Please do not forget carrots for Blitzen, our miniature horse, who has big blue eyes and who smiles as he greets guests! The property is 10 minutes to ASU; and 20 minutes to Blowing Rock and ski mountains. The Space: The log Guesthouse is a studio with a large kitchen and full bath (shower & tub). It is located near the Main House. Guest Access: Guests have full access to the log Guest House and the barns, and are welcome to say hello to the horses. Please only two carrots at a time for Blitzen, due to their sugar content. He is almost 16 years old, and cannot be ridden – for your safety, for the safety of children, and for Blitzen’s safety. He is not a pony, but rather a miniature horse, who can spook. His favorite thing is running as fast as he can down the very long driveway. You can almost hear him laughing;) Please only feed carrots to the horses, and feeding and petting them is at your own risk. Children should be careful when feeding Blitzen. He does not bite, but he thinks that everything is a carrot!!!

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. We are open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday. The Sunday Salon features live music, hors d’oeuvres and a four-course Chef’s choice menu. Reservations are essential.
Breakfast is served in the main house daily between 8:30 and 10:00. While it is complimentary for overnight guests, many local residents choose to book for private business meetings or simple personal enjoyment.
On-site lunches or picnic fare may be pre-arranged, a pleasant adjunct when renting our kayaks or canoes. We will take you up-river so you can take your time floating back to us.
While you are here at our Bed and Breakfast, visit nearby sites such as New River State Park, Grayson Highlands and Mt. Jefferson. Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. Bike the popular Creeper Trail. Ride horseback at Burnt Hill Stables. Play golf at Mountain Aire Golf Course.
