Prepare yourself. The listing does not do this property justice. We are faithful VRBO users and have had great experiences. This one took it to an entirely new level. The house was immaculate. The kitchens were stocked as well or better than ours at home and we cook alot. The bathrooms were spotless. Everything about this property screams welcome home. The living rooms were inviting and perfect for socializing. The outdoor living space was very relaxing. The grounds were freshly mowed and lush. The icing on the cake was the barn. I wish we had had more time to utilize it. We did play a little corn hole and visit with the resident ground hog. We WILL be booking this property for future outings. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. She was over the moon with the accommodations. Thanks again!

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.

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.
