Our family of 3 loved the quiet and peace of this tranquil paradise. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed birding, relaxing on the front porch, and getting sweet visits from local dogs and cats. It was great being so close to Boone and Elk Knob while also feeling very private. We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing views, perfect accommodations

Stayed the weekend for our New River Marathon and this was the perfect stay! We couldn’t get over the Mountain Views and enjoyed the front porch with the swing. Got some great recovery rest outside in the afternoon and had fun exploring downtown Boone. Wished we could have slow mornings on the couch every day!

Great for a quick getaway

The cabin was perfect for a quick getaway. Very clean and tidy, close to Boone and many hiking trails. Renters should be aware that the road leading to the house is gravel and quite rutted in spots, especially right in front of the house, with lots of loose gravel. This made it tricky to make it up the very steep driveway with only 2WD, I spun out a couple of times in my RAV4.

A weekend home away from home

More than enough space for me and my husband. We came with no more plans than to rest and eat out and that's what we did! We had everything we needed, and it was nice and peaceful. My only complaint is the grass needed mowing BUT it was raining while we were there, so what can you do?

Weekend getaway

Nice & cozy place. We specifically enjoy the wood stove as it was cold & windy. Not secluded as they are neighbors on both sides. Beautiful mountain view up front and a swing to enjoy the view. We would stay there again and maybe hike at the state park nearby.

Had a great family get away. Enjoyed sitting on the porch in the cooler mornings and evenings. Picture window in the living room really made the house. Lots of cabinet space for our groceries, we cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for meals. This was a great place for the price and location. I would suggest upgrading the mattress in the master (I only tried this one so I don’t know about the others) it is always great when you can sleep well when away from home. Apart from that our stay was still 5 stars and we would come back again.

The place is honestly bigger than it looks in pictures. Was everything we needed and more. Kitchen has basic necessities as far as cooking wares and utensils go - but we didn’t stay long enough to really utilize anything beyond the coffee pot. Beautiful morning views!

Precisely What We Needed

We were a family visiting our family in the area, this place was convenient to Boone and West Jefferson, clean, and comfortable. The large windows in the living room were a popular place to watch birds in the snow. Cozy, warm, would stay again.

The house was very nice. It was as clean as a whistle. The fireplace insert was great and we kept a fire going most of our stay. My kids were so excited it took an hour and a half to get them to bed our first night. We really enjoyed our stay.
