Another great stay here!

We’ve stayed here twice now for back to back weekends and had an excellent experience both times. The house is beautiful and we loved the view, hot tub, game room, and how many it sleeps. The host is super responsive and helpful and check in and check out went very smoothly. If you’re coming in the winter and there’s snow in the forecast, I do recommend having AWD or winter tires for the steep driveway.

Great getaway for our teacher group!

We had a group of 11 elementary teachers take a short trip before the school year starts and what a great house to spend it in! The view is amazing! We spent lots of time on the front porch listening to bag pipes playing in the distance. It was so magical and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again! The location is great too because we were right between Boone and Banner Elk.

This property was amazing with a beautiful view. The house was well-stocked and the yard was perfect for a large group. There is a lot to do and see in the area, but you could even stay put and be entirely entertained! Our favorites were the coffee bar, hot tub, fire pit, and pool table!

Mountain stay with friends

Fantastic spot up in the mountains. Went up to NC for a relaxing golf weekend with the guys and this house absolutely delivered! The house was great, the views were beautiful and there were more amenities than we could use. Equally important was plenty of sleeping space for all 9 of us. Much thanks to Jonathan the owner for a great weekend!

Graduation Weekend

We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend celebrating our daughter’s graduation from App State. We had lots of family from different places join us and the accommodations were just right! Plenty of hang out space inside and outside. The layout of the house was perfect for our elderly parents. The game room was a lot of fun and the outdoor dining area was a great place to spread out for our large family meals. The view was serene and beautiful - a great spot for morning coffee to start the day. The sunset from the same spot was a perfect way to end the day. We will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely Wonderful!!

This home was incredible for our large family! It has an absolutely perfect layout for adults, teens and children; it’s very spacious and allows plenty of room and privacy for all. The game room was a huge hit for our family. The location of the fire pit has a breathtaking view. There is a lot of counter space for cooking!

Great Place for groups/teens

We enjoyed the weekend with our youth group. Great location to explore around Boone, Banner Elk, or right down the road to Mast General in Valle Crucis. The house was just what we needed! Game room, beautiful view, plenty of space to spread out, indoor and outdoor living areas, full coffee bar, and extras most house don’t have, like toilet paper, trash bags, body wash, shampoo, and dish soap, and more! All great touches!! We especially enjoyed the large living room with the gas logs and wonderful view!! Will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful place - Awesome location and view

This place was excellent. The host had everything you can think of, TVs in every room, two living rooms, game room, fire pit with lots of wood available, hot tub outside was heated and ready for us. Enough dishes for our large group. House was safe for young kids, my 15 months old walked all around the house. Older kids enjoyed the abundant collection of board games. The pool table is kind of squeeze in, not enough room to play ur best, but we still enjoyed. There was a grill outside, and outdoor table and chairs to eat outside. The location was good, short drive to many attractions. I can keep talking about all amenities, host thought about everything, there was a first aid kid, we didn’t have to worry about bath tissue, hand soap, dish washer soap, liquid soap, laundry detergent, extra batteries, towels, pillow covers, let’s not forget the espresso and coffee machines, stocked. Many places that we stayed at, we always had to go to the store to get things, here we felt at home. Would love to come back again in the future, and I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. Host was responsive and easy to communicate through VRBO.

Beautiful View with Cozy Spaces

We travel to the mountains every year with my parents and my sister's family and this property has been one of our favorites so far. It was easily accessible and the view is absolutely gorgeous (a large field with cows as well as trees and mountains in the back). The spaces are very comfortable for our group of 10 (like a large dining room and fire pit). It was really nice that it has 2 living rooms, which we were able to use at the same time (kids will stay in one and adults in the other), and a cute, well supplied coffee station with a delicious Nespresso and Kurig machine. The kitchen was well stocked too. All the bedrooms were very comfortable, and the kids enjoyed sharing a room with 2 bunk beds. Bathrooms had all needed supplies and towels. One thing though, the murphy beds are in one of the living rooms, and unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable using this room as a bedroom. The game room was nice, although it needs a little ventilation. They also provided some board games that the kids enjoyed. Overall the spaces were tastefully decorated, with nice details all over (including a fresh cut flower when we arrived). We fell in love with the reclaimed wood wall as well as the beautiful olive trees. We encountered a few issues that we immediately communicated with the host, Jonathan. He was quick to reply and find solutions. He was very helpful. Overall, we would recommend this property and will certainly stay here again.
