My husband and I needed to get away from reality for a few days, and this property was perfect. We watched gently falling leaves from the porch, and I fell in love with the rockers. The property was very spacious for the two of us, and we had a lovely 3-night-stay. We highly recommend this property!

The property was delightful and as described on VRBO. Would have been helpful to know both bathrooms were on the lower floor. 12 yr old would have liked to have had one TV upstairs. Owner was terrified and soo easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family loved staying here!

We loved this cabin. Everything was just as pictured. Beautiful, peaceful piece of property that was tucked away yet close to Boone. We were visiting or son at App State and found it to be a very convenient location. We loved the outdoor seating and the gas fireplace. Would highly recommend and are already planning to stay here again!

Cozy, peaceful cabin

The cabin was a perfect base while we moved our daughter into her dorm. Quiet, peaceful setting and only 10-15 minutes to campus. Plenty of beds. It was perfect for the 3 of us. Family spaces would have been a little tight if we had had all 5 of us.

Rustic cabin by a babbling brook, what can be nicer in the quiet mountains!All good, but my only beef is that the upstairs is not height suitable for a 6’5” guy.Oh, and yes, a bear attacked the outside garbage can the last night we were there, fortunately we had kept all the garbage inside as per instructions.

Bring additional light and watch your step!

So, if you enjoy a musty-smelling, damp-aired, outdated Jed Clampett home-where every corner creaks louder than Granny's rocking chair and the decor hasn't changed since oil was struck in the backyard-then this is the place for you! And that faint scent of mildew? Well, that's just the house's way of saying it's lived a full life. Ideal for anyone who loves vintage... or has a strong tolerance for questionable air quality! No seriously, I chose this house based off the wonderful reviews. But I felt like I was back in my granny’s house. Besides the kitchen, everything in this house needs updating, but that’s my opinion. Some ppl like reliving the 50’s. There are 2 other reviews that mentioned the outdoor lighting, one submitted over a year ago in 2023. Apparently the owners haven’t addressed the lighting. There is 1 light all the way at the end of the front porch that doesn’t nearly serve adequately. We wanted to enjoy the crisp night air on the porch and unless you want to sit in the pitch darkness with all the mountain critters, or light a candle, you’re out of luck. This is also a hazardous condition. We had to leave the car running with lights on to see our way into the house and the rocks at the back door are uneven and dangerous in the dark. I’m sorry, but this house wasn’t my cup of tea. Nevertheless, thank you for hosting us.

Mountain Getaway

The cabin was exactly as we expected. It was nice to have room for our young family of four. The patio and outdoor area was great! Our 22 month old loved pushing his dump truck in circles around the cabin! It is a lot traveling with two under two, and the third night free made the trip just a little bit longer and all the packing/unloading/adjusting worth it!

Lovely Setting

A wonderful visit with friends and stayed mostly on the porch to enjoy the trees, wildlife and creek. Very comfortable beds! We enjoyed our stay. As a cottage rental owner myself, please be aware of the poor lighting when getting out of cars by the kitchen at night. The stones along the walkway are hard to see. Two of us tripped and one fell, fortunately not hurt other than a skinned shin. We enjoyed being together and visiting friends in Valle Crucis.

Great Mountain Cabin

Stayed here again for a family weekend. The location is great. The kids really enjoyed playing in the backyard creek, and the yard was great for games. The back porch is perfect for relaxing at all times of the day. We've visited this cabin several times and would highly recommend!

Wonderful White Christmas

We spent Christmas here and had a wonderful stay. There was no snow in the forecast but it snowed the night before we came in and continued to snow off and on until Christmas Day. We arrived to snow at the cabin on Saturday and left the following Thursday with snow still on the ground in places. The cabin was in a great location to enjoy all local ski resorts, activities, and dining.

Great Little Cabin

Enjoyed our stay! Agree with previous reviews that it would be nice to have fewer items on the kitchen counters so you have room for your items you bring and for prepping food. But overall a very cute cabin and in a great location!
