We rent 2-3 vacation homes a year and this was one of our favorite rentals in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. It is also only 20 min to the Appalachian Ski area. The home is a beautifully decorated comfortable modern log cabin with ample space for our family of 5 and our dogs. The cabin is perfectly located in a wooded area on a quiet side road so it feels private but very close to the main historic downtown areas of both towns (15 min or so). The fenced year was perfect for our dogs to get some outdoor time. The host was fantastic to communicate with and I really appreciated his prompt replies when we were getting ready to book as well as wrapping up our stay. Everything was fantastic and we will 100% stay here when we return next year!

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation. The hosts were very responsive. The cabin itself was well decorated and had everything we could want. We've stayed at homes before that looked nice online but were run down in person. This was not the case here. You can tell the owners take pride in their home.
