"There was no cooktop or AC in bedroom. The shared deck didn’t look like pictures and when a whole family was in the next unit, there was no privacy on it. Could only stream on TV. Location was OK but couldn’t walk to Blowing Rick."

"This place was perfect for our stay. It is perfectly secluded but not too far from Blowing Rock proper. The view from the deck and hot tub was wonderful. Owner/property manager (?) was very responsive and dealt with one issue we had same day. We would love to go back to this place!"

"We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful views, which were amazing. The hosts were always available via the VRBO app. We had everything we needed at the cabin.The drive up to the cabin was a bit steeper than we expected. Not being used to mountain roads, my wife did not enjoy the trip up and down the mountain. We did make it up safely and without issues in a 2WD Jeep. Just be mentally prepared for a steep, windy drive.All in All the whole family had a great time in the area and definitely...

"Perfect for couples! Cozy fireplace, hot tub, comfortable bed with fantastic view!Close to town but feels very secluded.We highly recommend The Secret Shack and hope to stay there again on a future trip!"

"Outstanding stay all around! Chris was waiting for us to show us around the house when we arrived. Everything was exactly as it is shown in the listing. The view is even better than it appears in pictures. The property has everything you need and is secluded and relaxing. The hot tub was awesome. We will definitely return."

"This is a fabulous mountain getaway! My husband and I went for a few days to celebrate a milestone birthday and wanted to rent someplace really special. This property is beyond special! It is so unique, well designed, well built and is in the most spectacular setting! Every feature of every room was clearly well thought out with extraordinary taste in decor, fixtures and amenities. The drive to the cabin on the partly paved, partly gravel road leads to an amazing, secluded, and peaceful...

"The cabin is located in a beautiful place. It’s a little older than what it looks in the pictures, but it’s a nice and cozy place. We could not make the heat work and the cabin was a little cold for us. Other than that, we had a good time. 🙂"

"Very thankful to find this rare gem, my husband has mobility issues-grateful for no stairs and being pet friendly. Convenient to Granfather Winery and trout fishing."

"Great spot right in the heart of town! Much bigger and well appointed than we expected! Enjoyed our stay and being able to walk to everything!!! Bed was incredibly comfortable and well stocked with coffee and fixings, shampoos etc. We look forward to coming back! Highly recommend 5 stars!"

"We stayed 2 weeks.The only things that we needed to bring with us were a freezer, microwave oven & food for 3 weeks.A 2 week supply of coffee was left for us and the housekeeper was very helpful.I managed to get some sunning in on the deck.Neighbors dogs are friendly- friendlier if you feed them.We'd go back fer sure.al"

"Very clean and host was responsive."

"The host overturned our pet fee because she liked our cleanup. She even offered to defer it for future stays. That's awesome."

"Loved how quiet it was and convenience to Boone and Blowing Rock. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Enjoyed grilling one night. The cabin is so cozy! Would definitely stay there again."

"The couch is way to low for tall people with knee problems."

"Host was super nice and accommodating and space was super clean and cozy."

"The location is perfect when visiting Boone. Loved being able to walk to the shops and restaurants!"

"It was a nice experience staying there, the only thing was that we ran out of hot water."

"Beautiful property! Lots of space and perfect for larger families! We will absolutely be back! Our kids played on the playground and enjoyed watching the cows daily!"
