"French Country Barn Loft" Luxurious Couple's Escape on the New River

Escape to the North Carolina High Country for an unprecedented getaway on the historic New River. The New River Escape Barn Lofts (2) feature beautiful views of the New River’s South Fork from a self-catering, open concept suite on the top of an 1880s refurbished dairy barn. Tucked away between Todd and Fleetwood, this relaxing location allows paddlers, tubers and fishermen direct entrance to the New River, cyclist and runners access to Railroad Grade Road and hikers entry to the woods behind 'The Escape.' Book lovers and loungers will find serene grounds full of relaxing spots that make one feel worlds away from the stresses of everyday life. At The New River Escape, we aim to offer our guests a unique haven of relaxation and tranquility on the historic and wild New River. There are wonderful opportunities in all seasons from river activities to beautiful Fall leaves viewing to nearby Christmas tree cutting. Within 20 minutes of the barn are great restaurants, breweries, golf courses, hiking and access to all App State has to offer. Ski resorts as close as 35 minutes.

Self-catering "French Country" loft provides all the amenities you need including a full kitchen, full bath, 2-person jacuzzi tub, WiFi and beautiful High Country views. The suite had a heating and cooling system and a gas log stove waiting for you on cool nights. We also provide you with scrumptious linens and a plush robe for lounging after a delightful soak. If you can not find what you need in your loft, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

About the host

Hosted by AJ Best

Host profile image
The New River Escape grew from a dream to live on a river and own a guest house. In August 2017, the dream came true on the historic and wild South Fork of the New River. We are excited to share our dream with you, your family and friends. Come make memories and enjoy the "Coolest Corner of North Carolina."

Why they chose this property

The river, gazebo and old farm house we live in captured our hearts, brought us back to our childhoods and screamed "I am yours! Please buy me!" we did and we couldn't be more thrilled with our choice.

What makes this property unique

We love meeting new people and learning about their adventures. Whether relaxing on the gazebo, sitting by the river or chilling out around a bonfire, we look forward to sharing stories and fun times in this beautiful corner of the world. The New River Escape makes you slow down, relax and come back to the peacefulness of nature.
