Family trip

Great location with easy access to Boone and Eastern Tennessee. Bit hilly - parking more than one car is a challenge but definitely not a deal breaker.

Great family stay at Casa Rio

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Rio. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days relaxing with our family. Everything was just as described. The location was excellent - quiet, secluded, yet close to town for great dining and shopping options. Great hiking and fly fishing options for nature lovers too!

Beautiful home in the NC mountains

The home was absolutely gorgeous and everything we could have wanted in a vacation spot. It was perfect for our family and convenient. It was only 10 minutes from downtown Boone and about 15 from Hawksnest, which is where we had planned to go snow tubing. We loved the hot tub at the home and the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking a lovely dinner. We would like to thank the owners of this beautiful home for allowing us to stay and would love to return one day.

Impressive property and great location

We were very impressed with this house (much larger than in photos) and all of the unique characteristics! My 7 year old son loved fishing in the stream and playing pool. Hot tub and other amenities were very nice and in good condition. This was a perfect house for our family's annual trip! Thank you!

Beautiful Mountain Home

We loved the view and the house was perfect for our needs! We enjoyed the fireplace and the kitchen was nice to prepare a meal in. Beds were comfortable. The upstairs twin room required creativity to find a way to use both trundles but we figured it out. My only minor complaint was that a hot tub fee was included in our fees but a 2 page list of rules and possible charges made us 2 scared to use it! Lol We would stay here again for sure :)

Great property, good location, clean

Overall a great stay!! This was a moms trip and the property was perfect for the 5 of us. Clean, well stocked with necessary items, comfortable beds, and good location close to Boone! Only a few minor things to add: -we arrived after dark and there were no outside lights on -the towels for hot tub were hard to find-they were located in a bin behind the couch in living room -light in master bath toilet room was burnt out -we could not find the outside trash cans at time of departure, they were located to the left of the front porch inside a closet area. Overall, great property! Highly recommend!!

Overall it was a nice getaway

Weekend getaway was generally nice. House is definitely showing it’s age and the wear of years of rental stays. Home needs some TLC and a good cleaning. The front door has no insulation and was unpleasant during our winter weekend stay. Hot tub water was cloudy. We made the best of the trip and were discounted for some inconveniences.

Beautiful home in a great location

We are from the coast, so we really loved that this home was really close to the main highways without all the curves (that we’re not used to!) that can come along with mountain rentals. The home is so beautiful, roomy, and eclectic- and we loved the wood burning fireplace in the center of the room. The only thing I wish I knew before going is this home isn’t “right” on the river. It’s a pretty steep hill to get to and from the river from the house, and we took along our young kids as well as my almost 70 year old dad and all his fishing gear. It was a hike, but they did catch fish and had a great time once they got down! All in all a great time, and just a few short minutes to the Original Mast General Store, Boone, and Blowing Rock.

Unsafe

No key code in email no service to call management took 30 mins to reach someone. Beautiful rain showers as not hot water. Can not use spa tub hot water heater isn’t big enough. Day 1 I fell through the rotted deck and had to go to the ER. Cabin company claimed the had no prior knowledge of the deck issue but they did. Going back to 2019 several reviews stating all 3 issues.

This house is beautiful, and it is the one that we booked…Not where we stayed, due to several issues

When I rented this property I was looking for water access, pool table and a hot tub. We received a call in the morning that we were leaving, that this house was not available due to numerous issues. They did send me five additional properties to look at, and we did select the one that was most comparable. (Nothing as nice as what we actually paid for) But we had zero water access and no hot tub. disappointing that these issues we’re not discovered prior to the day we were supposed to check in. The house that we did end up staying in was very quaint and nice, but not what I paid for. Also the gentleman that I spoke to, (he was very kind) to choose this cabin sent me the wrong information for the door lock code, so that was also a hassle. Where is my refund for the inconvenience? no water? No hot tub? My family and I didn’t stay in this beautiful cabin that I paid for?

Nice property but not very clean.

The home is nice and in a quiet neighborhood but wasn’t clean and wasn’t ready for an on time check in. The decks were covered in leaves. The house was dusty and candy wrappers left around the home.

House was large, plenty of places to relax & enjoy the view. Saw deer in the yard at some point each day of our stay. The pool table & hot tub are a nice addition. Really enjoyed the quiet & beauty of the place.

Spring Break

This cabin was phenomenal! We had 8 people and it comfortably fit all of us, the cots upstairs were great! Plenty of space and the hot tub was great in the evenings! This cabin came equipped with everything we needed to cook every night and was very clean and well kept. It definitely exceeded expectations! About 15-20 minutes outside of Boone depending on how fast you take the mountain roads so all in all great location! 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful but….

This cabin is very nice plenty of space and great location. But the house was not cleaned very well, lots of dust and hair on floors, windows and shelves. No dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels or garbage bags. I know these products are not required but for the price a small amount is normal in all my other VBRO visits.

Perfect getaway

My husband and I snowboard but also wanted to be off the ski mountain. We chose this cabin last minute and it was perfect. The drive is beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The hot tub and pool table were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with the supplies we needed to stay in. We will book again.

Casa Rios Visit

I am a frequent user of VRBO and visitor to the Boone NC area. So generally I have a broader history and therein expectation of what a property should be. I was over-all very pleased with my visit. All of the key elements of the property were in excellent working order despite what some earlier reviews pointed out. I was very happy. The hot tub is one of the best I have experienced and the Jacuzzi in the master is a very nice touch. Service from the rental team was also top notch. The location is excellent. Do be prepared with 4 wheel drive if there is snow or ice as the driveway in is steep. The drive is a circle with one of the entrances much easier to navigate than the other. I would recommend a footnote to this entry process to help first time renters. I was there for a business / work sabbatical so Internet was vital. I had excellent reception with Verizon. I understand that T-Mobile is not good. Thanks for a splendid visit and enjoyable use of your home.
