Beautiful Riverside Getaway
We are happy to have opened our home back up for your enjoyment and will continue to adjust our policies as needed to assure the best experience for you, our guest. Due to a shortage of employees, from time to time we may need to remove our instant booking option so that we can guarantee availability of cleaning staff between our reservations. Thank you for your patience during the reservation process and for your continued support. We look forward to hosting you.
This beautiful 2BR/3BA home has an open floor plan and full service kitchen which makes it perfect for a couples' getaway or family fun-filled vacation. The large yet cozy great room includes the kitchen, dining area and den with stone fireplace (gas) and plenty of seating. There is a beautiful view of the river out of the large picture windows. The wrap around deck has outdoor seating and overlooks the Watauga River with its out-cropping of rocks and abundant wildlife.
Two master bedroom suites, each with queen beds and their own large private baths, sleep 4 adults comfortably. The living room also has a queen size sleeper couch.
Amenities Included are:
Linens provided
Washer/Dryer
Charcoal Grill on deck
Broadband Internet with WiFi
TVs in living room and bedrooms with cable TV services and Netflix.
For security purposes we have three exterior security cameras - one covering each entrance to the house.

About the host
Hosted by Tamara DePace
My name is Tamara DePace and I manage RiverPlace for my mother, Doris Freeze. This beautiful piece of land on the banks of the Watauga River in Valle Crucis was originally owned by my grandparents. My mother vacationed here when she was a little girl. I remember hearing stories of her and her 6 brother and sisters playing on the rocks in the river. Throughout my childhood, I recall my parents dreaming and planning the house they would one day build on the land. Twenty-five years later they built their "dream home" on the river. RiverPlace was intended to be their retirement home, much deserved after a lifetime of service to the church. My parents had spent their life serving on the mission field in Liberia, West Africa, and when stateside, my dad worked for the Lutheran Church as the director of a church camp and at the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia SC.
In 2009, after a short battle with cancer, my dad passed away, only getting to enjoy their "dream home" for a short time. Mom, not able to live on her own 4 hours away from the rest of the family, decided to allow other families to enjoy her home and hopefully make their own memories on the banks of the Watauga River.
I guess I took after my grandmother, as I now have seven children of my own. I hope one day they will look back at their childhood and reminisce about their vacations at the "mountain house". It is our hope that you and your family will also.
