About this house rental
Riverhouse at Meadow Landing is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath and 2 half-bath cabin located on the South Fork of the New River in Todd. It's very convenient to Boone and West Jefferson (20-minute drive) and has easy access year round. The location is on the east side of the High Country (10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway) so from Charlotte and Raleigh and points east you don't have to fight town traffic to get here once you get to the top of the mountain.
So, here's what you'll find when you walk in the door: foyer opens to the big open kitchen that is fully equipped and has lots of counter space and eat-in bar with two stools. You've got an open floor plan to the living area with two pull-out couches, recliner and additional seating. Living room has a flatscreen satellite TV mounted above the gas-log fireplace and a big bank of windows looking out over the river and mountains beyond. There's also a dining area with table and seating for six. Off the living room area, there's a half-bath/laundry area combo. You also have the first bedroom (king bed) and second bedroom (full size bed) which share a Jack and Jill bath that is located between them.
Stairs from the living area will take you to the lower level where you will find a second, smaller kitchen, sitting area with card table and futon, full bath, a second half-bath and an oversized third bedroom (1 full bed and two twin beds).
The property has DSL Wi-Fi internet so you can surf or grab your emails and a collection of board games stowed in the second upstairs bedroom and the downstairs sitting area for rainy days or late evenings. A second TV with DVD player is also in the downstairs sitting area.
Now, for the outside. There's a small covered porch at the main entrance and off the river side of the cabin you have two decks. Upper deck is large and open with a gas grill. Second deck beneath, accessible by steps or from lower level, is covered. Lots of lawn – almost an acre and it's almost all flat! Great for a cookout and a tossing around a football!
Cool Area Information:
*10 minutes away from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

*Farmer's Markets in Boone and West Jefferson are super popular and which offers the best of the growing organic culture in the mountains.

We truly like the spacious of the house, but the oven didn't work and was very inconvenient this time. We emailed the rental company but never heard back. The full-size beds really need to be updated to queen size beds. This will be our last year staying in this house due to the beds, which is very sad because we like the area and the lay out of the house.

The rental process was very easy. I did everything from my cell phone.

Blue ridge
The owner needs to upgrade the beds, and sleeping fulton. They’re so old and the fulton dropped all the way to the floor as you sit on it.

Tubing Trip
We enjoyed our weekend tubing trip, and the cabin was very nice. The house was very clean and provided a lot of room for our family with a beautiful view by the River. The only thing I would change is upgrading the full size beds to queen. A little hard for two adults to sleep on a full size bed. Very close quarters. LOL

Super easy to book and we all loved the view of the River during the day and seeing the stars at night.

Overall this suited our purpose. We all had a great time. My husband and I took our adult children, young grandchildren and both our mothers. Everyone had a great time. There were a couple minor disappointments/discourages…which would have possibly kept me looking for another property if I had known…mostly sleeping arrangements. I knew we would be right and that someone would be sleeping on a pullout or air mattress which was fine. But the descriptions are (were) deceiving. It was not clear the upstairs bedrooms shared a bath. That has been fixed if you read the full description…go by that…it is the most accurate. Only difference is the downstairs card table is not downstairs (which is better because the dining only sits 6 so we used the card table for extra seating). There are 4 folding chairs in the garage…still not enough seats for a house that sleeps 12 to sit together but we made it work.
If you’re there for the Wi-Fi …don’t go. It absolutely is not strong enough to even check your email. A couple of us needed to work o e day and were unable. Also at the advice of another guest we took a Roku stick but couldn’t use it due to the Wi-Fi signal being too weak. We played a lot of card games (though they have plenty we took our own). Also put together a couple puzzles they supplied. Went to Boone a couple times, grandfather mountain, blowing rock, Lincoln falls, and Tweetsie Christmas: all of which weee easy sei Ed and the kids (big & little) loved!
If you’re bringing animals (we did not) consider this …One of the neighbors, I believe the red house across the street, has 1 or 2 little hippy dogs that keep getting in the road and crossing over to the yard and doing their business! One of the kids actually stepped in it at one point! I did complain to the property manager about this but I’m not what or if they did anything or if they even can. Though NC does have a leash law.
I also let them know about the wifi. They said they’d send someone out that night but no one ever came.
All in all we had a great time and it’s a very nice property in a great and beautiful location. I’m would not go back with that many people as it was a little crowded. And the pull-outs are extremely uncomfortable. But if you have 8 or less people and don’t need Wi-Fi …I’d say go for it. Totally worth it!
Also we had a couple deer in the back yard one morning! …until The yippie dog barked them away 🙄

