Perfect for our graduation weekend

We loved this house! Very nice touches throughout and awesome that it was decorated for Christmas! Only two things that would possibly improve it is more seating on the main level and if the hot tub was working. That aside this house is awesome and we’d stay there again for sure!

From the owner: "I am so sorry to hear that you were unable to enjoy the brand new hot tub during your stay. The hot tub is brand new and was working fine. I wish you had called me for assistance. The amenities listed on the Evolve were not up-to-date, and I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. We hope to have you back!"

Fantastic property

Beautiful chalet with all the amenities! Plenty of extras as well such as coffee, cozy blankets, shampoo and body wash. It's a great place to have your coffee on the deck surrounded by beautiful mountains. The kitchen is on the second floor so anyone planning to stay should be able to climb stairs. I would definitely recommend this property.

We had a great trip/stay at this mountain cabin! It was maybe 15min from the “town” (and tweetsie Railroad) which was perfect for us! The home was very beautiful. It is 3 stories and not necessarily handicap friendly but we managed! We were never able to figure out the main living room TV, but that’s okay, we spent most of our “family time” in the “basement”/ground level. The outside trash cans were pretty small, idk if they would have worked if more than just an extended weekend but again, they managed for our trip. The stove was gas, and the water got hot quick lol there was a working hot tub and parking was good for 3 (everyone had room to turn around). Overall, it was a great trip/place to stay while we celebrated our TWOddler.

Just Okay

We were disappointed to find that the hot tub was broken during our stay (which we didn’t find out about until after the cancellation deadline. I never heard back regarding what could be done to accommodate us cost wise since that was a main reason for renting the house. The house didn’t feel super clean. There is a heavy musty smell upon entering the basement. It didn’t seem as though the deck is ever swept or the rails wiped…there were very aged spider webs (while I realize that is an exterior area, it was clear the webs never get taken care of). The coffee pot still had the previous renters grounds in it. We never used that pot for that reason. There was a broken glass left in the cupboard as well, so it just didn’t feel like the cleaning company is very thorough. Evolve isn’t super swift about responding either. I’d much rather deal directly with a homeowner than a company.
Response from VrboOwner on 9 September 2023
Hi Jill, thanks for taking the time to review your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following: - As mentioned in the listing, the hot tub was out of service. However, we installed a brand-new one in August. We're sorry if this caught you by surprise. - We haven't been made aware of any cleaning issues. However, we'll check with our cleaning crew to ensure the chalet is meticulously cleaned every time. - Being situated in the mountains amidst lush trees, the deck does tend to accumulate leaves, even when swept regularly. We apologize if this affected your experience. - We want to assure you there's no musty smell in the basement. If this was an issue, we would have addressed it immediately. Once again, thank you for sharing your review with us.

Cold with hard beds

During our stay, the outside temps were often in the single digits...unusually cold even for this area. The max setting on the thermostat was 74, which meant the main level was tolerable, the upstairs master was toasty, and the finished basement was almost uninhabitable...too cold to relax or sleep comfortably. The gas log furnace in the basement den has no chimney or exhaust pipe to evacuate the buildup of fumes and CO2 that occurs once you turn it on. It is certainly not anything one should leave on all night as a heat source. If one reads the welcome/instructions letter from the owners, you are cautioned to "crack a window", which obviously defeats the purpose and allows cold air to enter the space. The bedding was so firm and hard (with the exception of 1 bed on the main floor bedroom) it was difficult to sleep comfortably in the master suite king upstairs. Memory foam, or whatever the mattress material is, must be an acquired taste - one with which we had no familiarity, and after becoming familiar with it, no desire to ever sleep on it again.The gas cooktop had to be lit with a lighter (provided) as the electric/spark igniters aren't working.Great location and potential. The bottle of "two buck Chuck" wine was surprisingly decent.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 February 2024
Hi Joe, we value providing an excellent experience for our guests, and we would like to share some insights from the homeowner: -Firstly, it's important to note that we cannot control the external temperature, and there is no maximum setting on the thermostat to regulate it. -Regarding the gas kitchen burners, they are in proper working order. However, it's possible that some guests may not be familiar with operating a gas stove. -While we take guest feedback seriously, we have never received complaints about mattresses in the past, so it's challenging for us to address this particular issue. -The bottom level features an unvented gas-freestanding fireplace with clear usage instructions, emphasizing the need to keep a window cracked open for ventilation. Although it's compliant with code, operates on gas, and requires minimal oxygen, it's crucial to maintain airflow by keeping a window open at all times .It's conceivable that the guest may not have fully understood or adhered to this instruction. -Moreover, we wish to emphasize that the freestanding gas fireplace efficiently heats the entire first floor. In fact, it produces significant warmth, often necessitating adjustments to its settings, despite the need to keep a window cracked open. -As part of our hospitality, we always leave a bottle of wine for our guests to enjoy during their stay. -In summary, while we strive to provide the best possible experience for all our guests, it's important to acknowledge that individual preferences and experiences may vary. We appreciate your understanding. Our commitment to providing the best possible experience for all our guests is evident in the satisfaction of numerous others who have stayed with us.

