Beautiful Riverside Getaway

We are happy to have opened our home back up for your enjoyment and will continue to adjust our policies as needed to assure the best experience for you, our guest. Due to a shortage of employees, from time to time we may need to remove our instant booking option so that we can guarantee availability of cleaning staff between our reservations. Thank you for your patience during the reservation process and for your continued support. We look forward to hosting you.

This beautiful 2BR/3BA home has an open floor plan and full service kitchen which makes it perfect for a couples' getaway or family fun-filled vacation. The large yet cozy great room includes the kitchen, dining area and den with stone fireplace (gas) and plenty of seating. There is a beautiful view of the river out of the large picture windows. The wrap around deck has outdoor seating and overlooks the Watauga River with its out-cropping of rocks and abundant wildlife.
Two master bedroom suites, each with queen beds and their own large private baths, sleep 4 adults comfortably. The living room also has a queen size sleeper couch.
Amenities Included are:
Linens provided
Washer/Dryer
Charcoal Grill on deck
Broadband Internet with WiFi
TVs in living room and bedrooms with cable TV services and Netflix.

For security purposes we have three exterior security cameras - one covering each entrance to the house.

It is our hope that Riverplace will become a tradition, where you will return to enjoy the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, relax, and make memories.

Lovely Mountain Home

House was great and had all the amenities you need for a short stay. Location is great- close to downtown Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Hawksnest and Mast General Store. River out back was lovely to watch and even with snow on the ground it was easy to walk down to the edge of it. Communication with host was prompt and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home by the river

The property was a lovely get-a-way by the Watauga River. The driveway was a little tricky, but the rest of the home was perfect. Clean and beautifully decorated. Info on all equipment was easily understood. We hope to stay there again.

Beautiful escape at Riverplace

This was our third time back at Riverplace and we will continue to return because it’s the perfect spot for us. 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!

beautiful home

Beautiful home, lovely interior, kitchen well equipped. Location on the bank of a river is great, but also right on a busy highway. The road noise was prevalent, but not oppressive. At night, the headlights from passing cars were distracting, especially in one bedroom.

Beautiful stay

Hearing the river with the rapids at night was a lovely experience! It is a nice property and convenient compared to some of the places we rented in this location! Driveway is a bit tricky. The Property manager was very pleasant and helpful! The kitchen was very guest friendly and basic amenities were there! I would rent this home again!

weekend trip

Location was great. 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

Take Me to the River!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Great proximity to town but had the feel of really getting away. The river view from the deck is spectacular and relaxing. The home is very warm and inviting. We hope to come back soon!
