Beautiful Riverside Getaway

We are happy to have opened our home back up for your enjoyment and will continue to adjust our policies as needed to assure the best experience for you, our guest. Due to a shortage of employees, from time to time we may need to remove our instant booking option so that we can guarantee availability of cleaning staff between our reservations. Thank you for your patience during the reservation process and for your continued support. We look forward to hosting you.

This beautiful 2BR/3BA home has an open floor plan and full service kitchen which makes it perfect for a couples' getaway or family fun-filled vacation. The large yet cozy great room includes the kitchen, dining area and den with stone fireplace (gas) and plenty of seating. There is a beautiful view of the river out of the large picture windows. The wrap around deck has outdoor seating and overlooks the Watauga River with its out-cropping of rocks and abundant wildlife.
Two master bedroom suites, each with queen beds and their own large private baths, sleep 4 adults comfortably. The living room also has a queen size sleeper couch.

Listed for half of what the final payment was. After all of the made up fees it basically doubled the cost per night. Light bulbs out in dinning room. Someone left dog poop right of front entrance. I don’t like cameras on me when I’m on the deck enjoying myself either. The place is dated.Very close to the road. Not worth the price. Won’t be back. The one positive was nice view of the Watauga river close to Boone and Mast General store.

This is the most beautiful house sitting next to the river multiple decks on the outside one on each master suite with a fireplace open floor plan great stock in the kitchen. Everything‘s always clean. Everything is always on point. You don’t need for anything except to come, bring your clothes and enjoy! Best hostess ever there for any questions which are only one or two, and if you go to relaxation recommend it to anyone.
This is your view from downstairs or from your balcony suite
