It was the perfect peaceful spot for our morning coffee. We spent a lot of time in the evenings around the firepit, which is set up perfectly. We loved the cool statues that were carved in the woods. The kitchen had all the amenities that were needed to prepare meals.  We loved our stay at the cabin and look forward to staying again. We have rented through 4 Seasons before and have never been disappointed." by Robert     Sky Retreat

"Literal Dream We were down for a family wedding - this was an absolutely beautiful property, exactly as listed, secluded but easy to find. We very much enjoyed our stay!" By Amber  Carolina Dream

"My husband and I thoroughly ENJOYED our stay!  View was Beautiful!  Absolutely Nice & Quiet!  Our dogs loved running around and we were happy that they wore themselves out. Just stayed at the cabin and did absolutely NOTHING! Did go to Food Lion and Big Lots for groceries which was not far from the cabin. Grilled, used the hot tub and had campfires at night by the river which was really nice. My husband saw a bald eagle." By Michelle  Picture Perfect

"The location was PERFECT and a quick drive to Blowing Rock downtown, Boone, and Tweetsie Railroad. There were multiple forms of entertainment for young kids and for adults. Cute boutiques and delicious restaurants. The house was clean and cozy with spacious rooms. The beds are comfortable. Kitchen was stocked appropriately for cooking or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire. They had plates, bowls, and silverware for young kids. I really appreciated how friendly this place was for toddlers. We were traveling with an almost 2 year old, and she enjoyed the tinker toys, mega blocks, and books. There were several hikes within close distances. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend." By Jaclyn  A Haven of Rest

"The place was cozy and surprisingly spacious." By Cannon  Red's Retreat

"The property was everything we wanted and so much more! We enjoyed everything the property had to offer. The hot tub with its beautiful view, the amazing back porch view with the fire pit in the morning over coffee and while relaxing in the evening! Seeing the deer every evening and morning was a huge bonus! We will definitely be staying here again :)" By Keegan  A Deer Haven

"Would definitely recommend! Hot tub was super clean, the property was beautiful, and the private driveway was nice. Perfect spot for 4 people- not to mention the owner was on top of her game at giving me directions! Loved it and you will too. " Autumn Mist

"Beautiful setting on the South Fork of the New River! We had a great stay and a wonderful Thanksgiving with family at the house! Really enjoyed fires at the fire pit along the river - very relaxing and great place to enjoy the wildlife and scenery with our family! House was clean and had everything we needed. Very good access to Jefferson / West Jefferson for last minute items and other amenities too." Thanksgiving 2019-Challen, Water's Edge

"​This property was amazing. It was the perfect size for a larger group. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. We would definitely stay there again!!" Leslie, New River Retreat-Lodge and Special Events

"We loved everything about this beautiful property. The river was wonderful. Our dog and 2 and a half year old grand daughter could not stay out of it! The cabin is so well equipped and maintained and decorated so nicely. We had 10 people including 2 children. One a 3 month old baby. Every single one of us would be happy to rent your beautiful cabin again. What a view. We only had a short weekend, with a mountain wedding in Lansing, thrown in. I wanted to stay for much longer!!!" Frances, River Raves

"We had a wonderful stay there and our guests were amazed by the accommodations and beauty of the lodge. There was ample space for our entire group, the beds were very comfortable, and we only wish we could have stayed longer.  We will likely use your lodge in the future." - Dan, New River Retreat-Lodge & Special Events Cabin

"We absolutely LOVE this cabin! My husband and I are also Realtors and we would love to know if this cabin ever becomes available for purchase. Thanks so much! We will most certainly be back!" -Starr, Clark Miller Roller Mill Cabin

"Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home for the week. We really enjoyed the beautiful views and peaceful week. Our children will remember being here on the "Best Vacation they ever had" instead of being in all the devastation we will be returning to in our permanent home in Wilmington. Thanks Again!" - Jessica,  Peak-a-Boo Creek

"I am a previous owner of a residential property management company . 4 seasons has excellent customer service and communication. Owners are fortunate to have a management team like 4 seasons in this area . -Lori Love, Mountain Lair

