Cute cabin with a nice location in the neighborhood. There is a trail right outside the back door down to the river and is walkable to the clubhouse. Kitchen has essentials but not a surplus. We enjoyed our stay and Susan was amazing!

Weekend Getaway

Property was excellent, everything was clean and provided--could not ask for much more with the property. Loved the turn table and listened to some old records that were provided. Clubhouse never seemed to be open, but the trails were great and watching the deers was a good treat. Roads were crazy getting to the place--but that is expected driving in the mountains. Enjoyed exploying the surrounding areas.

The house and property were great. The community clubhouse needs work. The paddle boats were out of commission. No water in pool and the walking trials could be easily marked for people to enjoy.

Early Christmas getaway

Spent 3 days here the weekend before Christmas and it was the perfect relaxing time for our family. The house was decorated for the holidays making it that much better.We lost our heat halfway through the stay but the owner supplied us electric heaters to hold us over until the HVAC guy could come.

Cheery Getaway

The cabin was very nice and very well stocked with cooking utensils, supples and linens. It was in close proximity to the clubhouse, lake and pool. The only thing that we didn’t like was the pool was closed for a private event and we weren’t told about that until a short while before it was closed. We were out doing other things and planned to swim in the evening. So that should have been told like early that day or the day before. Kids were disappointed not to swim our last evening there!

Nice Property

We booked our stay for a short weekend get-away with our dogs. We chose the property because of the trails available and the lake. The house was lovely and very clean. And, very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. We could not find any trail heads with parking and there is no swimming in the lake, which is we brought our dogs. Overall, great property and very relaxing.

Wonderful Brief Getaway

We decided to take the “long way home” as part of a longer trip and detoured to this cabin for a couple days. Clean cabin. Very relaxing setting. Relatively easy access to Boone and Blowing Rock. All around good trip and wonderful experience.

Lovely cabin

This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with a rental. The communication before, during and right before check out was fantastic. They gave very thorough check in and check out instructions, making both processes seamless. The cabin was clean and very well stocked. The manager of Moonlight Cabins did not miss a single detail. There was plenty of towels, blankets, games, books, etc. and a large binder with information about the property/community and all the attractions and local activities. The beds were very comfortable and there was even an extra fluffy blanket put under all the comforters so we’d stay warm during the night. My kids were especially grateful for that nice touch since they were sleeping in the basement. The decorations and furnishings were all very nice, stylish yet still homey. I really have nothing bad to say or any suggestions to make! It was a wonderful stay.

This cabin is very clean and well maintained. If you want a remote location while still close to Boone - this place is it. We had an A+ experience. Will be back.
