About this property

Our beautifully appointed, spacious home sits just above the banks of the New River, and offers guests a special place to stay to relax and to explore the high country. This is a birder’s paradise, with hiking trails in either direction on the river banks, or for the more adventurous, up to the top of the ridge. Other hiking trails are nearby, as well as tubing or kayaking outfitters to assist you. You can also fish from our private bridge where the trout like to hide, or hire a local guide for fly fishing. During ski season, the slopes at Beech Mountain or Sugar are only 45 minutes away, Appalachian even closer. The historic town of Todd is in your backyard, Boone is only 7 miles away (10 minutes), West Jefferson is 10 miles away (15 mins), and Blowing Rock is 15 Miles (20 minutes). Interesting shopping, including outlet malls, quaint artistic areas and local color, Appalachian State University, are all within a short drive. But you may not want to leave your porch!

Nothing has been spared for your comfortable accommodations. This house has been completely remodeled: new carpet, hardwood floors, all bathrooms, and entire kitchen. On the main entry level there is a spacious living room with stone fireplace and 42” flatscreen TV and DVD player, a dining room seating 6 - 8, and a wonderful kitchen with gas cook top, double ovens, wet bar, and island with seating for two. There is a large gas grill on the main deck, with decks and porches on every level overlooking the river.

Your four bedrooms and four baths are configured as follows: On the main entry level one queen bedroom and sunroom, one full bath with walk-in shower, separate tub, and double sinks—perfect for anyone who does not do stairs. Upstairs there are two large queen bedrooms and two full baths. Downstairs there is a large den with a sleep sofa (very comfortable) and a full bath.

This lower level is where the kids of all ages can hang out. There is a 42” flatscreen TV with DVD, a game table for board games, cards, etc., a computer desk for your lap top or computer. On this level there is also a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave, laundry facilities, and two-car garage.

Mountain Vacation

The house was very nice and very well stocked with everything that was needed. We just wished that there was better access to the river. It was overgrown and no way to enter the river.

Beautiful and Secluded

The cabin was everything we wanted and needed for our small company retreat. It had plenty of indoor and outdoor areas. We loved all the outside seating and listening to the river off the back decks. We also enjoyed the fire pit next to the water. The huge updated kitchen was wonderful and fully stocked with any appliance and utensils you would need. It was so secluded and peaceful...Would definitely recommend this wonderful place!

NIGHTMARE! STAY AWAY!

We booked very early on in the planning of our wedding. We prayed that our dream to say our vows on the New River would be perfect. The daughter of the property owner, Beth C. is NOT kind, is dishonest and rude. The property was dirty upon arrival. Home was not even ready for us at 4pm check in time, 1 hr late. Beth & partner were still cleaning up large wedding floral arrangements from driveway entry posts & all around the property near the barn. Clearly, there was a wedding there the weekend before ours, and this was confirmed as well by D at Jefferson Rent All-who had delivered a dance floor to this exact address the prior weekend. When we arrived, we were angrily told by Beth that we were not allowed to set up our tent even by the river. I guess our wedding was not as important as whomever was married the prior weekend, we felt discriminated against. We even offered to pay her extra to accommodate us, offered to get a one-day umbrella liability policy if that was the issue all of a sudden! Beth told us after this that we COULD set our tent up in the house's courtyard. We went up to the house to see this tiny, unkept garden, we explained that we would make it work in this little spot somehow. Tears...We wanted to marry and not have to tell our few guests that the ceremony would not be at the location that was on our invitations anymore. HOWEVER, 15 mins later, Beth then changes her dishonest mind once again and says that we COULD NOT have ANY event on this property AT ALL because they do not do weddings/events anywhere on the property anymore? No bride should ever have to beg in tears.... No remorse, no help, no empathy. WE HAD TO CHANGE EVERYTHING!! Our venue, cancel the rental of dance floor, chairs, tell all of our out-of-town guests that the venue site had to be changed. We stayed at the house but only to sleep uncomfortably. This house is not a wedding venue of any sort! The wording needs to be removed from the bottom of this VRBO listing. I have pictures of how dirty it was when were finally allowed (1 hour late) to get into the house. Spiders & webs behind beds, creepy, insane # of moths, mold and even moss growing inside the upstairs bedroom door leading out to porch. Stains all over carpets etc. Like a said-STAY AWAY! There's much cleaner, cheaper homes in area. Jetted tub w no motor to run! UNBELIEVABLE! Advertised still on WeddingWire & The Knot site. Plus found this:bethandmolly wedding invite online weekend prior to ours.

App State Graduation

We were looking for a property that we could take both sets of our parents to see our son graduate from App State. This property worked out great!! Very nice well equipped property. The driveway is steep and no cell service, so keep that in mind, but the WiFi worked well and there’s a landline

Beautiful, secluded location close to big cities

Our stay here was very comfortable, and the view and peaceful sound of the river was spectacular! The rooms are spacious and well equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. There are no close grocery stores, but Boone/Blowing Rock is a beautiful 20-30 minute drive. We loved it!

Wonderful visit/fabulous house

We've stayed in several different spots around Boone and Todd while our son has been at App State, but this home is definitely our new favorite! There was space for everyone to spread out in the house and outside. My college kids loved exploring; had a great time with their kayaks; loved the beautiful drive back and forth from Boone; enjoyed watching college football; loved sitting on the porch reading and more! Hands down the most beautiful, roomy, well stocked kitchen of any house anywhere in the United States we've ever stayed. I had a couple of minor questions and they were answered promptly. Just a terrific spot!

Spacious and Spectacular and Scenic River Front Home!

The beautiful fully equipped Kitchen was the Hub for many family gatherings, chats and games! The comfortable LR was a place of evening relaxation and ends rounds of Karaoke and a large coffee table that hosted a puzzles that beckoned passersby to add a piece. The multi decks and bedroom sitting rooms were perfect for soaking in the Little River sunrises, sunsets and and BBQ-ing! We enjoyed the enormous waterfront property, firepit and enough room to set up a volleyball net, play football, fish, store our kayaks and canoes. We will DEFINITELY rent this cabin again!
