About this cabin rental

Looking for a unique, private, riverfront retreat or the perfect getaway cabin?

Privacy abounds the moment you enter the black iron gates and into this ultimate hideaway surrounded by the New River. Start the day with coffee and/or breakfast on the deck listening to the sounds of the river and end your day peacefully in the rocking chairs listening to the sounds of nature, grilling out on the grill provided.

Inside, you'll find a great room, along with satellite TV with DVD for entertainment, washer/dryer and a full kitchen. The sleeper sofa offers a place for the children or extra guests. Each room has been quaintly & tastefully decorated with modern furnishings and accessories. Whether you're spending a weekend or a week, you won't want to go back home!

Please note that this property absolutely does not permit pets anywhere in or on the premises at any time including outdoor spaces. Bona fide service animals as prescribed by a medical professional may be permitted, and the presence of a service animal must be disclosed prior to check-in. Misrepresenting a pet as a service animal is a crime under North Carolina law. Guests who bring a pet to a no-pet home will be subject to a non-refundable $750 fee to reimburse the owner for wrongful use of their home as well as compensate for removing pet hair and dander and clean carpets and upholstery.
If any pets are discovered during your tenancy including via security camera or observation of neighbors or BRMR staff, your credit card on file will be charged for the above-mentioned fee.

Excellent location, great service. Clean, well stocked, great WIFI. The best though is the easy access to the River and town. Todd is a great community. Checkout the Mercantile exchange and River Girls!

We stayed for 3 nights. The cabin's interior is just as the photos showed. Clean enough and well appointed. Be warned however that there is a very bright street light right out side of the master bedroom shining all night. The shades in the master are very thin / light filtering at best and the room remains so bright all night. I cannot imagine why they don't at least put up better shades if they cannot turn off the street light. We slept poorly.We complained about this the morning after the first night and the agency said they would send someone over to fix that day and they did not show up. We called again and they finally came the next day (our last) and what they did, did not solve the problem at all.Note, the house is fairly high up above the river on a hill, and there is a poorly maintained and steep trail through the woods to get down to it on which you pass some old beer bottles and broken glass. Once you are down there, the river itself is very nice!Note on driving to the house. You must drive up a very short but very steep and rain rutted gravel road to reach the house. 4 wheel drive recommended.
