Sparta House | 10 Star River Front Retreat - Water Sports, Hiking, Campfires by the River

2 Bedroom House in Sparta

Riverfront Home 2 Bed/2 Baths, River sports, 4 acres, PETS Ok
This house sits directly on the New River and has 4 acres on the N.C. and Virginia state lines. The New River is at it’s widest part here at over 300 ft. and is quite different from the nearby Little River, which indeed is little. In the summer it is 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, ie Asheville, N.C. since it gets it’s weather pattern from Canada rather than the South. Stroll the grassy river walk alongside the New River. Enjoy the COOL weather. Close to Sparta, NC and Independence, VA and the Blue Ridge Parkway with the historic New River in the front yard. You can kick back on the porch, listen to the tinkling brook that runs directly beneath the open-air deck with it’s soaring cathedral ceiling, and watch the sun go down over the river. In the Fall enjoy a roaring fire and very comfortable furniture in jewel of a cabin. This two-story, post-and-beam house sits on 4 pristine acres of woods, directly overlooking the New River. Though relatively compact at 1,600 square feet, the house has four distinct sleeping areas, including two generous bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed; the main bedroom also has a pullout chair that makes into a twin sized bed. There is a charming children's alcove with a small pull out love seat in the second bedroom. In the living room (with stacked-stone fireplace) overlooking the river, there is a large convertible sofa. You can also relax and nap on the two adjoining side and front porch and deck.
The modern kitchen with built-in island has windows overlooking the woods and ferns in back of the house; a separate dining room overlooks the river. Both the house and it’s kitchen are fully furnished and linens are provided.
Outside, the immediate surrounds are lushly landscaped with willows, raspberry bushes, silky dogwoods, and roses. Behind the house is a meadow and wooded hillside home to abundant wildlife including geese, hawks, deer, wild turkey, fox, and beavers.
Perfect for families, individuals, or small groups wanting to get away from it all.
Ten miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the property is close to the VA state line, about 30 miles north of I-77 on U.S. Hwy. 21. Neighboring settlements within driving distance include Sparta, NC (good groceries, fun shops downtown, and a handful of restaurants), and Independence, VA (quaint courthouse, great grocery store, compact downtown good for an afternoon stroll).
Come for a quiet peaceful retreat or if you prefer, get active and hike, fish, canoe or kayak the river; in warm weather, you'll want to go tubing and swimming in the clear cold water. Blue-grass festivals and local artists abound; junk stores and antiquing are there for those so inclined; and some very fine potters have set up shop in bohemian-style settlements nestled in the rolling farmland outside Sparta.

Summary: This cabin is a perfect place for a quiet getaway. Right on the river and very private. True to the listing, this property has everything needed whether there for a week or just a long weekend. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful views of the river from the covered porch! Charlie and Jill are so nice and always there to help should anything come up. We've stayed several times at this cabin and every time our stay has been perfect! Looking forward to our next visit!

Summary: This was our second time back at Charlie and Jill's property. We love it and we love them. They are fantastic hosts. Always available if we need them. I feel like we are friends at this point. The house is always clean and there was plenty of wood to burn. Hell they even had a bag of charcoal for the grill. We can't wait to get back in the spring when we can enjoy the porch, the water and the views. Thanks again Charlie and Jill!

Summary: Enjoyed special days with significant other and close friend at this beautiful mountain home. The house was exactly as described - we enjoyed time in the river including some kayaking and fishing. Our dogs were in heaven as well and we all loved the views from the porch and the sounds from the babbling brook. Extremely well-kept and comfortable. Hosts were exceptional communicators and made the stay especially welcoming.

Summary: This is our second stay at this magical cabin, and it continues to deliver everything we want. We spent our time by the river watching the people fly fish. My favorite was listening to the babbling brook on the property providing us with relaxing white noise while sitting outside. We look forward to our next stay.

Summary: This was the second time we've stayed at the River Front Retreat, and we were delighted. The view from the porch is gorgeous, and the porch itself is wide and filled with comfortable seating plus a table and chairs for river-front dining. The house is home-like and well equipped. We shopped in Sparta and Independence and were able to find everything we needed. Our hosts Charlie and Jill were very responsive to our questions. Recommended!

Summary: This was our fourth stay at this cabin on the river! We absolutely love it. So, nice to sit out on the covered porch and listen to the stream that flows under the porch. Love the view! A most relaxing place to get away and get a break from the real world. A cozy cabin and very clean! Exactly as seen in the listing. We will go back!
