Escape to The River's Call Inn, a one-of-a-kind barn house experience just feet away from the Hungry River, nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy playing with the miniature goats, fishing for rainbow trout, and playing in the river...all while on the property!

A SIMPLER TIME
Relax and let the river's song sooth your soul from every bit of the 10.5 acre property. Enjoy the pattering of the evening rain on the tin roof, while rockin' away your blues with river-front views on the large old-fashioned covered porch – complete with Adirondack rocking chairs and a delightful moonshine bar. Play with the adorable miniature goats and then take an exhilarating dip to cool off, or explore the river bed to hunt for arrowheads or stack rocks. Play a fun-filled game of cornhole, or test your lassoing skills with a practice steer head. Under a starry-filled night share stories and memories around the fire pit, or join in on an entertaining game of giant Jenga. Then finish the night by escaping to the large old-fashioned back porch for a relaxing soak in the hot tub.

THE LAYOUT
Enjoy a 1940's barn renovated into a unique 4 bedroom, 2 bath getaway. Its clean, farmhouse charm creates the perfect home away from home. Downstairs is a family room with sofa bed and two large master suites – each with a queen bed and shared full bathroom. Upstairs has a kitchen w/ island seating, a full bathroom, living room with sofa bed, dining table, and two bedrooms – each with a full-sized bed. Snuggle up into plush white linens, and crack open your window for nature's own river lullaby. Wake up to a cheerful kitchen stocked with all of the comfort amenities of home. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and take a seat at one of the bistro tables on the upstairs porch for a tree-top view of the river while being serenaded by a morning chorus of birds.

Goats
Feel free to visit the goats if you'd like!

Pets
The barn house is pet-free to help keep it clean and hypoallergenic. You will probably see two adorable cats out roaming the grounds - Shino and Miss Marilyn. They love to be petted and held, but please don't invite them inside. They have been loving the great outdoors for over 15 years now! You might also see Mark or Katrina out walking Blu and Jax. Although they are very loving, it is best to admire their cuteness from afar since they are puppies and still learning manners.
