The cabin definitely needed a deep cleaning. There was no shade on the bathroom upstairs window. The shade on the downstairs bath kept falling down. All the things on the walls were really covered in dust and webs.The hot tub was very nice and of course the creek was nice.
Lots of heads.

Beautiful cabin with a great location and amenities. Perfect for a family get away. Well maintained and cozy. Management was very responsive to all questions. The road into the property is somewhat uneven, so AWD in bad weather is highly recommended!

Hot Tub and Creek are Excellent

We really enjoyed our time by the creek. The sound of the waterfall is just excellent. We spent nearly all our time in the hot tub or by the creek and that was wonderful for the entire family. There were a couple of things that can be better - this is the worst stocked rental I’ve been in. Normally you can count on some condiments in the fridge, trash bags, etc so you don’t need to bring absolutely everything, but this rental expected you to bring everything except for soap.-cleanliness could be better, my infant son found an old bandaid while crawling on the floor in the living room.- the lighting inside was challenging, the main spaces were either too dark or lit by harsh fluorescent ceiling lights.-the creek has been significantly impacted by flooding from Helene and doesn’t look at all like the photos online. While this obviously isn’t the owners fault, it has been six months since the storm and the pictures should be updated.

Spacious, clean and quiet

This was a great spot for a family gathering (dogs included!). It’s a beautiful spot along the creek. It was quiet and clean and had plenty of space. The downstairs bathroom was chilly in the winter, and the road was a little rough coming in, but those things were both manageable. The property managers were very prompt and helpful with communication.

Easy-Peazy

This is a good house. Easy to get to off the main road. If you travel in the winter you will need 4WD. The house has everything you need for an easy stay. Beds are comfortable. Hot tub was excellent and worked great. View of river was beautiful for morning coffee. This house isn’t super fancy. But if you don’t need frills it’s perfect. My ONLY complaint is the towels provided smelled mildewed. Other than that, the house was great gift a long weekend.

Other than the cabin needs a really deep clean(stains on carpet, smells dirty, deer heads and beams are so dusty. And found a woman’s earring in our bed, the creek was absolutely lovely. Clean it up and we will come back every year.

This place exceeds expectations

The ONLY criticism we would have is the road to and especially the driveway to the house! The road had pretty severe water damage and if my SUV weren’t all wheel drive we would not have made it up the driveway to the house! The house was well appointed, clean and comfy, the hot tub was clean and awesome and the sounds from the waterfall/creek could be heard everywhere! All in all this place exceeded our expectations!

Good location on a beautiful backyard stream

It was an excellent home for a small to mid-sized group located I short drive into Boone or Banner Elk. Other homes were relatively close by so not secluded by any means, but also sufficiently private for our party. Pricing was also reasonable compared to many other options. I would recommend 4 wheel drive in the winter but it was a safe and clear drive a short distance in from the main road.

Perfect mountain getaway

The sounds of the flowing creek added that extra element of relaxation to our trip. It was great to sit out on the porch and drink coffee in the morning & relax in the hot tub at night. The home was comfortable & clean. The hill up to the house could be a little tricky, but luckily we had a SUV.

Beautiful property!!!

Overall satisfaction is excellent! Clean, well cared for “home away from home.” Beautiful scenic location. Attention to detail to feel welcome. Suggestions: We arrived after dark. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THERE WAS A PROPERTY TO THE RIGHT COULD NOT SEE ADDRESS. Suggest a solar light on the address of the property. Very scary and dangerous to arrive in the dark having never seen the property. Secondly: Although very clean, extremely musky smelling. Perhaps damp humidifiers placed throughout the property? Thirdly: The propane tanks were essentially empty. Within 5 minutes of trying to grill burgers, propane was gone. Later read in notebook that the guest is responsible for the tank, and will even be reimbursed from rental company. By then, was too late & I had to transfer food to kitchen to complete cooking. Caught off guard about that. If the rental company is willing to reimburse for tank refill, I believe it would have been a MUCH BETTER EXPERIENCE if one of the 2 tanks would have been somewhat full. We are visitors in the area with no idea where to have tank filled even had we been aware it was necessary. Lastly: The hot tub was never able to heat up to a hot temperature any greater than a warm tub water. We kept the cover on to try to raise temperature, but never was able to reach a temperature over 90 degrees. Disappointing! These are opportunities for improvement. I thank the property owners for pet friendly. We were grateful & responsible!

Wonderful setting right on Valley Creek and a beautiful set of waterfalls. Great location in Seven Devils within a 20 minute drive to 4 golf courses: Boone, Sugar Mountain, Mountain Glen and Linville Land and Harbor. The cabin has a great wrap around porch, a clean hot tub, modern kitchen, and a wonderful great room with a large TV. Only downside is no AC, and we did have a couple of warm humid days.
