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! ##### Stephanie C.

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 ##### Shannon T.

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. ##### Douglas D.

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! ##### Lisa B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie A. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short but Sweet 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. ##### Jackie A. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria D. 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent with a few little kinks The property is really lovely. I will bear in mind that we were the first guests the owners had after Hurricane Helene so I am assuming that most of the little things were not noted prior to our arrival due to the break in action and just dealing with the larger issues of storm damage etc. The upstairs/bedroom TVs did not function and the alarm on the door had some setting issues that were a bit annoying, the dishwasher was not unloaded before we got there. But these are minor housekeeping issues that I am certain are normally tended to. Generally, the place is lovely, the views from the very large deck and super comfortable Adirondack styled dining and seating areas were truly beautiful with the River rapids right at our feet. Location was super convenient and overall just a a very pleasant stay. We had tix to the App game and had a day of hiking planned but truly, as enjoyable as both those things were, it was hard to leave that deck and that view for the day after Breakfast! The living area and entertainment space is HUGE for only a two bedroom house. Great value, beautiful home! ##### Victoria D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steven W. 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### On the river 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. ##### Steven W.

Such a great experience for a small family. We have a 5 year old son and having a separate room directly down the hall with his own bathroom was perfect! The view of the river from almost every room in the house was magical. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. I don’t have one bad thing to say about the house only positives! ##### Kayluh U. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025
