Mike we were happy to host your family and hope you will return in the future when warmer and make use of the tubes and kayaks.....that saves alot of money
the outfitters charge alot of $$
Again thanks
The house was perfect for a birthday weekend away, lots of memories made! Fishing, cooking, playing games, we even went to the Todd Mercantile store to get some local souvenirs. Hoping to rent again in the warm weather so we could enjoy the river a little more with tubing and kayaking.

WE LOVE IT 💕 Everything was PERFECT!! Beautiful, Cozy cabin. Had everything to make us feel at home. It was even decorated for Christmas! The location is perfectly situated close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and West Jefferson The owners are thoughtful and caring. We knew if we had questions, we could reach out to them. This was one of our favorite trips this year. I definitely recommend a stay here when visiting the NC Mountains.
We traveled from Chicago together spend thanksgiving with some great friends from Raleigh. It was our first stay in the mountains and it was wonderful. Thank you for a safe clean home to stay in.

We had a great time. Peaceful setting. Loved going down to the creek. Cabin was very clean. The full kitchen was great and had everything you needed except the food. Bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and would go again.
We enjoyed our second stay at the cabin. Everything was as advertised or better. The kayaks and tubes were a big hit with everyone, we made a couple of trips down the New River taking in the scenery and enjoying the beautiful weather. Looking forward to staying again in the future.
Thanks Cheryl
We had a wonderful time at "Our Last Nickel". It was such a beautiful and clean home. We thoroughly enjoyed the use of the tubes and bicycles. The cooler temperatures made for a very pleasant summer stay. We enjoyed time relaxing on the porch and on the swings by the river. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. We will definitely be returning here as soon as we can!

thank you so much!!! we have TRIED to cover ever area possible we use to rent ourselves and had to DRAG LINENS paper goods etc and thought it would be nice for people to not have too......
Cabin was nice and had extras like tubes, kayaks, and bikes. Would recommend a gas grill in lieu of asking for donations for charcoal and finishing the river access for easier entry to river activities. Enjoyed our time at the cabin and would recommend it to other renters.

thanks for reviews......would of done gas but easier to keep charcoal there and igniter than gas cylinders....
The river front was scheduled to be finished the first of April but due to COVID and weather the company c ould not do it
BUT...they are there NOW finishing it and will be much better......
Again thanks and hope you will consider returning
The house was great. Very clean and as described it has everything you need except food. The fire pit was used even in the 12+ inches of snow. There was a great spot two lots down, in the community lot, to go sledding with the kids. Gas fireplace was great and quickly warms the house up. Everyone had a great time and we will certainly look to book again next winter.
First of all, every email we sent to the property manager was answered super quickly. She was very responsive and very helpful. We were surprised at how new the cabin felt. Everything was very clean and very new. We definitely enjoyed how much space we had in the back yard. The kitchen had everything we needed from plates to pots/pans to silverware. The bedrooms were all very comfortable. Overall we had an amazing time at the cabin and would definitely stay again. Thanks!
My wife and I had a great few days at the cabin with 4 grandkids. Cheryl was a fantastic host. We had a few questions when we got there and she answered right away. Some of the river tubes were not holding air well and she had new tubes delivered the next day. Could not ask for any better service. The location was lots of fun for the 5, 7, 9 and 11 year old. They had a blast in the river, wading up stream and downstream. They even caught a few fish with a hand line they found and earth worms. We enjoyed a kayak paddle down from Todd as well. Great location if you are looking for a place that is quite and a little out of the way but not to far from town if you need those things you forgot. We would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed a wonderful week at this beautiful home on the New River! Cheryl was an excellent host who has thought of everything - there were even Easter baskets waiting for our boys when we arrived! The home is very clean and has everything you need. We really enjoyed using the bikes to ride around, kayaking and fires by the river. We can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful property, well stocked, and loved the size of the lot. The fire pit was a great touch as we looked at the stars. Will definitely stay here again!

THANK YOU FOR STAYING WITH US...SUCH GREAT GUEST
LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING OUR CABIN WITH YOU AGAIN
Adorable home, very clean, comfortable, has everything you need. Fire pit by the river is awesome. We stayed in Oct so there was no "traffic" on the river.
For the past 5 years we have been renting 3 bedroom properties in this area on the New River. This property outshines them all! The location is perfect for tubing and kayaking on the river. It has a perfect floor plan for giving a family or group of three couples space and privacy. The long covered deck faces the river and has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy the view. There is a great fire pit with swinging benches to enjoy an evening under the stars. We appreciated the comfortable beds, a kitchen supplied with plenty fresh pots, pans, etc... We brought our own bikes and tubes, but they did have very nice bikes of all sizes to use, and plenty of nice tubes to use. We did enjoy using 2 of the 4 kayaks that they offered. We look forward to returning next summer!

Thank you Timothy for the review......Greatly appreciated.....
We rented many cabins in the VA MTS b4 deciding to build our own and told my husband from the beginning i wanted it furnished so people could come stay on vacation and feel like home.....and not have to bring eveyting with you....when we rented we had to take all the linens/towels/paper goods/ tubes jackets everything except the pots and pans...even had to take our knives because there were none there good for nothing....
REALLY GLAD you enjoyed your stay
****SECRET**** the riverbank is having alot of work done today so it will be much easier to access the river/ steps have been put in and leveled off.....dont wait too long to book for next year ...people already inquiring...hope you took a some cards when you left and spread the word
Thanks again and look forward to hosting you again
We have rented many houses in this area and this is one we definitely hope to rent again. The house is new and clean with nice furniture. We had 2 families and there was plenty of space. The kids loved the huge yard and playing in the river. The adults loved using the tubes and kayaks to float down the river. We all enjoyed smores at the fire pit and catching lightning bugs. It was a memorable week in one of our favorite places to visit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Our 2nd time at this beautiful cabin! Would like to stay again soon but longer hopefully! Such a quiet and friendly neighborhood. It was a perfect getaway. The cabin is so clean and has every ounce need.
