About this property
Tranquil Retreat w/ New River and Mountain Views! River Access, Hiking
Welcome to our cabin in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains. Located in the gated community of River Country Estates in Piney Creek, NC, the cabin sits in the northern part of Alleghany County and very near the Virginia border and Ashe County.
Our treehouse retreat has two large wraparound decks with multiple seating areas to enjoy the amazing views of the New River and long range views of the mountains. You just feel the stress melt away surrounded by tall trees and rhododendrons. Enjoy the sunrise or sunset with your favorite beverage and catch a glimpse of the wildlife including deer and turkeys wandering by. The cabin is perfect for a tranquil getaway with family and friends. Additional side deck provides a space to enjoy a fire in the chimenea.
The windows in this cabin bring the outside in and there are many. We love to think of them as our art because of the tremendous beauty surrounding the home. Enjoy the vaulted great room with a stone fireplace and gas logs plus comfortable seating.
The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of room for all to gather to cook a favorite meal. Coffee bar with coffee and tea are complementary. Dining area table can comfortably seat 6 and has additional seating for two at the peninsula.
Three bedrooms are located on the ground level. The large primary bedroom has a queen bed, full bath, seating area, coffee bar, access to the deck and plenty of space to put in a pack ‘n play for small children. On the other side of the hall are two comfortable bedrooms with a full jack and jill bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other a daybed. The closed in loft provides a roomy retreat with a queen bed and full bath.
Roku streaming tv’s are located in the great room and one in the ground level bedroom. Wireless internet works well throughout the cabin.
Outdoor adventures are just outside the door or a short drive. Venture down to the community access to the river for fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing or tubing. Walk or drive down for a picnic. The neighborhood provides great walking to the river and community gazebo. We are in the mountains so the hills provide great exercise but you can also access these by car if you prefer.
From the cabin, it’s a short drive to many hiking trails including Mt Jefferson, New River State Park, Doughton Park, which is off the Blue Ridge Parkway and Grayson Highlands State park in VA which is known for their wild ponies. Maybe you will see one! It’s a 5 minute drive to New River State Park-Kings access and Riverside Canoes is just across the street, available for your float down the river. You can also enjoy horseback riding, bike riding on VA Creeper trail or New River trail plus gem mining, local wineries and fishing. Plenty of activities for all.
West Jefferson is only a 20 minute drive and has plenty of shopping in the historic town including Ashe County Cheese plus grocery shopping, farmers market and restaurants. Enjoy classic car cruise-in on the third Saturday of the month April through October. Sparta is also 20 minutes away with quaint shopping and grocery. The Boone/Blowing Rock area is an hour away and offers dining, local shops plus Tanger Outlets, skiing, zip-lines, Tweetsie Railroad amusement park and of course home to Appalachian State University.
