We came to visit our daughter at App State, it was an easy drive to the college and also an easy drive to attractions. The cabin was cozy, felt like home, and had a beautiful view.
Great place to gather as a family. Loved the fire place. Dog friendly. Management company quickly addressed any bumps in the road we encountered during our visit.
Our family made a trip up to Blowing Rock this fall, and this house was great! We enjoyed the hot tub and gas fireplace, and the location was very convenient to Blowing Rock and Boone!
We discovered a gem renting this cabin! The views are gorgeous, location convenient to both Bliwing Rock and Boone and it has everything you need! The cabin is very clean, spacious and so comfortable. We felt so relaxed and loved the new hottub! We will be back!
Fabulous way to celebrate our 50th anniversary👍🏻❤️
The property was above & beyond …house was exceptionally clean, well furnished, and easy to access….great location….very close to Blowing Rock and 5 miles from Boone….we enjoyed hearing the train whistle from Tweetsie….didn’t want to come home….100% will return for another stay!!
Highly recommend this beautiful and well-maintained property that is convenient to both Blowing Rock and Boone. We had three generations (including a toddler) and our dog, and everyone had a fantastic time. The covered porches were a great place to enjoy more outdoor time during afternoon showers, and the large fenced-in backyard was great for both our kiddo and our dog. We also really appreciated the clear and helpful communication from the property management team. We had a wonderful experience all around and love to come back someday.
When my husband and I picked this property we were impressed with the pictures, but knew to temper our expectations from other rentals we'd had. Completely unnecessary with this home! The house was beautiful and much larger than expected. The views were amazing. The extra amenities like the hot tub and firepit were perfect for summer nights.
