Nice overall.

Overall was nice. Washer and dryer don't work and hot tub needed cleaning and chlorine added. Water was green on second day.

Perfect Stay for a Large Group – Great Location & Amenities!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The location was perfect, and the property was ideal for our group of four families—everyone appreciated the great choice. The home was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped to accommodate a large group. The highlight of our stay was the entertainment room downstairs, which kept the kids happily engaged while the adults enjoyed a relaxed time in the cozy living area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun and comfortable group getaway!

Pictures REALLY do not do this Justice!

This cabin is much roomier inside and out than the photos depict! With 3 couples and one single adult, we brought in a ton of supplies for the week so the space was appreciated. Very clean, well stocked and comfortable. Beds were all very comfy but a little tall for a 5 ft person. Bathrooms were updated and clean. Weather was gorgeous so we enjoyed the porch, hot tub and fire pit area. We arrived in October at peak leaf change. The whole week was amazing views of mountains, leaves and beautiful Fall sights. Saw deer every day down the back yard. The drive to cabin was not bad. Not too far from Boone NC or Blowing Rock. We will be back one day!

Wonderful!

This home was fantastic. Very clean, nice! A tad bit further to restaurants than I wanted - but that was my fault! (Small kids are a lot to keep in a car long periods of time) I didn’t research enough! It was lovely. Management was lovely. Home was clean! Would totally stay again!

Great cabin!

Overall it was an amazing house! Comfy rooms, enough bathrooms for everyone, gorgeous views, loved the ample space outside for our dog to run and play, location was good (about 40+/- to everywhere), quick response from hosts. Only reason I rated 4 instead of 5 is because of the dirty floors. They had been vacuumed/sweeped but not mopped. Everything else felt clean, just the floors felt like they hadn’t been mopped in a while. Other than that everything was amazing! Would recommend!

Perfect family getaway

We fell in love with the home & views, & all the property has to offer. It was perfect for our blended family of 10. We spent almost every night out by the fire pit & played many rounds of Texas Hold’em & Blackjack at the table on the porch. The tweens & teens loved the pool table, air hockey, & foosball. The 16yo video game enthusiast was in heaven playing on the video projector downstairs. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We hope to visit again.

great location

We all enjoyed our stay. This a nice clean and spacious place. If I have to say somethkng, the gas grill wasn't working properly, very low flames so far to get heat and the dishwasher wasn't working well either (dishes were not coming out clean after a cycle. maybe it is just a matter of cleaning the filter).

Weekend mountain getaway

This property was gorgeous inside and out and was very spacious. Our group enjoyed the hot tub and the view and cooked in a few nights. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances - even had a mixer and a slow cooker. There are plenty of bathrooms and they all are very nicely finished. We went on a short nearby hike to Laurel Creek Falls and enjoyed climbing on all the rocks. Also went to Boone to wander around a bit and hit up the Lost Province brewery and Pizza joint - great beer, mixed drinks and wine as well as delicious pizza!

Family Christmas Gathering December 15-19th, 2021

We were having the whole family together for Christmas for the first time in many years. They wanted to go to the mountains and get a Christmas tree like we used to do when they were young. So, it was my job as Mom to put everything together. The children and grandchildren were coming in from Japan and the western and northern USA. This was in important gathering. The pictures on the site do not actually do this property justice. Our first view from the road as we arrived was "OMG is that it!!" When we entered, the first view was of a large decorated Christmas tree! The mood was set! Everyone walked through with smiles on their faces. One of my sons hugged me and said "you did good Mom". The cabin was beautiful inside and out. Plenty of room, very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, gorgeous view from the windows/decks, plenty of games and activities for all. We would have been completely happy if had never left the cabin to do anything else. Would definitely recommend for family vacations. It exceeded expectations.

Peaceful Palace

Clean, comfortable, very homey. Management was responsive and helpful regarding area information. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper. Bar soap in each shower and sink. Mini shampoo bottle in each shower. Kitchen had one roll paper towels, extra trash bags, dishwasher tabs, dish soap, new sponge, towels. They have a dog holder for food and water. Bring containers for leftovers if you plan on cooking & foil/ zip locs if you use them. Bring laundry detergent if you plan to use machine. Bring firewood and a lighter. We left ours for the next group. Great lighting and lamps. LOVED the decorated Christmas tree. Tastefully decorated. Basement projector theater space ended up being ultimate hangout space for the 4 teenage boys. They played pool every night. Remember this is someone else’s home that they share with us and our fur babies. Be kind and pick up after your pet daily.

Spectacular views

The only reason I didn't give this cabin 5 stars was the cleanliness. I spent two days trying to get the mildew/mold out of the front load washer and the hot tub was dirty too. With covid 19, I cleaned all the surfaces myself just for good measure. Enough about the yuck, let's talk about the greatness. This cabin is absolutely gorgeous! It has the most comfortable bed in the master on the main. It was never cold enough to use the fireplace, but how nice to have one in the master. The bathtub was humongous and much needed since the hot tub wasn't clean. The basement is beautiful and we made lots of memories playing air hockey and corn hole. The projector down there was wonderful! The drive to the cabin is beautiful. I would definitely stay again but would hope it would be cleaned better next time.

80th birthday celebration

We wanted to take our mother/mother-in-law to the mountains to celebrate her 80th birthday. The house exceeded all of our expectations. Beautiful views, accommodations that exceeded all of our expectations. Super clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Summer Fun

The house and the yard are absolutely beautiful. We got tons of use out of the fire pit, the porch swing, the large dining room table and the game room. The beds are very comfortable and the staff was great at answering any questions we had. It was a great trip and our friends and family loved the comfort of the house!

My $.02

I don't have one negative thing to say about the entire property. We "I'm 45, wife 48, dog 3 year old boxer" enjoyed a weekend here. We ran into Bob (the care taker of the property) when we arrived, he was finished, just putting things in his car. This man is a saint, and the reason the whole entire house was spotless from Top to Bottom. If you do one thing as a rental company, please give this man praise for doing a fabulous job !!! I would also like to convey that the pictures of the whole property, are actually what the house looks like! This isn't always the case with rentals. The carport on the property was nice because i took a boat. Here is one problem, and It's 100% my fault. I got the email with a warning about letting a gps, take you to the destination; but didn't think too much about it. This lead us to Phillips Branch Road. If i had one suggestion, send an email with ALL RED LETTERS, to stay off of this road at all costs, especially if pulling a trailer. We almost didn't make it, the road is very narrow, sharp curves, is dirt, and has steep grades. Had to put the truck in 4 wheel drive to make it up. I totally own that one, as i did get the email, and own that mistake. As far as the property as a whole, it's 5 stars, swing on the porch, view of Beech Mtn, the whole 9 yards. We loved it !!! I booked this online, but had also talked to a very nice lady named Emily on the phone who greatly helped me make the decision. Thanks again, and I will use your company in the future !!!

Loved it! Fantastic house

My husband and I recently stayed at the property with our 2 boys (7 and 5). We had a great time. The house is really clean, offers stunning views of the mountains, is extremely quiet and has everything you need! We really enjoyed the large dining table outside, the hot tub and the large fire pit in the backyard. The beds are very comfortable, linen is nice and clean and there are plenty of towels. Each bedroom has extra pillows and blankets. I highly recommend this house for your next vacation.
