About this cabin rental

** Update on Helene hurricane, River Rock cabin is not damaged and operational **

River Rock is a three bedroom, two bath cabin located in a private park-like setting on 11 beautiful acres of grassy meadows, waterfalls, and tranquil trout stream.
If you are looking for a secluded and private streamside retreat, you will not find a better location anywhere. Elk Creek, which is rated as one of the cleanest in all of North Carolina; runs right in front of this cabin. The sounds of the rushing stream can be heard throughout the property and the decks on River Rock overlook the stream and a gorgeous grassy meadow where deer and other wildlife frequently roam.
This mountain retreat offers privacy seclusion with easy access, but yet is convenient to area attractions as it is only 10 minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway, 10 minutes to horseback riding at Leatherwood stables, 20 minutes to downtown Boone (great for ASU football weekends), 30 minutes to Blowing Rock (excellent dining and shopping) and 30-45 minutes to 4 different ski areas.
River Rock offers rustic comfort with a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, WIFI, satellite TV, washer & dryer, propane gas and electric heaters, and all the bed linens and towels to make your stay comfortable. There is also a gorgeous stone (river rock) fireplace in the living room that creates a very warm and cozy atmosphere. The cabin has its very own fire ring (great for family marshmallow roasts-please do not use inside fireplace:), as well as access to hiking trails which lead to a beautiful 20 ft waterfall. There is also a picnic table on the property where you can sit and relax to the sounds of the stream, or have lunch in the middle of the mountains!
The privacy of this property makes it ideal for anything from a quiet honeymoon or romantic weekend to a memorable family vacation.

The hosts were right on time with all the information for getting in and out of the cabin no hiccups anywhere. It is an amazing property like a slice of heaven on Earth I seriously did not want to leave. The waterfall was amazing and we saw an owl on our way to and from the waterfall it was amazing

10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This was an absolutely wonderful little get-a-way for our family of 7. The kids LOVED the creek, the swing, the firepit for some smores and the hike to the waterfall. We all enjoyed the hot tub and corn hole and Foosball. The rooms were all clean and cozy with plenty of extra bedding, towels etc. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the comfy living room furniture/couch. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies/appliances/utensils and the grill was a major bonus! This is the perfect spot if you want a place to escape. We enjoyed a quick trip to Blowing Rock and would love to check out the few other attractions in Boone next stay! Communication with John was great, he made sure we were settled and had everything we needed. 10/10 recommend!
