Perfect for a little boy who likes to play games

The house is huge and makes you feel nestled in a lush forest. My 4 year old son didn’t want to leave the game room’s air hockey table. The hot tub and porch were mom and dads medicine.

Uncle John’s mountain cabin .

Uncle John’s mountain cabin was a pleasure to stay at. We have been staying at cabins in the Boone area for over 30 years And we have certain criteria when we’re looking for a cabin. We like to cook in for breakfast and dinner the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals.The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. Everything was clean which was greatly appreciate it. The gas fireplace it was so easy to just turn the switch And have a fire. Checking in and access to the cabin entrance was great. The game room was an added bonus and we used it every evening and then after some friendly competition we would hit the Jacuzzi we also appreciated The privacy the cabin provided another thing that is tops on our list. Thank you for letting us enjoy you’re beautiful cabin it was everything you said it would be an more.

Perfect September get away

We headed from the coast for hurricane Dorian and had a beautiful stay in Boone. We rode horseback, hiked, went to Doc's Gem Mine, and had a wonderful day at Grandfather Mountain. Didn't make it to Rock Dimensions but they are some of the nicest people you will find. Definitely will start there next visit! House was perfect for the kids and dogs. Thank you so much!

Wonderful retreat in a fabulous location.

Terrific spot for a family vacay, with big bedrooms, a lovely wrap around porch, and a well appointed kitchen. The game room is a blast. Easy drive to Boone, Grandfather Mountain and around.

2/10 Terrible

Incredibly disappointing

My family and I rented this cabin based on the photos the rental agent and owner provided. Unfortunately, they were a total misrepresentation of the view from the deck. The cabin was secluded in the woods and the beautiful mountain views depicted where nowhere to be found. In addition, the only way to enter the cabin was through the basement or outside deck steps. The 16 step climb to enter or exit the cabin was extremely difficult for several members of our family. This should have been mentioned in the description. These two factors turned what was a greatly anticipated vacation into a very disappointing week.
