Awesome stay!

We enjoyed our stay so much!! Loved the location it was close to everything! We really loved the stream in the back and the hot tub was a huge plus after being at the ski resorts all day! The only advise to the owner I would give is the house needs more towels for guest with the hot tub we had to keep washing towels and eventually bought a few so we can have enough but honestly that was very minor for our amazing trip!! We will definitely be back

Perfect for Hawksnest plans

This was a fantastic property for our family of five, having snowtubing plans at Hawksnest. We enjoyed having access to the creek behind the house, several family-friendly board games in the living room, the use of kitchen appliances and tools, a washer and dryer, and the very comfortable beds. It was just the right space for us to enjoy with close access to great restaurants in Banner Elk. We are looking forward to hopefully staying again!

Christmas by the Creek

The sound of the water running in the creek on the back side of the house was beautiful to see and hear. We enjoyed our stay here. However, if you book during the cold months, I would recommend having chains or a four wheel drive vehicle, or you may get stuck in the cabin.

Highly Recommend this property

This property was great for a family with school age children. We loved the creek behind the home. The location is very central and nice that it’s not all the way up the mountain. The property was clean and check-in was easy. It is not the most updated property in the bathrooms/kitchen, but was fine for what is needed. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

New Year’s visit

We were very impressed with how clean and prepared the home was. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, plenty of space for our family of 6. The hot tub was clean and the creek in the back was beautiful. The home is in a neighborhood, but it maintains its privacy. The home is ideally located with easy travel into Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain, and anything else you’d want to do in the area. Can’t wait to stay again.

Minutes to everything!

The house is wonderful. Open the door to the back porch and sounds of the creek & waterfalls fill the air. We were just about equal distances from Boone & Banner Elk with an easy drive in either direction. Host communication was great! Definitely plan returning to this oasis.

issues that were frustrating

It was a good stay and nice place overall. But there were some issues that were definitely disappointing with the amount of money that we spent on this rental. The thermostat is out of date and did not work properly, the smoke alarm batteries were bad so that was chirping, the fireplace did not seem to work, and the hot tub was somewhat run down. Additionally, while I was cleaning up from us leaving, I found a prior guest’s underwear underneath one of the kids beds, which made me feel that the cleaning people are not the most thorough.

Absolutely beautiful!

We're from Florida and my 5 yo daughter had been asking to see snow for years. This place was beautiful, waking up to sit on the back porch, while listening to the falls in the back yard, with a blanket and coffee in hand, while my daughter still slept was my favorite part. The neighborhood was quite, the place was very clean and we had a wonderful visit. We went to Hawksnest Snow Tubing & Zipline just up the mountain, checked out Sugar Mountain, drove to downtown Boone... the whole visit did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you so much for an amazing visit!

Great location and clean

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Karen was so helpful with several questions we had before our stay, and the house was spotless and the perfect size for our family of four. Our boys loved playing in the creek. There was plenty of water and a series of cascading waterfalls, although we had a lot of rain the prior week so that probably helped. It was also extremely helpful to have things like paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, towels, etc. because we have usually had to bring those items to previous VRBOs. Although it is on a residential street, we had plenty of privacy in the backyard. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Could of been better for the Price

Lots of bugs inside house diff need a contract with Pest control; needs central AC not big on window units as it was not enough to cool down house on hot days. Extra towels in the bathrooms or linen closet would of been nice. Rockers on back porch diff need some cushions or something they are hard has bricks and falling apart.

Best yard ever.

This house is clean and comfortable. Due to the virus we cooked all our meals here and some items in the kitchen could use an update. During normal times we would've enjoyed some local restaurants and it wouldn't have mattered much. The location is great, it's easy to get to, comfortable beds, but the best thing about this home is the backyard. I would never want to leave. The big porch is awesome and the owners have done so much to make the amazing creek accessible. Great steps to the clean hot tub then on down to the creek. We had so much fun exploring the rocks, walking in the cold water and listening to the sounds. We will be back because it really can't be beat. I second other reviews that said the pics don't do it justice. Great stay, easy communication. Wonderful.

Relaxing Getaway

My husband, two teenagers, and I really enjoyed this beautiful, clean, perfectly located home just a few minutes from Hawksnest, where we went snow tubing. The setting is gorgeous with mountain views and a creek running through the backyard. Hot tub was wonderful! Wish we could have stayed longer...
