Luger Haus Inn - not quite a B&B but a little more than a Vacation Rental!

Luger Haus offers accommodations from single rooms with shared kitchen and living room facilities, a 1-bedroom apartment with full kitchen or a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house for short term rentals. Located directly on the south fork of the New river, enjoy the view from the front porch (rocking chairs and swing), bicycle on Railroad Grade Road, tube, kayak or fish the New River or just relax in the mountains of Todd.
Three bedroom, 2 bath house can be rented as a unit or as separate accomodations within the home. Large master bedroom and bath downstairs with kitchen and living area and 2 bedrooms and shared bath on second floor. Maximum of 9 persons.
'Barn Apartment' is a 1-bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen and living area for a quiet retreat - no phones or TV in this unit so you can enjoy your favorite book in peace and quiet. Maximum 2 adults/2children
Options for rental of all units for a fun family or group getaway are also available.
Railroad Grade Road is a nice, flat bicycling road if you want to bike but do not want to tackle the hills of the High Country.
Downtown Todd is small but offers a historical walking tour, the Todd Mercantile, General Store and Rivergirl Fishing (fishing, kayaking, tubing and bicycle rentals).

Luger Haus is named for our friendly German Sheperd Luger who will greet you with his favorite toys for a play session in the front yard. Children can feed the chickens and collect eggs.
In October, the apple trees are full of fruit for your enjoyment.

We are located 12 miles from Boone and 14 miles from West Jefferson. Golf is available in both towns as is shopping, antiqueing, art galleries, mountain biking and numerous other activities to keep you busy. Grandfather Mountain is also not far and a wonderful place to hike during your stay.

After your days out and about, retreat back to Luger Haus to watch the sunset over the mountains, catch fireflies, watch the deer and just relax and rejuvinate.

Keywords: 6-acre farm, peaceful mountain views, on the South Fork of the New River, biking, fishing, kayaking, located 2 miles from downtown Todd and 8 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway in northwest NC.

                        I enjoyed a very comfortable stay in the "barn apartment" offered by Luger Haus. This is an excellent option for a single/couples. The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. I did not need the to utilize the kitchen this trip but the full kitchen is well equipped, roomy, and could easily cover the needs of someone desiring to prepare their own meals while staying there. I was only there one night and elected to sample local eateries! The owners/hosts are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Luger Haus.

                        Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+.

                        Owner response: Glad you enjoyed your stay and the local eateries! We look forward to you bringing the whole family for a visit to Luger Haus in the future. The weather is now getting warm and kayaking, tubing and biking are keeping visitors to Todd busy.

                        Fun, relaxing time for a couple of nights. Was a hoot watching Luger and LK playing with each other - both are so friendly, just like their owners. Pam and Warren upgraded us from the barn apt to the bottom floor of the house (we actually had the whole house). Very clean and comfortable. We still want to try out the barn apt sometime . . . We own land about a half mile away and have found a place close by to stay when we want an overnight. Will stay again for sure, and heartily recommend to anyone wanting some time in the Todd area.

                        Owner response: Yes, Luger Haus has a new member - a small kitten now know as LK or Luger's Kitty! Luger found him in the woods far from home and adopted him. Todd is a nice, quiet get away area where you can rest and relax but is close to the larger towns of Boone and West Jefferson where you can go shopping or out to eat at the many restaurants. This time of year is great for hot chocolate by the outside fire pit!

                        My son and I have a great time at the Luger Haus Inn. Accommodations are very nice and comfortable. Area is peaceful and quiet and the owners are very nice and helpful. Will definitely go back. My son really liked the dog and the new kitten as well. And the restaurant down the road - highly recommend. Food is very good and price is right.

                        Owner response: Great place for a father/son get away to do a little fishing in the New River and hiking in nearby areas. The fish may not always be biting, but it is still fun for some "outdoor" time.

                        We rented the house & the apartment & loved them both! They were very clean & smelled great! The owners were wonderful & paid atttention to every detail including the "little extras" made us really feel at home. My kids loved playing with Luger & LK. They were so friendly & cute, of course! I hope we can go back in the spring or summer when weather allows some river fun. I would definitely recommend these rentals to everyone!!

