Description

Old world craftmanship meets modern vacation luxury in this two-story two-bedroom 2.5 bathroom home on 2.4 acres of natural Appalachian splendor. Nestled above the New River the home offers guests sweeping views of the river and surrounding countryside with a private babbling brook that adds to the relaxing soundscape of this retreat. The home was designed and built by a master craftsman with hand-sanded tongue and groove knotty pine woodwork throughout the house which creates a light and bright lofted modern cabin feel. The warm and inviting home offers plenty of living and entertaining space for everyone, whether gathering with friends and family, or looking for a retreat for some private solitude in the beauty of nature.

 

The open concept top level features hardwood flooring throughout, soaring lofted ceilings, and walls of picture windows which offer panoramic views of the river. Here you will find a large living room with custom woodwork illuminated during the day by streaming sunlight and at night by the warmth of the first of two gas stone fireplaces. Ample comfortable seating for friends and family facilitates easy movement through the open concept space with every spot offering a picturesque vantage point of the views. The custom gourmet kitchen has all the equipment you could need whether preparing a romantic dinner for two or holiday meal for the family, including two ovens, a complete coffee bar and chefs prep ware. The interior dining area offers seating for six – that is, if you don’t choose to eat al fresco at the additional dining table on the deck; both offer amazing views. There is a full wrap-around deck that extends the kitchen, dining, and lounging experience with a 3 foot griddle for those looking to cook breakfast or sear a fresh caught fish from the public fishing hole just 8 minutes away. Morning coffee can be enjoyed on the deck in the Adirondack or rocking chairs enjoying the sunrise and mist that collects in the valley directly above the New River – or you can enjoy an evening beer from one of our many local breweries.

 

Just paces away is the master suite with vaulted ceilings and a king-sized luxury mattress from Helix with optional heated mattress pads for extra wintertime comfort. A large picture window ushers in the sound of the babbling brook below. The master bath features vaulted ceilings with ample closet space, a jetted tub, custom tiled walk-in shower with rain shower head and a double vanity.

 

The ground floor has an additional living room with wet bar, smart television with sound system, and adjacent is the second bedroom with queen sized luxury mattress from Helix. Both rooms have French doors opening out to a two-tiered capacious additional deck offering view of the New River and pastoral countryside complete with a porch swing, 8 person hot tub and gas fire table from which to take in the spectacular views in any season day or night.  The fire table is mainlined to the house's supply tank so you never have to worry about swapping propane tanks!! 

Down the hall is a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. On the same level is an additional capacious lounge and game room where you will find a fireplace, large smart television and custom built bar complete with a wine fridge and all the bar tools and glasses you could want. This room offers an array of games for all ages; the central table also easily converts to a poker table or a bumper pool table simply by removing the top. Fun for the whole family! For those looking for evening media entertainment, the lounge, second living room and master bedroom offer 55” smart televisions and the second bedrooms has a 50” smart television. Music can be played throughout the home with three Bluetooth portable speakers; the sound system in the second living room also easily connects with Bluetooth. 

A comfortable additional pullout Queen sleeper is available in the lower level living room for those groups with 5-6 people. Blackout curtains and an additional mattress pad make this a comfortable place to wake up to walk out through the French doors onto the deck and take in the views.

River View Retreat is pet friendly with a great dog run at the back of the house.  You can let your dogs out to get exercise while you sip your coffee at the coffee bar, or curl back up under the blankets before hitting the nearby hiking trails.  Electric Vehicle EV Charger available for you!

This place was one of my favorite cabins. The hot tub was the cherry on top. Everything was 10/10 and would definitely come again. Overall a great stay and had such a good time here !

Great place to stay. Quiet, good location to access Local Areas like Boon, Blowing Rock or Jefferson. They are not kidding when they say watch the weather and make sure you have 4WD if there is any chance for snow. The Driveway is very steep and challenging in the snow. Place was clean and well equipped. Outside deck area was great as was the temperature and cleanliness of the Hot Tub. Beds were comfortable and water pressure was good. Lots of areas to gather with family or friends. Would recommend.

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon with our four dogs. It was a great place to stay and had a nice fenced in area for the dogs! We had an issue with the hot tub and they were out within an hour to take care of it. Very peaceful and beautiful view. The house is exactly like the pictures.

We had a great weekend at the cabin. It was so quiet & peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch each evening looking out over the river. The location is convenient to everything but feels private and secluded. It was perfect.

Our stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at home. The space was cozy, thoughtfully designed, and immaculately clean—every little detail made us feel pampered. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. One of the highlights was waking up to a breathtaking sunrise from the comfort of the deck—a view so beautiful it made us rethink where we should call home. This place is more than just a getaway; it's an experience we'll cherish. We can't wait to return!

