Private Cottage With Great Surroundings

Welcome to Appalachian Escape!

Appalachian Escape is a fun, family-friendly mountain cottage on a nicely landscaped, virtually private property surrounded by mature woods. There is a wonderful outdoor wood-burning fireplace and stone courtyard to enjoy. The open-air deck is partly covered and wraps around the side of the house. The rear deck has a gas grill, outdoor dining space, and a screened porch. There are two Juliette decks upstairs that offer additional outdoor areas.

The main floor offers an open-concept living room, dining area, kitchen, hardwood floors, and tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams.

The ensuite bathroom boasts an oversized tile shower and double vanity. The second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed, an HDTV, and private access to the rear deck. Next to the queen bedroom is a full bathroom with a tub and shower. This bathroom is also central and convenient to the rest of the main floor.

At the top of the stairs is a game room/loft with a seven-foot custom-made pool table and a large-screen HDTV. An open-air Juliette deck off the loft overlooks the backyard.

Cozy Winter Away
The group enjoyed ours staying there, though it was a rainy weekend. The cabin was nice and clean inside as well. We were a little nervous about the road, but it was okay since there was no snow. The two problems we had was the wifi, a bit unstable even after we reset it. Also, the room upstairs with a double bed was cold, and you could feel the wind blowing thru the window; we had to move on the second night. Overall, everything is good, fast response, and good management.

Beautiful Location, Be Prepared to Unplug
The location of the home is ideal, and it’s just a short walk from the home to an amazing mountain view. Despite some hiccups with the wifi, the property manager went above and beyond to resolve our issues, and we were especially grateful knowing that our stay was during the holidays.

Beautiful cabin!
The cabin was beautiful inside and out but there was no trash bags and one bathroom did not have hand soap. Also the grill propane tank was stuck on close so we were not able to grill some burgers like planned. Other than these minor things we had a great stay! The customer service was great! We arrived about 6pm and had issues opening the door but the rental company answered and helped us immediately.

Perfect spot
The house was a great fit for what we needed. There were 12 adult guys and we each had our own bed. The house has internet as well as direct TV and is was close to all that we needed. The house could use some updating and maybe a little more detailed cleaning but for us it was a great fit for a short stay.

Average stay
The stay was fine but these 3 issues made our stay not so good :- 1. Cleanliness was not up to the mark 2. There was no way to communicate with the property owner even when we had an issue with car getting stuck on slope to the house

A Family Vacation
My two sons and four granddaughters celebrated Christmas in July. We were unable to get together for any holidays this past year so I planned a holiday for my sons, their 2 college students and two upcoming high school students. We loved the layout and all the living spaces. The 4 twin beds in the girls room need to be replaced with new mattresses as the ones there are worn out. New cooking pans also need to be replaced. I would recommend this place for its beauty and location. Bring your own pots.

Great house for kids
Convenient location between Boone and Blowing Rock. There is not a mountain view but with a dog and small children we were thankful for minimal stairs and the large yard to play in. Secluded down somewhat overgrown driveway so very private and quiet. Tastefully decorated. Only complaint with cleanliness was everything was pretty significantly dusty, blinds, fans, furniture, lamps etc.

Great time!
We went to the cabin for a weekend getaway with family and friends, and we had a great time! The cabin looked just as the pictures advertised. Tons of room and beds for small children and bigger adults. Check-in and out was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we just went down the road for groceries. The refrigerator leaked some but nothing terrible. My only suggestion is if you plan on visiting, bring a flashlight. The fire pit is beautiful, but there are no lights out there to guide your steps and the path is rocky.

Beautiful & Comfortable
The house and surrounding area are beautiful! The yard was great for the kids to play and explore. We also took a scenic walk around the loop. Beds and sitting areas were comfortable. Kitchen was alright, but we did not do much cooking. Overall the house was clean, however for a rental property I would encourage the owners to require a slightly more thorough cleaning. Specifically under the shelves in the kitchen, under the beds, etc. We had a baby with us who gets into everything...otherwise we never would have noticed. We loved our time at Punky’s Place and would certainly consider staying here again!!

Punkeys Place.
We were disappointed that the screened porch was not heated as advertised. We had chosen this property with Covid in mind because that would hello us stay socially distanced. Without the heat, it was not warm enough to use. We also counted on the picnic table at the fire Pit, but it was not there. Wet contacted the property manager, but he never called us back.

Great property for quiet, remote location.
The cabin was very nice and well kept. It was decorated nice, very comfortable and well furnished. There were a few small issues with cleanliness, but overall it was good. The sink in the downstairs secondary bathroom was blocked with hair and the master shower had a similar problem. Each light switch was labeled and that was very nice! Check in/out process was a breeze. The property was very private and quiet. There was rain and very heavy fog during our stay so it was difficult to traverse the mountain at night. Not a fault, just good to know if you have difficulty seeing.

Gorgeous cabin
We had a fabulous time staying at Punky’s Place in Boone, NC. Everything was great and the pictures were accurate of the cabin. The only 2 things I could comment on negatively was that the bathroom near the queen bedroom wasn’t cleaned throughly (we found a used washcloth left behind and the tub was dusty) and the tub was slow to drain which made it a slipping hazard when taking a bath. Other than that the stay was great!
