Very clean, user friendly home in a great location

We had such a fun time in the High County. The BLC helped facilitate the experience. Besides being perfectly located in the middle of the action the house had all the amenities to make my young family feel comfortable.

Great summer get away!

This location is ideal for exploring the NC Mountains. The neighborhood has lots of things to do which is great. I was hoping things would be a bit more secluded, but I knew it was in a neighborhood with a pool and rec center which was important to the teens I was traveling with. Chuck was great to work with and was very responsive to any questions that I had during our stay.

just what we were expecting and more convenient to facilities and main road than expected.

Nice place though showing it's age. Everything was provided and things were in good working order. Would stay there again - in fact had looked to see if we could rent for month of july/2022 - unfortunately it shows as not available

Back again in the Blue mountains!

We come back to the BLC (and TLC) every year in the late spring to visit with the family. It's just a great time to go before the hustle and bustle of the summer season and the weather is that perfect combination of cool at night and nice during the day. The owners listen to suggestions and keep updating the house accordingly to make it an easy stay for my family. We can't wait to come back next year!

Wonderful place to stay.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was perfect for my 4 year old grandsons. They had something to do all the time. They loved the beach at the lake. We were there on the 4th of July and saw probably the best fireworks show ever. Adults and kids all had a great time. There is definitely something for everyone. The house was clean and there was plenty of space with an updated kitchen. Lots of great memories were made on this vacation.

Annual Mountains Trip

The home was, as Goldilocks would say, just the right size. The bed I slept in was very comfortable as well as the atmosphere. We felt secure in our surroundings and walked over to the recreation area and viewed the Lake and walked the trails there. We were very pleased and we give this a 5 star due to the affordable price and area it was in. Not Secluded, but not busy! Just the way I like it! Thanks Chuck for a great home away from home!

wonderful!

The cabin is great and in a great location for availing the activities at the recreation center. All the porches were great Everything we needed was supplied. The only slight issue is that the single beds upstairs are not real comfortable but overall would highly recommend this chalet. Linville Land Harbor is lovely and the whole surrounding area is breathtaking. Pat and Jim Johnson

Our only suggestion is better mattress upstairs, clean downstairs bathroom vent, and repair towel bar upstairs. Regardless, this was a great rental!

Unforgetable!

This property is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The property was just as described, and the photos do the property justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Chalet. The location was perfect for our plans, very close to Grandfather Mountain, the Lin Cove Viaduct, the Linville Falls and other scenic spots along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The fall foliage throughout the area was absolutely breathtaking! We were thrilled with the location and the facilities within the chalet. Thank you for opening your home, we really enjoyed our stay. We would certainly recommend this property.

Perfect space for our family!

Even though the property is older, we were quite pleased with how comfortable, cozy, and perfect the space was for our family’s long weekend exploring the mountains and skiing. Our host was very considerate in shoveling the drive way before our arrival as they had received a lot of snow about a week before. Whether going for dinner, to Sugar or Beech Mountain to ski, sightseeing at Grandfather Mtn, or racing downhill on the new Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster…. our family had a great time! We felt the chalet was centrally located and convenient.

So much fun!

The cabin was cute and in a great location; a cashier drive to everything. Chuck was very nice! The neighborhood was beautiful and well maintained. The other homes were a little too close for our comfort and there was no yard for the kids or dog to play in. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and decorated nicely. It was clean but there was a lot of stains on the carpet. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

A Fall Getaway Well Worth It Before the Holidays Come

The Birch Lane site was exactly what we were looking for with a family of four. Land Harbor was decorated for Fall; my children enjoyed looking for the decorated pumpkins in the neighborhood. We stayed a week and had a great mix of family time, good food in the area, and sightseeing. Our young children loved Grandfather Mountain and becoming Junior Park Rangers. We also explored the Linville Caverns, local cheese shop, and went mining for gems. My husband fished two days at the Land Harbor lake and I worked out at the local YMCA. It was a great getaway from our typical, hectic pace this time of year and the rental site had everything we needed: lots of kitchen supplies, games, and Wi-Fi.
