The cabin is very nice and the area is very beautiful and central. Very clean and well equipped. We had a problem with the heating but the management was very responsive to assist which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend that management ensure that heaters are working and on before guests. arrive given the cold. It could have easily avoided any inconvenience. I would highly recommend the cabin.

We had an amazing stay! This cabin is so cozy! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The hot tub is great. Temperature was perfect and it was so clean! The cabin is near several activities, so you can easily go out to a restaurant or go on a hike. The cabin had a log fireplace that was so nice. There was plenty of fire wood. The heat works well in the bedrooms. We kept the doors shut and the heat on to keep them warm. The main living space, kitchen, and loft area has one heating unit, but it doesn't really keep it warm. You will need to light a fire! Which was no problem at all for us. Everything is very user friendly. All the switches are labeled and there was clear instructions for the fireplace and checkout. We had a wonderful time!! You will not be disappointed!

Nice Cabin

Cabin was just as described. Very clean and cozy. Plenty of firewood for the inside fireplace and outside firepit. Had a small issue with heat due to the out of the ordinary frigid temperatures NC was having. One call to the management company and someone was out there very quickly to assess and repair. Mountainous road remained clear during the mini blizzard that occurred during our stay. All and all, a wonderful experience.

Exceeded Expectations

Cabin was very cozy and comfortable. Kitchen had everything necessary. Cabin was pet friendly and we brought our two dogs. Not a lot of yard space for the dogs but there is a great trail right behind the cabin to walk them. There is also some good greenspace a short walk away for dogs. There are a few cabins relatively close, so if you bring dogs plan on using a leash unless they are very good with recall. We lucked out and the nearby cabins were vacant. Cabin is in a great location and roads going to it were in great shape.

Beautiful and relaxing

As mentioned in other reviews there are some small handyman thinhs that could be/should be done, but my party of four had a fantastic time. The home is comfortable and convenient to Grandfather's Mountain. Stores and restaurants are close. I did have an easier time finding the place by looking at the shed from the pictures than trying to find the street number. The only thing I would change would be putting big log seats around the fire pit instead of the cinderblock bench so visitors can easily rearange. All in all a fantastic spot!

Romantic Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a place to escape the heat for a few days. Great place overall, however, the hot tub is NOT private at all - it is right next to the neighbor's house and the privacy doesn't exist unless the house is vacant. We had a problem with the window AC and were told someone would be out that night - it was at least 15 plus hours before someone came out. With the exception of those two problems, great stay!

Great cabin as long as the outside temp is above 25 degrees

We loved the cabin and enjoyed spending Christmas there - very clean, well-stocked kitchen, new appliances, plenty of towels and comforters, and a good amount of firewood, which we needed! However, the main floor bathroom did not have any heat, so it was literally freezing in there - ice in the shower and you see your breath. It was very cold while we were there, and the heat on the main floor couldn't warm the rooms until it got above 25. It was unusually cold, so this is somewhat understandable. The upstairs loft was very warm, though. The thermostats are confusing and don't really seem to control anything. Hot tub was great! If it's going to be cold while you are there, just be sure to bring lots of layers and thermals.

Beautiful location and a great place to stay

We had a wonderful visit and are overall happy with our stay. The hot tub was clean and we really enjoyed using it. The neighborhood is beautiful and fun to walk. We saw deer every day, in fact the front yard had about 20 of them late one night. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The coffee maker is a basic one, so bring ground coffee. There were filters in the cabinet, which is a plus. The kids loved playing foosball upstairs and rocking on the front porch swing. As the other reviews noted, the heat did feel a little tricky to regulate. We brought our own thermostat controlled portable heater just in case. The driveway is easy to navigate, and relatively flat with plenty of room. You do share the driveway with neighboring cabin, but has separate parking areas. If you are staying a while, I would recommend bringing a few extra dishwasher pods and laundry pods. It was nice being able to do our laundry often. We also had the best meals at The Local and Melanie's Food Fantasy, both located downtown Boone.

Fair weather cabin

Nice size cabin for a family of four. Well stocked kitchen, good location to bounce between Boone, Blowing Rock, skiing and grandfather mountain. Hot tub was great. Quiet area. Similar feedback to other reviews, inability to control the temperature was frustrating on a cold weekend. Upstairs nice and warm downstairs cold. No heat in master bath. Still burnt out lightbulbs everywhere, and fixing or replacing a barely functional rocking chair (bottom falling out)in the living room could go a long way. If temp control issues were fixed I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cabin. But I would think twice about renting again in January. Even a robust fire could not heat up the downstairs. Also bring your own kindling, newspaper and lighter/matches! If I knew I would have brought an electro blanket and a little portable heater for the downstairs bathroom. We all ended up using the upstairs one because it was just unbearable at times:( I would also recommend the bedding needs refreshed. All seemed dirty/ yellowed from age…and extra comforters were just thrown on the floor of the closets. Should be washed and placed in dust covers. Minor things but all would make a difference in a three vs four or five star review.
