Cooking utensils are plentiful, has most everything you’d want in a kitchen. Loved gas fire place, outdoor fire pit, also enjoyed using outdoor grill area (TV unusable at grill) and hot tub. The view from large front window of house was great, was able to watch a group of turkeys pass through front one morning! House was clean inside and well furnished with seating options throughout the house inside and outside. Few concerns- were the large amount of fallen leaves piled up at steps to entrance and hot tub upon arrival, which we cleared with a snow shovel and garden rake. The beds upstairs are in need of updating compared to master on main floor and downstairs bed, there’s a huge difference in support. The bottom mattress on bunk bed is just a thin fold up vinyl mattress, for small child NBD, however my young daughter shared the room w/ my other daughter and found it to uncomfortable to sleep on and made other sleeping arrangements. Overall we enjoyed the stay and would consider using again in the future with a smaller group, we had 13 adults during our weekend stay. We notify property manager about large amount leaves piled up, however they were unable to have the lawn service come out on short notice.

Beautiful home, kitchen set up a little bit confusing, and not necessarily efficient use of space, plenty of bedroom and bathroom space for the seven of us that one of the bedrooms with the Murphy bed a bit small, particularly for somebody who has some mobility challenges, toilet tissue, not well stockedThe outdoor space was beautiful as well that we couldn't use it because of the weather and because it really needed some outdoor landscaping maintenance must be beautiful went well taken care of. I'm not a kind of falling leaves.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Even with a rainy week, the spacious home provided lots of room for games, puzzles, quiet reading spaces, pool, and lovely deck views. The amazing outdoor kitchen was a big hit and provided wonderful family meals. The property has easy access and plenty of parking. We also enjoyed having a great grocery store close by. Hope to enjoy another stay there soon.

The Ivey's probably get tired of guests gushing about their place, but count me as a gusher! The outdoor patio area is every bit as beautiful as the pictures indicate. We indulged ourselves with the hottub, corn hole, the outdoor grill, the firepit, darts as well as the pool table. Never a dull moment. The bedroom configuration offers plenty of privacy for everyone. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 12. Location is a perfect launch point for a variety of activities in the area. Be aware that the views from the back are not 'panoramic' of the mountains, but idyllic none-the-less. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing!

Our family of 15 had a fabulous time at this amazing property! The home is spacious, yet cozy, and was very clean. There are multiple gathering spaces, inside and out, and several spots to enjoy alone time as well. Our favorite part of the property was the outdoor kitchen area. With a grill, counter space, refrigerator, HUGE table, and a wood fire pizza oven, what else could you want? Our hostess was quick to respond to any issues and made our stay delightful.

Graduation celebration 2025

We had 14 family members to celebrate graduation for the first grand daughter on both sides- go APP! Amazing home and so comfortable! The only thing was the trash area was closed on the Sunday morning we departed, so we had to leave it by the laundry area. We loved that the family had played for App and had a fun game room, outdoors etc. Would stay again for another epic weekend!

Blended family vacation SUCCESS

We had the most amazing time! This was the first family vacation we have done with both my in laws, parents AND SIBLINGS which also included teenagers, along with our own kids. And we all had the most amazing time. There was 15 of us and everyone had their own spaces and plenty of things to do. We showed up and there was still snow on the ground and with sleds already on sight my little east coast babies got to enjoy sledding for the first time while we unloaded and got settled. We saw deer almost every morning and absolutely loved the view. The house was decorated beautifully for Christmas so we were able to just throw presents under the tree and start our vacation. We will most definitely come again! Also the eating options and pizza oven was over the top amazing, loved the outdoor tables and cooking area! Thank you for sharing your home with us and we can’t wait to come again! Also believe this would be a great summer home to vacation and explore the creek with the kids! Thank you to Art, the property manager, for making our experience so easy! God bless y'all! And merry Christmas and happy new year!

This home is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! It is centrally located between Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Boone! The home is arranged so that each bedroom space is PRIVATER and has 3 floors of living space! The playroom is great for all ages and tv's everywhere! Hot tub looked very inviting but just not enough time to use it! Kitchen and table large and easy to feed many with no problem! We had snow for a couple days and the kids slide down the front yard for hours and thoroughly all the outdoor time together! There were 15 of us and we will most certainly come back again!!!!

Lovely mountain house

The house was beautiful, clean and everything worked! The set-up was perfect for our large group of extended family. The house really had something for each age group of kids and plenty of space to play outdoors. We cooked inside and also used the outdoor grill and fire pit.
