About this property

River Rock: stream side, 11 acres, hot tub, waterfall

** Update on Helene hurricane, River Rock cabin is not damaged and operational **

River Rock is a three bedroom, two bath cabin located in a private park-like setting on 11 beautiful acres of grassy meadows, waterfalls, and tranquil trout stream.
If you are looking for a secluded and private streamside retreat, you will not find a better location anywhere. Elk Creek, which is rated as one of the cleanest in all of North Carolina; runs right in front of this cabin. The sounds of the rushing stream can be heard throughout the property and the decks on River Rock overlook the stream and a gorgeous grassy meadow where deer and other wildlife frequently roam.
This mountain retreat offers privacy seclusion with easy access, but yet is convenient to area attractions as it is only 10 minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway, 10 minutes to horseback riding at Leatherwood stables, 20 minutes to downtown Boone (great for ASU football weekends), 30 minutes to Blowing Rock (excellent dining and shopping) and 30-45 minutes to 4 different ski areas.
River Rock offers rustic comfort with a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, WIFI, satellite TV, washer & dryer, propane gas and electric heaters, and all the bed linens and towels to make your stay comfortable. There is also a gorgeous stone (river rock) fireplace in the living room that creates a very warm and cozy atmosphere. The cabin has its very own fire ring (great for family marshmallow roasts-please do not use inside fireplace:), as well as access to hiking trails which lead to a beautiful 20 ft waterfall. There is also a picnic table on the property where you can sit and relax to the sounds of the stream, or have lunch in the middle of the mountains!
The privacy of this property makes it ideal for anything from a quiet honeymoon or romantic weekend to a memorable family vacation.

Bach trip stay

Beautiful scenery, and beautiful cabin. I would recommend if you want to stay by yourself. Natural walk to the waterfall, and creek. Hot tub is always a plus just would recommend some more lighting around it. I will be back for sure!

A 5 star peaceful hideaway

We stayed here for a few nights this spring. The cabin is awesome! Plenty of room for our family of four and our dog who loved the ability to roam free and play in the beautiful, peaceful creek flowing through the property. The cabin is well stocked with many amenities and supplies. Plenty for the kids to do with tree swing, hot tub, game room, and tons of movies to choose from. The whole process was seamless and John was quick to communicate as needed. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing mountain get away.

Amazing response to a catastrophic event

My wife and I and our two dogs and our two grown children planned a 10 day stay. The property is amazing. The locations and size was perfect for the dogs to run and for our overall relaxation. Unfortunately during our stay nature decided to pay us a visit with Hurricane Helena. John and Kim arrived on scene as soon as they could to check on us. They brought us much needed water. John quickly made repairs. Even though we had to camp it for a few days(outdoor grill is amazing) the overall experience was something we will never forget. Our hats go off to John and Kim for such a quick response to our situation.

Winter trip

The cabin was beautiful and exactly how it is listed. The owners are very pleasant and check-in process is extremely simple. Please make sure you click on the cabin offerings (laundry, gate access, roads to take). within VRBO listing -- as owner has called out a few specific things for the stay. We enjoyed the downstairs game room and spa. Boys and I explored the creek and waterfall. Super fun to explore there. Make sure you write stuff down as the cell signal is poor and internet is a tad slow when opening apps on your phone. Quick note on driving: Elk Creek Road (though somewhat paved) is pretty squirly and slick in the mornings. 4WD if you have it. There is a lot of runoff so it is damp and freezes up. We hit it a few times in dense fog and it is tricky. There were a lot of cars going to Powder Horn Mtn Estates and would either ride you down the hill/go way too fast. Just go slower than you think as a few turns are 180 degrees. Overall, a very lovely spot and cabin. We will be back

20 year anniversary

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing getaway to celebrate 20 years of marriage. River Rocks was perfect for relaxing by the creek and going out to fun attractions and adventures. The house was extremely well stocked with essentials, all we needed was some food! The river was beyond beautiful and provided hours of relaxing/reconnecting time! The host was very available, but we didn't need a thing. We are excited to think about returning next year with the kids!!

Relaxing!

My family and I enjoyed a lovely long weekend at River Rock. We had three teenagers and two dogs and there was plenty of room for all. The cabin is cozy and has everything you might need. Kitchen is fully stocked. We loved the stream and exploring the property with our dogs. They may have loved it the most since it is such a treat for them to run off leash. The hike to the waterfall was a treat too. We came up for the weekend for spring football at The Rock and it was an easy but twisty drive into Boone. Thanks for sharing your place with us John and Kim!

Heaven on Earth

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the rental. Feom the beginning the owners were VERY accommodating, very communative, and super healpful. We and our 4 furrbabies had the time of our lives. They loved the water and the waterfall and the hikes... we loved watching them free roam and just explore the forest, living their lives as they should..without a care in the world. The house is VWRY wrll sticked, bedrooms of grest size, plenty of beds to sleep in. Fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. I can not say enough about how well these owners have done to make this feel like home away from home. Highly recommended

Wonderful Property and Vacation!

This was our first time visiting the mountains of NC and with it there were a lot of firsts. We walked across a swinging bridge on Grandfather mountain, we went fishing for the first at Grandfather trout farm ( no need for Fishing license there), first time endlessly enjoying a beautiful creek. This house is in a beautiful location and we throughly enjoyed our stay. The house is well stocked and very homey. The pathway to the water falls is not to be missed. You may need a walking stick for the slightly steeper portions of the walk. We really enjoyed the Wild Craft eatery restaurant in Boone and the Peddaling Pig restaurant. We would definitely come back. Thank you for a great vacation.
