Beautiful property and great location. We hosted our immediate family and our daughter’s wedding reception at the barn on the property. We had rain for most of the days we were there, but the property drains very well. Rain unbelievably stopped during the wedding reception and sun came out for a couple hours. Thank goodness! Made for a gorgeous setting and we were so glad we made the choice to host here. We visit BE and the area like 4-6 times a year to see our daughter. We’ve stayed on Beech, Sugar Mtn, in Boone, etc and this location is best especially if large family. Don’t have to navigate 20min of switchbacks to get down the mountain. In fact one evening the entire family just walked down the gravel path to have dinner at Puerto Nuevo’s. We saw deer, rabbits, and even a bobcat. My bird app identified like 16 different species one morning while having my coffee on the second level deck. There are so many little nooks to have privacy if you want as well as open space for larger gathering. I will definitely be back with family and friends.

Our Senior Trip!

The home was beautiful. It was comfortable and close to Sugar Mountain. The kids loved coming home to a warm home made dinner and they loved sitting outside on the porches. The adults were comfortable and loved the fire pit. The convenience of the location was wonderful. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.

Elopement Wedding

The photos don’t even do this house or property justice, it’s even more beautiful in person. This house was absolutely perfect for our small wedding ceremony. We had both of our immediate families stay with us and got married on the deck overlooking the property. There were also so many beautiful areas for photographs. We would definitely love to stay again for a big family vacation.

Awesome weekend!

We recently stayed at this charming cabin and it exceeded all our expectations! The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin itself is a gem. It's not only impeccably maintained but also thoughtfully designed, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Having multiple bathrooms was a huge plus, ensuring everyone had their own space and privacy. The property manager responded to the messages quickly and friendly. Thank you to the property manager and the owners for sharing this wonderful cabin with us. p.s. Apple map provide better direction than google map

House worth the trip alone!!

We had a large group planning a multi-family ski trip to Sugar. Turns out the weather was not great and we got rained out one day completely and crowded out mostly the second. As it turns out, we had as much fun at this house as we did on the slopes. Barn area was nice to get outside yet out of the weather. Kids ran around the property and played, did some light nature walks and after the rain, we had a nice fire in the huge fire pit. Pleanty of space inside and lots of bedrooms to accommodate multiple families. More than enough bathrooms, nice appointments, great layout, great condition, fantastic porches and convenient to everything in the area. Next time I come to town, I know where I'll be staying!!

Magical cabin and Wedding Venue

The property is absolutely beautiful and the additional barn that was used for our wedding reception was stunning. We had a amazing weekend and couldn’t have without the help of Patrick. He was there every time I had a question or needed help. The house is fully stocked with all that we needed. Beds were comfy, 2 spacious living rooms and Kitchens. The house and barn are well provided for and are spotless. A wonderful rent for a wedding (such as us) or a family reunion. Tons of space and views to look at. The pond being one of the most beautiful At night. Everything is so well lit! Thank you for the best weekend. I wish cherish these memories forever.