Beautiful Home

Beautiful, clean home with great decorations for Christmas! This home is not high in the mountains….but it still has pretty views! Everything was clean and a welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch! The only downside was the size of the living area/dining area. Most of the space is for sleeping spaces but not a lot of “hang out” space for a house that sleeps so many guests! In warmer weather there is ample deck space to extend the living area. We had three teens with our family of five and it would’ve been great to have more space to be together…the living room seats three (loveseat plus an oversized chair). But for a smaller party it would be perfect! It’s a beautiful, well maintained home.

Nice cabin but would probably stay somewhere else next time

The cabin was adorable but there were a few issues. Nothing major though. The hot tub wasn’t working, which we knew, but we came back one night and there were maintenance people working on it, to our surprise at night. It would have been nice to be informed there would be someone there working other than pulling up at night to random strangers at the cabin. Also, there were things pictured, like a big table for games in the family room that wasn’t there. You can also see a lot of neighbors that the pictures clearly left off. Although the cabin was clean, there were things that could’ve been cleaner like cobwebs and dust on the light fixtures and things like that. I own a cleaning business so I notice weird stuff though. My towels had holes in them and my daughter had stains. It might just be time to buy new towels. We enjoyed staying in Boone though and had a great time!!

Beautiful mountain home!

We traveled up with another family with small children to visit Tweetsie. We were a quick drive from downtown Boone and Blowing Rock. The house is very easily accessible and an easy drive from town. Although we ate out for all meals, it was nice to see a stocked kitchen if we were interested in cooking. The owners also left a handwritten note and a bottle of wine that the moms were thankful for once the babies were asleep! This house as also very child friendly. It was easy to close off doors/areas to keep small children contained. The layout allowed each family to have their own living areas and bathrooms without being on top of one another. We loved the views of the mountain while also not being a long way from stores/restaurants. Beautiful home and we hope to return and stay again next year for our annual Tweetsie visit.

Quiet cabin in the woods.

We had a wonderful time at this home. The set up worked well for our family. Three couples and each had their own bathroom. The kitchen was tight but we managed to cook our dinners there and had fun doing it. We brought our own knives and baking sheets, which were needed. The grill is small but fit the bill for us. There are plenty of pots and pans, two toasters and a Keurig coffee pot but not a drip pot. The non-functioning hot tub and dryer were disappointing. The location was great and we had a great time hiking, tubing and visiting a winery.

Just right

I stayed here while attending a virtual conference. It was quiet, just the right size, clean and well-equipped. The internet was adequate for my zoom calls and I had no connectivity problems. The location was great as well - just a few minutes from Boone and only a 20-30 minute drive to Banner Elk/Linville/Blowing Rock, made everything accessible. And relaxing in the hot tub at night was a perfect end to the day. It did take quite a while for the hot tub to get up to temperature, but if you plan ahead it was well worth it.

Fabulous Family Trip

The cabin was wonderful! It perfectly accommodated the 8 of us. I love that all the bedrooms were on different floors providing privacy. It had everything you would want to include, Hot Tub, fire pit, and a fireplace. Our Property manager was extremely responsive to any questions we had. The other positive thing was it was only 10 minutes from Appalachian College, but he could hear a rooster crowing every morning

Beautiful Mountain Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! Everything was very clean and comfortable! We enjoyed the hot tub and took advantage of the board games located downstairs. The only complaint we had was the shower heads. The water that came out was only a mist which made washing and rinsing a head full of hair very difficult. Other than that, we will definitely stay again!
