A River Mist Too

This was an exceptionally beautiful location and a lovely house. It was also one of the cleanest vacation rentals I have stayed in. The property is "pet friendly" so we expected there to be a bit of evidence. However it was amazingly free of pet hair and nicely clean throughout. Definitely a repeat rental for us.

This was our first time staying at A River Mist Too, and it was an amazing experience! The house was gorgeous, both inside and out, the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The bathrooms were really spectacular and the beds were amazingly comfortable! Everything was perfect! It was a bit of a drive to get to the grocery store, but we liked the privacy that the house and property offered. The sounds from the river were wonderful. A great time has had by humans and the doggos! Would definitely recommend! ?

Wonderful location and home. Plenty of space and well stocked for an Airbnb rental. Everything was very clean, including the hot tub. The river views and sounds are stunning. Will 100% be returning.

Fabulous stay! Everyone loved A River Mist Too and can’t wait to come back! We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. We actually got snowed in for a couple days which was so fun!

Excellent customer service, gorgeous views, great layout to the home. Can’t wait to return!

- Lauren, Posted: 01/11/2023

Cabin was gorgeous and well represented online. Very communicative throughout entire process and always responded very promptly!

Everyone loved this beautiful house! Layout allowed privacy & plenty of space for our multi-generational group. 3 king en-suites w luxurious blow-your-mind bathrooms. Well-equipped spacious kitchen. Small office off of living room has pull-out full bed that might be comfy for a small kid. Played in the river several days & loved having meals outside & listening to the river from the many decks overlooking it. Weather was perfect! Wow- cool temps in August?! We brought river tubes, walked upriver exploring, past pavilion, then floated slowly down. Several deeper pools to linger in. Saw one snake. Cove Creek store up the road 10 min’s has some basic supplies, firewood, nice people & decent sandwiches. Fire-pit for obligatory s’mores. We appreciate the natural setting & wildflowers by the riverbank, but a quick weed-whacking of grass would have made it a nicer place to sit. We had brought a tarp to set our stuff on for a day of river fun. A couple of the larger pathway stones will wiggle/shift a bit under your feet, so watch your footing when walking down to river. Spent a few hours in Boone, Mast General Store & other shops. The Come Back Shack for burgers never disappoints. Other fam favorites: Local Lion & Stick Boy for baked goods, Proper or Red Onion for a nicer sit-down meal. None of us were ready to leave. What a great house that helped us make fun memories!

From the moment you walk through the front door you are stuck by just how amazing this home is. As you continue out the back door onto the deck and take in the view and sound of the river you know this is someplace very special. After six years of visiting this home it never fails to impress. Thank you

Amazing mountain house on river! My entire family had best time! Will be back for sure!

- Summer, Posted: 04/07/2022

The house is just lovely and the river running through the backyard is calming and nice to just sit by- the sound of the water at night is extra special - noting wrong with this home and we will be back

- Jacqueline, Posted: 02/23/2022

Great place and fun time. Ended up being a blizzard which was great for the kids, but did get stuck a little longer than planned. Will definitely come back again.

- Ken, Posted: 01/18/2022

The house is perfect! We had a great time.

- Ximena, Posted: 01/17/2022

The house was everything you could want in a vacation home; fully stocked, quiet, wonderful views, and extremely cozy! Can’t wait to come back again!

- Kristen, Posted: 11/30/2021

I had high hopes this rental and the house/property was even better than expected.

- Robert, Posted: 11/17/2021

Great time and everything was super clean. The people were so friendly and polite.

- Michael, Posted: 10/30/2021

My family and I really enjoyed our time at the house. The house was well equipped and very clean. The biggest surprise was how well you could hear the water rushing below the house. We opened the back door & windows whenever possible. We will be heading back again soon.

- RJ, Posted: 10/25/2021

Great place to get away and decompress.

- Tim, Posted: 10/04/2021

Our family got together to celebrate my husband's retirement. This home was perfect for the occasion. Some fished, some played pool, some sat by the fireside and enjoyed each other's company. All had fun! We would highly recommend this home to all. It's size and beauty was awesome!

- Debra, Posted: 09/28/2021

Perfect in every way. Clean and comfortable. Our family loved the setting. Beside the river.

- Maryjo, Posted: 03/10/2021

Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice mountain home vacation

- Foster, Posted: 03/03/2021

We rented A River Mist Too for a 3 night work retreat of sorts. As the event organizer I was a little concerned the price was higher than our budget but the recommendation was perfect. While there was no cell service for most of us, there is wifi and honestly it helped us stay focused. This house had everything we needed for cooking, cleaning, it’s superbly organized and laid out. We met full occupancy and yet the lay out of the home didn’t make us feel cramped or on top of each other at all. The sound of the river rushing below fills the house in quiet moments or step out on the immaculate 3 level back deck and hear it loud and clear! The colors are bright and happy and the bathrooms were so fun! Don’t hesitate on this place, it was a stay to remember and one I will recommend also.

- Dolly, Posted: 02/26/2021

Very clean, beautiful setting! The rental company was kind courteous and extremely helpful. Could not have had a better experience. Looking forward to retiring this summer!

