Welcome to Historic McGuire House! - A unique example of a late-nineteenth century farmhouse built in Ashe County that's been updated for guests to enjoy. As you enter the property, you will drive through the granary which adds to the historic character of the home. In recent years, the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been renovated with high end furnishings and the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. Another neat fact about this home is that it's pictured on the front cover of the best-selling novel, Nobody's Fool, by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Richard Russo. Enjoy scenic views from the two porches of the nearby New River and mountain surroundings. The New River, famous for being one of the few rivers in the US that flows north, offers outdoor fun such as fishing, kayaking, and tubing. The home sits nestled between hills on 5.5 acres over looking the beautiful New River. A bubbling creek runs by the big barn past the deck and joins the New River below the house. Take some time to rest and watch the river from a rocking chair on one of the front porches or relax in the private hot tub at the back of the home. ​​​​​​​The house also has a complimentary computer and there is fiber optic WiFi throughout. River access across from the home may be difficult as hay is grown along the river edge. Todd Island Park is a very short drive or walk down the road and provides easy access to the water.

The place will comfortably sleep 6 or 7 but it’s very difficult for a large group to hang out in any room or either porch. Our large group had to separate into different areas to hang out unless we all sat in the front yard. ##### Nick R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nathan J. 3 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and cozy house The location was beautiful. It is about 25min from Boone and 50min away from sugar mountain. The house is cozy and old. It was very clean. The house needs a little tlc as there are things falling apart. Bathroom cabinets, soap dispenser filled with mostly water, light fixtures without working bulbs in bedroom and downstairs hall, etc. Besides this, we had a great time and was perfect for our family ##### Nathan J. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Melanie S. 28 Nov 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Vacation Overall nice property ease access to Boone and surrounding areas. The outside needs yard maintenance and the bedrooms need updated/ new bed spreads. The sofa in the TV room needs replacing. The house itself was very comfortable, warm and all you needed. ##### Melanie S. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### James C., South Carolina, USA 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great House and Great Location I want to write a fair review and explain the grade I gave it. I will start with the positives which completely outweigh the negatives. Firstly, it is in the best location if you want to spend time on the river. There is a small park that is a 2min walk to get to and you can swim there or get on tubes or kyaks and ride them from there down, or you can drive a mile or two up the road and park, and put in there and get out at the park, or you can put in at the park and there are two places you can get out at. Don't have tubes? There are three tube rental places, one across from the house, and one at each end of the road, so you are covered. For our needs, it was a perfect spot. Secondly, the house was pretty nice on the inside. It was clean and they pretty much have it user friendly stocked. The inside was pretty much how they presented it and the outside was kind of. The house was really nice, on the inside upstairs and downstairs and overall it was a great place to stay, but it does have some issues you will notice. So, here are the negatives: Firstly, they need more bowls, stirring spoons, mixer beaters (had a mixer but no beaters), rubber spatula, and just general kitchen supplies used for cooking. They had plenty of pans and pots. Knives were dull, so need a way to sharpen them. If we use this house again, we will bring a sharpener. The kitchen layout is alright, but the stovetop takes a little bit to heat up, but once it does, it stays hot for a while, so beware of that. There is no icemaker, but they do provide ice trays and a bowl. The water is great!!! The floor in the kitchen has some soft spots, as well as the floor in front of the downstairs bathroom. We had an issue with the tv remote that wouldn't work, so we called and they came out, however, the only place it worked for was the upstairs tv and the static was so bad you couldn't really watch it, so we did without tv, which was fine. We were able to manually control the one downstairs with the console. The upstairs restroom toilet area is poorly designed; they have a ledge that runs alongside the toilet that forces you to sit on it at an angle, which is very uncomfortable, but the little boys loved it for a foot rest. They use window units, so no central heat and air, but we had no problem with that; it stayed a nice temp in the house. There is no cell phone coverage there, so use the wireless, which isn't that great upstairs. Landscape needs better care. Look for my other review. ##### James C.
