Wonderful

We had a great stay at Gnome Away from Home. The cabin is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. The only disappointment was that the hiking trails in Powder Horn were closed during our stay and this was not communicated with us. But that house is perfect for a mountain getaway. We will definitely be back.

Gnome away from home

We had a great time staying at the gnome away from home! The house was exactly as described in the property listing. We stayed for an extended weekend (4 nights). We visited Boone, Blowing Rock, we walked on multiple trails and even visited Elk Knob and New River State Parks. Our favorite outing was to Cone Manor and the trail around bass lake. Our time around the cabin was wonderful. It was a little cool out but we used the outdoor heater and enjoyed coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings on the deck! The neighborhood was very quiet and had additional trails. Definitely a trip to remember and something I would gladly do again!

Perfect get away!

We walked into a welcoming basket filled with wonderful treats and a bottle of wine, which was a great surprise. I appreciated how spotless the house was upon arrival. We went with no intentions on doing any exploring but just to kick back, relax and enjoy the wood burning stove/fireplace. Kitchen was well stocked (better than most we have stayed in) which we really appreciated because we love to cook and didn't plan on leaving. It was cozy, inviting and just perfect. We saw a family of deer on the property everyday while we were there. Susan was wonderful. Quick to respond to any questions I had, even dropped off some fire starters after we arrived to help get our fire going. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Perfect cabin for family

My family and I stayed over New Years and loved the cabin. Everything in the cabin was perfect and the welcome gift was so nice! The kids loved the downstairs game room. We saw deer multiple times in the neighborhood and the playground area by the lake was very scenic to walk around and play by. The lil gem mining with Jesse was also a highlight. She was so sweet and the kids had a blast! Great place to feel secluded but also close drive to Boone.

Great place to spend a few days with kids

There was plenty to do and see. Be sure to bring your hiking shoes and fishing gear. The home was perfect with foosball and other games like ping pong and pool. We enjoyed the swimming pool, lake and scenery.

This very small dark place had 1 bedroom not 3.

The home is extremely dark with dim lighting. The advertisement for the home was falsely represented. There is one bedroom, a loft and a day bed. Not 3 bedrooms. There isn't a gym in the home. The gym is located away from the property. Grossly overpriced for the size and false bedroom advertising.
