The photos do not do this place justice. I know that the "bear-Core" can go a bit overload at placed, but this was just right. Three levels with a bathroom on each which was awesome for our crew. Fun game room with pool table and darts. Kid friendly but yard has a big slope so ya gotta watch closely. Beautiful fireplace. Great location- 25 mins to boone, 40 to Banner Elk. Gravel windy road so I suggest 4wd. Grill needs replacing, and hot tub was a bit small for 3 adults and 2 small kiddos, but all in all a nice perk. The wifi worked well too! The deck and swing out back were lovely. All in all- we had a blast and would totally come stay here again.
