"We stayed here for 2 nights to attend Merlefest in Wilkesboro. Checking in was simple with the help of extremely nice staff. Our one bedroom unit had plenty of room for 2 people and was very comfortable and clean. The unit was quiet which we really liked. The unit was well equipped with everything you would need. We enjoyed the property and its beautiful location. We definitely would stay here again!"

"The location of the house is nice, the neighborhood/community where it is located is really beautiful. We went for a stroll as soon as we arrived. We had a few hiccups and miscommunication with our stay but the host was understanding."

"Charming Scottish themed lodge, with friendly helpful staff."

"Everything was good overall. Great location, gorgeous view, comfortable, nice new bathrooms, except Fire place was not working. Walls were thin, windows wouldn’t all close, floors creaked every step. Just didn’t seem well made structurally. Safe but old. "

"Close to everything Boone has to offer but feels like you’re in your own private oasis! It was an absolutely gorgeous property with tons of amenities, very well maintained, and overall we were so overjoyed with our experience. The only thing it was missing was a hot tub! We will be back. "

"Very tired, shabby and in need of upgrade ... which they are working on. I read on reviews 'nice views', which i couldn't see through the dirty windows. 'Restaurant on premises' was closed due to renos so we had to go down the windy mountain road into town for dinner and breakfast (The Town Tavern in Banner Elk was excellent). Carpet desperately needs changing. What they could clean they did ... clean comfy bed (but a Murphy bed? how do you clean behind that? You don't! ). New shower curtain ... thank you. Shower head is awf. Linens clean. My suggestion, wait until renos are done and then give it a try ... there's potential"

"Very clean inside. That's the best I can say. The deck had not been cleaned in a LONG time and had metal pieces from the broken gutter laying around. I had to sweep it myself it was so bad. The spider webs on the lamp by the front door could have been out of a vampire movie. The internet is a joke. Could not get through a Netflix without it freezing multiple times. We gave up. Same with trying to get wifi on our devices; not happening. The house is in a neighborhood that is not that quiet. One neighbor running his ATV around while another was target practicing with his rifle. Could see three houses from the deck. Back door leading to a small deck was broken. Front door leading to the deck would not close properly. Bathroom heater not working but had a small portable there. Even the lock on the front door would not work when we checked out (probably dead battery). I've stayed in homes all over the world and enjoyed 99% of them. Not this one. And unfortunately, all these things would take no time at all to remedy. Unforced errors. But! The inside was clean! "

"This property is gorgeous, clean and perfect for a relaxing stay. The creek and waterfalls outside are beautiful. We left the windows and doors open as much as possible so we could hear them while we were at the property. We can't wait to come back again in the future!For those traveling with pets, the white house and green house each have a dog that come outside without leashes. A yellow lab and a Weimaraner. The lab is very friendly but came up on the deck without warning several times. The Weimaraner is barky but was also fine. "

"We really enjoyed our stay kitchen was well stocked, lots of games for the kids when it rained. The only complaint from my group was some nails on the back deck. We bought a hammer and fixed. The creek by the house was great for the kids to play in, and at night was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of water. Would definitly do it again"
