Take in the river from the porch swing or hot tub, cozy up to the stone fireplace or outside fire pit. Fishing & skiing are close: 15 miles to Sugar or Beech Mountains. You have full access to both cabins: the main house hosts the peaceful queen bedroom, bunk room, loft, main bathroom & shower (no tub), kitchen and dining room. The smaller separate cottage hosts the relaxing king bedroom, private bath, and laundry. If you have small children, please be aware that our property has some steep slopes. The main house contains a master queen bedroom with private french doors onto the deck, a bunkroom to sleep 3, a vaulted greatroom with huge stone fireplace, comfy kitchen with all the modern amenities, a stone sunroom with dining room and reading nook, double vanity bathroom with sunken shower, and a loft retreat for 65" 4K TV and games! A guest house (included in your reservation) right behind contains a master king bedroom, private bath, and laundry room...and a charming porch swing overlooking the river. Family adventures, romantic getaways, meditative retreats. Envision walking through the woods up behind the cabin, maybe even finding the hidden gazebo! The large deck makes for a great space to sit and look at the scenic hills and water just below. Imagine the cows mooing and the reclusive bald eagle flying overhead. The mountains are just what you need! In the winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle to get up the driveway in case of snow! Once you're all settled in, you can begin planning your adventures in the High Country...from shopping excursions in quaint Blowing Rock to epic hikes on the Appalachian Trail to zip-lining and ropes courses. From fine dining to fly fishing to river tubing to snow skiing, the choices are endless. Or just throw some logs on the fire, light up the grill, and hole up in your own luxurious retreat where all you can hear is the geese landing on the river and the cows mooing in the meadow. It's a magical place, and we'd love to share it with you! The area is full of beautiful hiking on the Appalachian Trail, exciting zip-lining and ropes courses, and relaxing fly-fishing spots and river tubing. Head to the quaint towns nearby to sample tasty local foods and brews, and browse the antique shops. Once you book with us, we'll send you our thorough visitors guide to the area for lots of specific recommendations. Completely renovated in the summer of 2018, the Briar Patch brings an enchanting mix of rustic nostagia and modern comfort in a whimsical, one-of-a-kind getaway you won't want to leave! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near an outlet shopping centre - On a river ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59800000/59791800/59791763/be741eea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeside Paradise!

The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, perfect for a romantic getaway. The hosts paid attention to every detail, making sure our stay was both fun and relaxing. We loved the river and being surrounded by nature, which added to the charm of the place. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable escape! ##### Michelle C.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage. Normally, when we go on vacations, we are constantly on the go. This time was different. We enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit, and the view. We can't stop talking about what a great time (relaxing time) we had. We will definitely be back. ##### Tina J. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark P. 4 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Getaway This cabin was just as advertised, nestled on the side over a mountain overlooking the mountain river! A quick walk down the road leads to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and landscapes. The cabin was perfect for 3 generations of my family and the wood burning fireplace and snow while we were there topped it all off. A quick 30 minute trip to Sugar Mountain for the kids to snow ski was very convenient and it's a very quick trip into Boone as well for walking around and enjoying local shops. We would definitely recommend you consider staying here if you are looking for a peaceful retreat during winter or summer! You won't regret it! ##### Mark P. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristel Loresco M. 21 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Winter Break This place is a gem! Nestled between Boone and Banner Elk. Our Kids love it… We did snow tubing at Sugar Mountain and It’s near Boone Downtown and Blowing rock if you want to dine in the restaurants. The Briar patch is so cozy and warm. Perfect if you want to escape the busy life in the city. The jacuzzi and Bonfire made this place extremely awesome! Very clean and complete with all the kitchen equipment that you’ll need and the Hosts are very hospitable and welcoming. Thank you Briar Patch for making our winter break memorable. God bless you Jerome and Kellie! ##### Kristel Loresco M.

We hated we could only stay 2 nights. We stayed with our two young children who loved the bunk room! The main cabin is really wonderful. The second, smaller cabin is such a neat part of the property! We enjoyed eating dinner at the table outside. We have stayed at a lot of cabins over the years, and this one is cozy, but with plenty of space at the same time. The only thing I would add is something about the history of the cabin! I would've loved to have known the age of the original part of the cabin and where the buildings originated. Overall, we hope we can return and stay longer next time! ##### Hilda J.
