Blue Ridge Mountain Escape Near Skiing

I had issues with the heat on the last full day of my stay. I couldn’t get the house past 59 degrees Fahrenheit and it was very cold outside. Thank God there was a fireplace.

Area and views were beautiful, the place was cozy and rustic, running water could be heard the entire time with several beautiful creeks nearby. Bed comfy, heat worked good, and a great place to relax. Kitchen could use some love and utensils to cook with, but overall very satisfying stay. Hot tub was superb!

The property was clean, comfortable, and well maintained.

House is beautiful. Nicely tucked between Boone and Blowing Rock. Has fun bunk room for the kids, a garage and nice fire pit area. I highly recommend staying here.

We walked into the home and it was super clean and very well kept. Stocked with everything we needed. Hot tub was warm and ready for use. Our family highly recommends staying here.

The cabin itself was beautiful and spacious. It perfectly accommodated 7 people during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the cabin itself was clean. The ice maker in kitchen did not work they did however, provide ice trays. The door on the first floor (where the pull-out couches are) did not lock. The jacuzzi did function properly during our stay, and it was not able to heat up. The power on the first floor continuously went off. For those traveling in the winter, the cabin is located up on a road Carolina Cabin Rentals does not regularly pave. We had a total of two cars both 4WD. The first one that arrived was not able to make it up on the first day and had to call for assistance. When we arrived the A/C appeared to be broken. It did not heat up past 40 degrees. During the time of our stay, the weather was between 20-30 degrees outside, and it was constantly snowing. I will say Tim in Customer Service was extremely helpful and attentive during our stay. He checked in with us several times during the first few days. Mike in maintenance was also extremely attentive and helpful. He ended up placing space heaters in each room and attempted to turn on the fireplace (which was never able to stay on). The A/C problem was never resolved during our stay. Carolina Cabin Rentals only refunded one-night of our stay. When we requested to be relocated to another one of their cabins, they were unable to since everything was booked due to it being a holiday weekend. The rest of our stay was very uncomfortable. The space heaters had us waking up constantly through out the night from how hot it would get. We couldn't turn them off because the A/C stayed stuck around 59 degrees. During the day, when we would call in about the unpaved road covered in snow (on their property) Carolina Cabin Rentals said it was their not responsibility, that we could call in a tow truck to assist us in getting out, which would cost us out of pocket around $75. They said the owner was the one responsible for sending someone to pave the road, and he would get to us at some point during the day, which he never did. My two stars is for the property itself. It was spacious, well-maintained, and had beautiful view. It was centrally located 5 minutes away from downtown Blowing Rock and the Appalachian Ski Resort. It was around 10 minutes from Boone. Management could improve overall professionalism and understanding when issues like these occur during a stay.

The cabin wasn’t so clean, the fridge and the kitchen counter top have some dirty spots, the blinds have dust and we couldn’t use the fire pit wasn’t clean at all, have beers cans around it. Tha master bathroom sinks are not draining the water properly.

Property was amazing

The house was nice but the view was not as good as I was hoping. Hot tub had not been cleaned. There were many leaves and bugs in the water and when we sat in it, the seats were covered with dirt and grit. The fireplace and fire pit were very nice and we really enjoyed the shuffle board table.

Would return if it was available gain!

The house was nice, however when in the master bedroom you can hear all footsteps and talking in the room above. Very loudly. There is no kitchen trash can, just a tiny bathroom one so you have to hang your garbage bags on a door hanger. Not bad, but awkward. Cell phone coverage is only 1 bar unless you are on the front porch in the far corner and get 2. Most calls are dropped due to it. Wouldn't notice it if they had wifi. The entire 2.5 weeks we were there the wifi did not work. During COVID that is unacceptable. You cannot go to the nearby Starbucks to get on your computer, they are only drive thru. You can't have an adult night out and leave the kids because they can't get on their phones and the tvs in their rooms were internet only. The tv downstairs was direct tv, but only with the very minimum of shows. You spent more time selecting to find that channel was unavailable than you could find an actual adult show. Cartoons were it. Our boys were 14, so they weren't as excited with that selection. Overall it did not make an relaxing vacation.
