Local Highlights & Area Recommendations:

Perfect location for all area events from North Wilkesboro and Merle Fest to Blowing Rock for the always delightful concerts in the park! Appalachian State University is just up the road about 10 miles, along with all the shopping, restaurants, local artisans, and the sights and sounds of King Street in Boone. Local ski resorts include App Ski Mountain, Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. Visit Hawks Nest for some ziplining or grab those yummy snacks and sit by the river with a glass of wine from one of our favorite places, Grandfather Vineyards. Local breweries are plentiful. Some of our favorites include AMB, Booneshine, and Molly Chompers. Go gem mining for your next ruby or emerald and then take the family and friends to Tweetsie for some Western wranglin' fun!

The home was beautiful. Rockers on the porch were a true highlight. Be prepared to be disconnected as the internet and satellite were extremely limited. It is very far from everything. Had a great stay. Would not recommend for younger children.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in the perfect location, very clean and beautiful! Loved the game room and decks! The only things that could be improved ( not dealbreakers at all) the main bed should define a queen not a double, the ice maker/water should work in the fridge and it would be super nice to have some sort of steps going down the back yard to the lake/trails. It was a great time staying here!

Property Needs Updating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay at Lakin it Easy. The cabin needs some updating and improvements. First is the front door locking mechanism. The door will not unlock after putting in the code. After 3 tries it resets and then the display will not activate. Even with new batteries it still would not work and we had to leave the back door unlocked when we went anywhere. Second the outdoor deck furniture is rusted and strewn around the deck. Not safe to sit on. The wooden chairs need painting and the seat cushions need replacing. One of the orange cushions is in the woods probably blown off the deck by the wind. Third the mini split heating/AC unit at the top of the stairs leaks water onto the floor. It cannot be used. Lastly a breaker tripped that controls the receptacles in the master bedroom. It would not reset and needs replacing. Lamps, TV and portable AC would not work due to the breaker.The property manager is receptive to these issues being fixed.

Exceeded Expectations

We have long talked about renting a cabin/mountain house for the week of Thanksgiving as our two families have shared the holiday together for several years now. The 3 levels were absolutely perfect for the kids, us early risers on the main floor and the not so early risers on the third :) The hiking trails were a blast (make sure you have weatherproof hiking boots lol), views were amazing, the game room kept the kids entertained as well as us adults. It was overall a great time! We did read in a review prior to our stay that the tips on the pool sticks were missing so we did come prepared with our own. Thank you for such a great experience and the memories we were able to leave with!

Lovely Place at Lakeside!

Lakeside was beautiful and relaxing. This place had everything for us and everything was easy to access from check-in all the way to check-out. The only few drawbacks I found about Lakeside are: - Both of the pool sticks had not tip - No ping pong balls - No air hockey puck - Top AC unit was leaking We came on a Saturday when it was raining so we didn't have much to do inside. One recommendation I would have to the owner is to have more trash bins outside. We barely had enough room for all the trash and it's kind of inconvenient for us to leave the cabins to drop off trash and come back. Overall, Lakeside is a beautiful place and I would highly recommend this place to family and friends.

Great mountain getaway!

Beautiful cabin on the lake in a lovely mountain community! We had a wonderful time! A couple of disappointments as described below, but overall a great cabin for a remote mountain getaway! 1) The outdoor spaces need work. The outdoor furniture is old and dirty and there were missing or no cushions on the deck furniture, so we couldn’t even sit on the couches and enjoy the outdoor views. The decks need to be blown off and thoroughly cleaned. 2) Some of the “clean” dishes were dirty and the remote to the fireplace needed new batteries, so it didn’t work. 3) Deep Gap is VERY remote, and it took longer to get into Boone/Blowing Rock than we anticipated (40-50 min) but the drive to get into town was beautiful!!
