About everything you would want for a weekend in Boone.

The cabin was nice. It worked well for a weekend get away. It is close enough to Boone, but still felt somewhat secluded and had a great view. The living space was a little tight with 6 adults. The hot tub was nice but had to walk around the house in the cold to get to it. Overall, pretty good for the price.

Nice escape

Tropical storm Nicole pummeled the area with rain and we experienced multiple leaks but the management team was responsive with additional towels and buckets. Communication was excellent both before and during our stay.

Overall stay was ok. Property description and photos are somewhat accurate. Outside was not not manicured and porches were filthy so we didn’t sit outside and we didn’t use the grill/hot tub so can’t comment on whether those worked. Upon anreival our door code did not work, but that was quickly resolved with a phone call to the 800-number provided with the check in instructions. Inside could use some updating; beds were hard, bathroom water pressure wasn’t great and towels provided were old and rough. Could use TVs in upstairs rooms. Kitchen had everything we needed and seems more updated that the rest of the house. The loft area was cute and where my teenage daughter spent most of her time while we were there. Driveway is steep and hard to turn into, but that isn’t uncommon for the area…definitely easier in the daytime that at night when it is pitch black lol. All in all we enjoyed our stay and feel the price wasn’t horrible…a little TLC would go a long way.

The property was beautiful, however the cleanliness of the place was not up to expectations. It looked like the housekeeper may have wiped down the countertops and the house had been vacant for a month or so. The property was beautiful but could have been much more maintained.

White Christmas

While we did enjoy our stay we were a little disappointed in the comfort of the home. The couches need replacing as well as the mattresses on the beds. The back yard was really too steep to enjoy the fire pit. We experienced a major leak on the backside of the house during a rainy/windy day and although the maintenance help did arrive there really wasn't anything that could be done while we were there. The fireplace was wonderful and the views were fantastic. With a little updating, we would consider staying there again.

Perfect location

Lots of steps for entry. Ramp area a bit overgrown. Turn out of driveway a bit challenging to see and driveway was very steep. Arrived to find door code did not work, a quick call got a new code. We were already in as another door was open. Kitchen wonderful. Bed was comfortable and plenty of covers available. There were no directions for TV in living room. Bedroom TV did not seem to work . The bathroom had everything we needed. Lightning a bit harsh. Hot tub wonderful with great views. We wanted to open all windows as it was absolutely picture perfect weather, many did not open. Would stay there again as the neighborhood is simply the best. Great walking area.

Great view, beds comfy, prompt response from managing agency

The cabin has a ramp for disable persons, however, it is covered with a thick coat of mildew which when wet is very slippery and a hazard to walk on. The cabin was not cleaned well by the cleaning person and there were crackers in between the cushions of the sofas. Firewood was very limited and the agency was prompt to respond sending someone to provide wood. Not completely seasoned and thus hard to burn. Ask if they have provided a tarp to cover the wood, otherwise it will get wet and you will not be able to light. The windows on the loft provide a magnificent view which wa obliterated by the lack of cleaning. Beds were comfortable and they have auxiliary heaters in the event the HAC is not adequate. Kitchen well stocked with dinnerware. Skillets were damaged from previous guests, it appears they used them in the firepit or the BBQ. These issues were forwarded to agency and I suspect they will correct these deficiencies. We tried to clean up, however, broom handles were broken and I had to bend over. Never used the hot tub because it is on the lower level and it is far from the entrance of the cabin. We never used it.

Peaceful family getaway

What a great place! We enjoyed our stay at New River Retreat! We went for Memorial Day weekend. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet. The house had everything my family of four needed. Beautiful views, clean, comfortable and really great amenities. The kitchen even had everything you needed to cook, and the grill was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Just a few suggestions

We loved our stay except for a few things! The mattress on the loft pull-out bed is broken and couldn't be used. The loveseat is fine but the couch was like sitting on a water bed! TV instructions would be helpful!

Great location needs TLC

When we arrived the property wasn’t as clean as we would have liked. There were beer bottles and trash in the driveway as well as food remains in the sink from previous guests. Half of the stovetop didn’t work. The location is great beautiful views. The house is in need of updates but does the trick for a short trip.

A great getaway!!

My husband and I have been wanting a relaxing getaway all year but with Covid it was nearly impossible. The house was very clean, had all the supplies, and the view was amazing! Everything was great EXCEPT the mattresses. I read a review from 2017 where someone mentioned this but figured they had been replaced since then. They were clean just too soft for our liking. Anyway, I would probably stay here again as it was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed it very much!

This property was beautiful views were outstanding private and quiet! House was clean spacious and comfortable. Hot tube was very relaxing! The slow to the fire pit was extremely steep and Unenjoyable because of the steepness of the hill. But I would recommend this cabin for anyone visiting the Boone area.

Adequate

The property was difficult to find as the address was not visable at all. axzqThe out door stairs were steep and uneven, tho the ramp was helpful. Getting into and out of the driveway which was steep was a challenge.The cabin was clean and well equipped. The bathtubs were very slippery.
