A Moon River View
Location: Boone New River & Jefferson Cabin Rental
Type: Log Homes
View: Mountain View
Description
A Moon River View has four bedrooms but also has one additional private sleeping area.
While this beautiful cabin is not overlooking the Mississippi River, it does face westward to the New River, a tributary of the good old Moon River!
A Moon River View is both an exciting destination, and a relaxing getaway.
As you drive up to the large parking area, you'll know this is a very special place. With upper and lower decks on both the front and back of the lodge, there is always the perfect place to enjoy nature.
Sunsets to remember- The 2 decks on the front of the house have gorgeous layered, long range views of the mountains to the west. You'll want to make it a daily ritual to watch the sun set between the peaks.
There is plenty of space for busy families. The lodge has three levels, and you'll enter on the middle level. There, you'll find the library/music studio as well as the comfortable TV room. Also on this level are a full bathroom and two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed. This level also has a another surprise. On the secluded rear covered deck, a new Jacuzzi hot tub is ready to relax you.
As you ascend the stairs to the top level, you'll be thrilled with the high vaulted ceiling and log decor. The large, open great room has been professionally decorated and has an inviting sitting area surrounding a large gas fireplace, large flat screen TV with satellite, and a sound system. The tall windows on the front of the house open onto the upper deck and the long range views beyond, while the secluded rear deck features an outdoor dining area. You'll enjoy the sounds of nature as you cook on the large gas grill on the deck. Just inside, the fully equipped kitchen features new appliances and a beautiful rustic wooden table to enjoy long leisurely meals with family and friends.... but don't forget to go out on the deck to enjoy those sunsets! The top level also includes he master bedroom with a king bed, a full bath, and a half bath.
After dinner, you can go down to the bottom level of the house. There, you'll enjoy the new regulation size pool table. There is also a small wet bar with a microwave for late night popcorn. You'll also discover a large flat screen TV equipped with satellite to watch the big game, as well as 3 video game consoles: Playstation 3, Wii, and XBox 360, along with an assortment of games. This level also great for families with kids. It includes a full bathroom, a bedroom with 2 twin beds, and a large bedroom with a queen bed and a queen sleeper-sofa.
Life at the lodge is relaxing. In the morning, you'll sit on one of the four decks and watch deer in the woods as you sip your coffee. Looking down, you'll watch the sunshine creep into the valleys below. Later, you'll take a hike upward from the lodge on the fire-break trail that starts from the parking area. Then you'll take a picnic lunch down to the picnic tables and watch the kids enjoy the fully equipped playground area...all on the property. There is even a small hibachi grill in case you want to cook hot dogs on the spot.
For the afternoon, you'll have to choose between reading a good book on one of the decks, or learning to play a musical instrument. There is a keyboard and beginner level guitar, mandolin, and banjo hanging on the walls waiting for you to create the Appalachian vibe. You can also hike or drive down the hill to the New river to fish, play, or just enjoy. If you want more excitement, you can drive 15 minutes into Todd and try tubing or kayaking on the river as well. However, you'll want to make it back to the lodge for that sunset!
That evening, you'll want to take the family back down to the playground area and build a fire in the fire pit (fire wood provided). You can sit in the chairs around the pit and roast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and watch the stars until late at night, before you go back in for your nightly billiards challenge.
Convenience is important. There are two sets of washer/dryers (one on the top level, one on the bottom level). And if you forgot anything, you're only 20 minutes from Boone with stores and restaurants.
Life at "A Moon River View" is relaxing and refreshing. You'll enjoy your stay, and look forward to your next visit!

The Story Behind the Name
We were always a musical family, some with formal training, and others off us with back-porch training. Therefore, we knew our cabin had to have a musical name, and we wanted something that referenced the New river within walking distance of the cabin (and visible from the front deck in winter).
The New River is unique because it's the only major river in North America that flows north. In fact, the New River flows north to the Ohio river, which in turn feeds into the Great Mississippi. Also, the New river is also one of the oldest rivers in the world from a geological standpoint. Therefore, we knew we wanted something timeless, with a connection to the river.
We struggled with the name for a while. However, it was not until a late evening family reunion brainstorming session that we finally voted on the name- "A Moon River View". The song, "Moon River" is from the movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and references expanded horizons. The haunting melody and lyrics of the song celebrate the timelessness of the river, just as we felt time seemed to stop when we were at the cabin.
Consequently, to commemorate the name, there will always be musical instruments in the cabin, some sheet music to "Moon River" and several stopped antique clocks (because we never bother to put batteries in them).
