Space for everyone and then some. This mountain cabin was amazing. The driveway is steep and I would say 2 cars max, but the house itself was more than amazing! Well equipped kitchen that even has an ice maker in the freezer! The water was even drinkable from the tap. Plenty of extra blankets and there was enough seating throughout the place that it could accommodate a small army. The game room was a bonus and the host was exceptional. Very attentive and responded quickly. Best host I have had honestly We will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in Boone. The place was clean, cozy, and very well maintained, and its close proximity to downtown, skiing, and hiking spots made our trip especially memorable. The host was extremely responsive and helpful, and everything was exactly as described. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.The only challenge we experienced was parking — the driveway is quite steep and sharp, so we would not recommend bringing more than two vehicles.
