Dog friendly stay
Overall, the proximity of this property to the blue ridge parkway and Boone is ideal. It is equipped with all of the necessities. There is not any green space for dogs. The sound rules are strict and the street is very narrow as was described.

Great Mountain Weekend Getaway
We had a great stay at Mogul Road Cottage. The location is perfect - you are 10-15 minutes from Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock. The house was very clean and cozy, and it did not smell like house that allowed animals. Overall, we had a great experience and would book again.

Worse stay Ever!
Property manager refused to communicate and let us go two nights without heat in 30 degree weather. I had to blow up emails to get someone to respond. The place smelt like dogs have peed all over the house. Half the light bulbs did not work in lights. The place did not smell clean smelt like someone smoked in the house. The beds here are awful. I have not ever felt with people that have been so unprofessional and not care about their guest and making things right for their guest! Do not I repeat do not stay here!Go stay somewhere else that’s worth your money! Vrbo should remove this listing!

Nice little house
The house was clean and well stocked. The parking was no joke. Only 2 cars! The neighbors had more and there was little space to share between 3 houses. Not a lot of room for 6 people to spend hanging out at house, but we only slept there, very comfortably. I would go back.

Great Spot in Foscoe
Great location in terms of proximity to attractions. House was well set up. It would be nice to have more than just salt and pepper in the cabinet but I understand not everyone cooks like my family does. Parking is just as tight if not tighter than described but manageable with big vehicles, just keep in mind it they are mountain roads and you may have to back down some tight spots. My only "complaint" is that I would put the king size bed in the master bedroom up stairs, rather than down stairs, specifically if being used for a family. It would allow the kids to go to sleep down stairs and the "adults" can stay up later with the TV up stairs with dining and kitchen and not disturb the little ones. I would 100% rent this exact spot again with no issue!

Great stay in Banner Elk
This property is in a great location and very comfortable for 4+ people. Everything was perfect except the check in and I'd say checkout too. Vacasa was extremely robotic when I asked if I could check in early, and wanted money for a late check out. This is the only thing keeping me from leaving 5 stars. Vacasa was responsive and had good communication. The house was clean, updated, and comfortable. To Vacasa- I'd recommend a more human approach to guest interactions and less of the "there can be no exceptions" nonsense. Overall, I do recommend this property though.

Good house overall.
Overall this house and location was good. Not too far from trails or shopping/restaurants. House was clean and taken care of. Heating in the house was set too warm for us, but survived. Luckily we only had one car, due to house parking space and others very close by. We drove a sudan type vehicle but sharp and steep turns to get to house, with others vehicles in neighbor not being considerate of everyone else.

Great for families with kids
The house was very well equipped with everything you might need. They even had games, sippy cups, and step stools in the bathrooms for the kids. Good location convenient to many great mountain activities Great water pressure in the showers was a plus. We couldn’t figure out how to adjust the temperature in the house as all the thermostats had tape over them & a note saying not to adjust - that is the only reason for not rating it 5 stars.

Too dog friendly
This house reakes with dog pee/dirty dog smell along with dog hair being all over everything. Could hardly stay in the house. In addition it is right above the dumpsters and they come to pick up the trash anywhere from 6:30 am to 9:30 am. Know you can’t do anything about that but it was unpleasant to be woken up that early on vacation. Most importantly was the stench that we are taking home with us from the dogs.

Family Vacation
Great little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. The house provided everything we needed for a long weekend getaway as a family. We were 10 minutes from the slopes at Sugar and 15 from great food in Banner Elk. Would definitely come back to this place. The only small issue we had was the parking was tight for our truck with the neighbors in front of us but a smaller vehicle would have no trouble. Overall a wonderful place!!
