Wonderful stay!

The home was clean, welcoming, well stocked, and very straight forward with how to use and work everything. The host was extremely helpful and super easy to reach. My only complaint is really minimal - it rained a good bit during out trip and the porches are not rain proof. HOWEVER - the hot tub/grill/outdoor space is rain proof. Otherwise fantastic!

Great views, Better Accommodations!

This was a great place to stay! We have stayed at a number of locations and this one literally has it all! The kitchen was stocked great, the house has everything you need to relax (hot tub, great porches with views, etc) and for the kids to enjoy as well (games - board games, video games, pool, and more). The owners were also great about communication. Always available for any questions.The beds were comfortable and the rooms were large. Having two living rooms was another added bonus. The only downside was the stay wasn't long enough, but they never are. Would totally recommend for one or two families - great place to stay and great owners!

Perfect Mountain Get Away!

This house was the perfect fit for our weekend get away. My family, brother’s family which had smaller children and our mom stayed here for the weekend. The house is perfectly set up to accommodate our teenage children and well as the toddlers. I can’t speak enough about the views! Breathtaking and the home is set up on all levels to soak in the sights! From the porch swing, to the rocking chairs and outside dining! This house was enjoyable from the inside game room that was perfect for all ages as well as the outside areas that had a fire pit and hot tub! House was very clean and had everything we needed! We will definitely rent this location again!

Amazing vacation home with amazing views and amenities!

Wonderful, clean, well maintained home with one of the best views in the high country. (Owner) is amazing and makes it super easy to communicate regarding details of the stay or otherwise! Goes the extra mile to inform and educate on attractions, restaurants, and other opportunities in the area. I have stayed here twice within the past 4 months and am looking forward to our next stay!

Best VRBO Ever Stayed At

I would give this place 10 stars if it would let me. To start the host is great and really truly cares about you having the best stay possible. The home is exactly as advertised if not even better. Everything is stocked amazingly from the games, books, baby items to every kitchen utensils/tool you could possible want or need and then some. The views and sunrises were breathtaking and something we will cherish. The hot tub made an amazing home even better with being able to relax and take in the views. We are already planning our trip back to this home next year.

Amazing stay!

We were so happy with our stay here! The amenities were wonderful, and the cabin provided almost everything we could’ve needed. There was lots of space to spread out, which worked great as two couples with little babies. The view of the mountains was excellent. The kitchen is well stocked (no need to bring salt and pepper!). Plenty of seating in the dining area, good blankets available, and lots of games in the basement. Location was convenient to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and other towns. This cabin is really close to Grandfather Mtn and the trails too. The host was very communicative throughout the stay and very helpful. Hot tub was a fun item too! We’ll be back.

Amazing

What an incredible place to stay, 5 star all the way. Multiple spaces that will entertain a whole family, cosy, efficient, super clean. We were able to enjoy Blowing Rock, Boone close location and even went to Sugar mountain. Pool table and Pac man video was a hit for the adults, entertaining for sure. Fully stocked kitchen and coffee to sit and enjoy incredible views of Grandfather mountain. Will return for sure.

Spot on with Family Vacation Spot!

We had a great time visiting this VRBO. We had a range of ages visiting with us who all enjoyed their time. We were able to enjoy the game room, hot tub and morning sunrise views with our family - we even got to see some snow and flurries on our way out. ☺️ We are super grateful for Ruthie and her family for helping us with recommendations as well. We hope to come back in the near future!

Just Perfect

We just returned home from our stay at Wish You Were Here 7Devils and everything was just perfect. So much thought was put into every room in this house. The kitchen was fantastic and stocked way better than any other rental we have ever stayed in. The basement area was perfect for kids and adults and was stocked with games for all ages. The communication with the owners was phenomenal and so kind! I felt like we were longtime friends:) We spent most of our time on the beautiful porch admiring the view. The location of the the house was perfect for quick trips to Banner Elk, Boone, Blowing Rock and Linville. I would highly recommend the Otter Falls hike if you are feeling adventurous! It was so close and the waterfalls were absolutely worth it! We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Joni , Pittsboro, NC
