Weekend Retreat

Overall we had a wonderful stay. Beautiful view, quiet, with comfortable beds! Two items could improve future stays. 1) The property was clean with the exception of: dusty countertop by the microwave, popcorn on the kitchen floor and and tortilla chips crumbs by the bunk beds. 2) We are seniors and we would recommend a bathmat and/or another hand rail in the tub as the tub floor was slightly slippery.

Beautiful, clean, and quiet cabin with gorgeous views and plenty of space. Only downside was the small tv because my boyfriend has one eye but we improvised and used our laptop to watch tv so it worked out. Other than that the stay was amazing and would love to stay there again in the future.

The perfect place for our family!

We spent Easter weekend in Boone and wanted to be close to good hiking and downtown Boone. This house was perfect for our family of 5. It was clean, well-stocked, and the television and WiFi worked great! This will be our go-to stay when we return to Boone.

Mountain trip

The house was very nice and clean, had ample parking, and a little off the beaten path which was nice. Comfortable beds and furniture, and a nice dog next door! A warning of “no cell service” would’ve been nice, as I didn’t remember the door code when I got there and had to drive back into town to get cell service to look on the Vrbo app.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

We are a family of 5 and when my husband retires from the Marine Corps in 4 years, we wanted a small piece of heaven in the mountains of North Carolina. We love using it as a vacation home and sharing its cozy charm and peacefulness with visitors.

Why they chose this property

Rich Mountain Cabin was the perfect choice for us because it's less than 20 minutes from the amenities that downtown Boone has to offer-great restaurants, games at Appalachian State, greenway trails, indoor aquatic center, and playgrounds, but it feels worlds away from the quick pace of today's life. Besides the occasional car driving by on the gravel road, the only thing you can hear from the porch is the water flowing in the river down the hill and the birds chirping. We are close to some of our favorite hikes at Moses Cone and along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Elk Knob State Park is 5 minutes up the mountain. We also enjoy fishing and tubing down the New River. The fact that is backs up to Elk Knob Game Land means it will continue to be pristine and quiet.
