Great Location, Lovely House
We had a great weekend trip using this house as our home base. Great location to Boone and Blowing Rock, easy to access/find with all of the essentials included. The house has definitely been renovated and updated and it looks great!

Weekend Retreat
Overall we had a wonderful stay. Beautiful view, quiet, with comfortable beds! Two items could improve future stays. 1) The property was clean with the exception of: dusty countertop by the microwave, popcorn on the kitchen floor and and tortilla chips crumbs by the bunk beds. 2) We are seniors and we would recommend a bathmat and/or another hand rail in the tub as the tub floor was slightly slippery.

Beautiful, clean, and quiet cabin with gorgeous views and plenty of space. Only downside was the small tv because my boyfriend has one eye but we improvised and used our laptop to watch tv so it worked out. Other than that the stay was amazing and would love to stay there again in the future.

The perfect place for our family!
We spent Easter weekend in Boone and wanted to be close to good hiking and downtown Boone. This house was perfect for our family of 5. It was clean, well-stocked, and the television and WiFi worked great! This will be our go-to stay when we return to Boone.

Mountain trip
The house was very nice and clean, had ample parking, and a little off the beaten path which was nice. Comfortable beds and furniture, and a nice dog next door! A warning of “no cell service” would’ve been nice, as I didn’t remember the door code when I got there and had to drive back into town to get cell service to look on the Vrbo app.

Our Stay
We absolutely loved this property. It is secluded from any hustle and bustle and so well decorated on the inside. It really felt like a home away from home while we were in town visiting family. Responses to questions were quickly answered which we appreciated. Honestly the first place we have ever stayed and said that we would stay there again without a doubt!

January trip
A snowstorm was going on as we arrived and we were able to make it within 800ft of the driveway before our minivan could not make it any further. All wheel drive would have been great to have in this situation. As soon as I let Sharon know about this hiccup she responded promptly and had a plan in place to accommodate our stay. Her next door neighbor was one of the nicest people I have met. He saw we were having trouble and came outside, helped us carry all of our things and assisted with getting our kiddos inside. He even gave me a place to park our van so that it was out of the roadway. After we got settled in his wife made us a loaf of bread and brought us over a dozen eggs. This place was great to stay at and our kids had a great time. We enjoyed having a fire every night and the views at night were incredible. We would love to come back out here.

My family stayed here for 5 nights and it was everything we wanted and more! The house was very clean,well stocked and had amazing views from the front porch! My children loved playing in the snow,petting the neighbors sweet dog and even made a friend next door ! The stars at night were amazing to look at and it was so quiet ! I will definitely be booking here for any future vacations and wish we could've stayed longer.

We stayed for two nights to get away... the house was clean. The driveway was a bit of a challenge but we did fine. The grass needed to be cut, but didn't change our opinion of our stay.

Good Location for college football game
We came to Boone for a college football game App St vs ECU (Go Pirates)!! Lodging in town itself is pretty limited so we chose to stay just outside of town. Only about a 15 minute or less ride to campus and the football stadium. The place served our purpose and needs.
