The house was nice. The layout and design was good for a family vacation like ours. The property and surroundings are quiet and wooded with a river in view of parts of the house.
The rec room smelled like cat litter and it was hard to stay in there and enjoy the pool table and ping pin etc. we could not stand the smell during our stay and kept the window open when we could. Tons of cobwebs and dead bugs. Coh webs on the walls which shows it has not had a deep clean in a long time. The comforters and blankets were not clean. One had a chocolate stain and clearly was not washed between rentals. Under the beds were dusty and the floor was sticky. They need to clean the house deeply. Then the rental would be very very nice.
When we returned home they tried to charge us an extra 281 for our dog which we told them about and also lists dogs ok so I’m not sure why they tried to be greedy and charge us. We disputed it with the bank and do not plan to be sucked into a rental scam like that.
Do not give them your bank card. They will use it to charge without authorization or advance notice.
In final. Pick somewhere else. There are plenty of rentals out there.

When choosing a VRBO we are always looking for a place that will allow dogs. Luckily we stumbled upon this property! The property itself could use a little TLC, but honestly if everything was brand new it would be a lot more to rent and dogs would probably not be allowed. That said, the property was clean and did not smell at all, like others had warned about. Furniture was clean and comfortable and the linens provided were very comfortable.The house has a great view and a fantastic location. We loved hanging out by the river and the dogs and kids loved swimming and tubing. Our kids also loved playing pool in the garage! Neighbors were very nice and we felt safe and welcome. The kitchen had a Keurig and plenty of pots and pans for cooking, which we did the entire stay for all of our meals.
Like others have mentioned, the kitchen/living room area can be quite dark. If you can bring a portable light source, it may be helpful. Also, four wheel drive is recommended even in the summer as the hill that the property is on is quite steep.
Overall we had a great stay and have even talked about renting again in the winter!

This was a wonderfully peaceful week. Walking around the river, and just sitting on the porch overlooking the river reading. Fun nights playing pool in the garage, and even a trip to hike waterfalls around Boone. The interior of the home is beautiful and impeccably cleaned. The outside not as much. The decks, porches, and the gazebo are nice but coated in cob webs, dust and pollen, however we still made use of them because it is so beautiful outside. Could use more lighting in the living room, bulbs burned out?. There was no light available but the TV. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable for a rental. That was very much appreciated. We have rented from VRBO many times in the past, and have had many wonderful hosts of these properties add their personal touch and make sure you are happy with your stay. Just for your information this rental is not offered by the owner, host. It is offered through a real estate agency for the owner. This was not a problem for us as the property was wonderful., it was just somewhat less personal than we are use to.

Beautiful modern home in a really nice area of the New River. Unique and well appointed. Lovely landscaping. Nice that it was all one level. Kitchen had great appliances and included two coffee makers, drip and Keurig. Grill was in good condition. Comfy beds. The pullout sleepers in semi-private side rooms would be more comfortable for kids than adults, but that's no surprise. Enjoyed playing pool and ping pong. Loved having tubes available. It was a short walk to the river. Lots of books, games, puzzles. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our vacation here. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was great and we enjoyed the inner tubes that were provided for short floats down the river. Thanks for a great time!

Very clean inside, comfortable beds, beautiful view of river in a quiet peaceful community. We took our grandkids (ages 6 & 10) for 3 night stay and they loved it! Even our dog felt right at home. We watched 3 deer walk down the lane from our bedroom window in the morning and one of them ate the flowers off the neighbor’s mums. What a treat for the grandkids to watch! We had beautiful weather so enjoyed the screened in porch during the day. My grandson had a ball shooting pool with grandpa and fishing in the river although they didn’t catch anything. Could use brighter lights in some areas for our senior eyes though, but overall, a very beautiful place to stay. Would love to go back again when we can stay longer! As FYI, we didn’t see any places to eat or shop for groceries nearby. We drove 20-25 minutes for that but that wouldn’t keep us from staying there again.
