Property details

A River Mist Walk is a wonderful single-bedroom cabin and the second in the collection of amazing River Mist homes. The owners of A River Mist Walk have a dream to create a collection of luxury vacation cabin rentals that feature quiet and private settings spread out over more than 6 acres of wilderness-like terrain with spectacular views and easy access to the Watauga River which is one of the most picturesque and pristine rivers in North Carolina. They began with A River Mist cabin which quickly became one of the most popular 2-bedroom cabin rentals in the area. A River Mist Walk is a wonderful single-bedroom cabin and the second in the collection of amazing River Mist homes. This luxury cabin is strategically positioned near the highest elevation of their property and offers mountain views beyond a beautiful pond and stream that flow into the river. The Watauga River rapids can be heard from this property as well, and access to this beautiful river is just a short walk away. Enter the main level of this spacious luxury cabin from the parking area up just 5 steps across the wraparound covered and open decks through one of four convenient doors. The front door opens into the spacious great Room which features a 26-foot high cathedral ceiling and oak flooring which is also throughout the home. On the north side is the living area with a beautiful stacked-stone gas-log fireplace, leather sofas and recliner, 60-inch Satellite HDTV with sound bar and DVD player, and a beautiful exotic hand-woven rug.

Attached to the deck is a platform containing the sunken hot tub and in the yard is a custom stone firepit. Stroll down the quiet, private street just a few hundred feet to the rushing Watauga River and enjoy a park created just for guests at this cabin.

Just what we needed to get out of the city for a few days. The property is very well maintained and a well-stocked kitchen made prepping a quiet Thanksgiving dinner a breeze.

Very good experience at A River Mist Walk. This cabin was exceptionally clean. Can't say enough about the heated floors in the bathrooms as well as showers with no doors. Very large tub as well if you wanted to enjoy that experience. One suggestion would be to find another home for the pool table upstairs and replace it with a nice bed versus the current sleeper sofa. King bed was very comfortable in the master bedroom and the walk in closets in both sleeping areas was a plus. The expansive downstairs living room and kitchen was very nice. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware, cutlery etc. Hot tub was nice but definitely needs a new cover. Nice walk around porch with plenty of doors to the outside. Nice fire pit to use as well as the outside gas grill. This cabin also has a stand by generator fueled by natural gas which I assume works. While there were other houses kind of close it was still mostly private especially with the leaves on the trees. Close enough to the river to even hear it. Only about a 25 minute drive to downtown Boone. Google maps took us straight to the Cabin. A relaxing vacation starts with a nice home away from home and this cabin fits the bill.