- Louis, Posted: 02/23/2021

The house was perfect. Beautiful property that we thoroughly enjoyed.

- Tyler, Posted: 02/23/2021

- Fred, Posted: 02/10/2021

We had the best time on our trip, and a huge reason for that was this amazing place!! It was wonderful. The cabin is beautiful inside and out!! There is so much to see and do all ages will enjoy it. The property had everything you need there, we can't wait to come back!

- Brian, Posted: 02/04/2021

We can’t wait to come back! Home was perfect in every way

- Nicole, Posted: 01/25/2021

A River Mist too exceeded our expectations by millions! The house itself is gorgeous not to mention the view and the gorgeous sound of the river! We had dueling fires, played games and just enjoyed our stay...will definitely be back!

- Keela, Posted: 10/07/2020

My husband and I celebrated our fiftieth anniversary in River Mist Too with our two daughters and their husbands. The home was perfect for three couples with private bedrooms and bathrooms. The setting was peaceful whether sitting near the river or reading a book on the porch or decks. The kitchen was well-equipped and the recreation room kept us entertained on rainy afternoons. We read the information sent to us from the management company and knew that a grocery store wasn't nearby. Accordingly, we were well-supplied with food and didn't need to venture out. The home is tucked away, which allows serenity, but a drive to hiking trails. We were pleasantly surprised that the water level in August was high enough to allow but swimming and fishing. We all had an enjoyable stay.

- Melba, Posted: 08/17/2020

We had a great stay at River Mist Too. The house and kitchen were well appointed, the view of the river was beautiful. We really enjoyed making fires every night and all of the wildlife!

- Shelby, Posted: 07/21/2020

Gorgeous cabin inside and out. Lots of modern amenities. Love the kitchen. Beautiful views from expansive deck and all bedrooms. Living room is comfortable with nice electronics. Nice fire place with gas logs. Garage has game room pool table, table soccer. Includes couch sitting area and TV, mini kitchen and full bath. Great entertainment area for kids. Xbox also. All Bathrooms are so cool. Open showers with over head shower heads and extra hand held spray. Heated floors. Fairly private setting. Easy access to river. We will be back!

- Tracy, Posted: 01/20/2020

A River Mist Too was an absolutely amazing home and they have literally gone above and beyond to make this a home away from home! My family and I cannot express how happy we were with our two week stay. This is not our first time renting with Blue Ridge and they never disappoint. Big thanks to Micki and all the Blue Ridge team as they are always accommodating and helpful! We had some quirky questions and requests and they were responsive, thorough and immediate with replies. Thanks Blue Ridge and to the owners at A River Mist Too.

- John, Posted: 01/14/2020

What an amazing home! We had a fabulous time in this riverside retreat! Hearing the river from the house was so nice. The kitchen was fully stocked with every kitchen gadget and appliance you could possibly need. This would be particularly great for larger groups and family gatherings. Just a great great property!!

- Melissa, Posted: 10/18/2019

A River Mist, Too is a beautiful home and property. We delighted in the sound of the river rushing by and loved our time there. The kitchen was fully equipped and the house spotlessly clean

- Marguerite, Posted: 04/17/2019

River Mist Too is our ‘little slice of heaven’ getaway. This is our third stay, and it is a permanent fixture for future mountain vacations. Not one detail was missed in the amenities of this house. It is immaculate, cozy, and just down right perfect! It makes leaving so difficult! Can’t wait to plan our next trip!

- Nicholah, Posted: 03/13/2019

Hands down AMAZING!! There’s absolutely nothing negative to say about my entire experience. From the spectacular customer service I received when booking to the actual home, I wish I could give 10 stars! Thank you blue ridge for allowing my family and I to enjoy such a marvelous vacation.

First-class cabin. There are simply too many good things to say about it, from the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, TVs, hot tub, game room, location, firepits, etc.. We will definitely be back.

- George, Posted: 11/20/2018

Amazing Service and Amazing Cabin. Unreal experience!

- Kris, Posted: 10/30/2018

Blue ridge mountain rentals was great to deal with. Easy reservation and check in and out. River mist too is a beautiful home in a great location. Great fishing, zip lining, tubing, fire pit (s’mores), pool table, and Xbox. Grand kids had a good time. Would definitely recommend and plan on returning.

- Ruth, Posted: 07/24/2018

This is 5 star!! We love this house, and have made it a permanent vacation spot.

- Mellisa, Posted: 04/03/2018

Family all celebrated recent birthdays in this terrific home. The house was perfect for 3 couples. fire pits, grill, and hot tube were all put to good use! Quiet at night and tranquil during the day, listening to the river pass below us. Would definitely consider A River Mist Too again for a special time with family/friends.

- John, Posted: 03/07/2018

We really enjoyed our stay st River Mist Too. The house is beautiful, nicely decorated, great bathrooms and right on the river. The kitchen is well equipment with very high end cookware. We made big fires in the fire pit and the kids loved the hot tub. I highly recommend this house and we will definitely be staying there again.

