Family Stay

Good location. Close to Boone. Off main road. Will need AWD to get onto property during snow/ice/freeze. Clean and well maintained. Great internet. Hot tub functioned well and very large. Make sure to turn it up and then down when you leave. HVAC worked well. Turn Heat on and then off later. Spacious. Right across from App. Ski resort. We also went to Beech.

Thanksgiving Weekend Tradition

Very clean and cozy. Easy to access. Convenient to Boone and Blowing Rock. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. My husband and I rent a cabin every Thanksgiving weekend and my daughter, her husband and 3 grandchildren come to find the perfect Christmas tree. Perfect weekend filled with good food and sweet memories.

Long Weekend Getaway

The five of us snuck away for a long weekend, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The location is between Boone and Blowing Rock, offering easy access to both. The house was clean and efficient. It has everything to offer home convenience without the extras you don't need or want. The basement was a great space for the youngsters to play, while the firepit and hot tub offered just enough outdoor activity. 5/5 would choose to stay here again.

Beautiful clean home

This home was beautiful and very well maintained. It was very clean inside and well stocked with everything we could have wanted. Location is great! It is enough in the mountain to give that secluded feel but close enough to the main road to make getting places very easy. Close to all the activities in Boone as well as Blowing Rock and some beautiful hiking trails! Access into the home was flawless and Brandon the host was a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend this home and would stay here again if ever in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this house, which is conveniently located near Blowing Rock and Boone as well as numerous hiking trails and attractions. Communication with the host was great. The only addition I would make would be a couple of more place settings for the kitchen.

Ski Weekend with young child

We will be back!! We loved this property! This home was so comfortable and cozy; everything you could want in a mountain house. It was extremely clean and well stocked. Had everything… an extremely well stocked kitchen, pack n play, toddler bed rail, shampoo & condition, lotion, etc. The downstairs laundry room was huge and perfect for all your snow gear when you come in. The upstairs king bed was very comfortable and we slept great (mattress in the firm side). There are a lot of stairs, so if you had young children or trouble with stairs I could see that being a little tough. We had our four year old with us and had no issues. The location is amazing. So close to Boone, Blowing Rock, App Ski mountain, Tweetsie, etc. We also easily went to Hawksnest for snow tubing and Banner Elk for dinner. I see our family returning for ski weekends in the future!
