Cozy Cabin

The cabin was nestled up a hill in a private, small community. Beautiful trees with 2 front porch views. The furniture was nice quality and fit the beautiful classy bear theme! The loft beds are exactly that, a loft, but they had their own bathroom so it was good for kids. We loved this property and the host was very sweet. It was very convenient to App, blue ridge, Tweetsie railroad, Banner Elk and a 30 min drive to grandfather mountain-perfect for us. You will definitely enjoy your stay.

Wonderful Girls Trip

Our book club recently did a mountain getaway and this was the perfect spot. The location was great and it was a wonderful house to gather in. The kitchen is really well appointed and there were plenty of televisions hooked up to lots of different streaming services to please everyone. I will note because I did not realize when I booked that the upstairs has no doors so it is more of a lofted area which would be ideal for children but was a little awkward for 5 adults. It was a wonderful weekend and I am so grateful to our wonderful hosts who were so accommodating with early check-in/out and great recommendations on where to eat in the area, super responsive and fabulous.

Great place to stay

Located at a good distance between downtown Boone and banner elk, easy to access both places. Sugar mountain as well. Quiet and a beautiful mountain cabin. Porch is great. Lots of room to spread out over the 3 levels. Would rent again. You do have to access stairs to get to the main level. Thanks!

Great cabin

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It had everything you would need and more. Location was very convenient for our trip to App State. Owner was very responsive and kindly answered our questions about local hikes and restaurants. If you're looking for a mountain cabin without the treacherous roads to reach it, this is the place. The cabin and grounds are very well kept and clean. I definitely recommend this cabin.

Wonderful rental!

We enjoyed our stay at this property and highly recommend it! Communication with the owners was prompt and friendly, and the kitchen is well-stocked with condiments and other necessities to help you during the stay. We were two families traveling together and the layout is perfect for the kids to be upstairs and the adults on the main floor. One thing we particularly liked about this rental is the kitchen table was large enough for our group of 10 to have dinner together. The fireplace adds to the coziness of the mountain retreat during the cold winter.

Peace & Quiet

It was such a nice house. It was clean, and had everything we needed for four days. The kids had a blast just being outside and playing down in the game room. Speaking to the owner was amazing too, she’s the sweetest and she’s on top of everything.

Thanksgiving Getaway

This cabin worked very well for us. There was room for the three girls (ages 11-20) in the loft, two adult couples on the main floor, and the or son the bachelor in the basement. We were close enough for our son and daughter-in-law to visit and still run Cafe Violette in Blowing Rock. A family friend from Charlotte was able to visit for the day. This was one of the cleanest houses we have ever rented! Parking was good and walking around the loop burned off some of those Thanksgiving calories. All in all this turned out to be a great choice!
