About this property

Relaxing peaceful cabin retreat

Our cabin is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in the gated community of River Country Estates, Piney Creek NC. We named our cabin River Perch because it sits perched high atop the mountain side giving you beautiful views of the river and long range views of the mountains. You can get away from all the busyness to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the mountains. Our cabin is newly constructed , 2100 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Main level has family/living room, kitchen, 1/2 bath, bedroom with queen bed and private bath. The upper level has a loft with sitting/reading area, bedroom with queen bed and private bath. Lower level has the second family/living area, bedroom with two twin beds, full bath, utility room with washer & dryer. Cabin has new furniture & stainless steel appliances in kitchen. Main level living area has a wood burning stone fireplace. Lower living area has a gas stone fireplace. Flat screen televisions in both family rooms and lower bedroom. There are two spacious covered wrap around decks to enjoy the mountain views and the sound of the gentle flowing river. With access to the New River (second oldest river in the world) you can launch a canoe, go tubing, or just float down the beautiful scenic river. You are nearby River Camp USA and riverside canoe rentals. Other attractions nearby are winery tours, Mount Jefferson State Park, Stone Mountain State Park, and Grayson Highland State Park. To just get away for awhile you can visit attractions at these nearby towns (Sparta 15 miles, Jefferson & West Jefferson 22 miles, Boone 47 miles.)
River Perch is the perfect cabin rental for your getaway or vacation. Please make our home your mountain home away from home.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was very nice and well equipped. The location was convenient for our needs and it was in a nice neighborhood. Our favorite thing was the view of the river from the deck.

Family Get Away

We go to NC every year and have stayed in serval cabins and this by far has been the most beautiful and well maintained cabin. Very spacious, and most importantly clean. Highly recommend this cabin! The highlight for me was waking up each morning and seeing the deer grazing in the backyard.

Great Rental within Driving Distance to Grayson Highlands

The property was very clean and provided all the necessary amenities. We really enjoyed the two deck levels as well as the swinging chair. About 45 minutes from Grayson Highlands State Park, the drive wasn't too bad, especially since we spent 6-8 hours there each day.

Beautiful River View

House was beautiful and immaculate. Some people may want to be closer to amenities, but we knew that going in and the owner was totally upfront and honest, you can’t have that kind of beauty with a Walmart and a burger joint. We enjoyed a wonderful week.

Fourth of july

This is the second time we have stayed at River Perch and had an amazing time again. We love this property. Very clean and spacious. Lots of deck space to watch the new river from a lofty vantage point . Very private and easy to access. We hope to make this property an annual 4th of July tradition.

We spent Labor Day Weekend with another couple and could not have been happier. There was more than enough space, the views were stunning, and we made excellent use of the fire pit each night. We wanted for nothing all weekend, and plan to return ASAP.

Hiking family

The property and neighborhood is beautiful. The house is elevated over the river with an amazing view. The house has very comfy beds and 4 bathrooms. We enjoyed the board games. There was quite a lack of grocery stores or restaurants close by. We made sure to get supplies while we were out on our excursions. We highly recommend Grayson Highlands and biking the VA creeper trail.

Absolutely gorgeous view and a beautiful home

We only got to stay there one night as my best friend and I were riding motorcycles through the Blue Ridge Mountains and Roger and Mary graciously allowed us to do a super short term rental. The road in was narrow and curvy but easy to navigate. Once in the gated neighborhood you will see that the homes are all well maintained and the grounds are beautiful. As we arrived to the house our families had already gotten there and had our cold drinks ready for us. The house is stunning with tons of wood and a stone fireplace is the focal point of the main den. The kitchen is really nice and well appointed. Can't say a bad thing about this home and we will certainly be returning when we can spend some more time there to explore the area.

What a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed the mountain views, with all the windows and the many outside seating options. We particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, and the two different living areas. Lovely gated community but cabin is surrounded by beautiful trees and feels secluded.The home is warm and inviting and I'd love to return one day. Mary, the host, made communication a breeze.

Such a blessing!

This cabin is a beautiful retreat in the mountains! The host, Mary, was very helpful and tremendously kind leading up to and during my stay. I had to leave the cabin early due to the unexpected experience of Hurricane Helene. I really hope to book this cabin again in the future. It is a perfect mountain retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Roger and Mary Manning

Host profile image
We purchased River Perch cabin as our personal vacation home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We named our home River Perch because the cabin literally sits perched atop the mountain side offering beautiful views of the river and mountains. It is our peaceful and stress free destination to relax and unwind. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We had looked at several homes in nearby towns of the Blue Ridge Mountains and this actually was the very last property on our list.
Once we stepped on the porches and walked to the back of the cabin , we just stood and admired the beautiful views of the river and mountains. We knew this was the one for us.
We love the privacy of the cabin , but also the security of being in a gated community. We also chose this area because our travel time from home is less than 5 hrs.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is the perfect private getaway to unwind and relax and to just take in the beautiful views. It is also located in close proximity to several nearby towns and attractions for those who would like to get away for the day. There are canoe & tube rentals nearby. state parks to visit, winery tours , historic sites, quaint shops to browse in, Ashe County Cheese Factory and store in West Jefferson, farmers markets nearby, and many other attractions.
