Late ski trip and couples retreat

Area and views were beautiful, the place was cozy and rustic, running water could be heard the entire time with several beautiful creeks nearby. Bed comfy, heat worked good, and a great place to relax. Kitchen could use some love and utensils to cook with, but overall very satisfying stay. Hot tub was superb!

Beautiful Cabin Not So Great Experience

The cabin itself was beautiful and spacious. It perfectly accommodated 7 people during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the cabin itself was clean. The ice maker in kitchen did not work they did however, provide ice trays. The door on the first floor (where the pull-out couches are) did not lock. The jacuzzi did function properly during our stay, and it was not able to heat up. The power on the first floor continuously went off. For those traveling in the winter, the cabin is located up on a road Carolina Cabin Rentals does not regularly pave. We had a total of two cars both 4WD. The first one that arrived was not able to make it up on the first day and had to call for assistance. When we arrived the A/C appeared to be broken. It did not heat up past 40 degrees. During the time of our stay, the weather was between 20-30 degrees outside, and it was constantly snowing. I will say Tim in Customer Service was extremely helpful and attentive during our stay. He checked in with us several times during the first few days. Mike in maintenance was also extremely attentive and helpful. He ended up placing space heaters in each room and attempted to turn on the fireplace (which was never able to stay on). The A/C problem was never resolved during our stay. Carolina Cabin Rentals only refunded one-night of our stay. When we requested to be relocated to another one of their cabins, they were unable to since everything was booked due to it being a holiday weekend. The rest of our stay was very uncomfortable. The space heaters had us waking up constantly through out the night from how hot it would get. We couldn't turn them off because the A/C stayed stuck around 59 degrees. During the day, when we would call in about the unpaved road covered in snow (on their property) Carolina Cabin Rentals said it was their not responsibility, that we could call in a tow truck to assist us in getting out, which would cost us out of pocket around $75. They said the owner was the one responsible for sending someone to pave the road, and he would get to us at some point during the day, which he never did. My two stars is for the property itself. It was spacious, well-maintained, and had beautiful view. It was centrally located 5 minutes away from downtown Blowing Rock and the Appalachian Ski Resort. It was around 10 minutes from Boone. Management could improve overall professionalism and understanding when issues like these occur during a stay.

Good but not great

The house was nice but the view was not as good as I was hoping. Hot tub had not been cleaned. There were many leaves and bugs in the water and when we sat in it, the seats were covered with dirt and grit. The fireplace and fire pit were very nice and we really enjoyed the shuffle board table.

Kingfisher stay during COVID

The house was nice, however when in the master bedroom you can hear all footsteps and talking in the room above. Very loudly. There is no kitchen trash can, just a tiny bathroom one so you have to hang your garbage bags on a door hanger. Not bad, but awkward. Cell phone coverage is only 1 bar unless you are on the front porch in the far corner and get 2. Most calls are dropped due to it. Wouldn't notice it if they had wifi. The entire 2.5 weeks we were there the wifi did not work. During COVID that is unacceptable. You cannot go to the nearby Starbucks to get on your computer, they are only drive thru. You can't have an adult night out and leave the kids because they can't get on their phones and the tvs in their rooms were internet only. The tv downstairs was direct tv, but only with the very minimum of shows. You spent more time selecting to find that channel was unavailable than you could find an actual adult show. Cartoons were it. Our boys were 14, so they weren't as excited with that selection. Overall it did not make an relaxing vacation.

4 Stars

Our following comments are below: 1. Inside had a lot of cob webs from spiders throughout the cabin and especially in the basement. 2. The pullout sofa in the basement mattress needs to be replaced. It does not sleep well at all. 3. Could not locate ironing board. 4. Outdoor furniture should have been cleaned before our arrival. We had to clean it and sweep the the upper and lower patio area. 5. We had brooms to sweep but no dust pan to pick up debris inside the cabin. Overall our stay went well, if these minor concerns are address my family would consider staying at the Kingfisher once a quarter going forward.

Beautiful cabin in Blowing Rock

The pictures are true to the cabin. Beautiful and spacious and clean! Some reviews that we read prior to arriving or that there were not enough kitchen appliances or adequate pot and pan sizes. We did not find this to be true. There was one of every size and plenty of cooking utensils. The kids absolutely loved the Rec room on the second floor. No yard to run around in but the fire pit area and hot tub makes up for that. Considerations: they will only collect one bag of garbage for your entire stay. You would have to go to the nearby dump if you have more than one garbage bag. We only stayed two nights so thankfully this was not an issue for us but I can imagine if we were there for longer it would be. No one particularly wants to take a ride to the dump on a vacation. I do feel that the housekeeping service can be slightly improved as there seem to be a couple of closets with rolled up blankets/comforters on the floor. This made me believe they were not clean. The washer and dryer in the unit was very necessary as housekeeping does not replenish towels. As they state in the reservation details, There are not a lot of supplies such as dishwashing detergent, toilet paper, tissues etc. but certainly enough to get you through a day or two. The outside decks were also not very clean, but we did arrive during rainy days so I can imagine that is why the outside was not touched up. The AC unit was difficult to control (nest) and was set up at 76- 80 degrees (which resets every couple hours) which is uncomfortable in the summer season (especially upstairs). The Internet is extremely slow and we had to unplug and reset an order to get it to work at all. Overall the cabin was very beautiful, great furniture and added decoration touches made this a beautiful place to stay. Even with those issues, we would stay again. I can only imagine this would be so beautiful in the winter time with the great room with real log fireplace. I gave 4 stars just due to the issues above which are not a reflection of the cabin itself rather the maintenance co. Small changes could make this 5 stars.

Great Long Weekend Get Away~

Great long weekend Getaway! We enjoyed the cabin stay. Cabin is fairly new. Clean and great location to Boone or Blowing rock. We had 3 young kids that loved the upstairs and the Hot tub. only issues. many channels blocked out of direct TV. No easy way to open the Hot Tub fully. Both are minor issues. Overall We would 1000% recommend the cabin to others

Very Nice Cabin

The Cabin was very nice. There were a few minor issues - the TV and internet didn't work, and the kitchen was a little lacking in basics (there were no mixing bowls) - but all in all, the cabin was fantastic, very clean, and the customer service of the owners/rental company was exceptional. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful in every way

Three generations rendezvoused from north or east to spend a family weekend. The cabin suited us perfectly. The 8 year old loved the hot tub and the teepee. The architecture and the decor in the cabin left us in awe. Rain prevented us from using the fire pit. The shuffleboard game in the game room got a lot of use.

Beautiful home

This is a beautiful home! Very clean and updated. The only complaint I have is that there were no large pots in the kitchen. There were only a couple of very small pots, and we were planning a pasta dinner for eight people. There were plenty of frying pans just not pots. Other than that the kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Just be aware that 2 of the sleeping spots are on a sofa bed. The kitchen has 3 counter stools in addition to the table for 6, so 9 could eat in the kitchen. The living room could use some more seating. Only has a couch and one chair. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The shuffleboard table was a nice addition to have too. There was an empty 2 car garage, so we were able to put a car in there and have room to park three on the driveway. The location was good. About a 15 minute easy drive to Boone, and only eight minutes to downtown Blowing Rock. All things considered this is a beautiful place and we really enjoyed our stay! We were also very pleased with Carolina Cabin Rentals. Very easy to deal with and quick to respond to any questions that we had!
