This was our third time back at Riverplace and we will continue to return because it’s the perfect spot for us. Accommodations are ideal for a family looking to enjoy the outdoors in the backyard as well as traveling to neighboring towns. Valle Crucis has so much to offer, but Riverplace is just 15 minutes to Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. Thank you Tamara for being a great host!

Beautiful home, lovely interior, kitchen well equipped.
Location on the bank of a river is great, but also right on a busy highway. The road noise was prevalent, but not oppressive. At night, the headlights from passing cars were distracting, especially in one bedroom.

RiverPlace was everything I wanted and more. The location is super convenient, the property is beautiful and cozy, and the process was so easy. I hope I can come back!

We've stayed here two years and hope to come back next year.
Sitting on the deck and listening to the river - doesn't get any better.

When they say "on the river," they really meant "on the river!" It's scenic location is second to none. Your morning coffee routine will never be the same! The house was well stocked with anything you need, but a general store is just a hop skip and a jump down the road for your convenience. There are easy to follow instructions posted throughout the house for locks, remotes, lights, A/C, etc.
If you are the adventurous type (not me really) please be careful as the terrain is very slick - it's the mountains people :) IF there is something to critique, the exterior of the home really needs a complete refresh starting with a good powerwashing on the decks.
The homeowner was responsive and kind and appreciated feedback. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

Hearing the river with the rapids at night was a lovely experience! It is a nice property and convenient compared to some of the places we rented in this location! Driveway is a bit tricky. The Property manager was very pleasant and helpful! The kitchen was very guest friendly and basic amenities were there! I would rent this home again!

The house was the perfect size. We loved the view and sound of the river in the backyard.

Location was great. Right on the river with plenty of outdoor spaces to sit & enjoy. Interior was clean & decorated beautifully. Gas logs were nice as we arrived to winter temperatures. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need & all the pots & pans were in great condition, I mentioned this because we have stayed places that the frying pans were so wore that they really needed to be thrown out. We definitely hope to stay again & for longer

Family had a great stay. Location close to very good NC trout fishing with easy access both at the home and at the Valle Crucis Community Park.
Mast general store right there as well. Close to Boone proper.
House had great decks to enjoy watching the Watauga River.
Nice kitchen and bedrooms with comfortable beds. Living room had good couches and recliners.
Greet place to stay for a family that likes outdoors though likes to home body as well.

Lovely home for my family of 4. We stayed for 7 nights and even brought our dog. Place was clean and same as listing. We saw the river go from empty to basically flooding and it was magical. The master room bed is extremely high which was fine for me but a little hard for my husband. There are two rooms so when it says sleeps 6, that means two people on pull out couch. It is a big space and worked great for us. About 20-25 minutes from both Sugar and Beech Mountains which is why we traveled there. Short drive to Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing rock. So much to do. Would stay again. Thanks!

We were looking forward to our stay at this property because of its location on the Watauga River. We have driven by this property hundreds of times because we usually stay in Vilas. The interior was clean and comfortable, but very outdated and could use some upgrades. Where we were disappointed was with the exterior. This home is on a beautiful property, but it has not been maintained. We went there for the River, but it was very difficult to get to it because the property is so overgrown. The exterior of the house was extremely dirty. We had to clean the decks and furniture before we could even use them because of all the spider webs and spiders. Once we did that we were able to enjoy sitting outside and listening to the River. This property has the potential to be a beautiful getaway, but needs a lot of TLC.

The house is very welcoming and cozy. You can hear the river from inside the house, it’s very relaxing. The driveway is a bit steep, so if it’s muddy you need a running start! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, the TV has all the streaming platforms, and the deck is great for relaxing with a drink or coffee. The propane fireplace wasn’t working, and the owner was very responsive about sending someone out. We declined, to see if we could light it, but it wouldn’t light. It was full of propane, the pilot light was lit, but it apparently needs service. Other than that, the road was a little noisy, but it was a great place to stay and we would definitely go back. We went horseback riding, hiking, visited Grandfather Mountain, and did wine tasting. Lovely home.

