This is our second stay, and it was equally enjoyable to the first. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are clean. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. It’s a perfect place to sit and relax and watch the leaves fall.

The house is very nicely decorated and well set up, more like a regular house and not so cabin themed like many others we looked at. The hosts communicated well when we asked questions. It was very quiet and only about 15-20 min away from Boone. I would stay here again.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

A delightful home and hosts! We were visiting for the Doc and Rosa Lee Bluegrass Festival so it was a perfect location. It’s not far from some of the other city centers for daytime excursions. The house is well appointed and designed well! We all enjoyed our stay!

A wonderful family weekend

My sisters and sister-in-law and I very much enjoyed staying at this home while visiting my son and his family and the Boone and Banner Elk area. It was very comfortable and spotless and beautifully decorated. We arrived late and found the twisting and hilly approach and driveway a little daunting the first time after dark but the surroundings are also lovely in the daylight!

Thanksgiving away

We stayed here for a family Thanksgiving trip. House is beautiful and everything you need is there. Pictures don't do it justice - so well decorated, comfortable and pretty! Kitchen and living room are spacious, and we had plenty of room to cook and gather. Mitchell (owner) was very responsive to the few questions I had on arrival. Would definitely recommend this cabin...thanks for a wonderful holiday!
