Beautiful cabin with a nice view of the mountain range around. The rooms and amenities were very nice! TVs in all rooms, pool table upstairs and a large game room/TV room in the garage downstairs! Enjoyed cooking several things using the gas stove. The wrap around deck was furnished well and we loved the big hot tub! The king suite was very nice. The gas logs would not stay lit but that may be something as small as the tank was running low? Not a big deal, but just an item to look into. Will recommend this property to others and hope to book here again!

Everything was close to perfect. Deck was covered with leaves so my daughter brought up a blower when she came to town. Location was great. House very clean. For a week stay, more paper products provided would been nice. Overall beautiful property and clean home. Would definitely come back.

The inside was beautiful. The outside however, was littered with beer cans. The deck was covered in spider webs and leaves. I spent the morning knocking down the spider webs and cleaning off the deck so my kids could enjoy the hot tube and beautiful view.

Graduation weekend stay
This was a beautiful and spacious place to stay with my family for my little sister's graduation weekend from App State. It was located 20-25 minutes from Boone with views of the luscious mountains, trees, and hills all around. 10/10 we all really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Great stay in Boone area
Beautiful property, views were fantastic from great room & deck. Enjoyed hot tub and fire pit, kids enjoyed games in garage and loft. Beds comfortable, appreciated provided linens and toiletries. Only issue was with gas logs inside shutting off after just a few minutes running. Was told it was a safety feature if it was too warm (was in 30’s two nights and we kept heat at 64 degrees inside), believe logs need repair however.
Otherwise would definitely consider coming again as we had a great time and love the area.
