Welcome to New River Lure!

About 20 miles to Boone, less than 8 miles to West Jefferson, and less than 9 miles to Jefferson, this cabin is convenient to many fun things to do in the High Country. Located only a few miles off Highway 421, guests from Charlotte, Raleigh, or other areas east can get to this cabin faster than most other High Country destinations.
There are numerous areas nearby to drop off your rafts and friends, take a vehicle to a pick-up spot a few miles away, and spend an afternoon rafting down the New River. Nearby river guide services will get you geared up for tubing, kayaking, or rafting. Many guided fly-fishing and reel-fishing options exist for native and released trout, small-mouth bass, and other native sport fish.
Also nearby are Appalachian Ski Mountain (30 miles), Sugar Mountain Ski Resort (40 miles), and Beech Mountain Ski Resort (47 miles) for snow skiing and snowboarding, ice skating, and snow tubing.

Grandfather Mountain is only about 38 miles away. Blowing Rock and Valle Crucis are both around 30 miles from the cabin. Many fun activities are in and near Jefferson and south towards Wilkesboro.

The cabin itself is a charmer! It has five sleeping areas, 4 with beds and one with a sleeper sofa. The main level boasts vaulted tongue-in-groove ceilings, wood walls and floors, and large windows to let in the sunlight. The great room has a stone, floor-to-ceiling fireplace with gas logs, an HDTV, and comfy leather furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped, and a dining table seats six. Also on the main level are two queen bedrooms with HDTVs and a full bathroom in the hallway with a tub and shower combo.
Upstairs features a loft-style master suite with a king-size bed, an HD Smart TV, a desk for quiet work, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Downstairs is a family room with a game room and a den. The den serves as a media area with comfy, casual furniture, a large HDTV with a DVD player, and a queen-size sleeper sofa for extra sleeping options. The game room has an eight-foot slate pool table with a ping pong topper. The family room is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the wooded property and the New River. A sleeping area on the lower level has two twin beds and a full bathroom with a shower.
The main level deck is wrap-around and partly covered but mostly open-air, with Adirondack-style chairs and gliders and a gas grill. The lower deck is covered and features a hot tub and a porch swing. The decks and porches have wooded privacy, and you can look down at the New River as it meanders through the mountains!
New River Lure has central heating and air conditioning, a washer and dryer, HD Smart TVs throughout, digital cable programming, and WiFi internet. You have so much to enjoy out and about in the nearby high country, but on rainy or lazy days, there is plenty to enjoy and keep you entertained at the New River Lure.
