mountain charmer!

This property was clean, comfortable and really lovely. Plenty of space for a crowd, with several bedrooms on the main level, which matters for us because we travel with an 87 year old family member who struggles with stairs. The kitchen was very well equipped and labeled. Powder Horn Mountain, although a little remote, had a really beautiful pool area and a fantastic stream area near the campground for creek stomping. All in all, this was a really delightful place for a low-key family get together.

Great layout for large gatherings. Lots of sleeping space, good layout of bathrooms, nice that the kids have their own living space downstairs. Spacious wrap around outside deck space. String lights for the back deck don't work. Kitchen could use freshening; while the cabinets and drawers are full, some things are pretty worn, if there's kitchen ware you really need to feed a crowd, recommend bringing with you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Acorn Cottage was the best supplied rental I ever booked. It has everything you need and more. The cooking spices and supplies were great to have. The view is amazing. The cottage is very comfortable and I slept better there than my own bed! It was dark and quiet at night. The noise in the house does not carry from upstairs to downstairs so if there are nightowls you will not be disturbed.

The perfect place for our crew!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage was absolutely perfect for our group! My parents stayed in the main suite, and having their own bathroom was a big bonus. My brother and his family used the other two rooms on the main floor, and my family of five used the three bedrooms in the basement. Having two living areas in the house was SO nice! We also truly appreciated being able to bring our two dogs with us. The property description and pictures allowed us to plan in advance, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Communication with the property manager was easy and we appreciated the quick response time. We'd highly recommend this property to others, and I'm sure we'll stay here again when we visit Boone--it was just right for what we needed! For anyone looking for activities in the area, we would definitely suggest checking out Appalachian Tubing Company--closest tubing company to the cottage, easy online reservations, and the friendliest guys who run it!
