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.

One of the best cabins we have stayed in! Very responsive and accommodating host. Enjoyed the creek and trails. Spacious and clean. Will stay again in the near future.
Cozy but spacious cabin! This was perfect for our family of 6. Our host was very responsive when needed. This home offered everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The outdoors was perfect for kids to run and play. We will definitely be back!
We loved the stream, firepit, and hot tub! The cabin was exactly as described and we had no issues. It's very remote, but that's exactly what we were looking for.
River Rock is really beautiful and peaceful. It is a perfect setup for a family to have a nice vacation. Thanks to the owner for checking in with us to be sure everything was going smoothly and also checking with us after the trip!
Great place! Plenty of amenities and things to do without leaving the property. Beautiful view and nice hiking trail to waterfall. Great communication with host! We plan to return!!
My friends and I were able to have the low key and relaxed bachelor party weekend possible thanks to this beautiful property. Would highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful getaway. John and Kim were both helpful and timely in their responses!
We liked the location because it was close to horseback riding and not too far from Boone. We enjoyed the creek and the hiking trail. We lit the bonfire a couple of nights and the kids loved that. It was comfortable sleeping for everyone. Nice get away.
We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay at River Rock. The house is cozy and the hot tub is an added bonus. Only issue was the house cleaner got our dates mixed up and showed up the morning after we checked in to clean from the previous guests. Luckily it wasn’t a mess and we just had to make up the one bed we stayed in.
Our family met in Boone to celebrate my wife's birthday. Wonderful place, great amenities and beautiful setting. Enjoyed the mountain stream, hiking in the woods, soaking in the hot tub, and relaxing in this great environment. The kitchen had everything you needed and there were plenty of recreational games/activities. Many of the spring wildflowers were blooming, especially the trilliums.
This was the perfect place for our two families to get away! The property had so much outdoor space for us to explore. We enjoyed skipping rocks in the creek and hiking up to the waterfall. The house was cozy and had lots of family games. Downstairs was the perfect hangout spot for our preteens/teen!
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!
Simply fantastic, the place is wonderful. In addition to the mountains and trees being beautiful, a wonderful stream runs through the property. The house is wonderful and the owners are polite and attentive. Clean, beautiful and organized. Score 10, congratulations!
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!
The home is spacious and just perfect! I love it when a host has spices and seasonings for cooking in the home!! The tranquility at this location is just perfect! I loved just sitting outside and listening to the creek. We hiked up to the waterfall which was not far. We loved the hot tub in the evening with a glass of wine. Plenty of room for everyone!! The downstairs area is great for kids or adults who need a really raucous game of fooze-ball! We loved our stay and would definitely come back. !
This property is all it is described to be and then some. We enjoyed every bit of the outdoors from hiking to the top of the waterfall to tubing down the creek. Each night a bonfire brought us together to reflect on the day. Very cozy home with hundreds of movies to entertain the kids before bed. Kim and John were responsive to questions and ideas. Highly recommend!
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
