Description Description
Incredible views from the two porches of the river and mountains, fishing, kayaking, biking in front of this amazing home just down the road from Boone. It has been recently renovated with high end furnishings and updated kitchen and bathrooms. The house has a complimentary computer and there is fiber optic WiFi throughout. It sits nestled between hills on 5.5 acres over looking the beautiful New River. A bubbling creek runs down from the big barn past the deck, across to join the New River. Fish, swim or tube right in front or just relax and watch the river from a rocking chair on the front or upstairs porches. The house is famous too - it is on the cover of the best selling novel Nobody's Fool by Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Russo.
 

River access across from the home may be difficult as hay is grown along the river edge.  Todd Island Park is a very short walk down the road and provides easy access to the water

This house is beautiful. The area is private and quiet with a river across the road you can fish in. the house is well equipped and spacious. Our family really enjoyed the board games and the hot tub. If I ever rent in Todd again, this house will definitely be my first choice.

LOVELY HISTORIC HOME
We had a great stay at the historic McGuire House. We have rented several mountain homes/cabins in the past and this one was by far the best furnished of them all. Plenty of pots and pans, utensils, towels, extra blankets, everything you need to grill, etc. The history of the house was very interesting and we enjoyed admiring the original craftsmanship. The area was very peaceful and relaxing. The river across the road lends to additional recreation, with tubing, swimming, fishing, etc. There are beautiful walking trails also in the area. Thank-you for a wonderful stay!

WEEKEND GETAWAY
We absolutely loved this place. The location was great and there was so much to do. The house is older, but so nice. There were plenty of rooms. Its located right across from the river where you can tube, fish, or just enjoy the peace. Would definitely recommend this to friends.

MY KIND OF HEAVEN
May be biased because my heart is forever in those Appalachians, but this was my kind of heaven. Loved the house, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, excellent views. However, if you need cell phone service or consistently working internet, this may not be the place for you. Highly recommend the hiking trail across the street on the island & a visit to Todd Mercantile & bakery. Perfect vaca for mountain souls. We fell in love & can't wait to return.

ENJOYED THE STAY
We like old houses so this suited us fine. We had a good stay. It was great to be able to go up river and then just kayak down to the house and then get out---very nice. Thanks for sharing this place!

BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO STAY, VERY TRANQUIL!
We enjoyed our stay at the McGuire house, loved the historic nature of the home and area as well as the proximity to the New River which is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful views! My only complaint and it has nothing to do with the home was with regard to allergy sufferers, which unfortunately we happen to be. I did have to launder all bed linens and towels as one of my children has a severe allergy (hives, swelling etc) to fragranced detergents and for the rest of us bothers our eyes, sinuses and causes mild itching. Otherwise, our stay was perfect!

NICE QUIET AREA, HOUSE WAS WELL FURNISHED AND NEAT
Interesting property. Shrubbery and grounds could use some attention. Website pictures are older from current state. Address listed was not correct We finally found it after going past a couple of times. Overall enjoyable stay.
