The cabin was very outdated and was not equipped for cooking. The cabin looked like it hasn’t been used in a while. The beds were very old and uncomfortable. The location was good. Definitely would not stay there again.

SAD

Unfortunately, we had to cut out stay short because we did not have water or heat in the cabin. It was -9 degrees. There was nothing they could do. We received two (2) jugs of water to flush the toilets and some wood for the fire place. Our Christmas was spent driving 9 hours back to Florida.

Foxs Lair

Master bathroom shower had multiple issues so we only used it once and all shared the 2nd floor shower after that. We left word with the property managers when we checked out. Nice neighborhood. Other than the family reunion at the next house over, it was quite. Located near Boone and Blowing Rock so you were within 15 - 20 minutes to activities and restaurants. The only real negative is all of the mattresses were FIRM!!! I spent the last night on the sofa. I left with backaches.

Life in a tree house

The huge wrap around deck is the best part of the cabin. Spent hours each day and the view is like being in a tree house. Filled the humming bird feeder and those birds were there every 3-5 minutes. Filled the bird feeder and loved the cardinals and blue jays. Just communing with nature. It is a bit distance from the must see sites but that did not have a negative impact on our stay. Loved it !!!!!

Fox’s Lair

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fox’s Lair. This was just a family (of 5) quick ski/visit weekend. Our 2 college kids claimed the two upstairs bedrooms, while our 14 year old happily claimed one of the sofas. It was perfect for us, and the ability to bring our 1 year old Boykin Spaniel along, to surprise our App State daughter, was icing on the cake!! Perfect accommodations and a wonderful getaway weekend! Just wish we could have stayed longer!!

Perfection for relaxation

We absolutely loved this log cabin, the location and our experience here. It had the look and feel of exactly what you would picture out of a Field and Steam magazine. Made for a great Christmas break. Everything was available that was needed and everything worked perfectly. The layout is such that you can spread out and everybody is not on top of each other but yet it still feels warm and cozy. We had five adults, an infant and a two-year-old and there was more than plenty of space. Convenient to get to town and the slopes but still remote enough that you don’t feel like you’re staying in town. We will definitely will be back and will specifically request this cabin! They have done a great job with it!

Very pleasant cabin

The check in process was simple, however I would have preferred code access to door lock as many previous rentals we’ve stayed at instead of going to an office to pick up keys. But they did allow a check in 1 1/2 hours before normal time so… The cabin was more adult appropriate, as there were no games, books, or anything for children to do. We had our grandchildren ages 4 and 9 with us, and no yard was appropriate for outside play. The cabin was comfortable, the fireplace was the most enjoyed feature. Open floor plan was wonderful. We would concider renting again, however not with children.

So relaxing!

We enjoyed our stay so much at this wonderful cabin. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. We observed wildlife like deer, foxes and many birds from the huge deck. This cabin is so close to so many attractions and right around the corner from the Mast General Store. The interior layout is so open and accomodating. We would love to come back here.

Home Away From Home

The experience with Valle Crucis Log Cabin Rentals was top notch from the booking, email correspondence, check-in, stay in the cabin, and check-out. We had a minor issue we noted on the evaluation form and turned in with our keys at checkout. We said we would call to explain, but the office reached out to us with concern before we even called. They were genuinely concerned and willing to hear any suggestions to make their customers comfortable. The cabin was clean, mattresses were great, kitchen was stocked well, and the deck was awesome. We had family from several states come together and it was a trip we’ll always remember. Overall great experience!
