Hot tub - Pool Table - Theatre Room - Fireplace - Wine Tasting Room - Gas Grill - 20 manicured acres w/ ziplines, trampoline, slip n slide tube, etc. Located in Sugar Grove, 20 min from Boone, 25 min to Banner Elk, 30 min to skiing & snowtubing. Well-decorated. Well-stocked. Expectations met. $75 Pet Fee (one max, under 35 pounds). Pet approval req'd. We do NOT allow larger dogs at River Ranch (please seek pet approval before booking). Master King bedroom, pool table and TV room are upstairs with a main level King bedroom (that feels like a master) and one King bedroom downstairs. Wood-burning fireplace, Wi-fi & Smart TVs, of course. Fully-stocked kitchen, drip coffee maker, huge outdoor deck with glass railing overlooking the entire farm, fire pit, access to fresh eggs and veggies, seasonally. The land is amazing: petting zoo (goats, bunnies, horses & alpacas), a full bird estuary, trout stream, hiking trails, ponds with Koi and ducks, trampoline, ziplines, beach, seating all over the acreage and tons of swings & our yearround water/snow tube slip n slide! And then 1/4 mile of state stocked trout stream. Our guest house is a rental on airbnb as well as our neighboring barn. There will be other small families or couples on the farm enjoying the animals and amenities, however, there is no reason for them to travel up to your cabin, it sits up on the knoll and the petting zoo and all the amenities are private for only our cabins! You have full access to 20 acres with ponds, hiking trails, tons of swings and benches and fire pits - enjoy! So why not add a friendly petting zoo? Say no more! We live just up the road in case you need anything, but with 1000+ 5-star reviews among our cabins, we tend to know how to interact with our guests 🤪 The Bethel area of Sugar Grove is a quaint area, easily accessible, near everything you will need. And the corner store just up the road has all of the basics you may need from milk and eggs to gas. It’s a slower “Valle Crucis” if you are familiar with the area! We are 20-25 minutes from town so plan accordingly. We have a paved driveway with grading, it can be a difficult climb in the winter months without 4x4. We will always recommend 4x4 in the winter months, however, we are also located off a state maintained road and we would consider us easier access. NO HOLIDAY DAY ARRIVALS. This cabin is luxury and a true second home opened only for the winter months. It is meticulous and we keep party sizes at 6 or under and allow only one dog, under 35 pounds, with a $75 pet fee (weight and breed limitations, please ask).
