The view was gorgeous I could have sat on that porch drinking my coffee all day long. The house was everything that was advertised we love the game room first time most of our family had ever gotten to play pool so that was a lot of fun. Our family enjoyed the hot tub morning afternoon and night thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had a great time. We pick a place yearly before school starts and this year was grandfather lookout. Love the house and the area, and loved that the driveway was paved all the way to the house, it made it a lot easier to get to.

The home was spacious and lovely. We especially enjoyed the covered deck with comfortable furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the light switches were conveniently labeled. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, but did not provide staples such as sugar. No laundry soap, softener, or tissues were provided and these would have been appreciated.

31st annual Christmas Tree cutting trip

We started out as two, then four(Two Girls). youngest was proposed to at RRR Todd Tree Farm( still together with two kids).Oldest daughter(42) with her girls and her better half. Come in on the day before Thanksgiving. Eat Drink & be Merry. Daniel; Boone Restaurant for breakfast Saturday morning, then off to find our trees. Back to Mast General whether it be Valle Cruis or Downtown Boone. Girls shop, we look for parking spots. The Living room TV was our biggest issue. We were snowed in and couldn't find our shows. Got 4" Sunday night. Tough going down the hills but we're home now in Wilmington. Beautiful Home, View & area. We all loved it. We have stayed in Seven Devils several times but none as great as Grandfather View !

Wonderful place for family

We brought our teenagers and their friends up for the weekend and it was the perfect layout. Our bedroom was on the main floor with the beautiful view from the porch nearby. The teenagers enjoyed the pool table, shuffleboard and hot tub. There was a second living room downstairs giving everyone plenty of places to spread out. The location of the house is central to Boone/Blowing Rock and Beech/Sugar Mountain. All of the area attractions are a short distance away. We will stay here again!

Will be back!!!

Absolutely LOVED this property! Excellent location, and you cannot beat the view! They’re not joking about needing 4WD. I do not suggest coming to the house for the first time in the dark - you may fall off the mountain. Two notes: 1. Spend some time in the kitchen before you have to cook, and make sure you open ALL the drawers ALL THE WAY. Steak knives are wayyyy in the back of a random drawer - ha! 2. Put your heaviest sleeper in the basement bedroom. You hear every single step that happens above you.

Nice Place with a nice View.

My family and friends stayed for the week and had a good time. House was clean and comfortable and nice view to wake up to in the morning. Driveway might be a little scary if you are in a car or in snowy weather I doubt a car would make it in snow, but that kinda is to be expected. SUV had no issue getting up the hill.
