It was a nice surprise to have the river in the back yard. The beds were so comfortable and so much room in the kitchen and dining area. The back deck was so nice to hang out on. We will be back !!

We enjoyed a weekend at the house with family. Walked to a coffee shop. Fished on the river. The house is very well equipped…everything you could need. Great communication with the owner throughout. We plan to stay again in the future.

Nat was one of the most helpful hosts I’ve ever interacted with. He gave us so many recommendations on things to do, where to eat as well as details about the house and area, which made planning for the trip that much easier. House is located right off the blue ridge parkway for easy access to hikes and right down the street from twin river outfitters. Great stay!

Nat is the best of best when it comes to owners. He made sure we knew where to go and what to do while we were there. Comfort was ensured several times. The house is well stocked and very clean. We loved the nearby brewery, little coffee shop and ice cream spots. If you're looking for a place to stay in this area....this is it!

Truly 10/10. Lovely remodeled house that's clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The back porch is a huge bonus and we loved the games and floats. Would highly recommend!!

Our stay at The River House was absolutely perfect. The home is even more beautiful in person—charming, peaceful, and thoughtfully appointed with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to the sounds of the river and sipping coffee with that stunning view was pure magic.The property is spotless and well-maintained, with cozy furnishings and plenty of space to unwind. We especially loved being close local attractions such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Natural Bridge. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in seamless and our entire stay stress-free. It truly felt like a home away from home.

River House Had a wonderful time at the river house with family. Beautiful house with a beautiful view. Looks newly remodeled with a very nice, well equipped and spacious kitchen and a very nice covered deck for congregating and enjoying the mountain and river view. The premises were spotless clean. Close to restaurants and outfitters for the river. Nat is very friendly, helpful, and responsive.

Best VRBO experience Everything about our stay was top notch. The house is newly remodeled and everything was clean and fresh. We had a great time hanging out on the giant back patio and playing games around the large dining room table. The view of the river with the mountain behind it was breathtaking. Nat is a great owner who really cared that we had a perfect stay in his beautiful home. He was proactive with his communication and made sure we knew he'd be there if any issues arose.

Super Hiking near Buckanan Property is set on a gorgeous lot overlooking a mountain. The house is comfortable, clean, and stocked with all necessary items. We cooked most meals in and relaxed on the oversized deck swing. Our days were spent hiking. We managed 2 5-hour hikes. We liked the Little Cove Mountain/AT trial better than the Flat Top Mountain trail because it had more interesting areas and better views. Next time, we want to include kayaking (we were a bit too early in the season on this visit). Overall, great location, great property, and perfect for outdoor adventures.