We love this roomy home and have stayed several times. Great location, convenient to everything, beautifully situated on the river and well appointed. We’ll be back.

You have a beautiful property. It needs some work on the woods and area around it, hard to get down to river so much undergrowth. Ice maker did not work and gas logs did not light. It was cool so we used the heat. You have a huge dead tree on right of deck that is in danger of falling onto the house.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Great proximity to town but had the feel of really getting away. The river view from the deck is spectacular and relaxing. The home is very warm and inviting. We hope to come back soon!

We had a wonderful weekend in the mountains! The house was very clean, close to restaurants and grocery stores and had all of the amenities needed. We really enjoyed being on the river as well. I would highly recommend.

The house was gorgeous and easy to find (we are familiar with the area, so that helped). The only issue was the driveway. It wasn't snowing but it had rained recently so we had some issues pulling up the drive! After that we just left our vehicle parked at the top of the driveway and that was no problem :) The descriptions and the pictures really don't do this property justice. We wished we could've stayed longer!

Our family has stayed at this same location 2 years in a row. It’s very easy to find and has everything we needed on the inside to entertain local family with an early Thanksgiving meal. The kids enjoyed the river and we all enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit. We’ll be back!

The house is dated but that made it more fun. Linens & towels were excellent and I appreciated being able to bring my fur baby.

We had a great time at the house. My kids loved fishing right in the backyard all week and they even learned chess and played on the board in the main room almost every night.
4.0 / 5.0
Great house and river. Beyond that... with all the BS fees included this property is 300.00 per night. To me that is full retail price. At one time this was a show place. I'm assuming with the owner who lived there for approximately 15 years. By looks of the despair the outside is in when the new owners got this property two years ago is when the outside maintenance completely stopped. You can barely tell where the terraced flower beds were. There are small trees growing out of the gutters. The trees are becoming over grown to the point of obstructing the view of the river. Did I mentioned that this is just another property where the furniture and accessories dont match and are very old and out dated. If this is in a corporation , as a income producing asset should be , it is a write off to do maintenance and replace old outdated furniture. This will also get you better reviews which leads to more first time customers and more repeat customers.

Our experience was great! The homeowner provided quick responses all through the booking process. The house was clean and it looked just like the pictures. Peaceful setting right beside the river. Very relaxing!

We loved our recent stay for a long weekend. House had everything-including a Keurig! The rooms were large and had a wonderful view of the river. We enjoyed seeing the deer play in the river each morning. We will definitely be back

Provided all the comforts of home while we were in town for a wedding. The sound of the rushing water of the river was certainly a soothing touch.

Lovely home with all the comforts of home. Great beds and linens and plush towels! The soothing sounds of the river can be enjoyed from the decks or inside the house. Dealing with Tamara was a pleasure. She was very helpful and did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable! We definitely plan to return!

Beautiful home on Watauga river
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home, especially having the Watauga river in our backyard. We fished, tubed/floated, zip lined Hawks nest (Dillion & Graham best guides). Over Yonder restaurant has excellent food a a very short drive from house. Great visit and plan to return!

Perfect getaway
Ideal setting for a peaceful break. Spacious house with an open floorplan that makes the place inviting and still cozy. The gas fireplace cranks out good heat. One small deck off the living room is great for morning coffee and sunshine. The larger deck is perfect for afternoons of grilling and sipping beer. Easy access to great hikes or to wander around down in Boone. The river sounds are soothing.
We brought our dog who loved playing in the river. That said, if you are planning to bring your doggo, there's only a small grass area around the fire pit and near the lower part of the house but no real place to take a dog on a real walk because the road next to the property is pretty busy and cars go fast by the driveway.
One tip (not included in the materials we read) is that the property line basically ends at the end of the weathered shack and at the line of stumps at the end of the driveway. The property line is otherwise not clearly marked. We wandered beyond that point, along the riverbank, and met the neighbors - who were very nice about telling us we were on their property. :)
