Great Mountain Vacation
By Thomas On 09/29/2020
Our family loved this house. It had everything we needed. It was clean and ready for us when we arrived right at 4. Location and views were outstanding. Short walk down to good fishing in the river. Short drive to Valle Crucis and a little farther to Grandfather Mountain trails. Make sure you bring firewood because you will definitely want to use the outdoor fireplace on the back deck. I'm sure we will be back.

5 Stars
By Jennifer On 09/21/2020
The house and location was amazing, super private and in a gated community of 7 or less homes. The view of the cow pasture in the back was one of our favorite things to watch while drinking our coffee. The peach tree was full of peaches off the back, we were lucky to be able to reach 2 that were ripe. what an awesome treat! Plus there was a little bunny that came out in the morning and the evening that my son loved watching! The ping pong table and foosball proved to be helpful when we had a full day of rain, along with the hot tub, we spent a lot of time in the hot tub! Walking down to the river was also a fun activity we enjoyed! Great place, and not far from Boone. We also hiked Crab Orchard Falls and the waterfall at the end was beautiful. Great trip and we could def come back to this home again!

Beautiful Views And Wonderful House
By Danielle On 03/03/2020
We had a great stay! The house was beautiful and the pictures were accurate. We even saw a little bit of snow and made use of the fireplace our entire stay! It was a 30 minute drive to Hawks Nest and very close to the Mast General Store and Candy Barrel. We absolutely loved and hope to make this a new yearly tradition!

AMAZING
By Rebecca On 11/19/2019
River Mill Lodge was amazing!! Beautiful views and a beautiful house!! This house has everything you could possibly need. It has a very well stocked kitchen. We usually stay in a different area each year for our mountian trip, but we've decided that next year we will return to River Mill Lodge!

Love River Mill Lodge
By Teresa On 05/04/2018
We absolutely love BRVC, and River Mill Lodge. I believe I spoke with "Moment", who called to offer us an early check in. Such attention to detail and hospitality.

Our Most Favorite Home
By Lindy On 11/03/2017
Over the last few years our family has fallen in love with the NC mountains. We are from Durham and try to get out there as often as we can. We've stayed in multiple towns and multiple homes and River Mill lodge has become our most favorite spot. If the owners ever consider putting the home on the market, we would love to be contacted. It is truly a special spot.

The Cabin Is Beautiful
By Anita On 10/23/2017
We had a wonderful stay at River Mill Lodge - the cabin was beautiful, clean and wonderfully equipped with everything we needed and then some! Would definitely return!

STUNNING Luxury Log House
By Belttari Family On 04/22/2016
SPOTLESS place... and SPECTACULAR river, farm and mountain views from the huge back porch with fireplace! We just stayed five days in River Mill cabin and it could not have been better. (I am picky, too!) House had everything, the property was absolutely lovely, top quality everything, well-cared for, and soooo relaxing. You feel like you're disconnected from everything yet you're ten minutes from restaurants and shopping. PLUS...my husband said he'd never caught so many trout in his life! Thanks a million to the owners and caretakers. We WILL BE BACK for fall color!

Thankful
By The Wentz Family On 12/10/2015
Every year we (my family of 5) meet my parents around Boone, Banner Elk for Thanksgiving. This is the Best house we have rented! Its location and details are wonderful! I think our favorite part was the fireplace, it really added warmth to our stay. Thank you for building such a great lodge. I will definitely consider this home for the years to come.

Won't Forget This Place!

Didn't Want To Leave
By Chuck On 11/16/2015
We wanted a quiet get away for our 19th anniversary and boy did we get it! This was the most peaceful, beautiful place we've ever been. Everything about this home was wonderful. We were here for the first snow and it was breathtaking. Sad to leave !

Great For The Whole Family
By Futcher Family On 10/21/2015
Thank you for opening your home to us! My family and I take 1 week every fall and come to the mountain as a "kick off" to the cooler weather and holiday season. My children (ages 2&5) loved the bunk beds and the children's books they found in the cabinet. The cabin was the perfect backdrop to our week and a beautiful fire was the perfect ending to every day. From pumpkin picking to the apple orchard, it was a great week had by all. Thank you again and we wish you a happy holiday season.

Wonderful Time
By The Long Family On 02/19/2015
My family and I stayed at Rivermill Lodge for our first winter vacation in the mountains. Coming from south Florida we were concerned about the safety of driving to the cabin, but we had no problems at all. The cabin was absolutely amazing, perfectly cleaned, and visually stunning. We had planned to spend time at the ski resorts but no one wanted to leave! We loved the location of the home, right near the river, with such a lovely view. Our family had a wonderful experience in NC, and plan to return:) Thank you
