BEAUTIFUL!

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the mountains, and the 65 foot waterfall in the community was a real treat. Our grandchildren had a blast catching crayfish.

The pictures do not do the view justice. The cabin itself is beautiful, the trails & water nearby excellent, but the view of the mountains was the star of our vacation. 10/10, will go back.

Wonderful view and immaculate cabin

It's a bit of a hike up the mountain but so very worth the trip! The view is spectacular and sitting in the hot tub or rockers enjoying the view was such a treat. Spectacular sunset. Very clean. Comfy beds. All the amenities you need. Highly recommend!!

Incredible views

This was our second stay at the Buck Mountain Community-- and we can't wait to return! The cabin, the views, the property are all worth it! We enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub, the fishing pond and the waterfall! We have two young boys and they enjoyed catching fish at the pond and crayfish at the waterfall. The sunset was stunning right from the back deck!

Mountain getaway

Wonderful home overlooking the mountains. Beautiful sunsets and cool mornings to enjoy our coffee and listening to the birds on the deck. Being from flat Florida, the road to the home was a little scary. Just me…..

Peace and Relaxation Vacation

My husband, I, our son and his friend and our dog had a wonderful, relaxing vacation stay at the Buck Mountain Getaway. The cabin was well-appointed, with two large decks (where we spent most of our time enjoying the cool breezes and the view!!!!) and the boys had their own “floor” where they could play their video games without the “parents”. So happy to have have had the opportunity to enjoy our down time on Buck Mountain, in this beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Spectacular Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable mountain home. The views are amazing and we had hours of entertainment watching the hummingbirds at the feeder on the upper deck. The hot tub is a nice bonus to the property. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is because we felt we needed to clean a few things before using them (pots/pans/cooking utensils). Noteworthy for future guests: the pillows are very soft, so if that doesn't appeal to you, you should consider bringing your own.

Beautiful Mountain Stay

This was the perfect place for a restful and restorative getaway. The views are truly stunning, with beautiful sunsets as a result of the Southwestern exposure--we watched several from the hot tub! There is lots of room to spread out, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the owners are responsive and attentive. The location is remote, so heed the encouragement to buy groceries on your way up the mountain. It is true that once you arrive you won't want to leave! We spent 4 nights, and only ventured out once for a pleasant daytrip to Boone. We also enjoyed the firepit, and the welcome basket for smores and treats! Highly recommended.

The property and house were fine. The views are outstandingHowever the ride up and down to the home was awful. It takes an extra half hour to get anywhere from there because of the road'Having to make a daily trip to the dumpster was also not pleasant

Thank you for your input. This is a special, remote home nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains . All of these details were clearly stated in the listing. This rental is for people that want to get away and enjoy nature. This is why we and many others love it. We would suggest that on your next rental you choose a location better suited for your needs.

Perfect Cabin

We so enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views. Very clean . It has everything you could possibly need. The only complaint I have is that our stay was not long enough.

Mountain Getaway

Even though we had a few small issues during our stay overall everything was great. The response back from the owner was very timely for any issues we had. The location was perfect, as it felt very secluded but was nearby neighbors. I would definitely rent again from the same location.

Cozy winter cabin

Great views and privacy for a nice getaway in the mountains. Tons of hiking in the area and it even snowed one morning. Lots of room for the dog to run and explore. Had some encounters with the stinkbugs but no major issues. Overall very pleased with the stay.

Church retreat for young adults

This cabin offers a million dollar westerly view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My group (ages 18-28) absolutely loved the amenities and environment. While most of the neighbors were cordial, we did have one aggressive neighbor who confronted members of our group in an unfriendly manner concerning a perceived rule violation. Other than that - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return again.

Perfect Mountain Getaway!

My husband stayed here and said the property was enjoyed by all. The fire-pit, walking trails, and property views were the highlights of the short trip. Not too far outside of Boone, and there was a great small town nearby for shopping and dining. We hope to return with the family in the spring or summer!