This cabin is centrally located between Jefferson & Boone , and a very short ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin is up on a hill overlooking a stream and you can listen to the rushing water while enjoying coffee on the deck. The cabin is just what we were looking for and had everything we needed during our stay. We got up one morning and it was 58 degrees and that made the Hot Tub even more inviting !! The house has plenty of entertainment options, satellite TV and a nice pool table. On our last morning we were on the deck and watched a deer come out of the woods and wander in and out of a small clearing eating grass. There is construction going on in the area, but it never bothered us. A great place to stay.-Don, Autumn Mist

My family and I rented a cabin from 4 Seasons this past weekend. I found the rental, reserved, and paid for everything on their easily navigable website. When I called the office with questions not answered online, I spoke to someone right away. No phone tag or waiting for someone to call back, which was very convenient. My family really enjoyed their stay and would definitely do business with 4 Seasons Vacation Rentals again." Megan

Awesome :) we will be back. Minor problems and a special thanks to Donna, Sherrie, and Kristina all were taken care of promptly beyond my imagination. As far as we are concerned you 3 ladies rock. 4 Seasons is excellent in every way our 4 week stay turned into 7 weeks and we still did not want to leave." Joyce

The ladies of 4 Seasons were very responsive and handled our vacation very well. The weather was amazing and gave us a break from Florida's heat and humidity." 

The folks at 4 Seasons are delightful to work with and we've never had a problem they couldn't solve. Their web site provides details on number of bathrooms, bedrooms, number and size of beds, special amenities (hot-tubs, tvs, etc.), local attractions and much more. It's hard to imagine an easier way to find that special place for a retreat to the mountains."  Google Reviewer

We stayed here in the summer for a float. Everyone was very nice and accommodation priced well. Overall a great experience."  Shannon

I have been renting cabins through 4 Seasons for 4 years now. I have never had a service problem or a problem with the condition of any of the cabins, and we rent at least 3 times per year. We did have one experience whereby the carbon monoxide monitor was low on batteries and the system was beeping when we arrived. We called the office and got immediate help and the problem was immediately resolved. You have to really do your homework when considering a cabin - look at all the photos several times and review the amenities, to be sure it's what you think you are renting. If you have questions, like the location, or age of the cabin, etc., just email the office and they will answer any questions you have. I love this outfit, their service, the cabins they rent, and the owners that use them to rent their properties." Cam

My wife and I have used 4 seasons for a number of years and always had great experiences. " Ronnie

We have used 4 Seasons Vacation Rentals many times over the years and have been extremely happy every time. We love to explore and try new locations. I was saddened to hear that our very favorite place might not be available any longer. However, with all of the rentals they have, that are pet friendly, I am sure we will find a new favorite. Each cabin is unique and we select them for various reasons. Our daughter always wants a hot tub, I like country charm and hiking, my husband basically wants to just get away from the hustle of city life. We have rented different times during the year, but our absolute favorite time is Thanksgiving. The staff are great to work with and have helped us with planning our outings. Looking forward to our next adventure. " Sonja

The 4 Seasons staff / reservationists are always so pleasant and helpful! They respond to our questions about the cabin quickly and when we check in - the place is spotless!" Adrienne

We have used 4 Seasons for a LONG time. We come up for Merle Fest each year and stay a week at one of the cabins they represent. Easy to communicate with the folks in the office, payments always were timely and the cabins were as advertised. I can't remember a problem with any of them and I know we've used them at least the last eight years."  Steve

We have been renting from 4 Seasons for years and have always been very pleased with the service we have received."  Vanessa & Daniel

We had a great weekend despite the Emergency Room visit. I have already recommended y'all to some friends. We will be booking with you again!"  Doris

"River Rocks was the perfect place for our family to meet up with our extended family during a crazy year when we didn't think it would be possible.  The house comfortably fit our family of four as well as grandparents and brother-in-law's family of 5--11 total!  We didn't feel crowded at all because of the layout.  We had everything we needed right on site and never needed to leave the property for several days of relaxation, adventure, and fun.  There was plenty of room for the 7 kids to run around together outside and the playground area is an added bonus that most rentals don't have.  This was such a blessing for us because we live in the city and don't have much space for the kids to run and play.  They could even have adventures on their own on a little trail in the woods along the side of the property.  The lower level was a great hangout area for them to play board games and video games and give the grownups some peace and quiet upstairs.

