Wonderful retro feel, we are all over 60 y/o so felt right at home ! We went to Railexplorers and enjoyed taking a ride on the rails then eating at Saints Ave. Café. Boone is a nice, clean town with beautiful architecture throughout. Would definitely come back again.

The house is located in a quiet residential area, close to shopping and restaurants. We found the house to be small, but clean and cozy, decorated in a fun retro theme. We didn't utilize the kitchen for cooking, but we appreciated the well-stocked coffee bar and the basket of snacks (which we gobbled up); along with a sweet note from the hosts. It looked like they had quite a few convenient kids items like a crib, stroller, high chair, but we didn't utilze these. The back outdoor space is small but a nice place to relax and enjoy the sun. Beds were comfy, fluffy pillows - I loved that they provided great quality sound machines in both bedrooms. I highly recommend this place for couples and families. We will definitely come back!

The property was very clean with lovely decor. Host was very responsive when I was unable to get back into the property after leaving for a concert in Des Moines and I was given a code that worked in a very short amount of time. Host was thoughtful leaving snacks for guests and coffee. It made for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. A small thing was the internet was a little unstable but nothing that couldn’t be worked around. I definitely recommend staying here.

I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was one of the best hosts that I have ever encountered. The house was exactly as pictured. It was VERY clean throughout. What amazed me was the level of thought and detail put into the experience. Everything was clearly communicated. There were supplies for the dog, supplies for families, supplies for kids. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils. I could go on and on. I would highly recommend this host and this property to anyone.
