Lovely Experience

We had 4 families with small children stay in this home for a weekend away. It was the perfect gathering spot with two living rooms- one for kids and one for adults. The amenities made it easy to stay on property and enjoy company for most of the stay, also with easy access to good food and outdoor activities. Would love to see what the home looks like in the winter with snow! This is the perfect home for traveling with children (big and small).

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.
