Thanksgiving Weekend Tradition

Very clean and cozy. Easy to access. Convenient to Boone and Blowing Rock. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. My husband and I rent a cabin every Thanksgiving weekend and my daughter, her husband and 3 grandchildren come to find the perfect Christmas tree. Perfect weekend filled with good food and sweet memories.

Long Weekend Getaway

The five of us snuck away for a long weekend, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The location is between Boone and Blowing Rock, offering easy access to both. The house was clean and efficient. It has everything to offer home convenience without the extras you don't need or want. The basement was a great space for the youngsters to play, while the firepit and hot tub offered just enough outdoor activity. 5/5 would choose to stay here again.

Wonderful Cabin

We loved staying here, the location is PERFECT! Super close to everything, Boone, Blowing Rock, the major parks. The cabin was also very clean and well kept, one of the nicer rental houses we’ve stayed at. We did have a few questions during our stay and the communication was very prompt.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The house is minutes from everything we’d hoped to do & a cozy home base to come back to. The kids loved the basement games & watching the rain from the front porch was so peaceful. Brandon was so attentive and helpful - highly recommend this property!

Great house in a convenient location

We had a wonderful stay at this house, which is conveniently located near Blowing Rock and Boone as well as numerous hiking trails and attractions. Communication with the host was great. The only addition I would make would be a couple of more place settings for the kitchen.

Beautiful clean home

This home was beautiful and very well maintained. It was very clean inside and well stocked with everything we could have wanted. Location is great! It is enough in the mountain to give that secluded feel but close enough to the main road to make getting places very easy. Close to all the activities in Boone as well as Blowing Rock and some beautiful hiking trails! Access into the home was flawless and Brandon the host was a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend this home and would stay here again if ever in the area.

2nd time staying at this home. It's just perfect for our family! Kids love the game room! Comfy beds, super stocked and very clean! We enjoyed using the hot tub and smores by the fire out back. Highly recommend and we will stay here again if in the area. We went for spring break to ski and got a surprise snow day! Just the best experience we could ask for!

Great Escape - Wonderful Mountain Home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space to spread out with a family of 4. My kids loved the loft area with 2 beds! Master suite upstairs was very spacious and accommodating. The kitchen was more stocked than my own kitchen at home, haha! Our family enjoyed the game room downstairs and the laundry room was perfect to dry some clothes after finishing up on the ski slopes. Wish we could have stayed longer, there was so much to enjoy and we will book again when visiting the area in the future.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed the property the week after Christmas. It was a perfect little get away for our family of 4 adults and our dog. The house was clean, had everything you needed and a very well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the firepit, the gaslog fireplace was perect for the cold week. The location of the house is perfect with 20+ minutes to the slopes in Boone, less than 10 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock. Brandon was a great host, very responsive and communicated with us when needed. We can recommend this property!

Ski Weekend with young child

We will be back!! We loved this property! This home was so comfortable and cozy; everything you could want in a mountain house. It was extremely clean and well stocked. Had everything… an extremely well stocked kitchen, pack n play, toddler bed rail, shampoo & condition, lotion, etc. The downstairs laundry room was huge and perfect for all your snow gear when you come in. The upstairs king bed was very comfortable and we slept great (mattress in the firm side). There are a lot of stairs, so if you had young children or trouble with stairs I could see that being a little tough. We had our four year old with us and had no issues. The location is amazing. So close to Boone, Blowing Rock, App Ski mountain, Tweetsie, etc. We also easily went to Hawksnest for snow tubing and Banner Elk for dinner. I see our family returning for ski weekends in the future!
