About this cabin rental

Come and enjoy this beautiful 3-story log cabin in the River Ridge community, a quiet country setting near the New River!

The main level consists of a large living room with a stone wood-burning fireplace and exposed beam cathedral ceilings. Cozy furniture is arranged around a widescreen plasma TV with DVD and VCR. There is a dining area to one side of the fully equipped kitchen, and off the kitchen is a covered deck furnished with a gas grill and a hot tub. The main level also has a bedroom with a queen bed, full-sized futon, TV & DVD player, and a full bathroom.

Rest and relax as you enjoy the mountain breezes and views while soaking in the hot tub. Access to the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world and the only river in North America that flows South to North, is at the Big Hill Community Park just a short drive from the cabin and is perfect for tubing, rafting, fishing, and more. There are outfitters who host rafting and tubing trips, as well as 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! .

Bring your food, park your car for days, and enjoy a retreat from the rest of the world! Located just 10 minutes north of Boone shopping and dining, and within 30 minutes to Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, Main Street Blowing Rock, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawksnest Tubing & Zipline, and Appalachian State University, and within 45 minutes to Sugar Mountain and Ski Beech.

We had an absolute blast staying at the cabin at River Ridge. It was perfect for our laid back family. We were looking for something with charm and comfort and we found it here. Blue Mountain Rentals worked with us every step of the way making sure that we had everything that we needed. They were very personable and ever present in case we needed anything (which we didn’t). It was a beautiful 20 minute drive into Boone and we explored the ski resorts nearby as well, which were a bit further but enjoyable drives. You definitely need AWD or 4 wheel drive in this area when it snows. Honestly, we could have stayed in the cabin the whole time we were there and been perfectly content. We ordered fire wood and it was ready upon arrival. Sitting around the fire and in the hot tub were my favorite things to do here. The cabin has such a homey, lived in feeling that we immediately relaxed and enjoyed the vibe. We would stay here again if we ever make it back!

Pet friendly and cozy. All appliances were old and in disrepair. TVs broken and/or non functional. Book via VRBO but tons of emails and paperwork outside of VRBO, including additional nickel and dime payments for pets and firewood. At 800/night, I wouldn’t expect this level of disrepair or fees.
