Everything we needed

The property was great, it had more than everything we needed for our family of 6 (plus some of my daughter's friends who needed a home cooked meal!). Would stay again for sure! Beautiful outdoor space.

Top of the Trees Peace

Absolutely beautiful, peaceful property with all the comforts of home. Feel like your a million miles away with amenities in town just 10 minutes away. The owners thought of everything you may need for your stay. One suggestion would be an additional strap on the hot tub cover to make it easier to close it. Can’t wait to come back to this little slice of heaven!

Could've been great!

First of all, the house was beautiful, the view was pretty and we had a good time with our family. But, the house was not clean, the tables were dusty, especially the lower shelves, the floors had not been swept well at all, the showers were not very clean either. We were disappointed in the overall cleanliness. We actually went straight in and had to start cleaning the floors so our 16 month old grandchild would not pick up things like the left behind crumbs and game peices under the edge of the couch! We also had a problem with the passcode entry process, Our code did not work, not even from the office when they tried it there. We were told to use the master key until they could text us a new code which I never received at all. Not even a follow up call or text the entire time of the stay. So, we were very disappointed with our customer service as well as the upkeep of the house. We did have clean sheets and towels, but the bunk beds and the full size bed on the second floor were very uncomfortable due to old worn out matresses. We made the best of our treasured time together, but the stay could've been so much better if we - as well as the home - could've received the proper care. It is sad to know we pay extra for house cleaning services and do not get that! Makes me wonder if the actual owners of the property even know that the rental is not being well maintained. The valley and surrounding area is beautiful, but we ALL were really disappointed in the overall rental.

Great Experience

My family and I stayed for the weekend; this house had everything we needed. Room to fellowship together but enough space to get away also. Kids loved the downstairs with games and pool table.

Great location very close to Boone

House was great and we enjoyed our stay. There were a few issues that need to be addressed however. I want to be clear these issues didn’t bother us at all but could inconvenience some. Microwave works but you have to hold the door closed. There were a couple of beetles in the master bath In the bunk room there was a small table that was broken Garbage disposal doesn’t work We will stay here again as I’m sure these issues will be addressed.

Great for families!

This cabin has a great stocked kitchen and was perfect for our family to stay at during graduation. It was close enough to Boone for trips into town and back but still gave you a far away feeling.

4 Stars

I know it's your policy but I believe a 4PM check-in is very late. The majority of the day is gone and the rental fees are a little high to pay for this first day. Also, when we arrived at the house 5 minutes early, the cleaning folks had just started cleaning the house so we didn't even get in until closer to 4:30. The house was clean, great views and had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

Amazing place to stay with so many things nearby!

The cabin was so beautiful! It held our large family with ease and no one felt crowded on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and there were so many blankets available. They were quick to respond with all questions we had on and prior to the trip! We expected a pull out couch in the central floor and basement but the couches seemed fairly new so the listing may be slightly off in that area. Highly recommend staying here! 10/10 visit.

Great Cabin for large family/group with kids!

This 3 story cabin was perfect for our group! We were celebrating 2 teenagers birthdays so we had several teens and adults. The teens were thrilled with the basement, pool table, and kitchenette, while the adults were able to hang out on the main level. This cabin met all of our needs, was clean, and pretty. The only thing I would request is a coffee pot for the coffee maker. I was also surprised to see there were NO extras of anything (tin foil, ziploc bags, spices, laundry detergent). I've stayed at many cabins and they typically have "leftover" supplies we can pull from--this cabin did not.

Amazing Willow Valley View

If I could give 10 stars I would! This is the perfect mountain vacation home. We hope to return during the snow season, although we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The home is very accomodating. Everyone had their own space to relax. The location is ideal for anything you want to do...just minutes away.

Easy access with great layout.

Super clean and perfect layout for a family and friends. Pet friendly. Easy to access but a little loud in that Hwy 105 is pretty close and you can hear the traffic. Very clean!

Very clean, spacious, well stocked kitchen

We had a great stay. The house was very clean and the furniture was comfortable. Basement area was a bonus! We cooked each night and the kitchen had really everything we needed. I would remember to bring some kitchen wraps/bags next time. We did lots of 30 min trips to various hiking spots, creeks, swimming holes. Easy to get to if you follow the manager’s directions. We followed GPS on the way in and it was not as easy.

Lovely stay once again

Areas for improvement.....The bathroom lighting was very dim and should maybe consider putting lights above the mirrors. Also the bedroom carpet upstairs had several stains on it. The hot tub cover is hard to get back on as its hard to reach and perhaps a handle or rope could be attached for easy access. Lastly the the garbage cans would not lock and so therefore we had a visitor twice that was interested in the items we through out. Only got a quick glimpse and was NOT afraid! I have rented this cabin 5 years in a row and will again as I love the location and the layout. Also noticed the owners have made several improvements over the years to guarantee continued returns...Thank you we do appreciate it! Lori Emmons
