  • Inn Details

    Much, much more than a Bed and Breakfast, River House is a full-service inn on the North Fork of the New River, near West Jefferson and not far from Boone. Located in the northwest corner of North Carolina four miles south of VA Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we are far from the bustle of everyday life. There's a mile of riverfront for strolling, wading, tubing, canoeing and fishing. Brown trout and rainbows abound. Walking trails wind through 170 acres. Our uniquely decorated guestrooms are converted farm buildings and feature king-size beds, private bathrooms, Jacuzzis, art, books and country antiques. Awake each morning to coffee at your door followed by breakfast in the main house. For dinner, our restaurant offers exquisite regional cuisine, an international wine list, and a full-service bar with all ABC permits. For on property outdoor adventure we have nine kayaks, two canoes, six tubes and for the land lovers eight miles of hiking trails right out the back door. Visit nearby sites such as New River State Park, Grayson Highlands, Mt. Jefferson and Stone Mountain. Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. Bike the popular Creeper Trail. Ride horseback at Burnt Hill Stables. Play golf at Mountain Aire Golf Course. Shop for antiques, art and pottery. One of the most popular things to do is absolutely nothing! Relax in a rocking chair on the front porch overlooking the river, visit with other guests, and stroll around the property. River House is ideal for a romantic stay. In fact, you can even get married here! Come to one of many special culinary evenings. Our Sunday afternoon salons, featured on UNC-TV, showcase a wide variety of musicians and other artists from near and far.

    The Nayar House was perfect for us. Enjoyed a 4 hour kayak paddle down the New River, the Sunday Salon was a wonderful experience. The staff treated you like family. Atmosphere was casual elegance.

    The River House is an unexpected surprise in the mountains of NC. With the New River flowing beside you and the charm of the restored property, you leave feeling like you were a very special guest. If you are going to get away from the paces of everyday life, this is the place for you. Best time to visit would be in the spring if you are looking for an active get-a-way as they offer canoeing trips and the property is filled with amazing wildlife and scenic beauty for hiking and picnics. But anytime you go, you will leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. The staff and owners make you feel quite at home. When you arrive and are greeted by Paula with a warm southern welcome and are taken care of by Sherman in his hopes to make your stay a delightful one, you feel like you have known them all your life. The air is thick with history and a well kept landscape invites you to explore. The dinner served is impecable and the breakfast is a welcome way to start the day. The room we stayed in was wonderful and the tub was a nice way to unwind and relax with the complimentary bottle of champagne. I think this was a wonderful get-a-way for our anniversary.
