Our family mountain trip.

The house is so beautiful. Great location for everything needed. This was our second time staying here and we look forward to staying again. If I could give any suggestions that would be, a keurig coffee maker, new cookie sheets, new frying pan. We truly were blessed by staying in this beautiful home with our family.

Great place and great location

We had 3 families and some friends and all of our teenagers/early 20’s kids with us. Great spacious place, all the kids stayed on the bottom level in the room with the bunks with pool table and hot tub near by. The adults stayed on the main and upper level. Hot tub, fire pit, and big outdoor heater available. Cool swings on the deck; great view of the mountains. The kitchen was fully equipped!! Would definitely stay here again!!

Enjoyed our stay

My family enjoyed the accommodations and the location. The home was clean, spacious and had lots to do! My only concern was the driveway. It was narrow and had a bit of a hill. It was difficult to turn our Yukon xl around in.

Wow

We had 10 adults an 5 children 5 and under. From the moment we checked in until the minute we left we were over the top impressed with the location the accommodations and the support of that wonderful service staff. If there was anything less than impressive at all It was the drive up the winding road it was scenic but a little intimidating. Overall we loved it we'll stay again

VIlas staying

We had such a good time staying at this property. The house is amazing, well equiped, everything was working properly. we had an issue with the fire alarm sensor and it was fixed on the same day. The only thing that could be improved is the cleaning of the house, specially the bed sheets. But overall the house is amazing, I totally recomend this place!

Beautiful cabin!

My husband and I along with our two kids (in their mid 20s) and their fiancés enjoyed a long weekend at Livin the Dream. Cabin was exactly as described in listing. Gravel road up mountain well maintained. SUV definitely best. But one car was Nissan Maxima and made it ok. Game room provided lots of fun. Wrap around deck very nice. Fire pit area great. We requested and had bundles of firewood delivered ($22 per bundle). Bedrooms and bathrooms well appointed. Approx 10-15 drive into Boone. We would stay again!