The river was also an exciting place for them to explore.  We brought lifejackets and tubes, and we were able to walk up-river and float down.  We also spent many evenings at the fire pit, relaxing by the river as the sun set. I also enjoyed running through the picturesque surrounding farmland and doing yoga on the large lower patio.  My favorite part was the expansive covered deck areas overlooking the river.  We spent almost all of our time out there enjoying the landscaping, river, and mountain view.  We ate out there for every meal, read, and talked.  There was space for everyone out there, which is amazing with such a large group.  The weather was perfect, even a little chilly for August, so we could sit out in the fresh, clean air all day, every day watching the kids running around and even enjoying the views when it was raining.  The owner was wonderful and accommodating, answering all our questions whenever needed. This is our new favorite place for vacation, and I highly recommend it for those who need a place to get away from it all!" Kim-Baltimore MD, River Rocks

This property was perfect for my family of three. Even if we had a few more people we would have been totally comfortable. The grassy area by the creek was fabulous to let our dog roam and have fun! We skipped rocks and enjoyed the solitude of this cabin. Enjoyed the pool table and had nice meals and wine on the deck. We ate at the Boondocks prior to arriving at the cabin for an afternoon snack and local beers. Our son enjoyed playing corn hole there and our dog could be with us on the patio while we ate. Perfect! The staff was great too!"  -Inge, Autumn Mist

" River Rocks is the complete package. Beautifully appointed house with ample space for large families, expansive deck that functions as an outside room with 2 private alcoves for the book worm. Beautiful park like space beside the river that offers a children's area, picnic area and a fire pit for smores when the sun goes down. We will be back for sure! " Marsha-Atlanta GA, River Rocks


This was a truly unique property! The mill house is beautiful and the owners did an amazing job at restoring it and making it a home! The picture don't do it justice and it is truly a one of a kind property!" -Elizabeth, Clark Miller Roller Mill

Good cabin and amenities. Exceeded expectations. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table and Wii."  -Eric, River Hill

My husband and I loved this property and want to come back for our next anniversary. This cabin is my favorite cabin thus far. The river was easy access for fishing and we had a blast! So peaceful and if you are looking for tranquility this is the place! Enjoyed the rabbits, the geese and all the calmness it offered."  Jose, Rushing Waters

I liked the cabin a lot it was very comfortable and nice. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin."  Jorge, New River Haven

We had a fabulous time and this is definitely one of the most unique cabins we have stayed in. All of the communication was very prompt and all my questions were answered within a day. We used the outdoor grill and kitchen for all our meals. Activities: hot tub, river tube floating, fishing, and hiking around Todd Donna was very helpful and answered all my questions prior to the trip! thank you!!! :) We had a great time and have already recommended this cabin to many of our family and friends." Britt, Laurel Mtn Cabin

We enjoyed Christmas in July, Antique stores, Almost every restaurant in town - and some outside of town - as long as they were not fast food chains, and Jewelry shops. Third time here - staying at same cabin - in last 4-5 years - love the mountains. Liked the temperatures - had to go home to HEAT and HUMIDITY. "  Michael, Dogwood Ridge

Such an incredible property that we fell in love with! Will definitely stay here again. We enjoyed Hiking, great pizza in town, fun day in the river."  -Susan, Clark Miller Roller Mill

The property was wonderful. The kitchen was so well furnished. Could not have asked for more. The reservation staff was phenomenal. I had to call them a few times b/c we got lost and the address for the convenience station. Every time I called I talked w/ I got a very pleasant person. Wonder staff. - Faye, Running Bear

"We rented this property for our son’s wedding at the Barn on The New River.  I wanted a place that my Dad 90 would be comfortable with, he travels 5-star always.  This property is amazing with porches, outside areas for children, fire pit and multiple levels of interaction.  Our time here was comfortable exquisite and grand.  Every amenity provided and the beds and furniture were top notch.  Don’t hesitate to rent this beautiful property on the New River, you pay for what you get!  We will visit again and recommend 5-star to any interested!  Fine exclusive property.  So happy to have it for our son’s wedding at the Barn.  They actually pointed this option out to us when booking their venue.  Owners very accommodating for special requests."
