Thank you, Dennis, for your fantastic 10/10 review! We’re so glad you felt welcomed from the moment you arrived and enjoyed the thoughtful touches throughout the 607 Guest House. Creating a themed vacation rental that immerses our guests in the reason they’ve come to Boone in the first place is something we truly enjoy. From the front porch for relaxing to the snacks, coffee, and those little extras that help make a stay feel like home, it all comes together to create more than just a place to drop your bags and lay your head—it makes your stay part of the experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again!
Our experience was absolutely amazing. I can't say enough not only about this property, but the accommodations, the hospitality. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back for sure. We are already planning out next trip.
This property was the perfect choice for friend group stay, We travelled to Boone to experience the railway history and train rides...the theme of the home was the cherry on top for our stay. The home is very nicely appointed with amenities that make your stay easier and the kitchen is well stocked with nearly everything needed! My group especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the ample sized front porch.

Cheryl, thank you for the phenomenal 10/10 review! I’m thrilled that your friend group enjoyed your train-themed getaway in Boone! This is the first time a guest has described the home’s train theme as the “cherry on top” of their stay, and I love it! Putting myself in our guests’ shoes, I believe thoughtful amenities, a well-stocked kitchen and welcoming spaces are must-haves for an enjoyable stay. Since reopening our historic front porch just last year after decades of it being enclosed, it’s become a guest favorite for reconnecting, relaxing and enjoying a favorite cup of coffee from the 607 Guest House coffee bar. Thank you for choosing the 607 Guest House for your getaway. You and your group were 5-star guests, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Thank you, Matthew, for your 5-star review! We're so glad you found the 607 Guest House to be a peaceful place to unwind. Providing a comfortable, relaxing stay with all the amenities of home to make your visit as effortless as possible is what we strive for. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Boone again!

The house was very clean and uniquely decorated. Easy to get to, easy check in, loved the porch we used it several times for our stay and wished it was longer! Very close to downtown for Pufferbelly days. Just a great all around house! Hope to stay there again! Thank you!

The hosts were fantastic and the property was exactly what we were looking for. They were quick to communicate with us, and even offered us complimentary check in and check out since we drove far and had stormy weather. The house was adorable, super close to the Rail Explorers and not far from the High Trestle Trail Bridge, and we absolutely loved sitting on the front porch. The hosts put a lot of love and effort into making the house and our stay perfect!

Comfortable and roomy spaces, except for 1st floor bathroom (tiny). Upstairs bath is very big. Beverages and snacks were very generous. Kitchen floor could have used a quick mopping, but everything else was clean.

Merri, thank you for your thoughtful Guest Book review! One of the best parts of hosting at the 607 Guest House is watching the story grow through the travelers who find us and appreciate the genuine hospitality that makes our home unique.

We strive to provide a wonderful experience for every guest, from a clean, welcoming home to yummy snacks and our 607 Guest House coffee & tea bar, where everyone can customize their favorite cup. Thank you for choosing the 607 Guest House for your sisters’ getaway and for being part of our growing story of travelers!
It was wonderful. Be nice to have a second shower but that is hard to do in an 1800’s home.

Wendell, thank you for the fantastic 10/10 review! I’m delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness, communication and comforts of home. We agree that a second shower would certainly be the icing on the cake for this 1867 home! Thankfully, the mirrored dressers in the bedrooms, second main-floor bathroom and AM/PM shower schedules give guests a little more flexibility when getting ready... and our hidden towel pass-through keeps plenty of fresh towels handy for groups of all sizes! Thank you for choosing to stay with us for your Boone visit. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
Excellent location for a weekend stay of a family reunion at Ledges and golf at Honey Creek. We appreciated all the amenities. Will definitely be staying again.

This was a beautiful home. Our group really enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again. The hosts were very accommodating and made it easy to stay.
Great stay over a long weekend. Lovely older house that had a fantastic train theme that our boys loved! Plus the newly opened up front porch was great for morning coffee.
