Mountain Bliss
We had the best and most relaxing weekend at this property. The cabin/home matches the pictures perfectly. It is very clean, beds are comfortable, more than enough linens, with a fully stocked kitchen. The fireplace quickly heats the entire home. The best part is having morning coffee and watching the sun rise over the mountains through the huge livingroom windows with a fire crackling. Would highly reccomend this property and cannot wait to come back! Oh, Also - they might have the best DVD collection ive ever seen!

Great Stay
The house was very nice. It was as clean as a whistle. The fireplace insert was great and we kept a fire going most of our stay. My kids were so excited it took an hour and a half to get them to bed our first night. We really enjoyed our stay.

Spacious retreat but missing some comforts
The layout of the house is great (except for bathroom) and everything you might want is provided. We didn’t cook on this trip but kitchen seemed well supplied. Things to improve would be the shower curtain and rugs/mats in bathroom - they looked kind of gross so we covered them with towels - that is an improvement that would cost very little. The mattresses are probably okay for young people but were not good for us - we tried both full size beds and had same result both nights. And the couch is not comfortable to sit on for very long.

Fall visit with College Student
Great quiet, out-of-the-way cottage hide-away to have family conversation, crafting and home cooking with our college student. Nicely updated and decorated cottage with an wonderful picture window to watch the mountain, weather, and nature's friends. Would definitely stay again!

Great house in the countryside outside Boone.
The house is lovely and very relaxing. There's everything you need. The location is very peaceful but you can easily get into Boone. There was a slight misunderstanding at check in and the house wasn't cleaned but I couldn't have asked for more from the host. Sharon answered my messages straight away and rectified the issue/got the house cleaned very quickly. Thank you!

Awesome Mountain Cottage
The photos are very accurate - this place is cute, cozy, and clean, with great views. It's close to Boone and Blowing rock, yet quiet and isolated from the crowds and tourists. We had some really amazing views of the stars at night, and enjoyed sitting on the front porch with coffee and book in hand in the mornings. When I made the reservation, I was slightly worried about the gravel road, but it's only a short stretch and well maintained - my small Honda had no problems with it! We may make this an annual trip.

Affordable little place in the mountains
Loved the place. We have three little kids and it was perfect for them. It's about 15 minutes into town and within 30 minutes to an hour of numerous trails, waterfalls, parks, activities, Tweetsie, etc. Very quiet and secluded with a nice mountain view. Check in was easy and the price is very fair.

Weekend Retreat
Overall we had a wonderful stay. Beautiful view, quiet, with comfortable beds! Two items could improve future stays. 1) The property was clean with the exception of: dusty countertop by the microwave, popcorn on the kitchen floor and and tortilla chips crumbs by the bunk beds. 2) We are seniors and we would recommend a bathmat and/or another hand rail in the tub as the tub floor was slightly slippery.

Beautiful, clean, and quiet cabin with gorgeous views and plenty of space. Only downside was the small tv because my boyfriend has one eye but we improvised and used our laptop to watch tv so it worked out. Other than that the stay was amazing and would love to stay there again in the future.

The perfect place for our family!
We spent Easter weekend in Boone and wanted to be close to good hiking and downtown Boone. This house was perfect for our family of 5. It was clean, well-stocked, and the television and WiFi worked great! This will be our go-to stay when we return to Boone.
