Welcome to the Riverview Retreat at Wanderer Guesthouse. The Riverview Retreat is one of six unique suites that has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and a private deck. In the evening, unwind at either of the two outdoor firepit areas on the property. Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we're 5 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock and 10 minutes to downtown Boone. Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, we're the perfect launching point for outdoor adventures. The Riverview Retreat is a cozy blend of comfort and privacy at the Wanderer Guesthouse. Your suite has two queen bedrooms, a full kitchen, living space, a bathroom, and the best of all: a private deck. You can hear the sound of the stream right on the property. Please note: to access Riverview Retreat, you must go down two flights of stairs. Your suite is private and set apart from the other suites (one floor above you), but you’ll also have access to a community firepit and picnic area to the left of the parking lot. Boone and Blowing Rock are the High Country’s hub for outdoor activities all year long. Choose between hiking, mountain biking, floating down the New River in inflatable tubes, berry picking, alpine roller-coaster riding, picnicking with wild ponies at Greyson Highlands, or cooling off in one of the many swimming holes and waterfalls in the area. During the winter, spend the day on one of the three ski slopes in the area (9 minutes from Appalachian Ski Mountain). Several wineries are tucked away in the mountains nearby, as well as breweries, shops, restaurants, and art galleries. No matter what you love to do or what season it is, you’ll find adventures to fill your days.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.