- Saara, Posted: 02/21/2018

Our stay at A River Mist Too was absolutely wonderful! I've rented several other cabins in the area that billed themselves as "luxury" but fell short of my expectations. A River Mist Too was exactly as billed; awesome! From the fully equipped and beautiful kitchen, to the decor and heated bathroom floors. The location was peaceful and secluded; We even saw a pair of deer cross the river one evening! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for all of your help in booking this wonderful cabin. You made the process easy and worry free.

- Rene', Posted: 11/13/2017

Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals is by far the best company we've ever booked with. Our recent Labor Day stay at "A River Mist Too" exceeded all our expectations and more! So much space to enjoy.This mountain cabin with the Watauga river running through the back was tastefully decorated inside and out with two fire pits & decks overlooking the river. Every amenity you could imagine was included from the kitchen & bar, dining & living room area, bedrooms & bathrooms, balcony, game room and outside Jacuzzi was included. We instantly fell in love soon as we stepped through the front door and didn't want to leave! Our family is definitely looking forward to coming back again next year!! Brenda Calhoun

- Brenda, Posted: 09/19/2017

What an extraordinary and beautiful way to celebrate the wonderful men/husbands/fathers in our lives! This house is over the top gorgeous- and the view amazing! Sitting every morning listening to the world wake up as the sounds of the river rush by us...it feels like a holy place- God's Country! It's closer to heaven at A River Mist Too! Perfect weather almost every day until night falls and we watch the fireflies light up the night. We have had an amazing week filled with laughter, love, joy, and sweet memories. Thank you for sharing your river house with us! Bless you!

- Richard, Posted: 06/26/2017

This place is Amazing!!! The view of the River, the hot tub, the fully stocked kitchen, the detached garage (game room) that our children enjoyed playing in, everything was more than we expected. We really enjoyed a nice relaxing vacation in this lovely home. We hope to come back one day.

- Kenneth, Posted: 05/06/2017

A River Mist Too~ a perfect vacation in a perfect home. Upon entering the driveway and seeing A River Mist Too it took my breath away. It sat slightly down a small hill and the snow that covered the grounds seemed to bring the home to life. It was beautiful. The deck in the front with the rockers just seemed to call out to us and we couldn't wait to get inside and begin our annual family vacation. Upon entering the home, all I could say was wow. Looking around at the interior, the art décor, kitchen and living room I could tell that the owners spared no expense and I could feel the love that went into picking out every little thing for A River Mist Too. The Master Bedroom and bath were more than I could have imagined. Beautiful, a must see in person because pictures do not do these bedrooms/bathrooms justice. The kitchen was stocked with any and everything you could imagine. For once I didn't have to wonder how I would be able to cook everything and get it to the table at the same time. With 6 burners, 2 ovens and a microwave, cooking for 8 was a snap. The appliances were top notch and we loved the fridge with WeatherBug. We had updated weather reports at the touch of a button. Very cool. The detached game room was used a lot. The men and boys absolutely loved it. They would have stayed in there forever if it was up to them. Between the pool table and foosball table I'm pretty sure they became pros by the time we left. Again, the game room was decorated with great thought. Loved the table and chairs that were made for the pool sticks. Great addition. I have to mention the view in the rear of the house. It really is magnificent. The Watauga river that flows just outside can be heard from virtually everywhere outside of the home. It's beauty is nothing short of calming. We sat there what seemed like forever just watching and listening to the flow of the river. The men did a little fishing and we were surprised that they caught some trout as they had never fished that kind of water before.(Being from Florida most of our fishing is in the ocean.)We cooked the trout over an open flame from the wonderful fire pit. It was the best tasting fish! One can't get a better or fresher fish than that which was caught, cooked and eaten within an hour time frame. Speaking of the fire pit, it was used every single night there. With ample supply of firewood provided by the owners, it made very cold nights feel warm and cozy as we all sat around the fire pit, laughing, talking, making smores, roasting marshmallows and having a few drinks. What a wonderful way to re-connect with family since the real world seems to move so fast and we all go our separate ways with work, school and social events. I would highly recommend The River Mist Too for a perfect getaway. It exceeded all my expectations and as much as we hated to leave, we all had comfort in knowing we had found that one vacation home that we had been looking for over the years to come back to again and again. Thank you Blue Ridge Rentals for being so kind, considerate and accommodating and thank you to the owners of A River Mist Too for allowing others to enjoy your beautiful home.

I am so thrilled we found this home and rented it for the week. My sister rented a A River Mist and we were in a River Mist Too with our grown children and grandkids. This home is beyond spectacular. The owners of this home missed no details in planning and building this amazing house. The bedrooms and bathrooms are amazing. The kitchen is a cooks dream. They missed nothing. This review would be pages long if I tried to cover everything. I am a Realtor and we have traveled to many places. I have seen a lot of houses, but this home is a stand out among them all. We will definitely be back. Next year we want to stay for two weeks. One week was just not enough. Thank you for allowing other people to rent your home and enjoy your dream.

- Iris, Posted: 08/13/2016

House was unbelievable! We have rented many houses over the years throughout the US, Canada, and Central America, and this was by far the best. Did not want to leave!! Thank you!
