Beautiful home right on the creek. Super close to main road making it very easy to get to. All the amenities were great and so enjoyable to have available. Would 100% rent again!

This place is amazing! Super clean and modern with every amenity needed. The location is great. Short drive to Sugar Mountain and grocery store. Hot tub was right on time after each full day on the slopes. Heated bathroom floors were an added bonus. Will definitely book again next year!

My husband, lab and I really enjoyed our stay to see the leaves. The house was beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated. We really enjoyed the beautiful backyard on the river with firepit and hot tub. Only drawback is the traffic noise on 105 and busy traffic on Church Rd.

Such a wonderful property. It is super convenient and easy to get to and from a main highway which gives you access to lots of activities like Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and Boone. The house itself is incredible; the hot tub, shuffleboard, ping pong table and firepit provided hours of entertainment. My kids loved playing in the creek as well. All appliances and furniture were high quality, clean and new. Can't wait to come back!
