home!

The property was a lovely get-a-way by the Watauga River. The driveway was a little tricky, but the rest of the home was perfect. Clean and beautifully decorated. Info on all equipment was easily understood. We hope to stay there again.

Fun time with family

An absolutely perfect location along the Watauga River.

This was our third time back at Riverplace and we will continue to return because it’s the perfect spot for us. Accommodations are ideal for a family looking to enjoy the outdoors in the backyard as well as traveling to neighboring towns. Valle Crucis has so much to offer, but Riverplace is just 15 minutes to Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. Thank you Tamara for being a great host!

Beautiful home, lovely interior, kitchen well equipped. Location on the bank of a river is great, but also right on a busy highway. The road noise was prevalent, but not oppressive. At night, the headlights from passing cars were distracting, especially in one bedroom.

RiverPlace was everything I wanted and more. The location is super convenient, the property is beautiful and cozy, and the process was so easy. I hope I can come back!

Loved looking out over the river. House was clean and efficient Great location

We've stayed here two years and hope to come back next year. Sitting on the deck and listening to the river - doesn't get any better.

When they say on the river, they really meant on the river! It's scenic location is second to none. Your morning coffee routine will never be the same! The house was well stocked with anything you need, but a general store is just a hop skip and a jump down the road for your convenience. There are easy to follow instructions posted throughout the house for locks, remotes, lights, A/C, etc. If you are the adventurous type (not me really) please be careful as the terrain is very slick - it's the mountains people :) IF there is something to critique, the exterior of the home really needs a complete refresh starting with a good powerwashing on the decks. The homeowner was responsive and kind and appreciated feedback. Thank you again for opening your home to us.
