About this property

Rivers Edge Lodge - Luxury Mountain Home Located Directly on Pristine River

Rivers Edge Lodge is a luxurious and meticulously crafted mountain style home completed in 2010 and has direct frontage on the pristine Watauga River. This beautiful mountain retreat is located in the exclusive 350 acre gated community of Twin Rivers and is centrally located to all that the High Country has to offer. If your idea of paradise is relaxing beside a tranquil river and unwinding to the calming and restorative sights and sounds of nature, welcome to Rivers Edge Lodge.

Unwind inside this impressive and well appointed home, offering 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths and sleeping accommodations for 9. Outside the home, activities abound. Take a bike ride or hike through the community’s miles of managed trails along the Watauga and Boone Fork Rivers that connect to the Julian Price Park trail system or visit the many attractions in Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock only minutes away from the home.


Entering the home you will appreciate the elegant and rustic quality with hickory floors, vaulted beamed ceilings, hand crafted wooden trim, 10’ ceilings throughout the main floor and featuring a grand wood burning stone fireplace. The remarkable view of the river is apparent directly ahead. The gourmet in your family will enjoy the kitchen, well equipped with granite counters, island with gas stove and stainless steel appliances. Also on this floor is the beautiful dining room which will seat 6-8.

The master bedroom is an en suite and furnished with a king bed, large screen HDTV and an amazing view of the river. Imagine yourself waking in the morning to the sound of the river and that view! Two other well furnished bedrooms are also located on the first floor and both contain very comfortable memory foam mattresses on Queen beds and large screen HDTV’s. The children will enjoy their own upstairs retreat, furnished with a full bath, full/twin bunk beds, large screen HDTV and an extensive collection of DVDs to keep them entertained. There is also a large laundry room with washer and dryer directly off of the main living area and 2 car garage, where you can kick off your flip flops, river shoes or snow boots. Consider River’s Edge, your “home away from home”, but stay connected with the available high speed wireless internet service.

At the end of your day, take a break by the river at the fire pit and roast marshmallows or relax in the 6 person hot tub positioned right outside the back door with a fantastic view of the river. Or just sit and relax on the large, fully furnished back deck while the cook grills on the outdoor grill.

We felt like we were home from the minute we walked in the door.We spent hrs every day on the back porch enjoying the cool weather after coming from the excessive heat in Florida.We even had a doe and her 2 fawns visit almost every day and listening to the sound of the river flowing over large stones was so peaceful and relaxing.The host (and home owner) Chris could not have been more kind and addressed any questions we had quickly and thoughtfully.The beds were super comfy and and the master bathroom was huge.We loved that it was a guard gated community also

We stayed at this property with our children and elderly parents. We all slept comfortably, there were great games (board games, ping pong, ect), to entertain everybody. The view from the backyard overlooking the river was peaceful and beautiful. The house was excellently cleaned and we had no issues whatsoever. Would definitely recommend!

The house and property are beautiful and well appointed. The creek behind the house makes relaxing on the deck so enjoyable. There is a nice fire pit near the creek as well and you really experience nature sitting around it in the evening. The location was convenient to many restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend this property.

This was our fourth stay at Rivers Edge Lodge, and it continues to exceed our expectations each time. Of the 10 homes we have rented in the area, this property is by far the most beautiful. The location is ideal, the layout is thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor firepit and grill make it perfect for relaxing evenings. We look forward to returning again—highly recommended.

Beautiful home. The finishes are much more stunning than pictures show. Feels sturdy and custom. Thank you for sharing - we were two families with 5 kids, and everyone loved it. The brook added a peaceful element.Our cell phone service wasn't great out there, so I'd recommend to read all of the instructions and make sure you know gate and code for keys before getting there - we messed up with that one!
