    Great Birthday get away weekend place! Easy drive into Boone. Weather was wonderful & the covered deck was perfect to watch the sun & clouds and listen to the creek. But having a fenced yard for our furbaby was the topping on the cake! Thanks for sharing your lovely mountain home!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great house! We have stayed at a few different houses in this neighborhood and this one was by far the best. The best part was how comfortable the furnishing were (including the bunk beds). The fenced in yard for our dogs was worth it's weight in gold. We enjoyed the deer we saw in the yard and drinking coffee on the screened in porch. Very relaxing trip and can't wait to go back!

The house provided helpful information for the stay and enjoying the surrounding activities and local events. We could hear the waterfall below the cottage from the screened in porch and it made for a peaceful place to relax after hiking, shopping and other adventures. And with the great support from the property management we never had a worry or an issue.
