Nice place, but dirty kitchen

The place was good. Very clean and comfortable. However, basic aminities like salt, sugar, coffee were not available. The dishes, glasses and bowls were dirty. We had to wash everything before using. I may not visit again. There are lot of other options with better service and way cheaper.

Everything you need and close to Boone and Banner Elk

Very clean, kitchen was well stocked with cooking items such as bowls, pots, pans and a coffee maker. Great view off the deck. Quiet location but there are people around so we’ll insulated from any noise. Pool was a short drive. Cozy with the fireplace and easy to keep warm.

Nice spot for summer getaway

The listing info is quite accurate and pictures give a good indication of the property's attributes. Had a 2nd couple as guests for 3 of our 9 days and there was never any sense of overcrowding. Clean and comfortable. The stairs could be problematic for anyone with mobility issues.
