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.

Weekend in Vilas

This property is beautifully appointed!! Very clean and has lovely property. Quiet neighborhood and easy access to downtown Boone. The decks of the bedrooms are great for morning coffee or just relaxing throughout the day. We loved this place so much we are headed back less than a month later. Great value!!
