Overall it was good for location but definitely needs AC. It was hot raining around 81 in the house and opening the windows didn't help at night. Also blinds need cleaning and lift over the fan to prevent dust particles from flying around when using the fan.

Above the microwave, the outlet was hanging out. The blinds and lamp were dusty , but other than that, the stay was good.

Overall good stay and the cabin is nice and cozy and is well equipped. Also this is a great location to enjoy the area. House could have been cleaner - examples the toilet was dirty, and the house appeared as though just a 'surface" cleaning had been done. Also the water heater was turned off, which we didn't know until the next morning when we went to take showers. This resulted in us having to wait two hours to take showers which impacted our plans and schedule for the day. Renters should be told if the water heater is turned off as part of the check in process.

Perfect little getaway for our family of three. Our son loved the space outside (it snowed lightly the whole time) and the cabin had all the essentials for the extended weekend.

Disliked: Communication
The home was cute inside , view from the porch was partially cover by bushes . The TV in the main living area did not work the first night .. we left a message .. no response .. reached out once again a day later . Was told someone would be out .. nothing happened . The next day , which was are last night .. they texted to see if we would like a loner TV .No need since we were leaving the next morning . I first reached out on Monday night !!!!! We left on Friday morning .. a screen was missing on bedroom window .sliding screened door was broken and could not be used . ( no air conditioner) A little attention to maintenance and communication would greatly Improve this property..

Had one small issue which you guys handled quietly and quickly.The location was quiet and close to everything we wanted.I would suggest removing the strings of lights on the front porch. They light up the inside all night.

Great location!

We couldn't have asked for a better location. The house is so close to the Wilderness Alpine Coaster, Gem Mining, downtown Boone - and our main event The Land of OZ. I think this is the perfect for a family with 1-2 small children, or 2 adults. Great stay!

Charming Cabin

A great little cabin that had a great view from the porch. Everything you would need was provided, and it was immaculately clean and comfortable. It was also close to Boone and Blowing Rock and many wonderful hiking trails.

Super Great Stay

We have been traveling for approximately 18 months and have stayed at numerous locations both in the US and abroad. This stay was by far the best. The owner was responsive and Foscoe management provided outstanding service and support. Very proactive and quick. We will definitely be staying at the Sugar Shack and/or use properties managed by Foscoe again. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful stay!!
