My favorite experiences at River House were in the mornings and golden afternoons. The view was inspirational. It was effortless to sit for a while watching the early morning mist rise, or passing clouds against blue skies, or the shifting tones of fall across the mountains. I’d do so listening to my playlists, which paired nicely with the soundbar. I had the entire space to myself, so it was easy to soak up the atmosphere.
I slept beautifully in the master bedroom. The bed and pillows suited me perfectly. It was fun having a pool table, although my skills were laughable. I used the kitchen more than I usually would, due to our CV19 era. They had everything I needed to prepare meals, which I ate on the long and lovely dining room table.
As remote as it felt, the neighborhood was close to Whole Foods, shopping and services. An entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway was only 5 minutes away. I’d definitely recommend this place to groups of friends, or a family. The living room is huge and hospitable and the deck is unbeatable. I didn’t try the hot tub but its location was perfect... woods to the left, mountains in the distance and a river down below.
