Chestnut Lodge - 3 miles from Parkway, great view, Hot Tub, Jacuzzi Tub!

The rental didn’t have any water I had to find the shut off valves and turn the breaker on for us to have water, the master bathroom shower did not have enough water pressure to take a shower had to take a shower it the other bathroom the light over the shower didn’t work in the spare upstairs bedroom, the jacuzzi tub was dirty the hot tub water was green and did not smell pleasant also had a “slime line” this weekend was to be a special proposal weekend that was not so pleasant the blinds in the master bed room was broken just all around not a good experience

Chestnut Lodge is a tired, worn-out furniture and accessories, poorly appointed house. This has been previously referenced on prior VRBO reviews. TVs are dated, substandard and small. Rugs are torn, layout of 1985 living room furniture is odd & uncomfortable. Our primary disappointment was that the power did not work in our master bedroom on our Thursday check in. We called Blue Ridge Rentals Thursday, & Friday - 2 different handymen could not fix, & Blue Ridge Rentals never could / never would send a credentialed electrician. They never gave a good straightforward solution. Three ceiling fans were broken, and coffee maker didn't work either. Great view off back porch, and of course nearby Boone, Blowing Rock, Grand Father Mountain were great! They offered us a ~20% refund (2 weeks later, not received yet), which tells me that Blue Ridge maybe surrendered their commission, but actual owners kept their 80% rental income. Shame on owners & property manager for keeping this below par home in the rental portfolio marketing it as a high-end resort rental to future guests when it is in such bad shape!

We were very disappointed with the dilapidated state of this cabin. Old furniture ,broken railings, inadequate heating system (downstairs never got above 50 degf), Worn out appliances, extremely slow Internet connection, dirty rutted pothole ridden road leading into the cabin, and a host of additional issues made this stay very disappointing and certainly not worth the money spent renting this cabin. Blue Ridge properties attempted to remedy the situation by providing a small refund but only a small percentage when it should have been at least half of the fees. This property is awful and I would advise you avoid it at all costs.

Perfect house for a family. Each room has its own bathroom and the ping pong table was a huge hit! Hot tub key was a little tricky to find (it’s hanging on a stick by the back door)

Beautiful lodge with beautiful views. Great property for groups as the house was spacious, the living area had plenty of sitting room for everyone to be together but there was also plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The hot tub was nice, clean and ready to go when we arrived. The beds were nice and comfortable. The downside to our stay there were multiple spiders in the downstairs bedroom/bathroom area. It was also quite a bit cooler in the lower level. It would have also been nice if the driveway to the garage would have been cleaned off some as it was very slick being covered in leaves and wet from the rain.

Very happy with this place, it had everything we needed. One conllain I have was the downstairs shower and the grill but those minor.

The cabin was clean and very pretty. The stairs on the side from the balcony was taped off and a sign saying do nothing use making it a little difficult to gain easy access to the grill from that balcony. Not a huge problem but was surprise that it had not been fixed , the outside lights on the back balcony did not not work and the ice maker was frozen and we had to thaw it out in order to use it. No of these issues really made our stay bad and did not make this cabin undesirable. Thank You

This was our first time staying here. The place was very clean, no bugs, the views were fantastic, and layout, great. Biggest negative, a few of the dresser drawers and hallway drawer easily fall out when you open them. Thank you for a wonderful visit!!

We had a wonderful time and loved the peaceful location and great view with trees all around. A perfect weekend getaway. Can’t wait to go back again!
