A River Mist Secluded on 6 acres of the Watauga River hot tub pet friendly
This spectacular 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sits on 6 secluded, wooded acres on the Watauga River, affording complete privacy and incredible river views from almost every room in the house!
On the main level are the dining area and main living space with a large flat screen TV, stereo and a stone, gas-log fireplace. Adjacent to the living area you'll find a fully-equipped kitchen and breakfast nook.
The spacious master suite on the main floor features a king bed, etched glass windows overlooking the river, and a beautiful private bathroom featuring a large tub as well as a separate shower with a rainhead. Just off the bedroom is a sunroom and access to the covered parking bay.
Climb the wide spiral stairs to the upper level, which contains the loft area with a desk housing the computer workstation with high speed internet and printer, two full-sized futons, and a full bath with a shower. Adjacent to the loft is another beautiful king suite with a private full bathroom with bidet. Off of the loft there is a third bedroom with twin over twin trundle bed connected to the loft with a barn door.
Beside the upstairs king suite is the glass-enclosed game room/sitting room, featuring a foosball table, Xbox360, TV, and comfortable chairs, perfect for entertaining the time away on a rainy day. From the game room you can walk out onto a small upper deck with a cafe table and chairs.
On the lower level deck, you'll find a table with four chairs for al fresco dining, as well as the large stone outdoor firepit on the deck, and the wonderful hot tub. Listen to the river rush by as you enjoy an evening by the fire or soaking in the hot tub. Newly built in 2013 is a flight of 90 stairs leading down to the river, where you can enjoy the sights, sounds, and feel of the beautiful Watauga River up close.
A River Mist is located just 20 to 25 minutes from Boone shopping and dining and convenient to every High Country attraction, yet offers a snug feeling of privacy if you need to get away from it all. The cabin is also only 20 minutes from beautiful Watauga Lake that has gorgeous parks, pontoon rentals and fishing.
You'll love coming home to A River Mist!

We visited River Mist with our 2 older kids. Great house and great spot! Took a minute to figure out the heat and the fireplace but after that we were set. Fire, hot tub, games, and a fully stocked kitchen that made it easy to make a few meals. We’ll definitely be back!
We had a great time, the house was very well equipped and had a well stocked kitchen. We loved our time there and in particular enjoyed the Large wall mounted Scrabble board.My advice... book it!
We came in late due to traffic and this was not a problem. Easy access and having everything ready was a stress reliever. Our family (to include our sweet pup) enjoyed this property very much. The sight lines and sounds from the river, to the multiple options on the surrounding deck was amazing. We had a wonderful time.
We had a great time staying at A River's Mist.
The cabin is cozy. It is well decorated, stocked with items you may need and even some that are perks that are unexpected. The property is on the river and it was wonderful to hear the water rush over the rapids. Beautiful. A large deck to hangout and enjoy that view. Gas fireplace inside and a fire pit outside which we enjoyed both. We loved the large wall Scrabble game and had foosball competitions. We went hiking about 25 minutes away and had dinner both nights in Boone about 20-25 minutes away. We will certainly be returning to A River's Mist for another stay!
