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.

Great place to stay!- Shirley, Posted: 04/13/2022
The house was absolutely beautiful and the sunsets were amazing. There was a hiking trail right behind the house that was steep, but convenient. The house was well stocked and very clean.- Melissa, Posted: 03/24/2022
Magnificent place, beautiful inside and out! Would return in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing such a special place with us.- Fletcher, Posted: 02/23/2022
We planned this trip as a Christmas gift for our kids. We try to give them more experiences than material things and I can safely say they had a blast!! The pool table was a popular place to hang out, as well as the hot tub! The views are AMAZING!- Whitney, Posted: 02/07/2022
We loved staying here! Was a BEAUTIFUL view of the mountains! The house was equipped with everything we needed and was very nicely decorated.- Elise, Posted: 01/26/2022
Loved the place! Great views- Austin, Posted: 01/11/2022
Huge house with amazing views on top of a mountain. A perfect weekend getaway for multiple families.- Rebekah, Posted: 08/10/2021
House was as advertised. Plenty of room for the nine of us. It was well appointed and was well located...a feeling of seclusion at the house, yet only 20 minutes to DT Boone.- Timothy, Posted: 07/14/2021
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
Great place, definitely nice and quiet. Well stocked and extremely clean!- Kim, Posted: 03/25/2021

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
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
Great space for our family of 11. I loved having 3 levels for us to spread out. Beautiful views.- Gretchen, Posted: 12/08/2020
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 loved staying at The Moon River View. Will definitely stay there again!- Jacob, Posted: 02/22/2018
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
Great place for a large family with young children- Tyler, Posted: 07/14/2017
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
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
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
