    What a vacation!! This home is beautiful with everything you could possibly need! We had a group of 11 with ages ranging 69-3 years old. It was the perfect set up for all of us. The owner of the home called me before our stay to welcome us and asked if I had any questions. Communication was amazing and very appreciated. We can’t wait to stay again.

    The house was a blast for our 2 families and the kids. The kids had a so much fun in the glow room and the playroom/bunk room. They were always happy to return to the house and sad when we left. The house was clean, tidy and an excellent choice. I highly recommend it.

    This place had so much to offer. We stayed here for the bed count, just a stopover but I will be coming back with my family to stay for the week. My kids will love this place and all it has to offer.

    AMAZING Home! We had a lovely stay while visiting the area. The location is great, central to everything - grandfather mountain, sugar and beech mountains, banner elk and Boone. The neighborhood is cute and has a lot of nice trails/ hikes around. The house is better than what you see in the listing - loaded with amenities and has lovely views. Zen room and the game room was the biggest hit for us. The communication was smooth and we look forward to coming back.
