Riverside - Cottage in Valle Crucis with river front views and Hot Tub!

FAMILY FAVORITE - this like-new riverfront cottage in Valle Crucis with large, flat yard, hot tub, central AC, firepit, gas fireplace, horseshoes, fenced area for your dog and more. This two bedroom, two bath sleeps up to six with two queen pillow tops plus a queen sleeper.This home has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon TV and other online service for additional programming.

Riverside Cabin enjoys an absolutely idyllic setting; 135ft of river frontage on the rippling Watauga River; a spectacular view to the South that has cow pastures (with cows!) and a dramatic mountain backdrop; to the North the river continues on its slow and lazy route paralleling the state-maintained gravel road on through active old farms and historical buildings. A perfect spot to take a peaceful morning walk/jog/bike.

***All linens and towels included in home***

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Main level: Master with queen and full bathroom, Second bedroom with queen, second full bath, queen sleeper in livingroom

Riverside Cabin boasts 1.5 acres of flat and lush lawn so children can play to their hearts' content, even play horse shoes, while you can either try your hand at fly-fishing or just laze away the afternoon in our hammock set right by the river's side! At night a cozy fire-pit with surrounding rustic chairs gives you a perfect end to a day in the mountains.

Inside, Riverside Cabin has two good sized bedrooms, one with a bathroom en-suite and also provides for two more with a sleeper-sofa. The kitchen is well stocked and features a breakfast bar with two high stools. There is an attractive rustic dining-table and chairs and in the living room area, a very comfortable ambiance is helped by the wood floors, tongue and groove cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace and attractive 'mountainy' furniture. With two skylights and windows on all three sides, it feels wonderfully light and cheerful - a great place to relax. You have access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon TV and other online service for additional programming. Our back deck commands a view of the river and surroundings, with outside dining furniture, easy chairs and features a gigantic hot-tub. 'Below decks' there is an ample fenced in dog lot + and in the breezeway beneath the home.

Riverside Cabin is only about three miles from the Mast General Store in historic Valle Crucis, in the Northwestern section of Watauga County and is only about thirty minutes drive from one of the area's best kept secrets – the spectacularly beautiful Watauga Lake, just over the nearby Tennessee state line. Downtown Boone is within fifteen minutes, as is Banner Elk - accessible via a scenic short cut just down the road.

We think this one is a big winner!
Riverside Cabin has convenient paved access for all but the last .6 miles.

Not what we expected, we left early
The listing for the property seem private and great for pets. It advertised privacy in the gated dog lot. The gated lot had multiple areas at the bottom 6 inches or more where a lot of dogs could get out, causing me not to leave my dog out without supervision out of fear he could get out. Multiple dogs across the river were constantly loose and were running across the river into our yard making it impossible for us to take our dogs near the water or enjoy the area. The hot tub had clearly not been cleaned as there was a lot of debris in the bottom. The deck had not been blown off or swept in so long it was absolutely covered in sticky yellow debris off of trees as well as every chair was covered with months of dead foliage. Every time my dogs went out they came in covered in these and I had to spend a ton of time picking them off the dogs and myself leaving me and the dogs both a sticky mess. Both screen doors have the screen almost completely ripped out and the doors don’t latch thus allowing the dogs to be able to just walk out so I couldn’t even leave any of the doors open to enjoy the fresh air. And lastly, two of the three remotes for the TV had dead batteries meaning the entire weekend every time I want to turn the TV on or off or adjust the volume I had to get up and go across the room to adjust same. Not the end of the world, but not what you expect for what was paid for two nights.

Scenic cabin
This property is quiet and with a big back yard overlooking a stream. It was great to bring our dog for our family get away. It was what we were looking for in terms of remoteness without any steep roads in the winter. It is a little remote and takes 20 minutes to get to groceries, attractions. BUT at the same time not too far to anything. There’s a great little restaurant close by as well as a nice park with dog walking trails. We would book again if heading to that area.

Tropical Storm Nicole
Unfortunately, we were unable to stay at this property as we arrived right at the height of Tropical Storm Nicole. The property itself seemed a little older/worn than the pictures indicated. There were animal stains on the bedroom carpets and a bit of a lingering odor. We are thankful to management for finding us another property to stay at during our visit since the river was literally up to/under the house and continuing to rise. Odd for sure and still recommend this home for families with pets and desire for rustic cabin with room to roam outdoors - when there isn't a storm!

Hiking, campfires and mountains
It was a wonderful get away. Went on several hikes Linville falls, Otter falls, Crab orchard falls, Hebron and Boone fork trail, and horseback riding on dutch creek trails and checked out Valle Crucis community park. We enjoyed family time with badminton, horseshoes, playing in the river, playing football in the large lawn, and nightly fires for s'mores or dinner. We used the wegoshop app for groceries, that was a nice treat for me (mom). Any questions I had were answered quickly, or addressed. The property didn't have a ping pong table during our stay, it had been ruined and they weren't able to replace it befoour stay. so might want to check on that before your stay.

Perfect Getaway
We enjoyed our Christmas stay! The house was off the beaten path and peaceful. We loved the fenced area for our dog too, giving him more freedom. The house was clean except for cobwebs on the ceilings in a few rooms. The kitchen was lacking some essentials, like a cutting board and measuring cups/spoons. Overall it was a great place to stay and only about 35 minutes from Beech Mountain.

Great spot!! Some of the outside furniture is a bit tired and the inside needs a fresh coat of paint, but we couldn’t have had a better time. The dogs LOVED the River as much as we did!! Location is great for about anything you want to do. Kitchen is very well stocked.

Not what we hoped for
Outdated, dingy, not very clean, unable to enjoy deck because of how unkept it is as well as rotting furniture, it just simply needs some attention all around inside and out. Pictures on site are old. We also had to leave at 10:00pm two nights early with 4 small children because the house lost power and water. No refund for that yet. For what we had to pay to stay here a week, we expected it to be a lot nicer than what it was.

Quiet and Peaceful
This was a great place to getaway from it all. Located right on the river and our dog had a blast with the big area of land and quiet neighbors. The river was shallow and perfect for wading and setting chairs in the waters and having it flow around your toes to stay cool. Perfect weather with no humidity. Short trip into town for necessities and only 35 minutes to Watauga Lake. We had one issue that the management company was able to resolve to our satisfaction. We will come to visit the High Country area again.

Weekend relaxation
This place is perfect. Loved the hot tub and the beautiful view. We will definitely visit again. Just a side note for some. Be prepared to climb many steps to enter the house. It was a bit of a challenge to keep our 3 year old away from them. And be sure to bring 2 child gates if you have small children. One for the entrance steps and one for the hot tub steps. Beautiful and peaceful place.

We had a nice time here but found a few things that needed attention. The dishes were very old and chipped. New coffee cups, soup bowls and plates are in order. The gate for the fenced in yard needs some work or it won’t last much longer. On the bright side, the shady setting was wonderful and the scenery in the backyard was wonderful and very peaceful.

Beautiful home, perfect location!
We spent a few days at this sweet river home and it was nothing short of perfect. Extremely peaceful and so beautiful. The house was very clean and up to date. It was cozy and perfect for our family of four. We spent a ton of time on the porch and in the hot tub. There wasn’t a hammock or badminton net like the pictures had online, so the kids were a little disappointed, but really otherwise it couldn’t have been better. We will stay there again!