                        Owner response: Wonderful way for a large family and 3 generations to get together and travel together. Grandparents can "hide out" peacefully in the barn apartment while younger family members shared the house.

                        Our accomodations in the barn apartment were even better than described. Both weekend stays were very enjoyable. Everything was imacculately clean and comfortable. Pam and Warren are perfect hosts. They are there if you need them, but allow you all the privacy you need. Luger is wonderful and friendly. The area is beautiful and remote, yet still near everything. The neighbors are friendly. If you need overnight accomodations or plan on staying longer, Lugar House is a very good choice. You won't be disappointed. We plan on returning very soon.

                        My husband and I and our three grandchildren ages 6, 9 and 11 spent two nights at the Luger Haus Inn and had a wonderful time! Upon our arrival we were given a warm welcome by Pam, Warren and Luger, their very friendly German Shepard. They made our stay extremely pleasant and looked after our every need. The house is just across a country road from the New River. Each of the two days we were there Warren rounded up appropriately sized tubes for each of us, drove us to a starting point on the river and then met us two hours later down river to take us home. Our grandchildren checked their chicken house for eggs several times a day and we enjoyed scrambled eggs our last morning. We had a bonfire in their fire pit and roasted marshmallows one evening. The house was beautifully stocked with everything we could possible need. We brought groceries and prepared our meals there. By the way, there is a grill for your use as well. We highly recommend a stay at the Luger Haus Inn. The nearby town of Todd is quaint and charming, offering a General Store and RiverGirl Outfitters for all your river activity needs. Boone and West Jefferson are a short drive away.

                        Owner response: Luger has adopted the grandchildren for his own and hopes they come back to play with him soon! Its cooling off a little in after the sun goes down, so the bonfire feels good at night after a day on the river.

He is a sweetheart.Also our hosts were very helpful and so kind. Hopefully we will be able to return sometime in the future. Thank you

                        Our wedding guests had a wonderful stay at the Luger Haus Inn. The location is just perfect; it's scenic and quiet, very easy to find, and within walking/biking distance of all of Todd's amenities and outdoor activities, like the Todd Mercantile & Bakery and Rivergirl Outfitters. The house was clean, quiet, well-appointed, and comfortable, and Pam was a very gracious host. I would recommend this rental to anyone seeking a relaxing vacation in a gorgeous location!

                        Absolutely wonderful place for family to meet and get acquainted. Perfect setting for relaxing and playing. The property and the owners are dog friendly. The house and surrounding property was clean, neat, and well-maintained. It just made you feel comfortable and welcome. As there were some last minute changes in the number of guests....the owners were so helpful and flexible. I would very highly recommend this rental property to anyone interested in staying in the mountains.

                      Year Purchased: 2006

                      About the owner: Warren, Pam and Luger are your hosts at the Luger Haus. We purchased this home in 2006 after finding the NC High Country on a vacation in 2000. We are retired engineers from NASA and now enjoy country living in the mountains during the summers and retreat to Florida in winter. Here in Todd, we have chickens, an herb garden, a blueberry patch, an inherited apple orchard, and plant a vegetable garden each summer. Luger, our German Sheperd, is also our host - he loves children and other dogs, loves to hike and play with his toys, and especially play with visitors - he truly believes that the only reason people come to his house is to play with him!!

                      Why the Owner Chose Todd:
                      We found the 'High Country' in 2001 after traveling the country during a severely hot summer - when we camped in Boone, in August, we had to turn on the heat at night as it was so cool! We decided to retire to this area. After searching for the perfect spot, we found Todd - with easy access to major roads, the towns of Boone and West Jefferson nearby - we fell in love with the peace and quiet of Todd.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      From Luger Haus, you can walk to the end of the driveway and bike on Railroad Grade Road, fish or kayak or tube on the river, or just sit on the front porch with a cup of coffee and watch the river.
