No steep switchbacks, no stressful arrivals—just easy mountain access so you can settle in and start making memories.

Overall it was a great great experience staying here. Everything was as listed with thoughtful extra things provided. Well stocked and labeled. Communication was great and prompt. The only issues where completely out of the home owners control. The pool was waiting on and inspection from the county. And a water issues with in the community. Both issues where still take care of promptly. And the owner provided remedies for both. Would recommend this house a friend.
Great location relative to town and Boone. Charming house, hosts made everything a breeze from booking to check-in to all the helpful labels in the home.