We needed to move our daughter into her new home in Boone as she starts her 2nd year at Appalachian State and bring our dog with us this time - so we looked at rental properties that were close to the school, allowed our Hazel to join us and gave us a bit of a sanctuary. We found it at River View Retreat! This place was beautiful - the views from the deck were breathtaking and the hot tub was just what our sore backs needed after the moving of furniture. This place is definitely off the beaten path - and the STEEP driveway to the house would definitely be intimidating in poor weather (but the owners warn of that!). We are now looking to see if we can go back when we visit our kiddo in the fall - I can only imagine the beauty of fall leaves!

Our family's stay at River View Retreat was perfect in every way! From the stunning views to the thoughtful details, this house has it all! The master bed was very comfy (and I'm picky), the hot tub divine, and the kitchen is stocked with everything a chef needs to cook, bake, and grill! We loved it so much we stayed an extra two nights and ate all but one meal at home. 10/10!

This stay was magical for our Christmas vacation. To start the Airbnb had a Christmas tree in then living room and a loaf of bread as a gift when we checked in. The stay its self was so clean and cozy. The kitchen was perfect and had everything we needed to cook every night or our stay and make holidays meals and bake! The hot tub was so relaxing. When we had gas issues with the outside fire place they sent a tech out of Christmas Eve! The staff was extremely responsive. It was located about 15 mins from down town boone. The driveway was very steep but was fine in a care with all wheel drive. The stay was so nice we didn't mind being rained in for two days! We will be back for sure !

We loved our stay! The kitchen was well equipped, I loved all of the options for brewing coffee & making tea! We ate in every night & the kitchen had everything we needed. Plus the Blackstone was awesome! Our favorite hang out was the game room where we watched football & played poker. There were a lot of games to choose from. The fire pit & hot tub were so relaxing & the view was breathtaking! We even got to see a beautiful sunrise and evening snow flurries! A perfect weekend!!

We (my husband, myself and our pups) just got home from our vacation in the mountains. This place is absolutely stunning and had everything we needed to just relax. We especially loved the fenced in dog run, which is a rare find in a mountain rental! Downtown Boone was within 15 mins drive and had lots of great shopping and food.

Everything was there for a getaway, the house layout was super fun with lots of areas of the house to do things including a game room, outdoor deck with fire pit & hot tub, two living rooms and all the little things were there that we needed. The view was also so peaceful & serene to wake up to and sit outside at night by the fire pit. Would come back here again!

Awesome Amenities. Easy communication registering the rental and Getting all necessary documentation and directions on usage of all the equipment on site. Beautiful and clean place. Great Deck layout/design and from the deck fun cooking out on the black stone , relaxing in the hot tub with the great views, and sitting out on the deck in the mornings with our coffees chatting.

We came to stay at this beautiful house to attend Grand Father Glows event that was on Grand Father Mountain. This house was the perfect location and the outside ambience with the incredible mountain views overlooking the River, is what made us want to stay here. Immediately when we pulled up, it exceeded our expectations. It was peaceful and serene. The inside of the house is so welcoming very nicely decorated. The beds are so comfy and the kitchen has everything and more than you would ever need to cook to your hearts content. We made some nice meals and sat on the top deck. The special thing that happened was we actually had fire flies fly to us and all around the trees on the property. We have been told that they come out end of June to early July. So if you stay there at this time, turn off all lights outside and sit on the deck to see them. They look like twinkling Christmas lights. Well designed deck and dog run to contain dogs. We will stay again very soon! You should too :)

The house was even more beautiful than the photo’s. This was by far the most dog friendly house I have ever stayed & loved all the fencing for them. We had the best stay here. It was very clean and had all the things you would need to cook and even towels for the hot tub. The driveway is very steep- so in the winter 4WD is definitely needed. The neighbor does expect you to be indoors by 10 PM, even if you are quiet outside. Other than that, we had a great stay and would love to return!

Very responsive! The house was beautiful. It had the most appliances and kitchen gadgets I have ever seen in a rental and I really liked that. The hot tub was nice and roomy.

We loved this home. The communication was excellent prior to and during the visit. The views were spectacular and the directions brought us right to the home. Make sure to bring sunglasses if you are to be in the kitchen in the morning hours and it does get a little hot in the upstairs portion.

This house was really nice and had absolutely everything we needed....except coffee! We forgot ours. It has a fully equipped coffee bar, so make sure to bring your coffee and creamer with you. The kitchen was fully stocked with an abundance of cookware, glassware, and dishes. There was a really nice game room with many games for the family to enjoy. The view is beautiful. It was very peaceful here. The master bed was very comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is that you absolutely drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle as recommended in the listing and have tires that can handle icy roads if you are staying in the winter. The driveway is very steep with no guard rails along the edge and it was iced over in the morning due to that extreme weather crossing the country. We would love to return!

This was an amazing stay. It exceeded my expectations and was fully stocked with items and things we were glad to use. And the view was perfect. Just secluded enough to be away from everyone but close enough to enjoy busy boone nc.
