Description
Riverside Retreat is the perfect getaway that marries the best of mountain escapes with the convenience of modern comforts. Nestled in a fork of the picturesque New River valley, it sits just a short drive from downtown Boone and all it has to offer, meshing relaxation and recreation in a perfect blend.
Exterior: Riverside Retreat is a modern mountain lodge featuring live edge siding, great outdoor living areas, and a large, flat lot with over 150' of river frontage.  As you step out onto the expansive deck sitting over the river, you'll be immersed in the relaxing sound of flowing water.  It is the ideal place to enjoy an outdoor meal with loved ones or you can relax in the comfortable seating under the covered porch enjoying the warmth and glow of the propane fire table.  If a wood-burning fire is more your speed, the riverside fire pit is just in the yard.  There's no better place to roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars.  A few steps away, you can strike up a competitive game of tether ball for the kids (or adults) who refuse to sit still!  The well-maintained frontage along the river offers areas where you can enjoy fishing, exploring, tubing, splashing, or meditating.
Interior: Inside, modern touches are well blended with rustic, homegrown comfort. The living area boasts stained wood ceilings, while a large stone hearth anchors the living room, providing both a focal point and a cozy spot for chilly evenings. The décor is a blend of rustic and modern, with natural wood furnishings, plush sofas, and tasteful artwork.  The upper-level sun room offers views of the river along three walls as well as a host of entertainment options.
Kitchen: The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. It features beautiful quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, and more than enough room to prepare for large family gatherings. Cooking utensils, dishes, and cookware are provided so that mealtime with family is always an option.
Dining Area: Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area has a large table with seating for eight or more, perfect for family meals or gatherings. Beautiful artwork sets the scene inside, but you're never far away from the relaxing sound of running water on the deck.  Direct access to the deck from the dining room and kitchen makes it easy for those who prefer to grill.
Bedrooms: Riverside Retreat has four bedrooms, each designed for maximum comfort and relaxation. The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and has a king-sized bed, direct access to the deck overlooking the water, and an en-suite bathroom with a riverstone shower. The remaining bedrooms are all located upstairs.  These include a queen bedroom, a kids' bunkroom with two sets of bunks and a trundle, and finally, a Jack and Jill bedroom with a queen bed.  All rooms feature very comfortable beds, quality linens, and easy access to bathrooms.
Bathrooms: There are two and a half modern and well-appointed bathrooms, with features such as walk-in showers, sleek vanities, and plenty of fluffy towels. 
Entertainment and Amenities: For entertainment, the cabin is equipped with multiple, smart,  flat-screen TVs. High-speed internet access ensures you can stay connected or stream your favorite shows to any TV. There is also a fun collection of interactive games including foosball, Connect4, and Scrabble as well as many board games and books for a cozy night in.
Proximity to Town: Despite its tranquil setting, Riverside Retreat is exceptionally well located near downtown Boone, with all the amenities it has to offer, including ubereats and multiple pizza delivery options to the property.  Riverside Retreat allows you to enjoy the peace of the mountains while still having easy access to everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We stayed with our children and grandchildren (5 thru 14) and everyone loved it! Boys loved playing next to the creek.

Beautiful house in the mountains! Very nice, quiet and safe property. Perfect location and beautiful place to stay. 100% recommended

We had an amazing stay. The kids loved the bunk room and being able to play in the creek. There was tons of room and nothing can beat the view from the porch with the fire pit and sound of the creek. It was convenient to get to Boone and Blowing Rock. We are already talking about a return trip.

Our stay at Riverside Retreat was absolutely wonderful! The home is beautifully designed, the décor and layout strike the perfect balance of comfort and style. The deck was one of our favorite spots, especially in the mornings with a cup of coffee by the propane fire pit overlooking the peaceful surroundings. The location couldn't have been better for visiting our daughter at App State close enough to everything, yet tucked away enough to feel relaxing. The house was the perfect size for two families to enjoy comfortably, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed (and more!). A big shout out to Blue Ridge Rentals for their excellent customer service when we needed more propane for the fire pit, they had it taken care of right away. We'd definitely stay here again, truly a five-star mountain getaway!

This house was just right! The location on the creek was so peaceful. The kids spent hours playing in the water and the adults enjoyed sitting on the covered porch. The house is conveniently located near downtown Boone and not far from Blowing Rock. Quiet area. The house was well-furnished and nicely stocked. The kids loved the game room, and it was nice to have a second living space so we could all spread out a bit.

Perfect place for our family of 5. Big kids loved the game room and little one loved the teepee and all the toys. We all loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek. Easy access to Boone and Blowing Rock and the many hikes and activities in the area.

Riverside retreat was the perfect getaway house! Kids loved the gravel road for bikes and the creek, where they played and fished for hours! Parents loved kids being entertained and all the beautiful property. We kept saying everything about it was so much nicer than other mountain houses we have stayed in. Bonus is being 10 min from dtn Boone so an easy drive to most everything to do and places to eat. Cant wait to go back!

The Blue Ridge was a perfect retreat for our family and kids. It was super pet friendly, had amazing decor and touches, and the location next to the mountain creek was perfect fun for our dog and kids. It's less than 10 minutes from the center of Boone and very peaceful. We can't wait to return.
