We are so excited that these beautiful new bunk beds were installed in the upstairs room today. Bears Eye Furniture captured the rustic cabiny feel that this room needed! We can’t wait for our kids and family and guests to enjoy them!!!!

There is still time for fun! We just released Sept 21-25 due to a conflict in our schedule. Also don’t forget December is a great time to visit Ashe county and hand pick your fresh Christmas tree.

The mountains are calling! We had to cancel our personal stay for this weekend which opens up a rare availability at the Riverbend Retreat. This is actually the last open weekend until mid November. We hope someone can enjoy the Riverbend Retreat in its prime summer glory!

Stargazing is always great at the Riverbend Retreat! While it was a bit cloudy tonight, we still had a great view of the big dipper.

It’s going to be hot!!!! Wish I could be rolling down the New River the next few days. The summer is pretty full but there are still July 10-15 and some late August dates available.

Our neighbor Riverside Restaurant now has beer and cocktails!

Happy Friday High Country from Riverside Restaurant and Provisions!!

The summer is here faster than we all expected. Come on in and grab an ice cold BEER! BEER! BEER! on these hot days. Yes you read that correctly! The long wait is over and our sports club is finally finished. Starting today and for this weekend we have a small variety of beer options. We will offer Mimosa's and Bloody Mary's starting Saturday morning. Speaking of Saturday morning we will open up a bloody Mary bar from 8am-2pm on Saturday mornings. If you are not familiar with a bloody Mary bar we give you spirits and ice in a glass and we will have a salad buffet of condiments where you can create your own personalized drink. Also starting on Saturday you can grab a refreshing margarita. Since we are a sports club everyone will need to pay a small annual membership fee in order to purchase alcohol. By next weekend we will have a much larger beer selection to kick off the summer.

We have live music next Saturday for Memorial Day Weekend on the back lawn by the river and encourage everyone to come out for seafood and bbq baskets.

This weekend we are running flounder baskets, shrimp baskets, seafood baskets and bbq plates for dinner specials in addition to our normal menu. We look forward to seeing you all here.

Cheers!
