Great weekend stay!

Loved our stay at the Riverfront Cabin. It was beautifully appointed and well-equipped. Communication with management was smooth and effortless. We received a detailed email with check-in instructions and codes prior to arriving, and everything went as planned. The outside decks were amazing and we enjoyed drinking morning coffee or an evening glass of wine overlooking the river. Our kids loved the loft, and the space was perfect for a family of four for a weekend getaway.

A Great Retreat

We were very impressed with the quality of this property from the amenities, cleanliness, and the excellent communication with the property manager Joanie. The only downside is it’s proximity to the road. There was little more road noise than I prefer which could be a deal breaker for some. Despite that it’s definitely a 5 star property and worth renting.

Great cabin, property manager and location to food!

My sister's and I very much enjoyed this cabin and it's proximity to the river. The sound of the river among the fall color was spectacular. The cabin was solid, very clean and had everything we needed. Local restaurants were great. Town's people were friendly. I would definitely come back to this area. The only drawback with this particular cabin is it's proximity to the road - there is a good bit of noise from it. Everything else was perfect though so if you don't care about cars/trucks going by, this cabin is awesome! A special thanks to Joanie for all her helpfulness! She rocks!

Simply LOVED this cabin!!

Beautifully cozy and elegant cabin with high end rustic decor. Yes, it sits close to the road (the road follows the river) but road sounds were not bothersome and the sounds of the river far outweigh them. It was very soul-soothing to sit out on the deck. Cabin has all necessities, including basic pantry and bath supplies. Joanie with the management company was so friendly and helpful and was there at check in to show us around. No gas starter in the fireplace and you will likely want to bring more than the 3 provided fire starters. Delivery of firewood is very convenient but a bit pricey ($100 for about $50 worth of wood). Town of Banner Elk is lovely with some great restaurants, wineries and breweries nearby. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Awesome Anniversary Getaway

We had a fabulous time at The River Sound Cabin celebrating our 20th Anniversary! Cabin and multiple decks were exactly as the pictured. We walked into a clean and modern cabin that was perfect for the two of us celebrating a special occasion. We enjoyed the lower deck in the late afternoons listening to the water from the Elk River with a glass of wine. Only recommendations we have are: to have steak knives and a steamer pot for vegetables. We cooked/grilled every night but one. I’m a lucky lady in that my husband loves to cook and is a great chef! We had grilled trout, a grilled ribeye, and grilled lamb chops 3 of the 4 nights there. No steak knifes for the steak and lamb chops though. For the vegetables, we were able to improvise for the steamer pot to steam asparagus. We enjoyed the Banner Elk community and Blowing Rock (drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway is breathtaking). We will be back!!

Amazing Cabin and Excellent Owner

The River Sound cabin was a perfect place for our small family! Conveniently located near the Elk River and close to a beautiful hike with a waterfall on the Lodges at Eagles Nest property. Everything you could need is supplied in the cabin and the owner was super helpful and came out within minutes when we needed him. Joanie was very attentive with texting us before we checked in and at departure to make sure everything went well. We love River Sound and the surrounding area. We'll be back for sure!!!
