Very happy. Good location, plenty of room, very clean, plenty of parking.Couple notes:There was only 1 dishwashing pod so we couldnt do all the dishes (we cooked a few times and had to handwash them)Almost ran out of toilet paper on the top floor and couldnt find any extra (there may have been some on the bottom floor, I didnt think to check there)Could not get the master bedroom fireplace to turn on, I dont know if we were doing something wrong. Downstairs fireplace worked.Had some issues with the hot tub - the headrests were all broken off, the jets didnt work and the water didnt seem to be cycling (nothing was coming out of the waterfall and it would start getting cold after you open the lid - we found a nob that looked like it had been broken off and reatached it, and then the water started flowing from the waterfall and it warmed baxk up but never exactly got "hot". We were also using it at night and it was extremely cold so maybe thay was why.)The shower water never got hot enough for my preference either, but it was nice that we didnt run out of warm water with multiple people all trying to shower.Layout is a little odd - all the rooms have doors connecting them but we just locked them and it was fine. Also be aware that the kitchen is on the 2nd floor. We didnt mind (and had fun using the dumbwaiter!) But if someone in your group has monility issues it could be a problem.These were just minor issues, we were very happy and would love to stay again

Beautiful home, nestled amongst the trees with daily visits from deer. Perfect for our group in town for a family wedding. Comfortable, well equipped, easy check- in. Quiet, yet very conveniently located, with all this beautiful area has to offer. Would highly recommend, particularly for larger groups!

Great location close to Boone, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Elk River Falls, etc. Easy to get in and out of, plenty of parking, and would even accommodate an RV. Plenty of room to spread out inside along with a great outdoor area with super nice hot tub. Any issues are promptly addressed by the owners. Highly recommend this property for family and friends!

Highly recommend!!

I gave five stars in my reviews for every position except one. The kitchen in this rental is on the second floor. I could not see that at all in the description of the home. Had any of our elderly ladies gone with us they would not have been able to have got up to the kitchen. Other than that, this home was fantastic. The views from the kitchen were beautiful too with it being on the second floor. We had 13 ladies on this visit, and we all had plenty of space to visit together or have alone time if we felt like it. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we had no problem with any of our meals that we were preparing. We had a slight problem with the water which was immediately taking care of. I had absolutely no complaints about this place and look forward to another visit in the future. The owners were very helpful in our preparation to come. Offering multiple suggestions for sleeping conditions. The rental was very accessible to shopping and easy to find.

More than we were expecting

This property really had it all, we brought in some things we thought we might have needed for our stay and boy, we were wrong. The place is fully equiped, with even more than we actually needed. The rooms were clean and every space was great for our year end family gathering; the views were amazing and overall we're already planning on coming back. Would highly recommend this property for large groups.

Great mountain stay

We had a team of men that served with a local ministry doing hurricane relief and use this VRBO For our sleeping accommodations. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked for our team. A few very minor things to be expected with such a large property but we were all grateful for such large accomodations. We enjoyed grilling and the fire pit at the end of the evenings. Thank you!

Great house!

Our stay was planned for 3 weeks after Helene, so things were up in the air for a short time. Stephen was great, however, and he reached out with information on the condition of the house, roads, etc. We didn't want to travel if it would be more of a burden on the community, but we also wanted to help in any way we could - even if it just meant supporting the local businesses. This house is wonderful, especially for an all-adult crew. We each had our own bedrooms with big beds that were extremely comfortable. The dumb waiter came in handy when we wanted to roast hot dogs in the outdoor fireplace - we were able to send all of the food down to the eating nook on the lower level. We would definitely stay here again.
