River House at Meadow Landing - Awesome Riverfront Cabin on the New River in Todd

Riverhouse at Meadow Landing is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath and 2 half-bath cabin located on the South Fork of the New River in Todd. It's very convenient to Boone and West Jefferson (20-minute drive) and has easy access year round. The location is on the east side of the High Country (10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway) so from Charlotte and Raleigh and points east you don't have to fight town traffic to get here once you get to the top of the mountain.

So, here's what you'll find when you walk in the door: foyer opens to the big open kitchen that is fully equipped and has lots of counter space and eat-in bar with two stools. You've got an open floor plan to the living area with two pull-out couches, recliner and additional seating. Living room has a flatscreen satellite TV mounted above the gas-log fireplace and a big bank of windows looking out over the river and mountains beyond. There's also a dining area with table and seating for six. Off the living room area, there's a half-bath/laundry area combo. You also have the first bedroom (king bed) and second bedroom (full size bed) which share a Jack and Jill bath that is located between them.

Stairs from the living area will take you to the lower level where you will find a second, smaller kitchen, sitting area with card table and futon, full bath, a second half-bath and an oversized third bedroom (1 full bed and two twin beds).

The property has DSL Wi-Fi internet so you can surf or grab your emails and a collection of board games stowed in the second upstairs bedroom and the downstairs sitting area for rainy days or late evenings. A second TV with DVD player is also in the downstairs sitting area.

Now, for the outside. There's a small covered porch at the main entrance and off the river side of the cabin you have two decks. Upper deck is large and open with a gas grill. Second deck beneath, accessible by steps or from lower level, is covered. Lots of lawn – almost an acre and it's almost all flat! Great for a cookout and a tossing around a football!
