Christmas Trip

I chose this property because of it's proximity to Tweetsie. This was an extended family trip to ride the Tweetsie Christmas Train. How exciting that we could see the Tweetsie Christmas lights from the property!! The house was perfect for our grandchildren who vary in age from 18 months to 12 years with plenty of activities to keep them happy from basketball to air hockey to puzzles, books and games. It was also very clean and stocked with many starter items from kitchen to bath. I would recommend this property highly and give it 5+ stars!! We hope to go back again!

Easy Access to Tweetsie, Blowing Rock & Boone

Overall we had a great stay and the house was just what we needed. The house is located across the street from Tweetsie and only takes seconds to get there. The house is also located close to Blowing Rock and Boone and you can get to either in a matter of minutes which was nice. A few days after our stay we received a request to pay for damage to the property. They told us all of the pillow shams in the bunk room were physically ripped at the seams. For us this was an unfortunate and disappointing ending to a great stay, because two of the beds in that room were never used or physically touched by anyone in our family.

Awesome Mountain Retreat

I cannot say enough good things about this home. The location is excellent. Near stores, downtown Boone, ski resorts, and restaurants. Even though you are close to town, the house is still tucked away in a private location. There is so much to do on the property. There is a creek with a swing, fire pit, land to explore and the inside is 100% amazing. The host was extremely friendly, easy to get a hold of and very accommodating. The house has three floors, with games on the bottom, main floor and top floor with loft and master. It was spotless, cozy and welcoming. Everything worked well and we had no trouble connecting to wifi. Perfect in every way.
