About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy River - By the river, WI-FI

ON THE RIVER is what you will be when you stay at Cozy River Cabin, located in the heart of Valle Crucis, minutes to Mast General Store, the Candy Barrel, and just 15 minutes from downtown Boone.
Inside the home, you are wrapped in cozy comfort. Beautiful wormy chestnut cabinets, original artwork throughout, wraparound decking, flat yard for easy play and exploring, and just a walk-out-the-door to the Watauga River.
Just minutes to Valle Crucis Park, which has great picnic areas, fishing spots, and playground equipment as well as paved walkways by the river for biking and pet walking.

This home is pet friendly with a one-time, nonrefundable pet fee. This fee is not part of your VRBO total quote even if you indicate you are bringing a pet, since our VRBO is integrated with other sites and doesn't automatically add the charge. If you are bringing a pet, we will add your pet fee to your second half closer to the time of your arrival.

Very nice getaway!

Was here for long weekend. Great location and great ptoperty. River is very relaxing. Take Bairds Creek Road to avoid construction at Broadstone Road. Seems to be somewhat of a short cut.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was extremely dirty. Not maintained at all. Floors were soft. Carpenter bees swarmed the outside of the house. Decks and outside furniture were filthy. Curtains falling off the rods, kitchen cabinet doors would not close. Lower level was a non finished basement with a bed in the middle of the room open to furnace and ac. Mattresses were worn and needed to replaced. Overcharged for one small dog. Would not recommend this property at all. The only good things were a nice fireplace and location. Other than this, the place was a dump. Very disappointed.

Peaceful hideaway

This lovely cottage is so close to everything you may want to do, but it is easy to spend an entire day sitting by the river or on the huge deck overlooking the water. Plenty of room for 2 couples. Having the extra downstairs bath was great. Would be happy to return next summer!

Great location

Great location on the watuga river and close to tweetsie and town. Lots of great places to eat. The cabin was clean but in need of repairs lights in bedrooms don't work and our first night was 18 degrees and the heat quit working on our first night. The owner did call a repair man but failed to fix it he made things worse the fan blew cold air all night again. We decided after two nights of no sleep we cut our vacation short to go back home because we didn't want to freeze again with our newborn child. Was disappointed to say the least. Over 800.00 for a vacation rental we couldn't even get comfortable in. Based on other reviews the lighting and heating and air seemed to be the biggest complaint it should be addressed.

Close to town, Functional and mostly clean. Mixed experience.

Lose to town location helps. Neighborhood is mixed some nice houses mixed in with run down ones. Property needs maintenance. Peeling paint (inside and outside) and wallpaper. Half the light bulbs do not work. Most fixtures connected using plugs. Not child friendly. Fridge and dishwasher relatively new, but there’s not even a single full set of coffee mugs. The gas fireplace was nice. Bathroom had bugs and spiders, so we used our own bed sheets, pillows etc. and washed the dishes/spoons before use. Please note, there is no garbage service. Guest has to haul it themselves to dumpsters. Would not recommend unless they improve the maintenance.

Clean, convenient location

Very clean. Is not fancy but was everything we needed. Location was convenient to fishing, local stores/restaurants, and ski slopes. It was spacious and comfortable for 3 adults. The large flat yard was also really nice. Was a great place for a winter trip but would be even better in the summer since it is right on the Watauga! Owner was also very responsive to my questions.

Repairs needed!

No tv reception so bring your dvd's. Wifi box was on but couldnt get any reception from it and yes i used the correct password that was given. Air Conditioner didnt work. Water smelled like sulfuric acid or hydrogen sulfide ("spoiled eggs") so bad that you didnt even want to shower in it or use the sink. So other than that it has a nice large deck to sit and enjoy the veiw of the river and enjoy the weather. I will not recommend or stay at this location again. I wouldnt consider this a fishermans paradise either due to the lack of trout in the river behind the cabin.

Luca S., Atlanta, GA

Nice location, property could use some fixing

The location of the cabin is great, close to 2 ski resorts and near several great restaurants. The stream in the backyard is very nice and great for having a pet along. That said, the cabin can really use some TLC. The electrical wiring is very poor (wires running along ceiling beams and power strips all over the place) and several bulbs were missing. Also, the main bathroom ceiling is not finished. The second bathroom listed in the description is in the basement, which could use some through cleaning up and serious organization. The Wi-Fi connectivity was good given that there was no cell phone reception in the area (which was to be expected), but there was also no working land line, which would make it hazardous in case of a true emergency. This also affected all communication attempts with management. After the first day of our stay, the heating system stopped working and we had to use a small portable electric radiator during some of the coldest days of the year (single digit temperatures). The management was notified and they sent a technician out to us the next day to check the system. It turned out the propane had run out. They called in a propane refueling service that came out within the hour. Once the propane was refilled, the gas fireplace started working again, but the main house heating did not. The technician stated that the outside unit did not work, so we wouldn't be able to use the main heating system, just the fireplace. At the end of our stay, we had to dispose of our own trash (per NC rental laws) which was fine for us, except the "convenience center" (trash disposal center) listed on the cabin instructions was closed on the day we left (a Tuesday). Given that no other alternate convenience center was listed, we ended up having to drive around with the trash in our car looking for an open alternative for an hour. Definitely not what we had imagined from the description and the pictures.

Great location. Great deck.

The location is wonderful. The deck is amazing. The 2nd bedroom is a double bed with a bunk over it. The 2nd bathroom is in the basement. This configuration was a little uncomfortable with 2 couples. It would be nice arrangement for a family. The TV's were great.The main bathroom walls need to be finished. We saw 9 deer in the adjacent field!

Perfect river cabin

My family stayed here and we loved the location. My 3 year old and my Jack Russell loved playing and floating in the river. There was plenty of room for us. The bathroom does need some updating but it looks like there are some repairs being made with the ceiling. But overall, the place was great for a quick summer mountain get-a-way. If you are just looking for basic but comfy, then you will be happy here.

A weekend getaway with family

Your place is so quaint and it gives you the feel of being in the mountains. Enjoyed the view of the river and the deer was a plus. Nice and quiet area. Very well stocked kitchen. We would definitely recommend your home and even come back ourselves. Thank you for opening your home to us. My family had a wonderful time!!
