Welcome to Casa Rio!
Casa Rio is a beautiful log cabin on the Watauga River in Valle Crucis with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. You will find custom log beams, columns, and handrails throughout, with hand-crafted branch balustrades. All of the beds have hand-hewn log frames. If "mountain elegance" is what you are seeking, and on the river as well, Casa Rio delivers!
Located only a mile from the historic Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Riverfront Park, Casa Rio is also convenient and central to all the High Country offers. Boone is only 5 miles away, Banner Elk is about 9 miles away, and Blowing Rock is only 11 miles away. Snow skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and ice skating are nearby, with Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Appalachian Ski Mountain about 12 miles and Beech Mountain Ski Resort only 14 miles away. Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zip Lines is only about 11 miles from the cabin. Grandfather Mountain is less than 15 miles away, and Tweetsie Railroad is only 10 miles from Casa Rio.
The main level of Casa Rio features an open floorplan with a foyer entry boasting high vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors. Immediately on your right are a laundry room and full bathroom. Further inside, you find a central, wood-burning fireplace with dramatic floor-to-ceiling stonework, open on both sides so guests can enjoy it from the dining area and the great room. A banquet-style dining table seats up to 8 guests. Entertaining is easy with the additional counter-height 4-seat table and three bar stools at the center kitchen island. The kitchen has gorgeous granite counters, high-end stainless appliances and is centered around a gas cooktop with custom stone accents above. The adjacent great room has two leather sofas, positioned conversationally, offering a view of the fireplace and the big screen HD Smart TV.
The king master suite with an HDTV, and a sliding glass door leading to a rear patio, is on the main level. You can hear and see the Watauga River. There is a generous ensuite master bathroom with slate tile floors, his and hers vanity, a large walk-in closet, an open stone shower, and a circular jetted soaking tub in the center of the bathroom.
Upstairs offers flanking bedrooms, one with a king bed and an HDTV, the other with two twin beds and two twin trundles (sleeps four), and an HDTV. A full central bathroom with a tub and shower services both upstairs bedrooms. The open loft has a new slate pool table, an HDTV, and comfy leather furniture.
Off of the kitchen and great room is an open-air deck with a view of the big backyard and the Watauga River. It features a gas grill, an outdoor dining table, and chairs. Below the main level deck, at ground level, is a covered patio with a hot tub and lounge-style seating, just a step up from the backyard, which slopes gently down to the Watauga River and features a wood-burning fire pit.
Located in Vilas, this cabin is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Beech Mountain Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Pisgah National Forest and Grandfather Mountain. Tweetsie Railroad and Magic Mountain Mini Golf and Arcade are also worth visiting. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, and don't miss out on the ice skating and sledding.