We needed a pet friendly cabin roomy enough for a family of 10 and this was perfect. Right on the river, close enough to Boone and West Jefferson to do any shopping necessary. Cooked a great Thanksgiving meal and even went to Frosty’s Choose and Cut Tree farm to bring home our Christmas tree.
It was a wonderful week!

beautiful area, lots of puzzles, games, etc. to entertain both children and adults inside and beautiful lawn leading to river outside. No gas for grill, however.

This was a wonderful property on the river. Easy drive to Boone and West Jefferson. Tubing/kayaking from Todd was perfect. As other mentioned, the mattresses were HARD and could use mattress toppers. All the linens and towels need to be updated. The furnishings were hodge-podge as well. If those things were to be taken care of, it would truly be a top notch rental!! We enjoyed our stay regardless of the poor sleep.

Peace and Beauty
Pros:
- Beautiful Views
- Close to Boone
- Lots of room in the cabin
- Snow was amazing
-Kitchen/home had everything we needed including extra blankets
-Everything was clean
Cons:
- The beds are rock hard and desperately need foam toppers. We slept horrible (and we are only in our 30’s!).. This would be the only reason we wouldn’t come back if this wasn’t updated.
Other:
When they say you need 4 wheel drive in the winter they mean it. Almost didn’t get out of the driveway with our Honda Odyssey.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
The cabin was clean. It's location is very convenient to Boone and the roads were very easy to drive on. It has nice view of the creek out the back. The downstairs quarters were perfect for our adult sons. There was lots of room to have family over for a meal. We enjoyed our weekend in the cabin.

We absolutely loved our stay at the property. Plenty of views of the river and the valley. The upstairs porch was our favorite place to be! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the sheets in the small bedroom upstairs were not comfortable at all. Definitely worth the stay, but I'd recommend bringing an extra set of your own sheets if you are a picky sleeper like myself. Great times in the valley! Thank you for a great getaway with friends.

This Home & Area is absolutely beautiful. Right on the New River so you're able to enjoy a relaxing 2hr tube ride down from the Todd park, best part is you end up right back at your house! The home is spacious, clean and stocked with everything you need & more. The one thing I wish it had was better river access. Other than that it was perfect!

Lovely getaway
This place is a great size and right on the river. The yard is open and spacious, which was great for our dogs. The place says it can sleep 12 but in addition to the multiple beds, there are two pull out couches, a futon , and a window seat that is six feet long. There are two kitchens that are mostly functioning. The downstairs one had the oven switched off but it was no issue for us. The only two "downsides" are the internet/ TV. It's in the mountains high speed internet isn't super available, but I suggest bringing movies and a chromecast or laptop that you can stream to the TV. The other issue was the river access. The neighbors have a lovely river side that is easy to access. The access for our house was a steep staircase that could use some attention. Overall we loved staying here and plan on coming back in the future!
4.6
Great house for a larger group
The house layout and size was great for the two family’s we had staying. Not to mention being right on the river is hard to beat. After the sun went down the lightening bugs were the most we have ever seen! The house was in good condition some of the furniture was old and with only one king and the rest of the beds being doubles or twins it made it a little more difficult, but we made due. There were definitely some things that could be fixed or updated, but nothing that made the trip any less enjoyable as most of our time was spent outside. Overall we had a great trip and would come back again!
4.6
Clean, great location
If you have small kids, this cabin is a perfect location on the railroad grade road to do bike trips in either direction. Also good to do a float trip from the public launch and end at the cabin. Cabin was clean with good space for kids to play downstairs, on the deck, in the yard, or ride bikes on the gravel road out front. Only complaint would be beds could be improved.

River House at Meadow Landing
Perfect property for a big family. Not too hard to find and love the big back yard. A great place to stay during any season!
