My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. Excellent host who was easy to contact and helpful with my requests. The property is very quiet and peaceful. The inside decor is whimsical and has a definite mountain theme. The Cabin architecture is impressive. I don’t know how they got those massive logs up that mountain. It is solid. The kitchen has everything you need. Very clean. The hot tub was comfortable and extremely clean. The outdoor furniture was perfect. We loved the swing. We saw deer and wild turkeys from the deck. The charcoal grill was ok after I Googled on how to cook on it. I haven’t used charcoal in years.Nothing died in vain! It turned out well. We hired a guide from Speckled Trout and he was amazing. He took us on a private waterfall hike. Harper’s Falls. High point of our stay. We dodged rain and cool temps the rest of our stay. The hot tub was well used. We almost built a fire but didn’t. The park in Valle Crucis is soooo nice. You have a great walking trail along the river and the wood carvings of animals are beautiful.We would stay here again.

Owls Roost

This is a beautiful piece of property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were there for four days three nights. The property was very clean, very spacious, and fully furnished to our liking. There were eight people in our group, this cabin is very spacious and accommodating for all that were there. I would definitely stay at this cabin again, and I would recommend it for anyone that is looking for a place to stay.

Communication with the owner was great, cabin was awesome, and views unbelievable, but understand to get a great view you have to drive to the top of the mountain, which was a bit challenging.

The Baking Planners review

Our group loved this place! The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and the view was great. It was fairly quiet, although there were a few dogs barking nearby often. The cabin is at the very top of a mountain, the road up was rough in places because of Helene, but we were able to get up and down without 4WD. The cabin was overall nicely cleaned, there were a few places like under the beds and in closets that were dirty, but not enough to cause problems for us. The interior was gorgeous! They had left out very nice Christmas decorations for us. Everything worked very well, the Alexa was nice to have, and they have a great speaker system that has outdoor speakers near the hot tub! The hot tub has a beautiful view and was phenomenal! We had no trouble bringing our own sheets and towels and they provided plenty of information on what to bring. The beds were very comfortable for everyone. The hot water is limited, we ran out when using the Jacuzzi tub but it wasn't a huge issue. Everything was very well stocked, we had lots of anything we needed except for grilling tools. There was one light out over the dining room table. Overall it was very nice and we would definitely consider coming back!

Home away from Home

We had a wonderful weekend at this mountain Cabin, it truly felt like a home away from home. Fully stocked kitchen for easy meal preparation, comfortable living area, nice size bed rooms with very comfortable beds. Hot tub with great views was an added bonus. The owner was very responsive, and hospitable. We will definitely stay again when in the Boone area!

Walking on eggshells

I forgot to inform the owner that my brother who is 100% disabled from military service would have his service dog with him. My brother was sitting in the driveway with his service dog when the host approached him telling him that no pets were allowed on the property. My brother informed the host that the dog was a service animal, not a pet. That wasn’t good enough for the owner. The host and I talked and apologized for not informing him that my brother would have his service dog with him. That was good enough for the host, he continued to call the dog a pet and I continued to remind him that the dog was not a pet but a service dog. My brother has PTSD which is a fight for his life every day but due to the owner's aggressive behavior toward my brother, a decision was made that he had to go home. The owner told me I would have to pay an additional $100 for clean-up, here’s another quote from the owner “You probably got in only (1) round of golf - was it worth the trip? Certainly was not for us !!” So we walked on eggshells the 2 nights in this cabin, just waiting for another shoe to drop.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was wonderful and the location was a big plus. We had plenty of room for the family. The game room and the many board games in the basement and the hot tub on the deck were a big hit with all of us. The beds are all very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The living room has seating for plenty of people. There are only two minor things that I would note. The first is that you have to take your own linens. The second is there is nowhere to dump the garbage on property. You have to take it with you or run it to the landfill. Other than those two very minor items, we highly recommend this property and we would rent it again.

My family was able to use the cabin as we prepared for our son's wedding. Description was accurate and accommodations provided plenty of space and was conveniently close to the venue. Host was gracious and assisted when I wasnt able to find the check-in letter that also included access code. All went extremely well and was a great weekend.

Nice house, pleasant stay, just come prepared

Overall the house was nice with a good view. We found out after booking that you have to bring all of your own towels and linens, which is rather annoying for weekend getaway. We tried to communicate with the owner several times before the stay about parking, door code, etc. While communication was quick, the owner was not overly friendly/helpful about us having “so many cars for so few people”, referring us to the email several weeks ago when asking about the door code, etc. Also, the grill was a charcoal grill, no gas or propane so come prepared with the necessary stuff.

Large cabin for family gathering

Beautiful spacious cabin on the top of the mountain. Very curvy road up to the house. We enjoyed the comfortable deck with the rocking chairs and swing and the mountain view. Four bedrooms provided plenty of privacy for our extended family group. The kitchen is well equipped for the meals we chose to prepare together at home. Be advised: You are expected to provide your own sheets and towels. We were not advised of this until after renting.

Celebration of Life for Terry Doherty

We visited to attend the Celebration of Life for my father Terry Doherty, who lived in Valle Crucis on Red Tailed Hawk Road, close to the cabin. My mother still lives there. All three of my sons (ages 24, 22, and 8) stayed with me, as well as cousins and friends. The cabin was perfect for us, and we really enjoyed it (especially the boys who played lots of games in the basement). The view was spectacular, similar to my parents house around the corner, but a little higher. We would definitely come back.
