Boone Weekend

Took a quick trip to Boone to catch the Brad Paisley concert at Kidd-Brewer Stadium. The stadium was two miles from the cabin. The cabin was clean and very quiet. The photographs that decorate the cabin were very interesting. Alot of nostalgia is contained within this cabin. This would be a great place to rent in the fall on a football weekend at the rock.

Imaginary guests are best for this one

Working toward refund. Spiders (3 live ones found), webs in every corner of ceiling, mold in keurig's water filter, and more. Manager claimed was serviced day before. Pictures proved otherwise, not cleaned in long time. Did not stay. Manager blamed me and claimed we aren't truthful, stopped responding. Formally reported to VRBO.

Unique mountain pad with so many beautiful little details.

This place is spectacular. So much love and thought put into it. Quiet serene setting and super convenient to App State campus. David is a super host, great communication and clear concise instructions. Thanks for sharing your sweet mountain place with us! We loved every minute and will come back in a heart beat.

Clean and property manager very helpful

Great location and very clean; but when we arrived, the home had a smell and the air conditioner was not turned on. The thermostat had a lock on it, so we could not adjust it. The property manager was helpful the next morning and turned the air conditioner on for us for the remainder of the stay. Also, if water pressure is important to you, then make sure your hair is washed before you travel here! This was not an issue for my bald partner, but there was no way I would be able to wash all my curly locks. Great quiet location. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the porch.

Comfortable house convenient to Boone

Property was clean and just as described in listing. Lots of great historical memorabilia/photos in the house for my family from Boone to enjoy. Host responded promptly to questions before arrival and accessing the house was easy. This is a great place to stay if you are wanting to have easy access to Boone and the surrounding area.

Great mountain getaway!

Super cute place for a quick weekend trip. Easy check in and owner was very responsive on the couple of questions we had during our stay. House was clean, beds were comfy and plenty of box fans (which was great for white noise while sleeping!). Keurig was great for morning coffee on the deck. Thanks to COVID, we spent quite a bit of time hanging out at the house, which is super close to King Street and lots of great places to order take out. Parkway is also close, which was great for an afternoon outing. Thanks so much and would love to stay again next time we head up to Boone.

Perfect Summer Retreat

This was a return trip for us to this cabin that we absolutely love but had never been to in the summer. It was incredibly beautiful and green — we enjoyed the flowers and birds so much. It was magical to sit on the front deck and watch the fireflies glowing in the twilight. There was a lovely view of the mountains as the sun set to top it off. We had a wonderful time!

Fabulous Fun Cabin!

We spent a wonderful weekend in this charming, cozy, and well-appointed cabin. The owners are so creative and have added many clever elements to the decor -- it's obvious that a lot of love and care have gone into making this such a welcoming home. We enjoyed looking at all of the vintage postcards and art on the walls, all of which made for a cheerful and colorful interior. The owners provided for every detail -- the kitchen was great, the beds were comfortable, there was great internet reception and the TV had every channel you could think of. And all within just a few minutes of downtown Boone. It was a delightful trip!
