This home was just what we needed for a family vacation. Space for everyone, the firepit outside was very enjoyable, and spending time relaxing on the decks with those wonderful views of Grandfather Mountain is a perfect way to start the day. An added bonus was the arrival of several does and their young fawns every morning. They were perfectly content to graze around the house and road with us watching from only a few feet away - completely unbothered by our presence.

Perfect for our blended family of 7! Our teens had plenty of room, plenty of beds, plenty of activities to keep them occupied and happy. Kitchen cookware was awesome and fully stocked- really made cooking/ eating at the house a breeze. We are so thankful and happy. We will definitely be back and found our new home away from home.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

The property was a in a perfect location for all of our favorite mountain activities: Grandfather Mtn, Blowing Rock, Boone breweries, Banner Elk restaurants and the alpine coaster, and the Mast General Store in Valle Crucis. The view from inside and out was amazing and we enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. We would definitely love to stay again!

Family Time in the mountains

This was a perfect home to enjoy some quality family time with our grown children. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Grandfather Mtn State park. The beds were super comfy, and the home had great space for us all to spread out when needed, or to gather as a large group for games, or meals. We truly enjoyed our stay!

What a beautiful mountain home! Our family of 8 had such a wonderful time making memories. The location is close to a winery, shops, gem mining, hiking, and downtown Banner Elk but it feels so secluded. We enjoyed the area but made sure to spend most of our time at the house making smores, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and hanging out on the deck with the gorgeous view. It is also pet friendly and we appreciated being able to bring our dog and she loved the deer and hiking. The house is well stocked, it was easy check in/out, and the hosts were very friendly and responsive. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful Home, Excellent Views, Wonderful Vacation!

What an incredible home! From the minute you walk through the door you are greeted with an amazing view of Grandfather Mountain through a large picture window. The stacked stone fireplace is beautiful and the leather couches and chairs provided the perfect place to gather as a family. The open concept allowed us to cook meals, eat, and enjoy conversations with one another. Everything was so nicely decorated. We enjoyed all the amenities. The location was great and communication was excellent. We enjoyed our time here so much! I highly recommend this home!

Heat wave in the mountians

Happy to have been in the mointians for the heatwave! Enjoyed the house and the.amenities very much. May want to check the atic for squirrels there were some strange noises coming from up there. It also maybe time for some new blinds. Neither of these things caused us any worry, but definitely made us chuckle. Would stay here again.

Cozy stay but cleanliness could improve

The house is a great size for a large amount of people and overall was comfortable. We appreciated the setup and how close it was to sugar mountain but upon arrival we noticed that it wasn’t cleaned very well. The kitchen cabinets had hair and dust caked on them especially the one by the stove. The showers were a bit dirty and had hair left in them. The master bedding wasn’t clean and had spots on the pillow cases. The hot tub smelled awful. Cleanliness is very important to us. If it hadn’t been for all that then the place would’ve been a perfect 5!

The house was just what we needed for our family vacation. The Pros: Clean. Beautiful views out the large picture windows. Plenty beds and living space for our family of 7. Billiard and ping pong tables to keep kids busy. Hot tub, deck fire pit, and fireplace to keep everyone warm. Decent kitchen with plenty of dishes, pots, and pans (only basics we couldn’t find were potholders and a cheese grater). More generous with basic supplies than some other houses we have stayed in.Cons: Missing some practical storage (no where to hang clothes in the upstairs master or basement bedrooms, no pantry and limited space for groceries in the kitchen)Winter warning: the last road to the house is a private gravel road, supposed to be maintained by the homeowners along the road- which means the town will not plow, salt, or maintain it, and the rental agreement states that the company that rents it out is only responsible for your driveway (which is flat and little more than a car-length so not a problem). The slopes and ditches in the road are enough to make it impassable when it gets iced up, so your only recourse is to wait for a sunny, warm enough day to melt the ice through the tree cover.
