Description Description
Welcome to Riverwood at Mill Ridge!

This spacious home is centrally located in the High Country with quick access to Boone, Banner Elk, and everywhere in between! Next to the Watauga River, guests can enjoy the idyllic setting outside or spend time in the newly renovated inside. The main level offers dining in the formal room, with additional seating in the breakfast table and the counter. There is a gorgeous kitchen with matte steel appliances and granite counters, both Keurig and drip coffee, and easy access to the dining or living rooms. Near the front entrance is a half bath for convenience. Off the living area is the primary bedroom with a king bed and Roku TV. The attached full bathroom has a tiled tub/shower combination with jets and granite counters.

Head upstairs and you'll find two wings, each with two bedrooms and a shared bath between them in the hallway. To one side, a queen bedroom and a full over full bunk room with a twin trundle. To the other side of the home, a queen bedroom and a twin over full bunk room that includes a twin trundle. Each of the full bathrooms upstairs has a tub/shower combination and beautiful granite counters. Between the two wings is a large loft, set up as a great space for the family. There is a daybed with trundle to one side with a TV. The opposite side has a twin over twin bunk. Three arcades are set up (Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, & Ms. Pac-Man) with cozy bean bag chairs. For the littlest ones, the loft has a train table for hours of play. Cut down on your packing knowing that tucked in a closet are a high chair, bouncer, baby gates, and a portable crib.

Outside, the deck has been renovated and leads down to the grounds. Here you’ll find the hot tub and stone patio with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs surrounding it. Explore the yard and walk to the Watauga River ten yards away.

Family friendly!
Awesome family friendly home. Took 5 grandchildren ages 3 months to 9 years. House had anything you could even think of to keep them entertained and the pool was just across the street. Also a plus that everything for the baby was provided so we didn't have to pack any baby items other than diapers and milk. Very close to Tweetsie and Grandfather Mountain

Great place for a family time together
This was a great place for a family get together. The house is a center point in the area. We went zip lining, hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, water rafting, and sight seeing. Then when we came back to the house, it was great to climb into the hot tub and relax the old muscles. The kids loved the game room, and the river was available for fishing. In fact a guide was on the water behind the house instructing a fisherman on technique, that my grandson, a teenager took in every word.

Perfect mountain getaway for the family!
Kids loved the game room, the creek, and the loft area! We had an amazing stay. We appreciated being able to use the fire pit, hot tub and other amenities easily.

This place was perfect for our multi family retreat! Plenty of room, jacuzzi was massive and the river in the backyard was an added bonus. Convenient to everything cool in this area and very reasonably priced! We will be staying here again for sure.

After a snowy day in the mountain snowboarding all you want to do is come come to a house that is clean , neat and comfortable and that is literally what this house had for us this weekend from having though of everything you need and more to entertain kids from different ages . And we can't even begin to talk about the parents relaxing , with the clean and working hot tub and baby monitores provided ,wile the kids sleep ,parents got peace of mind being able to still hear their kids sleeping safe and comfortable in their own bed wile the parents took a turn relaxing in the hot tub or near the bond fire . The rental was ready before the time and it did had a clitch with the door code but the personal was quick to respond and help out. Best rental we have stayed in. We will be booking again soon

The perfect family house
My husband, my parents, and our 3 children (age 6, 3 and 3 months) had an amazing stay with nothing but great things to say!! Perfect location -- close to everything, on the river so the men could fly fish, arcade games and tons of toys and room to play, fully stocked kitchen, and even a rocking chair to use with baby. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great stay!

Family Memories
This house is everything you see and more. It was the perfect setup for our kids and their cousins to have a memorable family trip. The house is stocked with video games, train sets, legos, books, bunk beds, cozy coupes and more that the kids enjoyed. The adults enjoyed the stocked kitchen, on-site hot tub, views of the river and easy access to the pool and tennis courts. This home gets our highest review, and we are already planning our return visit.

The house that we rented was absolutely perfect
The house that we rented (River Wood) was absolutely perfect. We had four adult couples and eight grandchildren ranging from 2 to 15 years old. They all had a great time. There were three arcade games upstairs that had Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man and some other games. The kids loved it. I had a question about what time the pool closed and they answered me very quickly. The kitchen was well stocked, my wife said probably the best stocked kitchen she had ever seen. Our experienced with the realty company was perfect. They were quick to reply to everything. We will definitely rent through them again if we go back to that area.

We stayed at Riverwood in January. The neighborhood is right off the main road and close to tubing and ski areas. The house is on a paved, flat street that is plowed when it snows heavily. We really enjoyed the heated 2 car garage and it has storage for skis and snowboards. Inside we enjoyed the warm and cozy spaces, including a downstairs main bedroom and a gas fireplace in the living room. The house has been recently updated and looks amazing. We had three families who loved all the kid friendly amenities. The hot tub was perfect after a day of tubing in the cold. The kids game room kept them entertained. The fire pit was perfect for s'mores and the hot chocolate bar made the kids whole weekend. We are already booked for next winter! This house is great for big families or friend grps, or even small families.

Riverwood is amazing! We celebrated our youngest sons upcoming marriage and threw his finance a shower. It is very spacious, clean and the outdoor area in the backyard is soothing. We enjoyed s'mores over the fire pit and relaxed in the hot tub. The river out back just adds to the beauty. The upstairs area is so child friendly even though we didn't bring any little ones this time. Some of the adults enjoyed the arcade games. The hot cocoa bar was a big hit on the cool mornings. Everything was perfect and we would definitely stay again. Thank you for being apart of our special memories made this year!
