River House is not only a North Carolina Bed and Breakfast but a Country Inn that's really in the country, located in Grassy Creek, North Carolina in the Blue Ridge mountains and directly on the historic New River. There's a mile of riverfront for strolling, wading, tubing, canoeing and fishing. Brown trout and rainbows abound. Walking trails wind through 160 acres.
Our neighbors include deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, a great blue heron, eagles and an occasional bear - just no mosquitoes. Most of our twelve uniquely decorated guest rooms are converted farm buildings with king-size beds, private bathrooms, jacuzzis, art, books and country antiques. That is reason enough to visit River House but the food is another.
Elegant but unpretentious, the River House restaurant is known for its great food and ambiance. Only minutes from West Jefferson and forty-five minutes from Boone, River House is the first choice for fine dining in the Ashe County High Country area. The restaurant offers regional and international fine dining, an excellent wine list, and a full-service bar with all ABC permits.

Services
All of our rooms are pet-friendly; all have private baths; and most have king size beds, large whirlpool tubs and gas log fireplaces.
Most of our guest rooms are in converted farm buildings behind the main house.
We'd much prefer to be less literal - to have you open a creaky old door and be surprised to find the king-size bed, the big Jacuzzi, the gas-log fireplace, the art, the books - but since you insist.

No bones about it!
Pets are loved and welcomed if they are clean, quiet and can hold their liquor.
No size/weight limitations or breed restrictions.
There is however a pet fee of $25 per visit.

Doesn't it sound nice to be able to go on a relaxing, intimate vacation and be able to bring your pet along?
