Hike or take a short drive to the river from this popular 2300 sq ft custom log cabin surrounded by 20 acres close to downtown Boone, with pool table, air hockey, outdoor fireplace, central AC, hot tub and kids play area overlooking the valley.

Very cozy and beautiful cabin. Loved the views. Overall an amazing place. Having everything you needed was supplied. Love that. Great stay and relaxing. Would love to come back for another stay. Kids enjoyed the games and their own play room…Thank you for opening your home up to us.

I have never seen a better view anywhere. We sat on the porch in the incredibly comfortable rockers and just sucked it in. Everything about the house was fabulous. The kids loved the "camproom" and the playroom and also enjoyed the deer trails. We saw wild turkey just strolling around the yard. The bedrooms were sooo comfortable and we slept with the windows open with the lovely cool mountain air, perfect quiet, and looked out at the night stars throughout the night. What a great place.

What can I say?? The house was just perfect for our vacation. It's beautiful, the view is breathtaking, the home is decorated just beautifully, the kitchen is very well-stocked, it's roomy, yet cozy...it's just awesome!! Our children loved it...especially the game room. Our daughter (8) kept asking if we could come back there? She wants to come every year...me too!! We will definitely be back to this wonderful home in the mountains. We had an absolutely wonderful vacation. The home is just lovely. We enjoyed meals on the porch. We enjoyed nights by the fire outside. It was just wonderful. Thank you for helping to make our vacation so special and memorable!!

Rhys' River Valley - Valle Crucis Area NC Rental

There are those who clearly want something a little bit more special than what the typical seasonal rental house offers. Everything about Rhys' River Valley has been carefully thought out for the vacationer's pleasure.

This beautiful home has many extras, from the hand-hewn logs, hand-made rhododendron porch railings, tongue & groove paneled wall and ceilings in every room, stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, and wormy hardwood floors.

This impressive 2300 square foot log cabin is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. The exterior, what with its log and chinked walls and exposed hand-hewn beams on the fifteen foot high cathedral ceiling porch, makes for a truly wonderful appearance. The porch has wickerwork rockers, chaise-lounge, a few occasional chairs and a lovely dining area that features an 8’x3’x4” solid polished tree-section table. Its greatest asset though, is one of the most beautiful views in the High Country mountain region. Stand on the porch and look out into the distance or closer in enjoy the river and horse pasture views. Its South-facing perspective ensures a sunny day including impressive sunsets. Depending when you visit, a clear sky will usually be a moonlit one right in front of you. With such rich vegetation on the surrounding 23 acres, your stay will more than likely include a visit by passing deer and wild turkey. So far no sign of any bears!

The interior has also been thoroughly and thoughtfully designed with the comfort and pleasure of the vacationer in mind. Rhys’ River Valley is a spacious home, especially important when more than one family is staying in the home. There are four sleeping areas, two with en suite bathrooms and each with a view, decorated in mountain decor with attractive quilts, goose down comforters, upgraded mattresses and interior pine walls – all quite cozy. In total there are four full bathrooms, all with imported tile, cherry cabinets, and the master bathroom has a Whirlpool tub. There are two queen beds, one king, and three single beds for sleeping. There is also a queen sleeper sofa and a roll-away bed for extra guests. The children’s room has a camping theme, with the three beds (two arranged in bunk-bed form) finished in tree bark and the furnishings and trimmings having a distinct outdoors feel.

For entertainment the large playroom has a pool table with ping-pong top plus an air hockey table, along with a TV with streaming abilities, and video game system. It, too, has a great view from its two sets of double windows.

The upstairs living room is wonderful with its high cathedral ceiling and hand-hewn beams, stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, wormy hardwood floors and best of all, its two pairs of French doors and floor to ceiling central windows provide a very light and airy feel as well as, of course, the spectacular view. This large and inviting room is the perfect gathering place for the whole family. Cuddle up by the roaring fire or sit at the large dining room table and chat with the chef in the gourmet kitchen featuring cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and unique Penta-Gold granite counter-tops. 

Outside there is a large hot tub in a private setting which commands the view and night sky – just try to count all the stars on a clear night! This is the perfect place for solitude and peace. To the front, there is one-half acre of grassy flat land including a few shade trees (remember, it’s South facing) that support a few swings and other playground features for the kids. This house has it all and mere words will not do it justice. Within a short drive or hike is the Watauga River for fishing, tubing or playing in the water. Two popular swimming holes are also located approximately ten minutes down the main road for summer fun!

 Rhys' River Valley has convenient paved access all the way to its private drive.
