Beautiful place, very comfortable and quiet. Just loved it. We discovered a spot below the townhouse where there used to be a girls camp, it was so nice down there next to a creek. From our deck we could hear the water flowing to the creek and saw a sweet family of deer each morning and evening.

It was cozy & welcoming. You can tell its been loved for many years. The setting and layout are perfect for privacy.
One suggestion is that owners should freshen it up either with some new furnishings and/or a deep cleaning. All in all we enjoyed very much.

Spacious, comfy and awesome location!
I went to school in Boone and have gone back for many years as our daughter just graduated, and I was shocked when we drove up to this community because I never knew it existed. It's an incredible location just outside of Boone where you get away from the hustle and bustle and just take in the peaceful mountain setting. Then it's a quick ride to Blowing Rock and Banner Elk to enjoy everything the area had to offer.
We spent a snowy weekend here and the house was really cozy. We had plenty of room to spread out, but we spent a lot of quality time in front of the fireplace or around the table for meals. Two of the bedrooms are massive, and then there's a big loft space you can't really make out in the pictures. The house had everything we needed and even lots of kitchen stuff like spices and what not from previous stays. My only complaint is that the house had a bit of dust and cobwebs, there were old dishes left in the dishwasher and it seems like the vacuum may not work well as their were balls of stuff around. It was not a deal breaker and we'd stay here again but also not what you expect when spending that kind of money.
The surroundings were really nice with a stream that you can hear running just off the porch. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee watching several deer cross through one morning. I look forward to visiting again in the summer when the rhododendron are blooming and more of the community is open.

Lawsuit waiting to happen due to hazardous condition
I will start by stating this cabin is unsafe . Initially check in process did not define in any emails we were one of two units nor specify which one, other than name which cannot be read in the dark. Immediately entering the cabin we were surprised at amount of personal belongings there were. There is no room in living area for renters things because of all the clutter. I decided to cook for family and friends that night. I opened the dishwasher only to find dirty dishes, pots, pans, mugs and silverware. This was evident due to actual food left on the dishes. So I reran the washer only to find nothing was any cleaner. I had to wash other strangers dishes and food off what we were going to use. Given there is a little virus called Covid, this is unacceptable and put us all at risk. Next I opened kitchen drawers, oven mittens had actual egg on them. Coffee mugs in cabinets had actual dried coffee on them. Needless to say we didn’t feel comfortable in the kitchen anymore. I chose the upstairs bedroom. Basically I slept on a piece of wood with a sheet on it. Never encountered anything like that before. The next day the carbon monoxide detector starts chirping. We are not sure if it was detecting carbon monoxide or needs battery. No batteries were around but while I was searching I find a CO detector unplugged sitting on a living room table. Not sure if they understand that will work better plugged in. So now I’m worried my family and I will slowly die in our sleep due to fumes so we try opening some doors to vent the place. When I sat down for dinner ( and let me preface this by saying I am a petite thin female), my chair falls apart. Pieces are put back for show but the chair is not working and they clearly are aware of this hazard. My friend took the master bedroom. When she tried turning lamp on and off, paint would disintegrate and fall to the floor. Again this is a hazard for our puppies and potentially a toddler who would eat it on the ground. On the last day I was the only one to shower and after using the shower for 5 minutes the water turned frigidly cold. I was forced to rinse with ice water and dry with towel that was basically like a piece of cardboard. We packed up our trash and tried to put in receptacles as asked but guess what?? There were no receptacles! When I spoke with neighbor she said nobody has receptacles and the trash has to be driven to an area. She also said no maid cleaned our unit that day. Take off Vrbo , hazardous

The property was nice and suited our needs. It was insanely hard to find at night; needs more specific directions. Also could not find the dumpster. House notes says “down by the inn.” Needs to be more specific!

Fun in the snow
We brought our kids up for a snowy weekend. The beds were all comfy, and the place was clean.
We loved the wooded park area behind the house.
We would have liked to have had the warning about the steep road and driveway being dangerous in the snow before making our reservation (it wasn’t stated in the description or reviews). But we understand that is normal for the area.

Went to school at ASU in the nineties and always loved this side of town. Secluded, private and very cozy. We were lucky to have 7 inches of snow to make our stay a little more of a wonderland.

Overall, “good” rental property
The home itself was very comfortable with all of the necessary amenities. Great location and easily accessible between Blowing Rock and Boone. The description and disclosures were misleading. This is not a single family home but instread is a duplex. The home sleeps 8 but only has parking for one vehicle. We were told to park across the street approx 1/3-1/2 mile away and carpool back to the property. They only provided 3 hand towels, 6 bath towels and 6 bath cloths for 6 people staying 5 nights. The kitchen provided plenty of dishes and cooking utensils but only 1 dish cloth and 1 drying towel. We were told to use the washer as needed.
We enjoyed our stay but feel minor improvements and/or disclosures could improve the guest experience

Lovely place just outside of Boone. All furnishings were cozy and everything one would want to have available was stocked as far as kitchen etc. Beds were super comfortable and living area was warm and friendly. Good value for the money especially considering what local hotels charge.

It was lovely and we enjoyed the Home.
I only wish there had been easier areas to walk the dogs comfortably instead of so much uphill.
