We loved this home and the hosts so much! The home was pristine when we arrived and truly had a stocked kitchen so that we were able to prepare full meals easily! The drive up to the house is beautiful and the roads were in great shape and clear. The location of the home was great for us to visit several towns like Boone, Banner Elk, West Jefferson, Elk River, Valle Crucis and so many more! I have to say that the entire family thought the trash compactor was so cool! Thanks for a great trip!

Awesome!

We stayed at Spring Lodge for our niece’s wedding at Wonderlust Acres. The house was great, the porch was awesome and Pat and Rich were fabulous. When I called them to let them know we had gotten in early and was wondering if we could get an early check in they did not hesitate to accommodate my request. My only complaint is…our stay was not long enough.

Lorie - Thank you for your kind review. It gives Pat and me a great deal of pleasure when our guests have enjoyed their stay at our home enough to write us a review such as you did. You have made us feel like kindergarten kids when they get their first "Gold Star". One of the bonuses we get from our listings is when a stay at Spring Lodge meets or exceeds a guest's expectations and helps to make that groups visit to the mountains a wonderful experience. We hope you will visit us again and sooner rather than later.

What a special place!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this beautiful spot. We were with good friends, and we remarked over and over about what a special, comfortable place this was. Our hosts were very attentive, and we were so sad our trip was cut short by us leaving quite early the last morning, because we missed their offered homemade chocolate croissants ❤️ Do yourself a favor, and book this incredible Spring Lodge.
