This property was perfect for our needs. It was extremely pet friendly with room for them to play on porch as well as a fenced in back yard. The rooms were quiet and restful, and the location was very close to all attractions.
What a wonderful cabin! Loved the location, that it was pet friendly and such a warm, and inviting cozy cabin. The host was very communicative and very friendly! Can’t wait to come back!Thank you!
It was super cold but we were warm and comfortable! The home had everything we needed. Host was super easy to contact and worked with our holiday schedule. Would stay again.
The description of the property was spot on. Cute, quaint, close to Appalachian Mountain Ski Hill, and close to Blowing Rock and Boone. The neighborhood was quiet and we had the perfect stay. Great value as well.
We really enjoyed our visit to Blowing Rock. This property worked perfectly for our family. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The location was perfect for our visit to Tweetsie Railroad Christmas.

The house is great, clean and cozy. Well stocked and everything labeled. Great location for shopping, restaurants, grandfather mountain and winery. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Great weekend getaway for a girl's trip. It was also nice having the fenced backyard for the doggies. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!
Enjoyed everything about it! Very clean and functional. Used the outside fire pit and the fenced in backyard. The host was very responsive and helpful.
We had a really nice time. The house is clean, decorated nicely, well stocked and close to town. There is a small fenced in area for dogs. The beds are comfy. We especially loved the fire place. Thank you !
Felt like home. This had everything we needed and then some. Great front porch swing! The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. If we come out this way in the future, we would book here again
We had a fantastic stay at the cabin in Blowing Rock. The cabin was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. It had all the necessities we needed for a relaxing vacation, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy bedding and plenty of extra amenities. The location was perfect for enjoying the surroundings, and the peaceful atmosphere made it even better. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, well-stocked cabin getaway!
We really enjoyed our weekend in this very clean and spacious cabin and the communication with the owner was great. Planning to go back Appalachian Ski Mtn It's just around the corner….
My family and I stayed at this cabin for our destination Christmas. When we arrived, we immediately noticed how well kept and clean the property was. I feel like the home is bigger in person than the photos lead on. The host was responsive and friendly. The ski resort was just down the street and so were other attractions. I highly recommend staying here.
It's a great location and looks to be very dog friendly. Only 15 min to downtown Boone & 15 Min to Blowing Rock. We didn't bring the dogs this time but will definitely keep it in mind the next time visiting the area. If you find my toothbrush let me know. I think I left it.
We had a wonderful stay! Out host was kind and very quick to respond. The cabin had everything we needed including a grill in the back deck! You will enjoy the cozy den with a warm fireplace and comfy blankets to snuggle up in. The children enjoyed the double bunkbeds and the king beds were very comfortable as well. Additionally, the location is off the road and up the mountain (so there's a nice view) but minutes away from area attractions . We really enjoyed out weekend stay and highly recommend it.
This house was such a great experience. All the reviews are accurate. Melissa was responsive and so easy to work with. This house is located walking distance to App Mountain (my 13&18 yr olds walked with their boards and boots). And easy to access boone and blowing rock. It does suggest 4wd for the winter and I would highly recommend this during the cold weather. Would definitely stay here again.
Our family needed a quick getaway after an eventful last 8 months and this was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location, layout of the house, pet friendly fenced in yard, proximity to restaurants and entertainment, and how equipped the house was. Check-in and check-out were easy. Melissa was very kind and helpful. We will most definitely be adding this to our list of "re-visits". Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your home!
