Riverfront Cabin: Slap af og forny ved The New River

Our family has deep roots in Todd, North Carolina. Our grandparents and father were born and raised nearby, and this property has been part of our family story for generations. After retiring, our dad fulfilled a dream by building this cabin on land connected to our family, our faith, and the New River community.

After our dad passed away and our mom later needed assisted-living care, we began sharing the cabin with guests through VRBO. Rental income helps support her care, but it also allows us to preserve a place that means a great deal to our family.

We enjoy hosting because this cabin has always been more than a rental to us. It is a place to rest, renew, reconnect with family, and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. Many of our guests have returned over the years, and we are grateful to share this special place with people who love it as much as we do.

We hope guests feel welcome, comfortable, and refreshed during their stay.

Todd is a special High Country community with a rare combination of natural beauty, family history, and small-town character. The New River, mountain views, quiet roads, and friendly local feel make it an ideal place to slow down and enjoy time together.

Our family connection to this area goes back generations. Our grandparents and dad were born nearby, and the church grounds were once located on this property. After the church moved, our grandparents purchased the land, and our dad later built the cabin here after he retired.

We love that guests can enjoy the peaceful riverfront setting while still being close to Boone, West Jefferson, outdoor outfitters, local shops, hiking, tubing, kayaking, fishing, biking, scenic drives, and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This cabin stands out because it combines direct New River access with a real family story. Guests can sit on the large front deck and look out over the river, walk down to the water from the property, enjoy a spacious cabin layout with three queen bedrooms plus a kid-friendly loft trundle, gather around the gas fireplace, cook in the full kitchen, grill on the back deck, relax by the wood-burning fire pit, and use the cabin as a base for tubing, kayaking, fly fishing, biking, hiking, and exploring the High Country.

The property is comfortable, practical, and personal. It sleeps up to 8 guests, with the best fit being 6 adults plus 2 children. It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, YouTube TV, a washer/dryer, 2.5 bathrooms, a main-level primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, two upstairs queen bedrooms with a shared full bathroom, parking for approximately three vehicles, and enough room for families or small groups to spread out.

Most of all, this is not a generic rental. It is a family cabin with history, purpose, repeat guests, and a peaceful riverfront setting where guests can rest, reconnect, and enjoy God’s blessings.
