A Must-Book Cabin getaway

A perfect cabin. Absolutely perfect. Arriving to the clean beautiful home was incredible. It’s in a small community called Little Bavaria. Every space is designed to be with your group of 10-12. We had 10 plus 1 baby. Insane patio, hot tub, 5 bedrooms + bunk beds, FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN. This was important as each group made a meal, and they were all delicious. Lots of fireplaces, we had 3 toasty fires going almost all the time. It really was such a perfect cabin, I don’t know many other words for it. 15 minutes from downtown Boone. We went on a Saturday during an App State game and it was chaos. So heads up if you run into that. There was only 1 thing the property can look into, I was inundated with paper work and emails upon booking. A little too many documents/emails.

Family Get Away

The cabin was exactly as described. It was spacious & the cleanest cabin we’ve ever rented. It was equipped with everything you might need. The outside porches with comfortable chairs & rockers were perfect to gather to enjoy a cool breeze & coffee. We cooked some delicious meals in the kitchen as well as on the grill. There was plenty of room for dining inside & out. The location was perfect for visiting Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock & Valle Crucis park which was full of wonderful activities. The lake was beautiful and a quick walk across the little road. Fish were caught every time! The area was quiet & secluded & we couldn’t have had a more relaxing family vacation!!

Amazingly Beautiful

A beautiful cabin with a great view. Lakeview is easy to get to, beautiful and very clean. The check in process was easy and communication with the host was as well. Any question I had was addressed quickly and accurately. The interior is a beautiful cabin motif with plenty of room for our family. The outside porches have plenty of seating and the outdoor fire pit is beautiful. The property is well Maintained and we had no issues with the driveway as there was snow on the ground. The cabin is conveniently located near Boone, Banner Elk and the surrounding area. Definitely would book again if we are in The area.

Awesome Cabin

The owners have checked all of the boxes. Great place to stay. Just bring food and you won't need to leave. Great place to go and relax. Saw lots of deer any time during the day. Very private. House has lots of decking, fire pit with speakers so you can bluetooth your phone to what you want to hear. Hot tub was awesome, pool table in the wallk out basement. The 4 bedrooms are nice and spread out so everyone had privacy. House is secluded but off a main road so it has easy access. I would stay there again.

An Amazing Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin definitely exceeded our expectations. The home was clean and beautiful with a laid back cozy feel and enough space for our family of eleven to be comfortable and relaxed. There were plenty of comfortable furniture both inside and outside. It had a very well stocked kitchen that made us feel like if we were home. We rented in the summer and the a/c was perfect to keep us Floridians feeling cool. The staff is outstanding and very attentive to all our needs. We celebrated a family reunion with our adult children and this was an experience with memories we will always treasure.

Excellent cabin!

My family & I really enjoyed our stay at Lakeview! The cabin is beautiful, with lots of space & lots to do! We spent many hours playing games, hanging out at the fire pit or on the porches, & in the hot tub. The beds were comfy with many pillows & blankets available. We enjoyed the neighborhood & took many walks around it. We also loved the speakers on the porches that were blue-tooth enabled. It’s secluded & quiet, but also very close to lots of fun, restaurants, & stores. Our favorite place to visit was Valle Crucia community park! It was wonderful for the kids (and adults!) to play in the creeks, play soccer & basketball, play on the playground equipment & swings, & ride their bikes around the paved trails! It was only a few minutes drive from the cabin. Plus, the very cute Mast General Store was just in front of the park. We also drove past this further up the mountain & stopped at multiple “overlook” areas with spectacular views & picnic spots. We saw so many deer each morning around the lake & close to the cabin! The kitchen was very well-stocked. We enjoy cooking, so we appreciated that so many small appliances & many pots & pans were available. The tv’s were set up with all the streaming apps, making it easy to watch movies together on the comfy couch! Two small things to be aware of are that the master bathroom’s tub is difficult for shorter or older people to step into. It’s very high. And with that being the only bedroom on the main floor, older relatives may have a hard time staying at this cabin. If that’s not a concern for you, though, you’re good to go! Also, the lake was very muddy & smelly during our stay. Not sure if that’s because we were told there’s been a lack of rain in the area (although it rained daily while we were there), or the hot weather, or another problem. We weren’t able to enjoy it much because it was very smelly with many dead fish floating in it each time we’d walk near it. It was not clear & pretty like in the photos. That was the only disappointing part of our stay. We highly recommend Lakeview cabin & plan to stay again in the future!

We enjoyed fishing in the pond and we’re able to catch a variety of fish. The house was very cozy and comfy. Enjoying the hot tub was also wonderful after doing Smores at the fire pit. The weather was fantastic for the Morial day weekend. We hope to book this home at another time.

Great stay - love to go again

We had a great time as a family of 8 with our stay. We had 2 children (both under 4), 2 dogs, and 6 adults. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The only thing we had a small problem with was the flooring on the main floor is very creaky which made it difficult to put little ones to bed. Besides that we couldn’t ask for anything better! Location was great, views were great (even better thanks to snow in mid April!). We’d love to stay again.

A Great Family Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lakeview provided the perfect long weekend escape for our family of 9. So clean and the location was amazing. We loved being able to walk down to the lake and the short trip to Boone for take out food made the getaway even more convenient. The outdoor porch and the fire pit area provided great gathering places. This was the perfect cabin for our family to gather.The only negative - there is not a walk in shower in the main bedroom. So we just had to provide caution with our 81 year old mother. Other than that, the bathroom and kitchen areas were convenient, well stocked, and clean!

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!

We absolutely loved everything about this cabin! A few moments after walking in the door we all decided that this cabin would be our choice for all future long weekend stays. The location is very private and the view of the pond is beautiful. We had a crazy mix of weather, went from a blizzard to spring like weather in a day but we're used to that living in N.C. This cabin was perfect for whatever the weather conditions were. We had plenty of room to enjoy the cabin inside during the snow and the hot tub is the best hot tub we've ever been in! When the sun came out we all walked down to the pond for some fishing, didn't catch anything but it's all about the experience. Such a peaceful location! I spent a few hours just sitting out on the deck watching the wildlife, birds, squirrels, chipmunks and even a mama deer and her baby walking around just a few feet away from the cabin. It was so relaxing and beautiful! If you are considering booking this cabin do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed! I found it to be even better than pictured. We are already looking forward to going back.
