Doesn't get much better
Our family with two young kids had a great time here. The place was clean, kitchen was well equipped for at-home meals, the rooms and beds were cozy, the hot tub and grill were well-maintained and worked well for us. We connected our own devices to the screens when necessary for shows, though cable was available. Easy access to Blowing Rock or Boone. It was the hottest week of the year so far, but in this area it was 10-15 degrees cooler. I biked down the mountain to the parkway every day for a good ride. And as the picture indicates, the view from the house is spectacular. Would love to stay again in fall or winter as well.

Amazing view!!!
Our family get together was great! The house met all of our needs and then some. The hot tub and pool table were an added bonus. The view from the house is priceless. We only have one complaint. We encountered ants (small and large in the kitchen and living room) during our stay. It's an older house so this is somewhat understandable but it still took away from our overall experience.

This is our second stay and we love this old house. It’s rustic beauty brings me back each time.
Renters are easy to work with and always deal with any problem right away. I think the recliner in the family is ready to be replaced. Other than that all was great!!

Beautiful view, great location, not very clean
The view was stunning and the location was great. As other people have mentioned, you are somewhat secluded in the mountains but it is an easy drive to both Blowing Rock and Boone. I was, however, disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. - both trash cans were full in the kitchen when we arrived - sheets in the upstairs guest room had crunchy debris between them (made me wonder if they were changed since last use) - there were crumbs and dirt under the kitchen cabinets. I was able to locate the vacuum and clean with the hose attachment - the dining table was sticky, which was partly the finish (which is fine), but when I wiped it down the cloth was visibly dirty - this is not necessarily attributed to cleanliness, but just mountain living.. do not leave food or dirty dishes on the counter to the right of the sink, ants will come marching in. We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the area, it was just unfortunate that the space was not fully cleaned before our arrival.

Great view and easy access to Boone and Blowing Rock
We like to stay in this neighborhood and have done so multiple times because of the easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge parkway. Its a 10 minute drive to main street in blowing rock. The views are amazing from this home. Kids loved the downstairs game room. The hot tub was a bit dirty upon our arrival. Property management fixed the issue the next day. Good responsiveness, but would have been better if the hot tub was clean to start. This is minor, but the living room TV has three remote controls. It's a bit confusing.

Great little place for a weekend getaway
Cozy little home with a great view. When we arrived, a tech was onsite fixing an issue with the TV. We weren't made aware a tech would be there when we arrived, and he ended up being there for quite some time, but it was nice to see the owners be proactive in making sure things were fixed for their guests, and overall the tech was very pleasant. There was construction going on next door which made for noisy mornings, but that can't really be helped -- though would have been nice to be made aware of that. Overall a great stay and would stay again.

amazing views
3 women friends from college wanted a post-covid get-together. 2 of the friends had not visited the area before and had a wonderful time. The only thing that might present a problem is the availability of Uber or Lyft. The house takes some twists and turns (mountain roads) and if you are unfamiliar with the area its not a good idea to drive them at night after a glass of wine or two with dinner.

Amazing Stay!
We are both graduates of App State and loved this place for a nice getaway from Raleigh. The house is unique to the area and has nice upgrades. The heater in the bathrooms were a nice touch and the gas logs inside, gas fire pit outside, and hot tub were great. Great views of App Ski Mnt and you can hear the Tweetsie train a few times as well, which we enjoyed. Even though you are up the mountain and can see forever, you are about 3 miles from downtown boone and blowing rock. Great location and great house! We will certainly seek out to stay again.

Appalachian ski trip stay
I very much enjoyed this house. However, the dishes were dirty in the dishwasher and the appliances hadn’t been wiped down. This wouldn’t have been a big deal except.. Covid. The bathroom in the basement room wasn’t super clean either. Otherwise, the house was great. The floors were clean, the beds looked great, the game room was fun and the hot tub had a great view of the ski mountain. We really loved our time there!

Charming house with a fabulous view
We loved staying at this house! It is so charming, clean, and the view is AMAZING! It is in a great location with minutes drive to Appalachian Ski Mountain and Blowing Rock, and convenient to Boone. We also had fun playing pool and enjoying the large selection of board games and dvds. I will say that there are no pantry staples so be prepared for that if you’re planning on cooking. The only thing that was there was canola oil. I did leave behind some salt for the next guest. The dishwasher was also still loaded when we arrived. Unloading other peoples’ dishes when I l’m on vacation is not exactly what I want to do upon arrival. But these are very minor things and I just mention them to prepare the next guests. We absolutely would stay here again. Thank you for the wonderful time!

Beautiful and relaxing
We enjoyed our recent week at this cabin. It was beautiful and very comfortable. Our only issue we had was the swing bolt broke downstairs and injured my 10 year olds foot. It was repaired next day thankfully. I would recommend just to the owners to invest in a cover or roof of some sort to the porch to help make the outdoor space useable during rain to help visitors still be able to enjoy the outside even if they are cursed with bad weather on their stay. The downstairs gets just as wet below deck, that didn’t stop us from using the hot tub in the rain. 😊 We will definitely be back as the location is phenomenal and the drive up the mountain wasn’t bad. And I absolutely loved the big windows in the living room.

Birthday getaway
House was meticulously clean and very accurate to the online pics. Porch views of the mountains were super! Instructions for tv, hot tub, firepit, etc were highly detailed and much appreciated. Had one service call regarding pilot light going out in the indoor fireplace; service time wait was speedy and service person who fixed the unusual pilot light problem was professional and pleasant. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc; hot water and pressure throughout house was super. Cons: 60% of jets on hot-tub did not work for us; all 3 BA have one skinny vanity (just know that going in); dishwasher was full upon our arrival; recycle bin would be good to have. Overall, would rent again.

Spectacular!
I would just like to comment on how wonderful this place is. It has an epic panorama of mountains near and far that change with the passing clouds all day long. Really fascinating views. The interior of the home is VERY well done, from well appointed bedrooms and baths, to pool table and Jacuzzi. You have to experience this lovely place-I'm very high on it. It's just done right, and real close to everything. Love it when we find a treasure like this. Congrats to owners for a job well done.
