This house was perfect for a long weekend. It is 40 minutes from most other towns, but that was perfect for us to take a day trip to Boone, or have dinner in Blowing Rock. The sunset is magnificent from this property. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning.

Thank you! We were so glad to have you here at Hold your Horses, and we look forward to having you in the future!
Our group of four came in for MerleFest and found this property to be the perfect place to recharge each night and morning. The stunning views and well-equipped home made it one of the best rentals we've ever experienced. While there’s a brief moment of hesitation with the narrow road and driveway, the wide, sweeping views and beautifully appointed home quickly dissolve any concerns. We absolutely loved this place! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hold Your Horses to anyone looking for a peaceful and unforgettable getaway.

Breathtaking is the best way to describe this property !
From the entrance into the Leatherwood Resort, Check In, Grounds, All Paved Roads, to our beautiful cabin ( Hold your Horses ) was outstanding !!! We did not leave the resort the entire weekend. It was so relaxing sitting on the deck looking at the 180 degree breathtaking views. The restaurant and live music was great as well ! Spectacular place that we will be sure to return to.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Hold your Horses, and we look forward to having you again. We do apologize about the hot tub, sorry about that.
Our stay at Hold Your Horses was amazing. The view can't be beat. We watched the sunset in the hot tub and the sunrise on some of the most comfortable rocking chairs. Property was exactly as described. Hot tub worked, wi-fi was great, satellite tv for football, kitchen cooked up some great meals and they even had plenty of firewood available. Abby answered several questions I had very quickly. We can't to go back.

We found this property by accident and we are so lucky we did. The views were amazing, the house was perfect, and the hot tub was great! The house was stocked extremely well with utensils and things we needed for an 8 day trip. I am telling literally anyone who will listen about this place and that they need to go stay! Bringing my family back for sure.

Absolutely outstanding views!Super clean & very well maintained home.The only thing disappointing for us was that the hot tub is not fully functional and definitely in need of being replaced. (I would also say that the fireplace screen should be replaced as soon as possible as well as it is flimsy and likely unsafe)

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Hold your Horses, and we look forward to having you again. Thank you for letting us know, and I have passed on your review to the property manager.
Incredible vistas, hidden location, absolute solitude, inside the house is a Western Art Museum, everything was incredible. The drive to the house is interesting the first time, limited GPS, and a narrow but short drive off the main road. In top of all North Carolina. Bring your own food as you will not want to leave the house! Nor is there any real need. Horses nearby, saw turkeys, deer, rabbits, etc. And a Cardinal that pecks on his reflection in the downstairs window at 0615. Wonderful wake up call! Abbie the host was superb. Ladies at Leatherwood checkin and office all very helpful also. Restaurant in summer only on weekends. We loved the week and the view from hot tub amazing.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us here at Hold your Horses, and we look forward to having you again. Getting to see are the nearby wildlife is a real treat.
This property was as follows:
- VERY clean (and I'm picky)
-AMAZING VIEWS - pictures do not do it justice
- Private and quiet
- management company was informative and responsive
Few notes:
- the hot tub in a previous review was out of commission and unfortunately, it also was not working during our stay. The managment company had informed us in advance that it might not be fixed. A repair person did come to work on it but unfortunately, it gave up the ghost. We did receive a small refund for the inconvience.
- The house is 1.5 miles basically straight up a mountain, so be ready. The driveway into the actual house is about 1/4 mile of narrow pavement with a ravine on one side. It's safe to drive but just be careful.
- this area is remote- a lovely setting but it's 1/2 hr to Wilkesboro and 45 minutes to Blowing Rock or Boone, so you can't run out and get pizza. Bring what you need for the most part. The country roads are twisty so be careful.
Overall, if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful home with a wonderful view, this is just the ticket.

Cabin had a wonderful view. Chairs were very comfortable. The kitchen had absolutely everything one might need. For fun I counted and estimated the time it would take to use all the coffee filters = 6 1/2 years. I left my 10 month contribution unopened as many had before me. Staff were wonderful and friendly.
