About this house rental
Riverside Retreat and Karaoke Oasis
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Just about perfect for a family reunion, a corporate retreat, or an intimate, fun-filled wedding, this McDowell home brings a wealth of entertainment to the banks of the Bullpasture River. There are games, activities, and amenities for all ages and interests, from the game room and movie theater to the private pool in the glass house.
Built in 1907 and thoughtfully updated in the century since, this riverfront home is perched on a hillside in small-town McDowell. The setting is beautiful, with the river below, the mountains off in the distance, and the Virginia countryside stretching out before you.
What makes this home so special are the amenities you'll find at every turn. Looking to host a tournament with friends and family? Try Ping-Pong, air hockey, dual-shot basketball, foosball, ring toss, or darts. Interested in games? Opt for cornhole, Giant Jenga, or Giant Four-in-a-Row. Hoping for some unmatched relaxation? Take a dip in the pool, screen a movie in the home theater (with seating for nine adults and six kids) featuring a 120-inch projection screen, or gather in the game room for drinks at the bar and live music courtesy of a karaoke machine, an electronic drum set, standing bongos, a piano, speakers, and - of course - a stage.
Every space feels roomy enough for a crowd, from the expansive kitchen to the multiple decks overlooking the natural scenery. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the outdoor swing, afternoons barbecuing on the gas grill, and evenings telling stories by the fireplace before retreating to the steam shower in the primary bathroom. Additional amenities include two refrigerators, a washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and smart TVs throughout the house.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2025
This house is everything it says it is. Out of the way but a great place to get together with friends and family to make new memories. It rained one of the days we’re there but that was fine because there was so much room and things provided in the house that we didn’t even notice! Management was excellent

Our family came down to enjoy the sugar maple festival and stayed at this incredible hidden gem! We enjoyed the giant rec room during a rainy day and explored the property on the nice day! Would definitely stay here again. If you’re an adventurous family who loves history then this is your spot!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
We came up here for a retreat and had a very nice experience. The house was well kept when we got here and had plenty of space for our large group of 24 people. There were plenty of towels, blankets, and pillow for all us. Furthermore, the decks had amazing views of the mountains and was definitely a huge plus. Overall, I would say it was lovely house and area to be at for the weekend, and would like to go back again.