We hope time stops for our guests as well.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at A Moon River View! The views were spectacular and the cabin was immaculate! Spacious, comfortable, very clean and lots of things to do during our time there. By day we explored the nearby hiking trails and town (Boone), and by night we enjoyed the hot tub, pool tables, grilling out, roasting marshmallows in the nearby firepit, and watching the sun set. The TVs were big, the beds were very comfortable, and the cabin was furnished with all the items we needed (even a piano keyboard and guitar!). We had a great time staying with friends at A Moon River View and would strongly recommend this rental to anyone!- Ben C., Posted: 10/12/2013
We have stayed in this cabin on several different occasions in each of the four seasons. The cabin is in a great location as it is isolated enough to get away from the hubbub, but conveniently near grocery stores, restaurants, a rafting company, and more. The view is spectacular and the house furnished with everything you need. We will definitely continue to stay at Moon River View!- Jessica & Kevin, Posted: 02/14/2015
Our family stayed in your wonderful house in June 2016. Everything was perfect all the correspondence prior to our trip , picking up the key and instructions on Sunday to the incredible house. Everything that we needed was provided and more. The house was exactly as described. What a glorious week for our family.- Pamela A., Posted: 06/19/2016
Great place for a large family with young children- Tyler, Posted: 07/14/2017
It was great! It had everything we needed and was clean. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit- Laura, Posted: 07/26/2017
We loved staying at The Moon River View. Will definitely stay there again!- Jacob, Posted: 02/22/2018
This property was perfect for our large family. We were 5 family units gathering for a birthday celebration. The house was well stocked with paper products, sample sizes of soaps and shampoo, etc., and most linens. We had to search for towels and blankets a bit, but found what was needed. The house is represented well in the photographs, even though the layout is hard to understand until you get there and see it for yourself. It is in a neighborhood, and the nearby neighbors are clearly visible (meaning it's not an isolated property). Their dogs are friendly, but ended up in our cars and actually in our house a few times! It's only a 15 minute drive into Boone so that's nice. My only major complaint is that the A/C unit is not adequate for warm, humid weather like we had this week - the top floor was warm while the basement level was freezing (the thermostat is on the middle floor). Not sure how this would play out in cold weather. (**Note from BRMR: Opening the vents on the highest level and closing the vents on the lower level will help with this!)
However, the positives far outweigh the negative: the beds are amazingly comfortable, the rooms large enough to tuck the babies in near their parents, there was plenty of hot water, and everyone was able to share the baths, the basement level was dry (so many mountain houses have damp basements, but not this one!) and comfortable (other than being cold), we had loads of fun with the hot tub and pool table, and the deck and views! Oh my goodness, so beautiful. There are many chairs and rockers on the decks so we enjoyed many evenings playing 'Mafia' and talking while the sun went down or a storm blew in. This is the best rental I have yet to find in the mountains for our group. Thanks for the great stay! -Kellee- Kellee, Posted: 06/26/2019
We truly enjoyed our visit to a Moon River View! The view from the porches was exactly what we were looking for! This was a great property for an extended family group as we were able to spread out between the multiple levels, each with our own bathroom and living spaces. The kids loved the playground and we had a great time sitting around the fire making s'mores. We wished we could've stayed longer!- Megan, Posted: 10/17/2019
We have book thru Blue Ridge many times and they are so helpful and anytime we need anything the respond very quickly. Great company!- Virginia, Posted: 12/17/2019
This cabin was perfect for my family! Very spacious and loved every inch of it! Definitely will be back! Highly recommended!- Terri, Posted: 06/16/2020
This home is beautiful and the views are stunning. Our families were able to spread out and we loved having s'mores down at the fire pit and enjoyed the hot tub each evening! We will definitely be back!- Cristina, Posted: 07/03/2020
Our cabin stay was great. The place was clean and spacious. Plenty of amenities to have a secluded stay in the hills of the Appalachian Mountains!- Dustin, Posted: 08/04/2020
We were a group of 5 adults and one 6 year old. Having three floors so that we could all spread out was wonderful. The hot tub, hammock and play area were big hits. And as promised, the views from the top deck were fantastic. Beautiful sunsets, dark skies, cool mornings - just what we needed.- Lisa, Posted: 08/12/2020
Very well appointed property with excellent entertainment options. Extremely clean and exceptional views. Lodging on all three levels offered private and quiet setting for younger children's naps and early bed time while adults were able to stay up and enjoy themselves.- Jeff, Posted: 11/18/2020
Great space for our family of 11. I loved having 3 levels for us to spread out. Beautiful views.- Gretchen, Posted: 12/08/2020
Our family had a great Thanksgiving at Moon River View ! Plenty of room for 7 adults and 3 children. Beautiful mountain views. We really enjoyed the little fire pit area and chairs. Nice multiple decks. Kitchen was a little tight, but we made it work!- Margaret, Posted: 12/11/2020
We loved the cabin. It was perfect for our family. We got a white Christmas to boot! Would definitely stay again.- Robin, Posted: 12/28/2020
Great location and ample space for a large family or multiple families.- Criseida, Posted: 01/12/2021
Beautiful views! A great space for families to have fun and relax!- Christin, Posted: 02/01/2021
Lots of fun- Cherie, Posted: 02/17/2021
Great place, definitely nice and quiet. Well stocked and extremely clean!- Kim, Posted: 03/25/2021
We found this cabin to be exactly what we needed! We were in town for our son's wedding at Sky Retreat and needed a beautiful, relaxing place to sleep 12 comfortably. A New Moon River View was just that. The views were phenomenal! Unfortunately the rain didn't allow us to utilize the fire pit. The house was very clean and well stocked! Would definitely recommend this place! Pay attention to your emails regarding GPS not getting you there though!! Waze brought us there correctly but others in our group using GPS (whom I forgot to notify ??) were directed elsewhere!! Beds were very comfortable. Thank you for a lovely experience!!- Anna, Posted: 03/29/2021
