Amazing views, perfect accommodations

Stayed the weekend for our New River Marathon and this was the perfect stay! We couldn’t get over the Mountain Views and enjoyed the front porch with the swing. Got some great recovery rest outside in the afternoon and had fun exploring downtown Boone. Wished we could have slow mornings on the couch every day!

A weekend home away from home

More than enough space for me and my husband. We came with no more plans than to rest and eat out and that's what we did! We had everything we needed, and it was nice and peaceful. My only complaint is the grass needed mowing BUT it was raining while we were there, so what can you do?

Weekend getaway

Nice & cozy place. We specifically enjoy the wood stove as it was cold & windy. Not secluded as they are neighbors on both sides. Beautiful mountain view up front and a swing to enjoy the view. We would stay there again and maybe hike at the state park nearby.

Wonderful Stay!

The place is honestly bigger than it looks in pictures. Was everything we needed and more. Kitchen has basic necessities as far as cooking wares and utensils go - but we didn’t stay long enough to really utilize anything beyond the coffee pot. Beautiful morning views!

The day we got there, they lost power due to an ice storm. We were not able to stay there, but I was very impressed with the owners being quick to respond and quick to process our refund.

Precisely What We Needed

We were a family visiting our family in the area, this place was convenient to Boone and West Jefferson, clean, and comfortable. The large windows in the living room were a popular place to watch birds in the snow. Cozy, warm, would stay again.

Great Stay

The house was very nice. It was as clean as a whistle. The fireplace insert was great and we kept a fire going most of our stay. My kids were so excited it took an hour and a half to get them to bed our first night. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Cottage

The host was very responsive and accommodating. The home was not as clean as we would have liked as you could tell it hasn't had a good deep clean in a while. When the description says 4WD is recommended in winter, I would say you need it all the time. It had rained quite a bit before and during our stay, and we barely got up the driveway in our van. But, overall it was a good place to stay. Our kids loved it, especially playing chess in the living room.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 and when my husband retires from the Marine Corps in 4 years, we wanted a small piece of heaven in the mountains of North Carolina. We love using it as a vacation home and sharing its cozy charm and peacefulness with visitors.

Why they chose this property

Rich Mountain Cabin was the perfect choice for us because it's less than 20 minutes from the amenities that downtown Boone has to offer-great restaurants, games at Appalachian State, greenway trails, indoor aquatic center, and playgrounds, but it feels worlds away from the quick pace of today's life. Besides the occasional car driving by on the gravel road, the only thing you can hear from the porch is the water flowing in the river down the hill and the birds chirping. We are close to some of our favorite hikes at Moses Cone and along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Elk Knob State Park is 5 minutes up the mountain. We also enjoy fishing and tubing down the New River. The fact that is backs up to Elk Knob Game Land means it will continue to be pristine and quiet.
