Description

This beautiful cabin above the New River and just north of Boone is a peaceful and charming getaway. The cabin has hardwood floors throughout and little touches to help you relax and retreat during your stay. The cabin has a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and bar seats. There is a dining room table next to the kitchen with room for six. The living room features a comfortable couch and loveseat and a wood-burning fireplace. Just off the living room, you can access the upper deck, which has a bistro table and two chairs to overlook the valley, a grill, and two Adirondack chairs. The master bedroom on the first level of the cabin has a King bed, a TV, and access to the bathroom which can also be accessed through the hallway.

Upstairs is a loft area with large triangular windows, comfy floor cushions, a Papasan chair, soft lighting, and a small floor tea table. The loft is an excellent place to sit and have morning coffee, evening wine, or practice meditation while viewing the mountain scenery through the spectacular triangular windows. There are two bedrooms on this level. One has a queen bed, and the other has two twin beds. There is also a full bath on this floor.


There is a fire pit in the yard for an evening marshmallow roast in the yard. On the lower deck, there are two chairs to enjoy the view from there. You can walk down to the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world and the only river in North America that flows South to North. It is a .8 mile walk down the hill. You can also access the New River by car at the Big Hill Community Park just a short drive from the cabin. The New River is perfect for tubing, rafting, fishing, and more. Some outfitters host rafting and tubing trips and guided fishing trips on the New River (as well as the other nearby rivers). This is a special treat in the spring, summer, and fall! 

 

The cabin is wheelchair accessible, and there is a small portable ramp in the master bedroom bathroom closet to access the upper deck from the living room.


New River Retreat is located just fifteen minutes north of Boone, so all that the High Country has to offer is just a short drive away. You’re sure to love this relaxing haven!


Please note that the video tour mentions a Wii in the loft. This console is no longer in the home.

Firewood may be added by reaching out to us more than a week in advance. You get two wrapped bundles and a firestarter for $25/night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at New River Retreat. So much so that we stayed an extra day. The cabin had everything we needed and was clean, spacious, and welcoming. Loved the mountain views. The cabin has easy access to Boone and West Jefferson and all areas in between. Especially liked the privacy of the River Ridge development. Very little traffic and was a nice area for walking the dog. We will definitely look at a return trip in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at the New River Retreat. The house was very comfortable and exactly what we had wanted for our quiet Thanksgiving weekend. We cuddled up around the fireplace and enjoyed views from the loft. We even had a dusting of snow while we sat in the hot tub. Very nicely appointed house.

This was our second stay in a Blue Ridge property. Their staff is always friendly and helpful. We will continue to seek out Blue Ridge properties when we visit the area.

What a great place! We enjoyed our stay at New River Retreat! We went for Memorial Day weekend. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet. The house had everything my family of four needed. Beautiful views, clean, comfortable and really great amenities. The kitchen even had everything you needed to cook, and the grill was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Very nice house in a convenient location. Short drive to Boone, blue ridge parkway, etc. Hot tub was great and perfect after a long day of hiking. House has all the amenities we needed.

The cabin was nice. It worked well for a weekend get away. It is close enough to Boone, but still felt somewhat secluded and had a great view. The living space was a little tight with 6 adults. The hot tub was nice but had to walk around the house in the cold to get to it. Overall, pretty good for the price.

My husband and I have been wanting a relaxing getaway all year but with Covid it was nearly impossible. The house was very clean, had all the supplies, and the view was amazing! Everything was great EXCEPT the mattresses. I read a review from 2017 where someone mentioned this but figured they had been replaced since then. They were clean just too soft for our liking. Anyway, I would probably stay here again as it was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed it very much!
- Amy A. , Posted: 11/16/2020
Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! It looks like you were originally booked at 36 North, but then moved to Apple of My Eye. We've shared your feedback about the mattress at Apple of My Eye with our team. We'd love to have you back again at either home! - BRMR

Amazing experience for our group of friends (4 total and 2 doggos). PLENTY of space for 8+. Extremely slanted yard was the only thing we could pick at really. 5 Stars! Will stay with Blue Ridge Rentals again when we return next year.

The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had every pot and pan you could ever need, and it was so nice to have WiFi and AC! My absolute favorite part was sitting on the back deck overlooking the Mountain View. I would definitely come back!

This property was beautiful views were outstanding private and quiet! House was clean spacious and comfortable. Hot tube was very relaxing! The slow to the fire pit was extremely steep and Unenjoyable because of the steepness of the hill. But I would recommend this cabin for anyone visiting the Boone area.

This was our first time renting a cabin in the mountains after decades of renting at the beach. Blue Ridge made this quick weekend getaway easy. There was a level of service here that you just don't get with beach rentals. We will definitely be back. Thanks!
