About this property

'Got Rocks' 1 acre on Watauga River, Gazebo, Flat yard, Close to Golf Courses

Got Rocks? We sure do.. This river property is a great place for a family vacation, a quiet escape, a ski trip in the winter, or some river fun in the summer. A short drive off Highway 105, this property is a central location to all the High County has to offer. Nestled at the foot of the Grandfather Mountain, you are minutes away from the profile, but also close to larger areas like Boone and Banner Elk.

This home has high speed internet and streaming TV, however in the summer as you may want to sit outside on the back deck or gazebo swing and enjoy the soothing waters of the Watauga River. Flat land is at a premium in the mountains, and this property has an acre of flat land and the yard is a great place to bring the kids to play or fish along the river. A fire pit at the edge of the yard is also available for your use, with a small creek going by that feeds into the Watauga River.

The home has been recently renovated and has been expanded to include generous decking and a sunroom. The kitchen is adjacent to the open concept family living and dining room areas. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Master Bedroom has fantastic views of the river and has its own private bathroom.

You will enjoy this river retreat. This home is perfect for families, couples or a group of friends getting away for the weekend. There is lots to do from hiking and shopping in the summer to skiing in the winter. This location is a short 5 minute driver from Sugar Mountain Ski resort. Why stay in a small hotel room when you can enjoy the beauty of the mountains from your back deck?

**Note, this VRBO is not in Echota, if it comes up in the search that way, it is the closest listing to Boone we could select

**Property may only be available to rent with a 3-4 minimum night stay around holidays. Please inquire about dates as we will try our best to accommodate.

Dog friendly and centrally located

The house was perfect for us — an excellent location, very clean, and beautifully maintained. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were high quality. The property itself is gorgeous, and being able to bring our three dogs was a major reason we chose it and would love to return.The only downside was the road noise. Early Friday morning, we heard trucks, likely due to ongoing construction after the recent storm, and there was regular traffic noise throughout the weekend. While understandable, it does take away from the serene, quiet atmosphere you might expect. That would be the only reason I might hesitate to book again. The bathrooms are clean but could use some touch up maintenance.

Banner Elk Nightmare!!!

The place was very clean. Somewhat small. Oven door was broke. We had major difficulty getting in and out. The drive way was very flood damaged and we were not made aware of it. My granddaughter tore her oil pan completely loose, had to have her car towed and it was declared totaled. We received no assistance from the owners.

Perfect!

We really enjoyed the home! Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. We booked thinking we’d bring our dogs but ended up not. They would have loved the property. Quite cold while we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the outside areas, but would have loved to sit out back and listen to the creek!

Loved this little gem!

We were all settled in (after a couple hiccups) and ready to enjoy our week when Helene high jacked our getaway. We were watching the river rise from the windows and knew the worst was yet to come, so we made the decision to cut our stay short. Turns out, this was the best decision in terms of being able to get back home safely. Would love to go back again. The host for this property was amazing and easy to communicate with on our little hiccups.

Girls HS reunion

We had a great time socializing by the incredible babbling creek. Lots of space and nice property. The only thing is the wood rockers in the gazebo smelled really bad from mold and mildew. We moved them out of the gazebo.

Beautiful Property

The house is very comfortable and well stocked. The setting is amazing. It is beautifully landscaped and the sound of the river in front and from the Gazebo in back is the most relaxing, peaceful place I’ve ever felt in our beautiful North Carolina mountains. We have already booked it for the fall.

Great house, Beautiful yard, Friendly neighbors

This is a great house with the loveliest yard. It was neat and clean and had everything we needed. I fell asleep to the creek rushing outside the bedroom window. (It rained for the two days we were there.) I encountered one neighbor while walking my dog and he was friendly as could be. It’s 10 minutes to Banner Elk and 15 to Boone. Bring a hairdryer as I was unable to locate one in the house. Also this house is below grade of Road 105. If you are a light sleeper, the occasional nighttime truck may wake you.

Lovely home

It was a great gathering place for our adult children to join us for a family vacation. The location is convenient to many activities. The house was clean and well-stocked with basics. The river wraps around 3 sides of the property. We enjoyed the soothing sounds of the river and relaxed around the fire pit. We look forward to returning for another visit!

Picture Perfect!

This property is amazing! As soon as I opened my car door, I could hear the river and was in love. The house is as described. All we did was bring our groceries because the kitchen had what we needed. But, I would suggest you check and purchase what you need if you plan anything special menus. Our dogs enjoyed the river and being outside. We bought 15' tie outs that we used to hang out by the fire pit where we did a hot dog roast and marshmallows. The house is conveniently located to Boone and Banner Elk. Lots to do around the area. The area is very safe with good lights around the property at night. We absolutely loved this place and will be back as soon as we can.

Wonderful and relaxing spring break

The house was perfect for our family of 4 and our pups. Check-in was easy, home was clean and comfortable and equipped with the standard kitchen items needed to cook a few meals at the home as well as paper products/dish soap/etc. The river bubbling through the property was so relaxing from the porch. We can’t wait to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Wesley Crum

Host profile image
Wesley & Suzanne Crum work and own the local golf and ladies apparel store in downtown Foscoe next to the Citgo gas and deli station. Their store is called Club Shop Peanuts and Golf, and is located only a few minutes from this rental.

Why they chose this property

We acquired this property in 2016 because of its excellent location and beautiful flat yard. The home itself was in need of a renovation, and with our remodel we believe you will find it the perfect mountain vacation place. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
