Communication was great from host! Only downfall was that we were traveling with small children and wish we had known that the only AC was window units. When we shut doors for kids to sleep there was no way to cool 3 out of 4 of the bedrooms. Back area with fireplace was cool. Proximity to downtown and most activities was great.

Enjoyable home, great communication

The owner of this home was very nice and answered any questions immediately. He was flexible when we had a change in our dates of booking, which is a rarity that we appreciated. The location is convenient to Boone but not picturesque. There’s plenty of parking, but when it snowed several inches (beautiful!), we had to leave our cars down on the road due to the driveway’s steep grade, despite having a 4WD truck. It was a challenge to then walk down the slippery driveway. The home is spotless, well equipped, has a main den space with a sectional where all 6 of us could easily hang out together. Both dining tables were wonky, so we had to get inventive to stabilize them for use. The icemaker doesn’t work. The outdoor courtyard patio is a nice bonus space. Downstairs bedrooms are large and beds were comfortable, upstairs bedrooms are smaller with very firm mattresses. Our party didn’t really like that guests must walk thru one of the upstairs bedrooms to get to the other. The stairs are a little steep but not an issue for us. Bathrooms could use updating but shower pressure is great. The heating units are a combination of floorboard strips and wall units or freestanding units - they work well after you figure them out. The wall unit in the den could be a hazard for young children as there’s an open flame behind a screen that could be accessed by curious hands from the top. This is not a high-end rental but a nice convenient place to access Boone.and mountain fun.

Memorable and comfortable stay in Boone, NC

The listing was as represented and just what I wanted and expected. I was looking for comfort and ease for older family members. Easy egress to house, flat lot, not a difficult driveway, plenty of parking, comfortable and spacious living areas, great kitchen and sleeping spaces. Great communication from the host prior to my visit, so I didn't need anything from him during my stay.

Great house in Boone!

My family was in Boone for a wedding and stayed at the house for the weekend. It was on a quiet street but in a very convenient location! There were 6 adults, 1 teenager, 1 toddler and one of our dogs! The bedrooms are all good sizes and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed to prepare meals. Will definitely stay there again!

Baseball weekend

Perfect stay for family in town for a baseball game. Only complaint is we couldn't find a wine bottle opener so had to use alternative methods. Found an opener the next day in a wooden cheese board server. I put it in the drawer!! House is as described and very nice.

Wonderful Getaway

We can’t say enough about our stay in Boone at this lovely home. The house itself is very clean, it is freshly renovated with all new furniture, kitchen was well stocked for our group to prepare and serve meals. Easy access to both Boone and Blowing Rock. We loved using the fireplace for s’mores and get cozy after our hikes. Owner was very responsive with any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend staying here!!
