We absolutely loved this cabin! Great amount of space for everyone (we had 3 adults and 5 teenagers). Everyone had their own bed, the kids loved the pool table and we all loved the fireplace and views from every window. There were extra blankets in every room, warm bedding on all the beds (which were very comfortable). The kitchen had everything we needed, both a Keurig and a coffee pot for lots of coffee or single cup use, great selection of pots and pans, plenty of dishes and silverware, there’s even a crock pot in the closet in the bathroom. If you’re planning who to sleep where (during winter months) the upstairs is warmest (heat from the fireplace rises and it’s about 10 degrees warmer upstairs), main level is comfortable and downstairs (the bunk beds by the pool table) was the coldest level (probably 10 degrees cooler than the main level). It was perfect for our teenage boys who loved the colder room and the teenage girls all slept upstairs in the loft where it was warmest. Those who like it cooler when they sleep should be on the main level. It worked out perfectly for everyone in our group! Tip: if you’re planning to ski during the holiday season, get there no later than 8am or you’ll be stuck in lines all day. Don’t even bother trying to tube on Sugar Mountain, we waited hours for tickets and they sold out every session in about 15 minutes. Go online in advance of your trip and reserve tubing tickets at Hawks Nest or Beech Mountain instead.
The overall stay and the house were great! Views were spectacular!! We couldn’t have had a better weekend for seeing the leaves change and fall off the trees!!
This cabin was the perfect place for our family. The cabin had every amenity we needed and everyone in our group ranging in age from 19 to 81 found something to enjoy. We enjoyed the porch views, the hot tub, the pool table, and the quiet evenings. The property manager responded quickly to address one minor problem we encountered after hours. We would love to return again to the Mountain Laurel Lodge in the future.
House was nice and roomy, everything worked and no surprises, Fire pit was great for kids to make smores, would stay again...
Close to tubing, skiing, and alpine coaster. Would definitely stay again
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and decorated so charmingly for Christmas. It was the perfect place for our family to gather together to enjoy a belated holiday together. The cabin hosted all nine adults with plenty of room and activities. I would highly recommend staying here. We had a marvelous time.
This place is not only wonderful for a quick get away with your partner, but also for the kids. Impeccably clean with all the wonderful amenities that you could need. The location is absolutely fantastic. If you’re looking for a place that is close to both then, and blowing rock.
The location is great, near Boone and most attractions. The house is well appointed and the property management is very responsive to your needs. We were 2 families of 4 each and very comfortable.
We had a great experience staying for the weekend! Will definitely book again!
The cabin is very up to date and was very clean. It was roomy enough to spread out and had good gathering space to eat together and play games. The property and surrounding area is beautiful and well worth a visit. Read everything they send you and DO NOT come in from Moore Mount Road.
